Alexandra Mor’s Gorgeous creation, “An Ode to Enchanted Light” Aquamarine Ring
An Exquisite jewelry creation by New York demi-couture jeweler Alexandra Mor, “An Ode to Enchanted Light”. This one-of-a-kind ring was commissioned by a private collector as part of Alexandra’s made-to-order service. This aquamarine stands along with some of the finest jewelry creations featuring aquamarine as the main center piece gem. Alexandra Mor creates one of kind creations, and pours all of her passions and desires into the beauty of the creations. If you happen to ever own one, you will be in a league of privileged and passionate jewelry enthusiast.
Try as we might, we can’t take our eyes off that quite spectacular 27.24ct Asscher cut aquamarine.
Alexandra Mor‘s creation, “An Ode to Enchanted Light”. The stepped Asscher cut is most commonly reserved for diamonds, but it works spectacularly here, the light refracting like a mirror off of the 58 facets to reveal the inner depths of that sparkling aquamarine. Inspired by the Pablo Neruda poem of the same name, which features the memorable line, “The world is a glass overflowing with water”, Mor has captured the piercing blue-green of the sea in Chile, Neruda’s home country, in her choice of gemstone, which is held in place by a swirling gold and diamond setting, designed in Mor’s signature style. What a Magnificent creation.

Catherine the Great’s diamond esclavage bow and girandole earrings
An esclavage is a piece of jewelry that was worn on a wide lace or velvet ribbon like a necklace. This bow was made for Catherine II in the latest fashion of the time. It is decorated with a scattering of diamonds and spinels, rare minerals of red and pink shades. It is paired with massive girandole earrings—as candelabra-shaped earrings were called then. The gems appear particularly bright thanks to the use of the same foil technique as in the bouquet brooches above. In fact, their natural color is much softer. At the back of the bow there is the jeweler’s stamp reading “Pfisterer 10 Apr. 1764,” while the earrings are dated May 27 of the same year. The last owner of this set was Empress Maria Feodorovna (1847-1928), the wife of Alexander III. It was found in her chambers in the Anichkov Palace in St. Petersburg after she herself managed to escape Russia following the revolution.
