Antique, Vintage and Estate Fine Jewellery – Melbourne, James Alfredson – July 2010 –

James Alfredson since opening has specialized in antique, vintage and estate fine jewellery which has an exciting allure as jewelry that stands out. James Alfredson’s jewellery encompasses Georgian, Victorian, Art Nouveau, Edwardian, Art Deco, Retro and 1960’s periods. Jewellery designers from these periods often had a clear understanding of artistic design and an understanding of the aesthetics of design and the significance of the inclusion (or exclusion) of gemstones as an integral part of the design.

When it comes to the special occasions such as diamond engagement it is hard to go past diamond rings from the Art Deco period. A complete break from past designs the Art Deco movement introduced linear and geometric design with fine detail and combinations of bright colours. It thus became the popular modern appeal at that time and this appeal continues today for diamond engagement rings. Today many designs from the Art Deco period have influenced contemporary jewellers to look back to the past for inspiration. Diamond rings from the Art Deco period are also a wonderful gift to mark other special occasions and anniversaries.

Going back further into the past from Art Deco to fine Victorian jewellery the offerings can be exciting. Currently James Alfredson has in stock a fine antique ring that features an amethyst with fine diamond lace work around the amethyst. This type of antique ring makes you appreciate the skill of the jewelers from the past. Diamond jewelry from the Victorian period can offer incredible aesthetics in fine jewellery design. Pictured here is a Victorian diamond bow brooch so perfectly designed it looks like fine material naturally folded in a bow. James Alfredson also has spectacular Victorian Diamond pendants that suit those who desire a fine jewel for a special occasion.
