The Curated Collection highlights the unique and exceptional pieces that stood out among the rest for our GIA qualified gemmologist and Managing Director, Joseph Tattersfield.
"A vesta case was the Victorian answer to the cigarette lighter - a small, hinged container for the strike-anywhere matches known as vestas, carried in the pocket or on a chain and often given as gifts between friends and lovers. The finest examples were works of art in miniature.
This one is exactly that. Worked in 9ct rose gold and sterling silver, the case features engraved decoration on both faces, with a small heart motif that suggests it was a personal gift rather than a purely practical object. Suspended from an eighty centimetre
silver belcher link chain.
Today, a vesta case worn as a pendant is a conversation piece of the most interesting kind: beautiful, historical, and entirely unexpected. For the collector and the curious, for the woman who likes to wear a story." - Joseph Tatterfield
