Gems and jewels of the Old World, from Edwardian England to Imperial Russia, continue to grip the modern imagination by evoking images of glittering elegance and romance.  Even without historical associations, jewelry from the past can enthrall us simply by the beauty of its workmanship and antique-cut gems, now largely lost arts.  Surprisingly, many types of antique jewelry offered by Marie E. Betteley are not only wearable but affordable.

Betteley jewels were recently exhibited at the Library Shop during the New York Public Library's exhibition: The Romanovs, Their Empire, Their Books.
