Even though I co-wrote a book about Sherman jewellery, Schreiner pieces hold a special place in my heart. Henry Schreiner was innovative in his use of stones and designs, and his pieces still hold up, many years after the company folded.

This ruby and clear necklace is offered by Ruby Lane seller Sharon’s Sparkles, and is just a really gorgeous example of Schreiner’s work. This sells for USD$525.
