Though I appreciateArt Deco, I adore Edwardian jewelry. Deco comes across as colder, like a beautiful woman who wants to be admired from afar, whereas there is something more delicate and beckoning about Edwardian designs.

Case in point, this luscious choker from Lang Antiques, made of seed pearls, platinum and gold. My wedding dress was from 1918 and I had a (costume) choker but would I have loved this…

It is priced at USD$8,750.
