Diamond in the Rough

December 22, 2010

Antique shops can conjure up images of dusty knick-knacks from bygone
days.


Fit for fastidious fashionistas, Cynthia
Findlays spotless emporium
is a treasure trove of high-class
collectables like Louis Vuitton suitcases ($245), monogrammed dressing
table jars and deco cocktail shakers (from $125). Brian Gluckstein stops
in for silver teapots with straw handles and LWren Scott comes for the
marvelous vintage jewellery.

We went wild for a yellow 1930s Bakelite cuff with diamond and pink
tourmaline ($9,800) and a popping 11-carat
sapphire ring
($18,000) à la Kate Middleton.

Cue the prince and well have the jewel in our crown.
