Timeless elegance. Modern jewels. Rare antiquities. Magnificent and unusual treasures
The royal families of Europe enjoyed a game of chance with lovely, delicately etched mother of pearl gaming counters a century or two ago. Extraordinary in their beauty these counters served as early gambling chips. Each one was individually carved for famed royal courts during the 18th and 19th centuries, China's Ch'ing Dynasty. As unique as snowflakes, no two of these gaming counters are alike. Each one has a story to tell: lovers wooing, families warring, flowers blossoming or birds singing, these charming motifs fascinate and intrigue. Many display family crests, in essence monograms, of royal families.
CandaceK surrounds these timeless treasures with precious stones. Accents of sapphires or rubies sparkle in delicate Chinoserie-inspired settings. The most rare and deeply etched pieces are set-off by diamonds, a stunning contrast to the ethereal beauty of these scare treasures. Each piece in this premiere collection of modern jewels conveys the subtle luxury of long ago style. The candaceK line is currently selling exclusively at Fred Segal Santa Monica, South Coast Plaza and the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace.
For night or for day, for red carpet occasions or every day life, there is a piece in the candaceK collection that gives modern lifestyles a touch of long ago romance and glamour.
