Sixteen Stone ring

The French-born Jean Schlumberger was a famous 19th-century figure, an artist sensitive to fashion trends who worked for over 30 years with the American luxury company, Tiffany & Co. As a master of the use of vividly-colored enamels, Schlumberger worked like a painter, starting with a drawing that he gradually enriched with details and finished with precious stones selected from a rich palette. Lovers of jewelry created by a true master won’t want to miss the auction that Sotheby’s has organized for Nov. 20 in Geneva, where Luisa Fanti Melloni’s collection will be on the auction block.

Sera Frame

Umbra was born and the housewares industry was changed. The paper window shade gained distribution quickly via trade show exposure. New stores such as Pottery Barn and Crate & Barrel were growing and demanding well designed innovative products.
Umbra saw the opportunity to once again revitalize a category whose products had become stale and uninspired. Umbra began by producing innovative, contemporary frames for specialty stores. The ingeniously designed Multi frame, displaying a number of pictures at one time, was a concept based on old-fashioned “family tree” photo mattes, and made Umbra frames famous. If imitation is the greatest form of flattery, then the Multi frame has garnered more than its share of praise. Competitors have duplicated it more often than any other Umbra product.
Beautiful metal modern picture frames that will charm your modern decor. Decor items like modern picture frames are an extension of taste and personality. The Umbra frame give your modern home decor a special vibrance and uniqueness.
Materials: The Umbra frame are brushed aluminum and glass
Options/Finishes: Sera frame in natural metal finish.
