Best of Jewellery, LAPADA Fair, 2018
LAPADA is a veritable treasure trove. The annual art and antiques fair, celebrating its tenth anniversary this year, caters to collecting tastes old and new. There's everything from Old Master paintings and Aboriginal Art to European Porcelain and Contemporary Art.
But make no mistake, LAPADA offers a wealth of sparkling fine jewellery, too. From Art Deco bracelets to vintage creations from the 1950s, LAPADA presents exceptional and rare pieces from around the world.
Ahead of LAPADA London 2018, we scout out the diamonds, emeralds, rubies and sapphires to covet, buy and, of course, at the very least, try on.
With an international reputation for excellence in Victorian and early twentieth-century jewels, it comes as no surprise that Anthea A G Antiques will showcase a collection of extremely rare pieces at LAPADA this year. Central to the stand's presentation will be a citrine and diamond bangle, dating to the 1940s, and a marvelously unusual dress clip of a duck designed by George Lenfant, dating to the 1960s.
