A lady with a love for literature and shiny things discusses books & bling.
Anyone who knows me will not be shocked that I enjoy this Edwardian pink beryl and diamond pendant.
BAM. Paging Edwardian Elle Woods.
It’s got a tiny bow, a giant pink beryl drop, and diamonds – both little twinklers and that lovely 2 carat drop at the bottom. I’d wear it all night long.
This extraordinarily fabulous Edwardian pink beryl and diamond pendant was sold by Humphy Butler and is currently listed in their archive. All images and info are thanks to Humphry Butler.
There’s not a lot to say about this one. It’s a diamond. It’s enormous. Let’s admire it.
To be exact: this diamond is 17.62 carats, D colour, Flawless clarity, with Excellent polish and excellent symmetry. That’s a lot of sparkle.
Today’s going to be a diamond-ey day. Be sure to check back for a very sparkly Friday PM post around 4:30.

Our ancestors did some horrible things, and I’m not on board with glorifying colonialism or genocide, but I like what this holiday means in my house: a day to sit down and concentrate on spending time with your family. I hope any non-Thanksgiving celebrators out have a marvelous day too.
