J.E Caldwell, Lambert Bros Jewelers and Belais Manufacturers

Websters dictionary states that the word, synonymous, is a like in meaning or identifiable. When we think of Belais jewelers we think of white gold, and with Lambert Bros. we think of the pear shape diamond and Liz Taylor. Belais Manfacturing Company was started by David Belais in the late 1800's and lasted until the early 1940's. They were one of the earliest manufacturers of white gold. Belais applied for a patent in the early 1900's for white gold. His gold was a mixture of the alloys white gold, zinc, and nickle. The brilliancy of this was that when the war came to fruition, platinum wasn't being used, so this white gold became the standard. Belais applied for the patent in 1918, called white gold, and it was granted in 1920. Belais used beautiful mine cut diamonds and european cut diamonds in solitaire engagement rings flanked by stunning filigree and floral engravings. They also loved gemstones, and semi precious gemstones including aquamarines with classic milgrain engravings. Another wonderful jeweler was the Lambert Brothers of NYC. They came into existence in the late 1800's. Lambert Brothers jewelers was started in the late 1800's with August Lambert, and his brother, making beautiful engagement rings and jewelry. The tradition continued into the 1970's with the grandson, Henry, at the helm. Henry then sold Lambert Bros. to the Zale corporation. In 1979 Henry purchased the famed 69.42 carat pear shape diamond that was given to Liz Taylor from Richard Burton for 3 million dollars. Here are four beautiful antique engagement rings! J.E Caldwell and Co was synonymous for beautiful art deco jewelry and art deco engagement rings and diamond engagement rings using masterful filigree engravings and european cut diamonds. Caldwell partnered James Bennet to form Bennet and Caldwell in the mid 1800's and after Bennet's death years later , he founded in the J.E Caldwell and Co.
J.E Caldwell and Co
This very important jewelry company from Philadelphia PA produced beautiful art deco diamond rings and this stunning deco ring circa 1930's features 3 center european cut diamonds and surrounded by ten european cut diamond accents residing in a platinum setting completed with filigree embellishment.

Our Legacy!

Legacy, simply said, is what we leave behind. What will be our legacy? I will always remember the wonderful memories I have of my mother, especially when she would go out on a Saturday night, and put on her Art Deco ring. Or when she would go to a beautiful affair, and she would wear her Art Deco diamond bracelet. When I put on my mom's antique ring, or Art Deco bracelet, it takes me back to a different time. It makes me feel special. In some ways, I actually feel like she's with me. Thats what's so special about Art Deco jewelry; the special memories that will always be with you, and your family. The beautiful memories your children will have when you pass it on to them. Each Art Deco engagement ring has its own story, or journey, and nothing you will wear can embody your personal journey more. So let's start your legacy with a beautiful antique ring from the Art Deco, Victorian, or Edwardian era.
