After Dark
Bold, mysterious, unapologetic.
The After Dark era collects pieces that refuse to be ignored. These are jewels of depth and drama -- onyx, jet, garnet, and blackened metals that carry weight and presence. Where the Blue Hour whispers, After Dark commands.
What Defines the Era
After Dark draws from the hours when formality falls away and something more honest takes its place. These pieces were made for evenings that mattered -- cocktail hours, gallery openings, dinners where the jewelry did the talking.
You will find Victorian drama here alongside mid-century boldness and Art Nouveau mysticism. What connects them is attitude: every piece in After Dark was made to be noticed, remembered, and talked about the next morning.

Signature Pieces
Onyx & Diamond Cocktail Ring
c. 1950s
Black onyx dome surrounded by a halo of baguette-cut diamonds set in 18k gold. This is the ring that ended conversations and started new ones.
Victorian Jet Mourning Necklace
c. 1870s
Hand-carved Whitby jet in graduated faceted beads. Originally worn in grief, now worn in defiance. Some of the most beautiful jewelry was born from the darkest moments.
Art Nouveau Garnet Serpent Bracelet
c. 1910s
A coiled serpent in oxidized silver with garnet-set eyes. The kind of piece that makes you wonder about the woman who first clasped it around her wrist.
The After Dark collector doesn't follow trends. They set the tone for the room they walk into.
