Carl Fabergé had 5 sons, the last of whom Nikolai-always referred to as Nicolas-was sent to England to represent the family business in 1903.

is Blue Topaz Illegal?

The Kay Jewelers store on West 34th Street in New York carries blue sapphire, tanzanite, and aquamarine. What you won't find in this store, however, is a single blue topaz. And you won't find any blue topaz in any of the other 1,332 Sterling Jewelers stores across the country either.

Know-How

Our store is pretty technology friendly. I've created a small office with two workstations that allows our staff to send emails to their customers, work on their special orders and so forth. This allows those not on the floor to keep up with the clientele they've developed.

DIORAMA

Jewelry this season is a bejeweled museum of natural history. Buds and blossoms are fresh off the stem. Animals, birds, and insects have legs and ears, wings and beaks. Fruit is ripe and round, ready for picking. Although nature has long inspired the jeweler's art, these three-dimensional models are no longer confined to the whimsical brooch.
