The Greek key is a repeating geometric motif that has been used on buildings, decorative arts, jewellery and clothing for centuries. The Pattern represents infinity, unity, and the eternal flow of life, symbolized by a continuous line folding back on itself. It’s the perfect template for use on a ring or bangle like this with no beginning, ending, front, or back. This 14 karat yellow gold hinged bangle bracelet measures 6.2mm wide with an inner circumference of seven inches.
The endless bangle design is very convincing as the hinge and clasp are blended seamlessly into the pattern. There is no need for a safety chain as the locking tongue is also the safety and will not extend beyond this position, so it’s impossible to fall off your wrist.
The bracelet is in like new condition without any dents or dings. The bright cut Greek key pattern shows in strong contrast against the pebbled sandblasted finish. It has been crafted from upgraded 14 karat traditional yellow gold and weighs just shy of 8.5 grams. It comes in a hinged Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers presentation box. Estate priced at $1,500.00 CAD.

When you’re as large as Rolex there are not many contemporary products that can be considered rare. The Rolex Cellini line while not truly rare, is certainly more than scarce. The sporty Oyster case models get all the headlines and attract attention but the dressy Cellini should be considered if you’d like to stand apart from the crowd.
In a room full of Rolex enthusiasts you’d definitely be the only person wearing something like this. The Rolex Cellini line has been officially discontinued for a couple of years now.
They focused on highly dressy designs of traditional styling as well as luxury fashionable looks. They were always constructed of premium 18 karat gold or platinum, no stainless steel models. Many Cellini creations were powered by old school hand wind movements that allowed the finished watches to be very thin in profile. This watch only measures 5.7mm in height.
Unlike Rolex sport models, the Cellini emphasizes traditional craftsmanship, often featuring round, oval, or rectangular shapes. Now in our seventh decade of operation, this is only the second Rolex Cellini to pass through our estate department. Reference 4350/8 is one of the rarest and most obscure models you’ll ever encounter. The octagon shaped bezel, rectangular case with integrated bracelet is a classic snapshot of 1970-80s design.
Blackened debossed hash marks and Roman numerals serve as hour markers against the highly polished bezel. An integrated bracelet is reminiscent of a smaller Oyster style links tapering from 22.8mm to 16.0mm. The 27 links will accommodate a wrist size of close to 8 inches. Six of the links are removable for a smaller wrist or for a lady. The bracelet is still quite tight, showing only a minor amount of sag.
Cellini ref:4350 is rare but finding another with a diamond Jubilee dial would be next to impossible. Unless you know what a Jubilee dial is, it just looks like a pretty embossed motif. It’s actually a repeating/offset ROLEXROLEXROLEXROLEXROLEXROLEX pattern that reads horizontally and vertically.
Three square baguette cut diamonds at 3,6, and 9 supply some sparkling contrasting luxury.
This is quite a heavy watch despite the smaller 27mm diameter, it weighs in at a hefty 124.8 grams. It comes with some 2008 Rolex documentation from the previous owner who bought a few extra links to fit his wrist.
It also comes with a period correct Rolex box (not original) and our complimentary one year warranty. This exceedingly rare bit of retired Rolex history is estate priced at $30,000.00 CAD. Stock #505-00658.
Common quartz is one of the most abundant minerals on our planet. In various forms it represents more than ten percent of the earth’s crust by volume. Most natural quartz is unattractive and opaque, looking like just about any other rock. In high quality gem specimens it can form in a brilliant array of colours. The most coveted variety of the mineral quartz are dark saturated purple/violet amethyst and Madeira citrine. Typical citrine are mostly orangish-yellow with medium to light saturation.
Madeira examples take it up a notch on the spectrum to reddish-orange and are highly saturated in intensity. They are among the rarest of quartz varieties, mostly coming from Brazil. This is the colour gem connoisseurs associate when it comes to top quality citrine. Our estate example came to us in a heavy gents ring.
We didn’t love the design, so we carefully removed the stone and recycled the gold to create something new. This large 17.60 carat stone remains in perfect condition. The original ring it was set in couldn’t have been used very often or this relatively soft stone would have likely exhibited some signs of wear. new. It measures 17.6mm x 17.25mm, about the same size as a dime.
It would make a stunning pendant or large dinner ring. It comes with a older appraisal from January 1984 describing the original ring setting and gem.
If orange is your colour and you like unusual natural gems with lots personality this vivid Maderia quartz may be the perfect template to create a unique piece of jewellery. Estate priced at $500.00 CAD ($28.40 per carat). Stock #271-00021.
The Rolex Datejust is the watch that made Rolex a household name. Still in production today, this is the single most popular model Rolex has ever created. Cosmetically speaking this model has changed little since it was introduced to commemorate Rolex’ 40 anniversary way back in 1945. More than 80 years later it’s still in style and still in demand by people from all walks of life by both men and women.
The watch transcends fashion styles that come go and is admired by every generation. If you are looking that looks good today and will always be welcomed back to trade, there is no better than any Rolex Datejust. The name Datejust may seem a bit awkward, but it makes perfect sense given some thought. Most watches slowly mechanically turn over the date display starting around 10:00pm taking several hours to fully turn the disc to reveal the next day of the month. Rolex produced a quick turn mechanism advancing the date in the blink of an eye within a few minutes of exactly midnight. This seemingly simple process makes the date display absolutely true and “just”, hence the unusual moniker.
Modern Rolex production is estimated at around one million watches per year making a contemporary Datejust very common. This wasn’t always the case. It took Rolex 60 years to produce its first million watches total production of all models. According to the 1,429,680 serial number and as per the case back stamp, this example was produced some time during the 3rd quarter of 1966.
When some people see the made in U.S.A. bracelet, they think the watch (or at least the bracelet) is a fake. This is not the case. Rolex produced many of their bracelet in the U.S. to get around steep import tariffs applied to non American produced watches.
American made Jubilee bracelets can easily be recognized by the oval profile links.
In the early the mid 20th century there were plenty of made in the U.S.A watches that benefitted from this protection. Today, every one of those original watch brands are out of business despite the protectionist actions. Some of those old American watch brands have been revived, but only in name as foreign buyers bought up the bankrupt companies and intellectual property for pennies on the dollar. Our latest Rolex Datejust 1603 features a 26 jewel self-winding movement calibre 1570 tuned to chronometer specifications for accuracy.
18 karat yellow gold hands and hour markers display the time on greyish/brown dial showing some interesting patina. The stick hour markers are a little different than just the typical flat hash marks, they have a peaked centre with four polished facets on the surface.
The classic 18 karat yellow gold fluted bezel framing the dial provides a functional seal compressing the plastic crystal against a flange on the bezel. This pretty feature isn’t just an iconic styling detail, it keeps this watch water-resistant.
The rest of the watch is high grade stainless steel that wears up well to all of life’s day to day challenges. This watch is in good condition for a 60 year old example. It is running well, keeping very good time with all functions working as designed. The Jubilee bracelet will accommodate a man’s (or woman’s) wrist size of just shy of 8 inches or less.
We are happy to provide the next owner a complimentary 1-year warranty. You can still find a 36mm Datejust with an 18 karat white gold bezel on the Rolex website for $12,850.00 CAD. Ours vintage estate model is priced at $4,390.00 CAD. Stock #505-00657.
Anything from the brand with that iconic robin egg blue box is something special. These Tiffany “Open Heart” floating pendants would make a wonderful gift for any mom, any mom to be, or someone very special. The floating heart design has been around for decades.

There is no wrong way to wear an open hear necklace. Our estate pendants are crafted from premium 18 karat yellow gold or sterling silver. They measure 35mm wide in gold and 22mm in silver.
The gold heart comes with a rather long 30 inch rolo style chain and the silver one comes with a 16 inch.
The gold heart is of solid construction and surprisingly hefty, weighing in at a little over 14 grams including the chain. Both pendants are in excellent hardly worn condition, and neither appear to have been polished. The yellow gold pendant and chain show minor oxidation from years of not being worn. This patina can literally be removed in less than 30 seconds by gentle rubbing with a polishing cloth. We thought we’d leave it alone as testament to its lightly worn then put away history.
