Where can I find one-of-a-kind jewelry?

Answer:
If you really want to give the gift of jewelry that

is as beautiful as it is rare, you should look to the jewelry of Jean Schlumberger. He's a hidden gem (pun intended) because not too many people know of him, yet his jewelry is sought-after by people who want fine jewelry.

Schlumberger was a designer for Tiffany and was best known for his use of enamel in bangle bracelets, necklaces and rings. His jewelry, like his customers, signified money and elegance but were not widely circulated. And, because of the jeweler's artistry, the Schlumberger jewelry has an excellent pedigree.

Schlumberger created a sensation in the 1960s with his enamel bangel bracelets. They became favored baubles by the world's most fashionable - and wealthy - women. His jewelry is not so pricey, however, that you cannot afford it if a special piece catches your eye.

You may browse the Schlumberger collection on Tiffany's site. Schlumberger jewelry also finds its way to eBay from time to time. If you're on a budget, it's also possible to find reproductions of the bracelets on eBay as well.
