Glamorous Watches

I'm not a fan of watches, as you have probably noticed, since I hardly ever post them on here. The watches below are quite the exception!
A platinum, gold, enamel, pearl and gem-set ball form watch with silver gilt and pearl-set crown brooch, by Falize, circa 1900.
 A yellow gold and enamel watch by L. Duchêne & Fils, 1810.

An 18 karat white gold, pearl, green tourmaline and diamond-set bracelet with concealable dial, by Longines, circa 1974.

A yellow gold, enamel, and pearl-set open faced Verge watch with chatelaine, by Shrapnell, London, circa 1775.

A fine and rare gold, enamel, pearl and diamond set pendant watch designed as a strawberry, Swiss made, circa 1810.

A yellow gold, enamel, and diamond pendant watch, Swiss made, circa 1890.

Gold Jewels

 The bright color of yellow gold isn't nearly so common in jewelry, as it seems to clash with the silver color of diamonds, (for those that are so fashion conscious), and as a result, many jewels are set in platinum,white gold, or silver. This brooch is made with pale rainbow opals, yellow gold, coral, and diamonds.

 A David Webb square brooch, done in diamonds set in a white metal, with a gold rope design.

 A white coral, diamond, and gold ear pendant.

 A large, lace-like cuff bracelet in pierced gold.

 A floral diamond and gold tassel brooch.

 A tri-layer bangle bracelet in gold with rubies and diamonds.

A very classical Tiffany and Co. pocket watch, done in Green Enamel with a floral design in delicate gold.
