John Van Dell established his jewelry house in 1935. Its
customer base has routinely included clients from around the world. Unlike
competitors who concentrate on creating pieces that need special occasions for
display, Van Dell jewelry is designed with daily wear in mind. At this time,
the company offers two distinct jewelry collections.
Its fine jewelry collection is a mix of collector’s items
and one-of-a-kind pieces. Examples that underscore the breadth and depth of
this collection are plentiful.
Yellow, pink and
white diamond ring. The colors play beautifully off one another. In spite
of the many pieces that make up the whole, it is actually quite dainty and
perfectly suitable for daily wear.
14-kt Yellow gold
starfish with white octopus. The necklace features two tone diamonds that
accent the starfish. A smaller octopus is off to the side. The design is whimsical and small.
18-kt White gold
sapphire ring. A piece of estate jewelry that is up for sale, this electric
blue stone is surrounded by a halo of diamonds.
14-kt Rose gold smoky
topaz ring. The indisputable attraction of this jewelry item is the topaz
that makes up its middle. The setting and minute halo of white diamonds merely
play second fiddle.
The second Van Dell collection consists of equestrian
jewelry. Individual product lines include belt buckles, bridle plates, charms,
pins, unique pieces and earrings.
Citrine and diamond
horse head pendant. This one-of-a-kind item features 14kt white gold and a
citrine cut in the shape of a horse’s head. It is outlines by a thin band of
diamonds.
Boulder opal double
horse heads set in silver. This is another unique item for the right
jewelry collector. It features a highly detailed carving with Boulder opal as
the medium. The outline is hugged by a band of sterling silver.
Arabian horse head.
There is room for customization with this piece. It is made to adorn the neck
of the rider who appreciates fine Arabian horses. Sizing is optional and pave
may be added all along the mane or indeed the whole head.
This last piece underscores the tertiary focus of the Van Dell jewelry business: customization. In-house jewelry designers and
metal-working experts collaborate with interested clients on the creation of
custom pieces. Whether the client already has a sketch in hand or still just a
vague idea of a piece he or she would like to buy, the experts at Van Dell can
see a project through from the beginning of a concept to the final execution of
a finished piece.
It is not uncommon for these jewels to cross the lines
between unique classical pieces and equestrian jewelry. Depending on the
client, some pieces may start out in an equestrian style but gradually move
away from this design field as the client changes designs and adds or subtracts
design elements. Offering this type of flexibility is a hallmark of Van Dell.
