Bracelet with removeable brooch or pendant by Nadine Krakov

Nadine Krakov Collection

We’re happy to introduce BeansTalk readers to one of LA’s secret treasures: The Nadine Krakov Collection.

Krakov travels the country and the couture shows each year looking for one of a kind specialty pieces. This mini castle of jewels features exquisite estate and vintage jewelry.

Krakov’s collection includes engagement rings, tennis bracelets, vintage time pieces, tiara’s fit for a princess, and red-carpet bling. Her collection includes rare finds, estate and signed pieces from today, ranging in price from $500 to $500,000.

Krakov can tell you where each piece came from and validate its history. It's a great conversation starter -- how many times have you been complimented on your vintage jewelry and actually have its history? BeansTalk has a beautiful, gorgeous engagement ring and all we know is its Edwardian (and had to have the wedding band custom made, as well as the decade anniversary ring, for a truly lovely trio of rings). We'd love to know more about it. If you purchase from Krakov, you'll know all the scoop.

Krakov pieces have been worn and/or purchased by celebs including Angelica Houston, Jennifer Tilly, Gina Gershon, a regular, Zoey Deschanel, Jacklyn Smith, Kate Bosworth, Orlando Bloom and socialite/Demi Moore pal Jackie Getty.

The Nadine Krakov Collection not only caters to the monied, but also to those with a budget in mind. There are $100-$400 boxes of cocktail rings, and other unique less costly items.
