Antique Pearl and Diamond Ring (circa 1890)

Set just off Madison Avenue on East 80th Street, FD Gallery is a love letter to 20th-century jewelry collecting at its most exceptional. Central cases are devoted to the icons—Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, and contemporary masters like Hemmerle, Viren Bhagat, and Taffin—alongside rarities from Boivin, Belperron, and Verdura. The jewels share space with vintage Chanel and Hermès accessories, Avedon photographs, and Claude Lalanne furniture, every piece collected with the kind of provenance that makes the gallery feel less like a shop and more like a private collector’s dream.
