Bell and Bird is located in Austin, Texas, but the owners showcase their meticulously curated collection of antique jewelry all over the country.  They specialize in rare 18th and 19th century heirlooms that are each unique in their own right.   I suggest following them on Instagram to catch an intimate glimpse at these museum quality gems.  Below are some of my favorite snapshots from their account.
