I met Leo Mavroviti at the Bridgehampton Antique Show this past August. I was walking by a number of booths, but when I saw his, I had to stop.  I immediately spotted two incredibly beautiful Cartier Rings from the 70s & 80s.  There was no looking away.
 
I was reminded of a love once lost, a vintage Cartier Ring I tried on at Maxfields in LA.  It had a thick gold band with a swinging barbell and one of the end balls was covered in pave diamonds.  It still hurts my heart to think about it.  Trust me, don’t let the one you love slip away!
After heading back to the city and geared up for the launch of PINKCLOUDS and the start to SW11 NY Fashion Week, I made a visit to see my favorite collection of rings in NYC. Leo Mavroviti has a charming store in the heart of Lincoln Center. The Emporium Antique Shop houses a world full of antiques and vintage jewelry, including some of the most amazing vintage Cartier rings I have ever seen.  When in the neighborhood you should grab a coffee and pay him a visit for some fun browsing!
 
I knew these rings would one day be a Fix item on PINKCLOUDS and I have waited for this day to come!  I will be eternally jealous of the lucky lady who one day owns the Ziggurat Art Deco Ring. Please do not be surprised if I eventually track you down to buy it back in the near future! Before I die?
