For over 80 years, spanning three generations of family ownership, Kentshire Galleries has been one of the foremost dealers in fine antique and period jewelry and objets d’art. As the third generation of the family to lead Kentshire, Carrie Imberman and her brother, Matthew, continue to refine the gallery’s founding vision: buying and selling outstanding jewelry and objects of enduring design and elegance.

A gold and carved carnelian bracelet of knotted design, in 18k. Angela Cummings. Carnelian has been prized since antiquity, appearing in jewelry from ancient Egypt through the Renaissance and beyond. In this bracelet, Angela Cummings reinterprets the age-old material in a modern manner, allowing the sculptural and luminous qualities of the carnelian to become the focal point. The gold framework provides both structure and visual contrast, successfully creating the illusion of an unbroken strand of carnelian twisted into knotted forms.
