Gump’s recently hosted an Estate Jewelry Event from October 13–18, presenting a highly curated selection of antique and vintage pieces. The showcase offered a rare opportunity to acquire jewelry that reflected the finest artistry and craftsmanship of bygone eras. Guests joined us at our San Francisco flagship at 250 Post Street and online to explore treasures spanning Art Deco sophistication, Victorian romance, and Mid-Century glamour.
