House Collections
From Regency salons to Ottoman courts, each collection pairs museum-worthy antiques with proprietary Celestine cuts, framing history in gold tuned to California light—from canyon dusk to Pacific tide.
Regency · 1811–1820
Hand-chased silver and gold, originally worn in Regency drawing rooms, now cradling champagne diamonds cut to echo candlelit ceilings and pale coastal skies.
Includes a modular tiara that transforms into a rivière necklace.
Silk Road Provenance
Mughal and Ottoman mounts renewed with saturated emeralds, each stone precisely matched to the patina and engraving of its setting.
Each jewel is accompanied by a hand-bound provenance dossier.
Curated 17th–19th C.
Singular objets: a pocket watch haloed in rose-cut diamonds, reliquary pendants veiled in rock crystal, fragments of meteorite framed in gold.
One-of-one creations, reserved for private offer.
Salon Gallery
A quiet mosaic of antique lockets, heirloom rings, and luminous stones captured in Los Angeles daylight and twilight—each piece a chapter from a different century meeting Pacific sky.
The House Experience
Guests are welcomed into a sun-washed room overlooking the Los Angeles hills, where vitrines float in soft shadow and each jewel is revealed against sky and sea. Our gemologists and historians guide you through eras, ateliers, and stones, curating a narrative that moves from Old World courts to West Coast horizons.
01 · Reception
A quiet arrival, fresh air from the canyon, and a conversation about your wishes as the light shifts across the room.
02 · Curation
A tailored presentation of antiques and loose stones drawn from the vault, staged in daylight and the first tones of evening.
03 · Creation
Design sessions with our atelier to set your chosen stones in signature mounts that feel born of both Europe and the Pacific.
Salon Atmosphere
Los Angeles Hills Daylight Room
Maison Heritage
From a modest stall in London’s Hatton Garden to a hidden residence in the hills above Los Angeles, Celestine Crown has remained fiercely independent. Our family has learned to read the language of hallmarks, ateliers, and inclusions—to know when a piece will still sing against Pacific light a century from now.
1974
Founder Elise Marlow begins with a single cabinet of Victorian lockets and Georgian rings, chosen for their stories as much as their stones.
1993
Elise's son refines a proprietary faceting style that traps light at the heart of each stone, designed to complement antique mounts without overpowering them.
2011
A discreet residence in the hills above Los Angeles becomes a multi-room salon, where collectors, curators, and dreamers are received strictly by appointment.
