Fine Lace Made of Diamonds
Timeless Elegance
Filigree jewelry is timeless
and elegant. It has been said that filigree
jewelry is like fine lace fashioned out
of platinum and diamonds. The beauty is
found in the unique details — floral
motifs, scroll designs, emeralds, channel-set
diamonds and fine beads of platinum. Just
like the loved ones in your life, each piece
has a history and these details are an expression
of character.
The Whitehouse Brothers designs
produced today were brought from Germany
and adapted in the early part of the 20th
Century in “The Jewelry City”
of Cincinnati. The Victorian, Art Nouveau
and Edwardian periods are the three points
in art history that most influence the jewelry
of Whitehouse Brothers.
Popular motifs that you will
see from this time period are floral images,
organic patterns, and interwoven asymmetric
flowing lines. As Art Deco styles came onto
the scene during the 1920s, more geometric
and abstract patterns emerged. You can see
hints of art deco in the outside edges of
many pieces.
Hand Engraved Process
Whitehouse Brothers hand engraves
each ring, unlike most manufacturers that
produce finished rings directly from a mold.

jewelry (recommended for high-speed

each piece receives.
Whitehouse Brothers has been
a family owned business for over 100 years.
The highly skilled artisans who specialize
in their specific craft (polishing, engraving,
setting, etc.) take pride in creating a
truly exceptional product with timeless
beauty and elegance.
