DIDIER LTD.
Didier Ltd. specializes in the purveying of jewelry created by fine artists, rather than designers or professional jewelers. Most of their pieces are one of a kind, if not in very limited editions.

Wartski was exhibiting one of the most impressive collections of Fabergé knick knacks I've ever seen outside of a book on the subject. No Easter eggs, though.
