Rebecca Rau Jewels
Where History and Design Converge
Rebecca Rau Jewels, available exclusively at M.S. Rau, embodies a distinctive vision of artistry that bridges eras. A fourth-generation antiquaire, Rebecca Rau brings the discerning eye of a curator to the language of contemporary jewelry design. Her work celebrates the enduring dialogue between past and present—between the artistry of ancient civilizations and the innovation of modern craftsmanship.
THEN & NOW
Her celebrated THEN & NOW collection transforms authentic artifacts from antiquity—Byzantine pendants, medieval fragments, Roman glass, and carved gemstones—into refined, wearable works of art. Each piece honors the integrity of its historic origin while expressing a distinctly modern aesthetic. Through meticulous conservation, goldsmithing, and gem-setting, Rau preserves the soul of ancient objects, reinterpreting them with luminous materials such as 18k gold, diamonds, spinels, garnets and pearls.
Beyond THEN & NOW, Rebecca Rau continues to explore themes of form, meaning, and transformation across her broader body of work. Whether inspired by myth, material, or geometry, her designs reflect a deep respect for craftsmanship and a fascination with the stories embedded in every jewel.
Family Legacy
