Vintage chandelier crystals from New York’s legendary Waldorf Astoria Hotel, now reinvented as modern jewels.

Customer Reviews
Sparkles like crazy in the light—all the beautiful rainbow of colors! Just the right size for everyday wear. As with all my John Wind pieces, receive lots of compliments. With the toggle clasp easy on, easy off. Brings back heartfelt memories of visits to the Waldorf.
Love the neklace
When I was a little girl we would go to the Waldorf for tea or luncheon if you got good grades, or did something exceptionally well, such a treat! This beautiful piece of history that lays elegantly around your neck is amazing, absolutely amazing! The charm with my initial, the placement of the crystal and the delicate chain with its toggle clasp make you feel that you are getting ready for tea or luncheon in that beautiful hotel once again. I have worn it with a dress at dinner and with a t-shirt and jeans for drinks on the water, and received many compliments in the times that I have worn it out. Thank you John Wind!
I have wanted an initial piece for awhile now and I was waiting for the right one to come along. Well, this is it! Unique, beautifully crafted, and the joy of knowing a bit of the Waldorf is hanging around my neck, what could be better. Thank you, John, for a gorgeous addition to my collection. Once we return to.live events, the season will be even brighter with this around my neck.

I love this bracelet. It’s so unique. Yes, it’s substantial, but it’s stunning. So cool to own a piece of history. Love it!
Love my bracelet. I got a compliment the first night I wore it. Beautifully crafted.
Wanted to love this, I sure liked the online image & the ‘Plaza chandelier concept’ BUT I have thin wrists and it’s not flattering on me. Sadly I can’t return it as it’s a collectible
Beautiful bracelet and love the meaning of its origin

I thought it was going to look and feel like a real crystal but it doesn't it looks like clear plastic not a crystal real crystal that you see color when light hits it. It looks cheap not what I expected. I love crystal and that's not a real crystal it's fake.
These bracelets exceeded expectations in beauty and definitely hit the right nostalgia notes, since the Plaza is part of my NYC history/experience. I have been wearing them every day since they arrived in my mailbox and have gotten a million compliments. PLUS, the team was so helpful and responsive. Makes me want to buy all the gorgeous jewelry they create.
I love the simplicity and the sparkle of these bracelets. I gave one to her friend and ordered two more pairs. I get compliments every time someone notices these elegant yet wearable-every-day bracelets
I love these bracelets. They are beautiful + knowing that they were once part of the famed Waldorf Astoria...just makes them all the more remarkable.
These bracelets are absolutely breathtaking! I am in love with their casual elegance which will enhance everything I own! The shipping was super fast too! Thank you for my very own piece of The Plaza, I will treasure them forever!

Bought the 18" chain in gold, and it's so exquisite. The toggle clasp is pretty, too, with the rhinestones around it. I'm all about sustainability and also historic pieces, and this has both of those stories. Liked it so much, bought the bracelet afterward.
LOVE this piece. Expecting all sorts of compliments
Thanks SO MUCH
I received my necklace today and it is "Scrumptiously Exquisite." It is beautifully designed and looks and feels substantial. I love the historical component and appreciate John Wind for re-imagining the work of talented crystal artists, from a bygone age, into beautiful pieces of jewelry. If these crystals could talk, I wonder what they would say? And I wonder what they saw during their many years hanging from ornate ceilings? I was born and raised in New York, so this piece is very special to me. Thank you!
Sparkles like crazy in the light—all the beautiful rainbow of colors! Just the right size for everyday wear. As with all my John Wind pieces, receive lots of compliments. With the toggle clasp easy on, easy off. Brings back heartfelt memories of visits to the Waldorf.
