Some Info About Black Starr & Frost

1. America’s Oldest Jeweler

Founded in 1810 by Isaac Marquand in New York City, Black, Starr & Frost is the oldest continuously operating jewelry firm in the United States. To put that in perspective, it predates Tiffany & Co. by 27 years and Cartier by nearly 40 years.

2. The "Jeweler to the Gilded Age"

During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the firm was the primary choice for America’s "aristocracy." Their ledgers from this era read like a history book of American industry, with regular clients including:
  • The Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, and Carnegies.
  • The Guggenheims and Astors.
  • Mary Todd Lincoln (who famously amassed a massive debt at the shop).

3. Cultural Iconic Status

The brand reached peak pop-culture fame in 1953 when Marilyn Monroe mentioned them in the iconic song "Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend" from the film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. The lyric famously groups them with the world's elite:
"Tiffany's! Cartier! Black, Starr, Frost-Gorham! Talk to me Harry Winston, tell me all about it!"

4. Famous Diamonds & Masterpieces

BS&F has handled some of the world's most legendary gemstones, including:
  • The Portuguese Diamond: A 127-carat flawless diamond sold to actress Peggy Hopkins Joyce in 1928.
  • The Archduke Joseph Diamond: A 76-carat Golconda diamond sold at Christie's for over $21 million.
  • The Davis Cup: They were commissioned to create the original silver trophy for the international tennis competition.

5. Innovations in Retail

The firm is credited with several "firsts" that changed how people buy luxury:
  • Window Shopping: They were the first to use large plate-glass windows (in 1833) to display jewelry to pedestrians.
  • Safe Deposit Boxes: They helped pioneer the modern vault and safe deposit system in the mid-1800s.
