Arsene Wenger’s All-Time Arsenal XI: French boss celebrates 20 years in charge
The lifecycle for a manager at a top football club is usually a very short spell of time. In most cases, you’re fortunate to get 3 or 4 years but in north London one man is celebrating two decades in charge of Arsenal; Arsene Wenger.
Arriving in 1996 to great scrutiny, given he was extremely unknown at the time and had been managing in Japan, Arsene Wenger’s rise has been dramatic. A double in his first full season in charge, leading the Gunners to the Premier League title without losing a single match and overseeing the lucrative transition from Highbury to the Emirates Stadium- he will go down in Arsenal folklore.
During his twenty years in charge, Arsene Wenger has brought through some tremendous talents and has played a part in the careers of some of the finest players in the history of world football- which made selecting his greatest ever side extremely difficult and we’re certain your opinions will vary to ours, so let us know your thoughts in the comments!
In goal, it was a very difficult decision to pick between David Seaman and Jens Lehmann. Seaman won three league titles with the Gunners and four FA Cups but Jens Lehmann’s defining claim of being between the sticks for Arsenal’s unbeaten Premier League triumph in 2004 gives him the edge- and he also boasts an FA Cup crown.
At the right-side of defence it was an equally difficult decision, with our main choices being Lauren or Lee Dixon. In the end, we went with the English defender that boasts four league titles, three FA Cups and a League Cup- but perhaps in a few years we’ll have to add Hector Bellerin to the debate.
The centre of defence pretty much picks itself, with iconic captain Tony Adams featuring alongside Sol Campbell- the man who crossed the north London divide and experienced great success, including scoring for the Gunners in the 2006 Champions League final. With six Premier League and six FA Cup titles between them, it’s a defensive partnership that would counter-act any strike-force.
A name that Arsenal fans may perhaps not like to see on the left is Ashley Cole but, as arguably Arsenal’s most famous graduate of their esteemed youth academy, the left-back simply had to feature. Before betraying the loyal supporters by abandoning his boyhood club to join Chelsea, Cole won a wealth of honours at Highbury- including two Premier League titles and three FA Cups.
Moving on to the midfield, Freddie Ljungberg is our choice on the right-side thanks to his incredible performances for the Gunners. A key-part of the unbeatable side in 2004, Ljungberg won an additional Premier League title in 2002 and lifted three FA Cups. He now coaches the U16 Arsenal side.
On the opposite flank, we’ve elected to go with Alexis Sanchez ahead of Robert Pires. Whilst the Frenchman was an integral part of the unbeatable side like Ljungberg, Alexis is a class apart for Arsenal. Having won the FA Cup at Arsenal, Alexis will be hoping to add further honours to his trophy cabinet and recently made his 100th appearance for the Gunners. He’s also won two Copa America titles with Chile.
In the centre of midfield, our partnership sees Patrick Vieira play alongside his successor Cesc Fabregas. Vieira was a vital cog in the Arsenal machine in the mid-2000’s, a dominant era for Arsene Wenger’s side, whilst Fabregas stepped-up to fill the void after Vieira’s move to Juventus. Fabregas never won an honour at Arsenal but has won the World Cup and Premier League title, establishing himself as a world-class graduate of Arsenal’s youth system.
Where other areas of the pitch were difficult to select, the two strikers in our side walked into the team. Thierry Henry, the club’s all-time leading goalscorer, is immortalised in bronze outside the Emirates Stadium for good reason, whilst his old strike-partner Dennis Bergkamp played a key-part in numerous Arsenal successes- as well as assisting many of Henry’s goals.

Gem Gossip Visits A La Vieille Russie in NYC
Window shopping in NYC is great, but you MUST check out the inside, don't be afraid! Tell them you saw this blog post!
Wow, first things I lay my eyes on after walking into the door--this incredible opal necklace.
The interior is just as magnificent as you would have imagined the iconic ALVR to be!
OMG! I knew I was going to see some amazing jewelry at ALVR--these two were my top picks!
Queen for a minute! This crown was really fun to wear, diamonds set in silver with a chicken feather
Another exquisite piece with unknown origins, but we do know it is Edwardian and American!
Browsing and enjoying every minute of it!
Quite the stack--all rings available from ALVR
A look into one of their curio cabinets of jewels.
Probably the most incredible articulated and enameled snake necklace I've ever seen! Everything is immaculate and the snake looks so life-like!
I had to try it on! You could wear it in so many different ways!!
This brooch is most likely from the Russian Crown Jewels--wow!
Playing with some more rings, all available from ALVR
A pair of very sweet emerald antique earrings
Hearing the stories Mr. Peter Schaffer has to tell, I could listen for hours!
Ah, rings...my favorite part! You can check out the ring selection online from ALVR here.
Cream of the crop Art Deco right here! This brooch pulls apart to become two dress clips
Always looking, scanning, browsing...my advice is to look more than once!
Have you ever seen a pair of jade wasp earrings carrying a diamond briolette pollen drop?!
Probably my favorite bracelet from their extensive collection, this well-made Victorian turquoise and diamond piece
These earrings are not for the faint of heart--I can't get enough of the imperial Topaz
Are you convinced you need to stop in yet?!
Having all the jewels at my fingertips is scary and amazing at the same time! ;)
The holidays are around the corner--put a bow on it! Or two!
Myself with Sharon and Mr. Peter Schaffer
It's 2016 and dreams still do come true. How many people have walked by, zoomed passed in a taxi, or trotted on in a horse/carriage (which should be banned, I think) by the iconic shop that specializes in rare antique jewelry, Faberge, and decorative arts, not to mention Russian treasures of all sorts?! A La Vieille Russie is its name and since 1961 the store has stood across from Central Park, on the corner of 5th Avenue and E. 59th Street. Most every part of NYC is busy, however this area is even more so, especially with tourist foot traffic. I've been hoping, wishing, praying I would get the opportunity to visit this gallery and more importantly, take enough time to fully enjoy every piece and hear the stories that had to be told by Mr. Peter Schaffer himself.
A La Vieille Russie opened its doors to me and want to do the same for you! With some jewelry shops, intimidation for whatever reason, can sometimes prevent one from visiting and taking the time to walk inside the store. People often would rather stare at the windows and not go inside. The staff and owners of ALVR want to let you know that they encourage visitors, curious minds and drooling jewelry fans. The history of their store is important and rich in many senses, but that does not mean they aren't ready and willing to help a gazing customer.
I experienced SO many once-in-a-lifetime pieces of jewelry while visiting A La Vieille Russie. Again, like I said, dreams do come true. The crown was a memorable moment, as well as the labradorite carved monkey ring. The pair of snakes are both incredibly rare, to begin with, and then to experience two very similar ones at the same time...?! I've never felt a piece of jewelry before that was made with such superiority. And so life-like...one could think it is real if the situation were right. From the cabinets of jewels, to the vitrines of Faberge, the collection of cufflinks, and the window of bold pieces, ALVR was the perfect visit for a beautiful day in NYC.
Next time you're in NYC, make sure you stop by--you can say I sent you!

Gem Gossip Visits Heritage Auctions in NYC
What is so special about all of these pieces?! They were once owned by Shirley Temple! Heritage Auctions has a collection of Shirley Temple's jewelry that will go up for auction December 5th-6th
Outside the Heritage Auctions offices in NYC
I loved getting to preview these jewels before they went up for auction in September's Signature Sale
Heritage Auctions is one of my favorites to bid for luxury items because I know they are authentic and what they offer is pretty incredible! I even fell for some of their high-end designer bags!
This necklace is 18k white gold by Mattia Cielo and the earring are by Vhernier done in chalcedony. Both were auctioned off in the September Sale.
Three items from Shirley Temple--this charm bracelet is exquisite, made up of platinum and diamond charms! And wow, these diamond rings!
A closeup of the jewels once owned by Shirley Temple--the Tiffany & Co. bracelet was custom made for her, as her favorite color was orange!
A fun and flirty lapis drop pendant with added pearls which create a tassel. And yes, I've said it before tassels are in! This once belonged to Shirley Temple
Channeling Wonder Woman with these cuffs by Van Cleef & Arpels. These were gifts from Jackie Kennedy Onassis.
Feeling these two together, both in Heritage Auctions' September Signature Sale.
A lapis and diamond necklace by Salvador Dali
These cuffs sold for over $162,000! Amazing!
These Cartier panther earrings are everything!
Love the diversity of what Heritage Auctions offers--here are three bracelets, three very different price points and different eras!
All my favorite rings from the September Signature Sale--that moonstone is amazing! It is by Paula Crevoshay
Heritage Auctions always has something exciting going on, whether it is a celebrity's jewels going up at auction or a fun preview touring across the US, or sales taking place at one of their multiple locations of Dallas, NYC, San Francisco, Chicago, Florida, Houston, and Beverly Hills (also a few worldwide). That's what I like about Heritage Auctions...their ongoing reach at finding pieces to sell is incomparable, they are the experts. The company is a collector's best friend, as they encourage the hobby of collecting but also want curation to be an important aspect for all collectors, so selling is just as important. Heritage is here to do both of these aspects for you--to help you buy and to help you sell--and their specialized categories are numerous, so whatever you are interested in, Heritage probably has a department for you! I like to focus on jewelry, so for me Heritage is great because not only do they have their Signature Sales, three per year, and Tuesday night auctions, which happen every Tuesday night, so jewelry lovers are fully satisfied.
I visited their headquarters last January in Dallas and got to see the facility first-hand, as well as try on some amazing pieces. This time around when I visited NYC, I got to checkout their east-coast location in the city that never sleeps. Just as suspected, the jewels were incredible and if you want to get excited for an upcoming sale, their December Signature Sale will be an event not to be missed! A lot of the pieces I tried on were from yesterday's September Signature Sale, where bidders were setting records and auction hammers were flying. A significant lot featuring a pair of matching 18k yellow gold cuffs by Van Cleef & Arpels, were gifted on a wedding day by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis to her step sister and sold for $162,500! Being able to wear them and photograph them myself is an honor in and of itself.
Heritage Auctions continually is a dominant source for designer jewelry--like Tiffany & Co., Cartier, Blvgari, David Webb, amongst many, many others. Their December Signature Sale, slated for December 5th-6th as a two-day event, has numerous designer pieces. But what you may not realize when glancing at a Tiffany & Co. bracelet or a Blvgari suite in that particular sale is who those pieces once belonged to. Heritage Auctions is so excited to be offering the jewels of Shirley Temple in their December sale! There are several pieces, many of which I got to try on in the photos above. Although the stories behind the jewels, like where or who they are from, when did she wear them, what were her favorites, may not be known, the fact that they were once hers make them that much more special.
Take a look at December's upcoming catalog, more jewelry will be added as it becomes available:
8.43 carat Emerald cut diamond ring set in platinum, once owned by Shirley Temple
Lapis and pearl tassel necklace, once owned by Shirley Temple
Tiffany & Co. orange enamel and turquoise bracelet, once owned by Shirley Temple
Art Deco platinum charm bracelet featuring 15 charms, once owned by Shirley Temple
Matching pair of Blvgari rings, one in ruby and one in emerald, once owned by Shirley Temple
