Antique Pre-Revolutionary Russian 3ct Sapphire and Diamond Bracelet in 14k Gold and Platinum
$ 28,890.00
In March of 2012, workers restoring a building in St. Petersburg found a hoard of over 1,000 pieces of silver, jewelry and precious objects hidden in a secret storage space between two floors. The items were wrapped in newspaper that dated from the early months of 1917, around the time of the February Revolution which toppled the last Tsar of Russia, Nicholas II. The building was a palace which had belonged to one of Russia’s most prominent noble families, the Naryshkins.
As World War I pushed Russia to the brink of it’s resources, and it’s large army was led to ruinous battles by a lack of leadership, the Russian ruble was driven into deep recession and the Russian people were driven into starvation. In March of 1917, the Tsar was overthrown and forced to abdicate and the nobility of Russia fled to other parts of the world or were imprisoned or sent to Siberia. Tsar Nicholas and his family were taken away and eventually detained in a house in Yekaterinburg where they were brutally murdered in the basement in the wee hours of July 17, 1918. When the bodies were searched, the guards found jewelry, gems, and strings of pearls sewn into their clothing.
This fantastic bracelet was made in Russia in about 1914, only a few years before the Revolution. Was it made for nobility? Did it ride out of Russia in the early days of 1917 sewn into the lining of a fur coat? Was it discovered hidden in a wall or under a floor, dug up by an unsuspecting farmer? I don’t know, I don’t guess we’ll ever know. I purchased it in London from a lovely lady who purchased it in Poland. It’s probably gone through more than a few hands since it’s creation, graced more than a few wrists.
This fabulous bracelet was hand crafted by a master craftsman and is bezel set with a fabulous bright blue antique cushion cut, 3 carat natural sapphire which shows no signs of enhancement. The stone weight was estimated in the mounting. It is further set with 18 full cut and 48 rose cut diamonds which add up to approximately 3.12 carats total weight. This piece is fully hallmarked with Russian marks and these marks indicate it’s metal fineness at 14 karat gold, the stones are set in platinum. The gold has a rosy hue, the metals were also acid tested to verify content. This bracelet is 7 inches long and weighs 15.6 grams. The overall face measures 46.1 mm from north to south and narrows to 3 mm wide at the back. There is a slot catch with safety clasp. This piece comes with a full appraisal and is valued at $45,000, it also includes an AGL certification which reports that the sapphire is unheated and untreated and is Ceylon in origin.
This fantastic Russian beauty makes me wish (not for the first time) that jewelry could talk. What a tale it would have to tell. If you feel you need a mesmerizing jewel with an important past that you can wear for now and sew into the lining of your yoga pants if the Bolsheviks should rise up yet again, this stunning bracelet would certainly be an excellent choice!

French Edwardian Diamond Sapphire Ring

He set a picnic blanket on the white sands of Gruissan Beach, next to the deep blue sea waters of the Mediterranean. He had two wine glasses, a bottle of red, and tiny cucumber sandwiches. She met him at dusk, as the sky turned to pink and the stars came out, winking, and bright. The wind was still and the waves were soft. The air was salty and her hair fell around her face in curls. Even in twilight her eyes glowed. Together, they sat and sipped, and talked, and laughed. It was around midnight, as the sky turned to black, that he asked her for her hand. She said yes. He gave her a ring that looked just like this night, blue as the water, and glittery as the Milky Way.

They were well known for producing fabulous tiaras and were the jewelers to to Queen Marie-Antoinette and many other French aristocratcs of the period; they even created the coronation crown for Napoleon. In 1885 the jeweler Joseph Chaumet, who married into the Nitot family, would take over the running of the shop in Paris and it would become known as the House of Chaumet. Joseph would create jewels for virtually every court in Europe, Russia, India and the near east; and while the House of Chaumet still exists today, it was the artistry of Joseph Chaumet we see in this fabulous floral or sunburst clip.

It can also be worn as a brooch on just about anything, and would look amazing at the bottom of the V on a dresses neck.

1940s Baroque Pearl and Gemstone Rooster Brooch in 18 Karat Gold
$ 14,000.00
Here is a wonderful and cheeky rooster who is beautifully hand crafted. The body of the bird is created from a large, natural, Baroque Pearl. His tail is set with a spray of rubies, diamonds and sapphires; and his head is further set with rubies, sapphires and emeralds. The brooch is fully engraved with fanciful and realistic details down to the toes on its perfect little feet.
This piece is marked on the back of the leg, but I was not able to make these marks out. It was most likely made in France in the 1940s, at a time when these brooches were highly desirable and created by many of the important jewelry houses. Buccellati, Cartier, Yard and Tiffany all crafted brooches in this genre, many with a pearl as the central body of the animal. It's quite possible this brooch was created by one of these important houses. It's beautifully crafted, note how the back is left open to reveal the back of this magnificent, 60 carat natural pearl.
The body of this piece tests as 18 karat gold and the diamonds are set in platinum. The pin stem has a trombone style clasp. The brooch measures 55 x 53x 17 mm and weighs 21.56 grams.
This piece has been expertly appraised by an independent appraiser and has a value of $15,000. Please inquire for a full copy of the detailed appraisal.

Antique Edwardian 1.75 carat Diamond Solitaire Ring in Platinum
$ 13,800.00
Old cut diamonds can be dangerous. The more of them you see, the more of them you desire to own! Whereas modern brilliant cut diamonds can be nice and sparkly, old European cuts like this one are more like individual works of art. Hand cut by master craftsmen who spent decades honing their skills. These cutters used no computers, no lasers, they used their eyes, their experience and their hands, often cutting with tools they had made themselves. The result is a diamond with a uniqueness of character that simply cannot be found in todays modern cut stones. This European ring was made in about 1910 and showcases the simplicity of the Edwardian style anchored firmly by an Old European cushion cut diamond with large cut facets that cause it to flash with slow and stunning sparks of colorful fire.
This ring is hand crafted in platinum and it showcases a round cushion cut diamond which measures 7 mm x 7.4 mm by 4.9 mm deep and weighs approximately 1.6 carats. I estimate the diamond to be an I color and an SI2 clarity stone with a small feather incisions visible with only with a 10x power jewelers loupe. The shoulders are also worked in platinum and are set with 3 small diamonds on each side Old European cushion cut diamond for added sparkle. It is currently a size 6 but could be (and has been in the past) re-sized to suit. This ring comes with a full independent appraisal done by an independent GIA certified Master Gemologist and has a replacement value of $17,500.00.
This ring is the quintessential engagement ring, a solitaire of stunning size filled with brilliant fire!

She had the soul of a writer and a more varied and interesting life than most can even imagine. She spoke four languages, fluently. She was born in Russia but lived parts of her life in various parts of the United States, lectured and wrote at Princeton, she lived in the UK, too, visited Switzerland, India and more. She married a famous architect and lived with him for a time. He bought her jewels. This was one of them. She was my friend and I was honored to know her, she was kind and funny and wicked smart.
This fabulously hand crafted bracelet was made in the mid-late 1960’s. It’s so beautifully made that I thought for sure it must be by some famous designer, but it bears no marks and my research turned up only some vague ideas. It is a gloriously heavy length of 80.82 grams of 18 karat gold artfully wrapped around 35 bright blue sapphires of varying sizes which add up to 11.34 carats total weight. It is additionally set with 45 high luster pearls, white with silvery overtones, these being 2.5 and 6 mm each.

In a gown of lace and ivory she walked down an aisle bordered by mahogany pews, lined with the smiling faces of her friends and family. She held a bouquet of white roses accented with cranberries and evergreens. Her smile was mulberry and her bright green eyes were stuck on him, waiting for her at the front, just steps away. There was music, she was sure of it, but she was too nervous to hear it. Her ears were adorned in diamonds, something old and something borrowed. Her neck bore a strand of creamy white pearls which her mother had given her only moments ago. On her finger she wore his grandmothers diamond ring. It was hard to tell what part of her they were staring at, her joy, or her sparkle.

Sold Out - $ 11,000.00
A giant, flashing, golden citrine is the sunshine of this fabulous flower garden; so big and juicy that one can almost smell the daisies! An homage to peace, love, and happiness, this pretty and haute couture hippie ring brings bright flower power on even the rainiest of days. With a ring like this, you could truly bring your own sunlight wherever you happen to venture!
The royal sized rectangular faceted golden citrine stone is set inside 23 various sized gold daisies, some of which are actually attached to the ring in an en-tremblant fashion, shake and twist with every move of your lovely hand. It was most likely crafted in the 1960s, possibly in France, which is where I purchased it. It is marked with an as yet unidentified makers mark (I’d be delighted to hear if anyone recognizes it!), but it’s otherwise unmarked. Although I don’t yet know the designer, this is most certainly a special designer piece, it is quite spectacular. The mesmerizing citrine is a fabulous deep golden color kissed with orange, truly the color of sunlight at dusk, it measures 29.5 mm north to south and 24.5 mm wide by 16 mm deep, and totals about 76.61carats. The ring narrows to 5 mm wide at the back of the band. It's been acid tested to ensure 18 karat gold purity. This piece is a size 8.5 and weighs 42.2 grams, I think it could be re-sized pretty easily, care should be taken to preserve the mark.

Edwardian Diamond Emerald Ring Platinum Cluster
$ 9,800.00
There’s a joke about Wisconsin that goes like this: “Welcome to Wisconsin, where we have two seasons, Winter and ‘the other season’ ”. It’s true, winters here do seem to drag on a little too long and take up half the year. And while the winter here is beautiful I find that every once in while I have to hop on a plane and land somewhere (anywhere) lush and green. Just filling my eyes with the rich greens of the tropics does wonders for getting me through until May when the green starts edging back into my landscape. And in between trips to green places, I just pop on a ring like this, I find that a luscious emerald has the same effect on my psyche as a nice long walk in the jungle.
This fantastic diamond and emerald cluster ring showcases an Emerald cut emerald which measures 11.3 x 7 x 4.5 mm and weighs approximately 2.46 carats. The emerald is surrounded with a rectangular frame of Old European Cut diamonds; ten diamonds of .15 carats each are interspersed with twenty smaller .02 carat stones for a total diamond weight of approximately 2 carats. The ring is beautifully hand crafted in platinum with a lovely scrolling gallery underneath, it has a wonderful smooth feel and a low profile. This ring measures 18.8 mm north to south and 14.4 mm across and it sits 5.6 mm off the finger. This ring has some marks but I wasn’t able to sort out what they were because they’re a bit worn, it was certainly made in about 1910 and is European in origin. The ring is a size 6.75 and weighs 5.8 grams.
We are happy to provide a full appraisal on this ring and it’s contents done by a GIA master gemologist upon request, please note that appraisals take a week to ten days to complete.

Vintage Diamond Bow Ring in 18k White Gold, French Retro 3.5+ctw
$ 9,550.00
Whenever I see a ring like this one, it really gets me to wondering. The stones in this ring are all old European cut diamonds, probably cut around 1880-1910, and yet this ring surely was made in the 1950s or 60s, so how did these diamonds end up here? What is their back story? Were they part of a Belle Époque brooch, links of a Victorian diamond bracelet, drops of an Edwardian necklace, a single fabulous earring whose mate was lost somewhere along the way? I guess in truth neither you nor I will ever truly know where they came from, what their previous life was. All we know for sure is that now they are here, in this fantastic ring, sparkling away as they've done for over a hundred years!
Handcrafted in France, this 18 karat white gold ring features a bedazzling array of diamonds, thirty-one old European cut round diamonds that add up to over 3.5 carats in all. The center stone is about .4 carats, six of the surrounding stones are about .15-.18 carats each and the other twenty-four weigh about .1-.12 carats each. The diamonds form a lovely knot or bow motif and are truly all sparkle, all of the time. This ring would be easy to resize, currently it is a size 8, and it weighs 8.3 grams. The ring is marked on the back of the band with the French eagle head mark, assayed in Paris and has also been acid tested to verify that it is indeed, 18 karat gold. The face of this ring measures 19.5 mm from north to south, and 19.5 mm across, it narrows to 2 mm at the back of the band.
Personally, I just adore old cut diamonds, so my heart did a little pitter-patter when I came across this beauty set with all these old cut gems. My own sneaking suspicion is that these diamonds started out life in a brooch and that some inheritee of said brooch decided to have it remade into this much more wearable and super stylie Retro cocktail ring!

Superb Vintage Art Deco Diamond and Platinum Ring, 1.15ctw
$ 9,240.00
Walking through the old diamond district in Antwerp is sublime torture. First you must pass the Del Rey chocolate shop. The chocolate at Del Rey is one of the true wonders of the world. I would bring some home for you, but there is really no point. It is so delicate that it must be eaten within a day, it is truly the most amazing thing I have ever put in my mouth, every piece is a little work of art, and the melting temperature is so perfect that in the time it takes to pick it up and put it in your mouth it begins to soften, the moment it hits your tongue it melts into sheer perfection. Honestly people, it's worth a visit for the chocolate alone. But it doesn't end there. If you make it past Del Rey, you'll be faced with an entire street of jewelry shops, one after another after another, some sell old jewelry, some new, some shop windows simply display gems, diamond in tiny clear boxes, or set on little plastic prongs, spinning away on mirrored turntables. All whilst the smell of chocolate and waffles floats on the air. A true cornucopia for the senses.
Luckily I know just the man to see, and me and my small (well, smallish, whaddya want?) bag of chocolate make our way about half way down the block to a yellow storefront with a green flag hanging out front, the sign above the door promises "Antieke Juwelen". Before I go in I check the four front windows to see if anything catches my eye. It doesn't take long for my eye to fall upon this ring. Oh, so sparkly under the halogen lights, this one was almost literally blinking at me. I admit it, I was caught in it's diamondy web.
Set in platinum (marked both PLAT an 950pt), two wonderfully bright old European mine cut diamonds twinkle and glow. They are equal in size, each is 4.6 mm across and 3.5 mm deep and weighs about .45 carats. They appear clean even with a 10x jewelers loupe and are bright white, drawing color equally from the full spectrum and sending out flashes of brilliance in all colors. The diamonds are surrounded by a modified fleur-de-lis motif and the ring is set with an additional .25 carats of old mine cut diamonds. The total diamond weight is about 1.15 carats. The ring weighs 4.4 grams.
Made in Europe, maybe even in Belgium, in about 1920, this utterly fabulous Art Deco ring would make a fantastic and unusual engagement or right hand ring. Oh, and it goes really well with chocolate, this much I know. Yum!

Georgian Pink Topaz Cross Pendant Brooch with Pearl and Turquoise
$ 8,800.00
The Georgian Era saw quite a few upheavals in fashion and culture in its 100 + year history. Topaz was a popular gemstone throughout the era, along with garnets, emeralds, rubies, pearls, and turquoise. Crosses and crucifixes were also in favor. Many gemstones were still foil-backed while Old Mine cut diamonds were just beginning to be open-backed. The end of this era saw intricate designs with metal smiths using twisted gold wire in foliate designs called cannetille work, this was a style choice made to make the piece pop with just one glance. This beautiful cross is an excellent example of this craftsmanship. Gemstones were worn by the upper echelons of society, and primarily by royalty. Ladies of the time would wear a suite of matching jewelry. If a lady was to wear this cross as a pendant, she’d likely have matching earrings with dangling pink topaz and a bracelet as well.
This Georgian antique gold cross pendant and brooch was handcrafted in England around 1820. This breathtaking piece showcases skillful gold smith work with six lively pink topaz stones accented with four turquoises and four creamy white pearls. This regal 15 karat gold cross measures 55.5 x 36 mm and it weighs 8.5 grams. It has been acid tested.
This breathtaking cross shows off goldsmith skills that can only be found in Georgian Era jewelry. It’s a collector’s piece and when worn, it has bragging rights.

Victorian Sapphire Diamond Cluster Ring
$ 8,600.00
Sapphires have been attributed to royalty since the beginning of written history. The color and rarity of the stone signified power and wealth. During the Middle Ages, sapphires were thought to be a divine stone, and shield the wearer from harm and disease.

This influenced jewelry and fashion design during the Victorian Era, as most things the Queen did, did.

She didn’t see it coming, the flute of bubbly had sat on the table for nearly 20 minutes before she took a sip and realized what was going on. He laughed at her reaction, that grin on her face that grew, how her eyes lit up brighter than the crystal chandelier on the ceiling. When he bent down on one knee and asked if she would marry him, her hands flew to her open jaw, and she squealed in delight as she said yes and kissed his lips. He slipped the ring on her finger and she gasped at the diamonds as they glistened and sparkled.

Antique Victorian 5 Stone Diamond Ring 18k Gold
Sold Out - $ 8,500.00
Old cut diamonds can be dangerous. The more of them you see, the more of them you desire to own. Whereas modern brilliant cut diamonds can be nice and sparkly, old European cuts like these are more like individual works of art. Stones like these were hand cut by craftsmen who spent decades learning their craft. These cutters used no computers, no lasers, they used their eyes, their experience and their hands, often cutting with tools they had made themselves. The result is a diamond with a uniqueness of character that simply cannot be found in todays modern cut stones. This ring showcases five old European cut diamonds with large cut facets that cause it to flash with slow and stunning sparks of colorful fire.
This beautifully hand crafted 5 stone diamond ring is set with a stunning array of sparkling gems. The five larger stones are all old European cut diamonds, the center weighs approximately .75 carats and the close sides are about .45 carats each, the outside two are approximately .2 carats each. In between each larger diamond are rose cut diamonds to give the ring the look of a solid line of sparkling diamond. The diamond weight on this ring totals approximately 2.1 carats. This ring measures 5.7 mm north to south and 20 mm across, it sits 4.4 mm off the finger. This ring is a size 4.75 and weighs 3.1 grams. The ring is made of 18 karat gold and bears no hallmarks, it has been acid tested to verify the gold content.
This gorgeous ring was most likely made in England around 1890.

Antique Victorian 1.2ct Diamond Belcher Set Engagement Ring
$ 8,450.00
They were in the basement of a wine shop down a narrow alley-way in Paris. It was nearing midnight as they tasted their third glass of wine, this one from the French Auvergne region. Her cheeks were rosy and his eyes were all over her, her dark blonde hair, scattered freckles, and adorably wide grin. They talked about the wine, pretending to know anything about it, using words like lacing, woody, and unctuous. They were celebrating one year of being together and thought that touring The City of Lights sounded delicious and decadent. She was telling him a story about getting lost in Paris when she visited years back. He was listening intently as he pulled a small red ring box from his jacket pocket. She slowly stopped speaking, letting her sentence end in the middle, as speechlessness took her over. She watched him open the box and then he said, “I want to marry you. Will you do me the honor?” Her eyes dashed back and forth between his blue irises, blissful. She said yes so loudly the manager came down to make sure they were all right. He slid the ring on her finger, as she gazed at it in utter amazement. Their host brought them a complimentary bottle, this one from the Alsace region. A little while later, the newly engaged couple walked to their hotel room, hand in hand, cheek to cheek, watching as her ring captured and reflected every light in the city.

Antique 50 inch Long Guard Chain Necklace in 18k Gold with Fancy Links
$ 8,250.00
Banking is a relatively new idea. Before the 19th century most people wore their wealth. The original idea of the chain, for example, was that you could pay for something by taking a link off of your chain, be it gold or silver. Precious metal has always equalled money, it was a good idea then and it remains a good idea today. Now, I wouldn't recommend paying for your Moët with a link off of this gorgeous French chain, but I suppose you could if you had to!
Honestly, everyone really needs to own one of these long gold chains. Preferable two or three, if you can swing it, but if you're limited to one, this one is a particularly good place to start. Intricate, glowing links with the feel of soft silk that only old gold seems to achieve. This chain is completely hand made of large fancy links with a round links between teardrop links framed with intermittent small plain links. Each link is individually hand soldered and the chain has a matching large round spring ring clasp which attaches to both ends and would originally have been used to hang a watch. The chain is 50 inches long and tests as 18 karat gold. This chain was likely made around 1900. The chain weighs 46.9 grams.
These chains are getting harder and harder to come by as many were broken up into several shorter lengths over time. It's always a treat when I find an original old long guard like this one!

$ 8,200.00
They called it 'La Belle Époque', translated as ‘the Beautiful Era’, and it's as well they should have.

The ring is 18 karat gold in the back and the top stones are all set in platinum, this kind of 18 karat and platinum construction is very typical of the Belle Époque (which corresponds to the English Edwardian Era), as jewelers didn't really start using all platinum construction until the 1920's (with some exceptions).

Retro Emerald Diamond Earrings
$ 7,850.00
Sometimes when I arrive at the stall of one of my fabulous vendors there might already be someone else there working with them. I try to be patient, it’s not usually that hard, I just drink my coffee and peruse the cases, making a mental list of the things I want to see when it’s my turn. Sometimes, though, I get a bit anxious, because the person who was there before me is hemming and hawing over a piece that I know without a doubt that I want for myself. Such was the case with these earrings. I tried very hard not to stare as she held them up to the light and watched them sparkle and shine, but it was pretty much impossible, I was mesmerized. When she gave them back, thanked my friend and said ‘I’ll think about it’ as she walked away my heart just danced a little jig. ‘Oh yes’, I thought, ‘you will be mine!’.
Hand crafted in about 1950 in the Retro style, these emerald and diamond beauties are just simply stunning. These earrings are set with two rectangular emeralds which weigh approximately .8 carats total and encrusted in 96 sparkling round diamonds which add up to about 5 carats total weight.

Vintage Old European Cut Diamond Eternity Band Ring Sz 9.25
$ 7,800.00
Caution: Old Cut diamonds are addictive. Each one is a little bit different from the other, each stone was mapped out in the mind of a master in stone cutting, each one was cut and polished carefully by hand. These stones each have their own character and it gives a ring like this one the overall appearance of a work of art, with the slow, lazy strong flashes of color and light that only old cuts can offer. Even those who don’t know the difference will be able to see right away that these are no ordinary stones, this no ordinary ring.
This vintage ring was hand crafted in 18 karat white gold around 1920. It is set with 18 old European cut diamonds and two brilliant cut diamonds which were added later when the ring was re-sized.

This ring is a size 9.25 but as it’s been resized up it could probably be resized down. This ring is marked with an owl, the French import mark for a gold fineness of 18 karat minimum, it weighs 4.6 grams.
This gorgeous ring would make an excellent wedding band, or addition to a ring stack. It’s got big, juicy diamonds and a lot of presence.

This luminous ring draws the eye like a moth to a flame. Set with over 3.6 carats of pillowy old European cushion cut diamonds which were handcut before 1900.

This ring measures 3.3 mm wide and is about 3 mm thick. It is a size 7 US and it would be difficult to re-size, it may be able to go up or down by about 1 diamond width. It weighs 3.8 grams, it has the remnant of what looks like a French mark and I did purchase it in France, it’s been acid tested to verify the content. This ring comes with an appraisal done by an independent GIA gemologist and the full replacement value is $8,500.

Stunning Antique Edwardian Fire Opal and Diamond Ring
$ 7,280.00
I was reading an article the other day reported on studies done in Finland which show that love and happiness make you physically warm. If that's true, then just think of all the money you'll save on heat with this fabulous Fire Opal on your finger to keep you happy. I freely admit to being just a little bit in love with this fiery beauty. Yup, warm all over!
This Edwardian stunner was hand-crafted in 18 karat gold with diamonds set in sterling silver. The Fire Opal is an oval faceted natural gem which measures 9.7 mm from North to South and 8.2 mm across and is 6 mm deep; its approximate weight is 2 carats. The stone is very clean and clear for a fire opal with some very tiny surface abrasions only visible under magnification. The rich candy-orange kissed with red opal is complemented by its contrasting halo of old European cut diamonds. The 12 diamonds measure on average 3 mm across and 2 mm deep and weigh .15 carats, for about 1.5 carats of total diamond weight. The diamonds are very bright, white and well color matched; they are clean stones with small to medium sized culets. The ring is currently a size 7.25 but could be resized up or down to suit by a skilled jeweler, it weighs 3.5 grams. The ring is unmarked but has been carefully acid tested to verify content.

Vintage 14k White Gold 1.26 carat Cushion Cut Diamond Solitaire Engagement Ring
$ 7,250.00
Very nicely done, you. You braved the wild world of engagement ring shopping and now, here, after all that searching, you've finally found it. The perfect ring.
I found this lovely and enchanting diamond wallowing away in a very ugly brooch from the 70's. This fabulous stone deserved better, so I searched high and low until I found it. The perfect mount, 14 karat white gold, simple, hand pierced, classical scrolling design. The mount was stoneless, the diamond ringless, so I married them together to create the perfect recycled ring. The diamond is a symphony of light and color. An old European Cushion cut stone (cut around 1870-1880, I suspect) which weighs 1.26 carats out of the mount. I haven't had it graded, but it is a very, very clean and white stone. The facets are large and hand cut, creating a stone which sends off huge flashes of light in all colors of the spectrum. The mount is not too high, but holds the stone up high enough to allow tons of light to enter the stone for maximum effect. Made around 1920, it is currently a size 8.25, but can easily be sized. I had the jeweler re-tip the prongs when setting the stone so that it is very secure.
Even the most subtle movement will draw the eye to this luminous ring. Congratulations, your search is over. First you found the lady, now you've found the ring!
