Antique Pre-Revolutionary Russian 3ct Sapphire and Diamond Bracelet in 14k Gold and Platinum
$ 45,000.00
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!

Fantastic Art Deco Sapphire Diamond Ring in Platinum
$ 38,500.00
Some pieces I buy on a pure, girly, bubble gum, princess fantasy level. Because, let’s face it, sometimes a girl just needs something sparkly and fabulous to get her through the day. Dropping off the kids, picking up the kids, doing load after load of laundry, feeding the dog (because does anyone else remember to feed the dog?); these things are all made a little bit easier when a girl’s got a good manicure and a ring like this on her finger. It’s equally excellent for romantic dates with the hubs, cocktails on Thirsty Thursday with the ladies, and if you’re so inclined, this one would be quite at home at the Academy Ball, dancing through the halls of the Bellevue in a frosty ball gown.
This early Art Deco beauty was hand crafted in platinum in about 1915. The star of the show is a gorgeous sugarloaf cut of velvety sapphire in the most amazing bright blue hue. This rich, gorgeous stone has been graded by AGL as a natural, unheated stone which is Cambodian in origin and weighs approximately 6.35 carats. The sapphire is surrounded by 48 mine cut and early single cut diamonds of E-G color and VS1-I1 clarity which add up to 1.3 carats in total weight, stones that wink and sparkle with every move you make. The ring is a size 8.25 and could be sized to suit. It weighs 7.8 grams.
Not a simple bauble, but a once-in-a-lifetime, you’ve-been-a-very-good-girl kind of ring. This ring comes with an AGL certification on the stone and a full appraisal by a GIA Master Gemologist. The insurance replacement value of this ring is $45,000 USD.

Edwardian 1.6 carat Square Mine Cut Diamond Ring Antique Engagement Ring
$ 16,500.00
He told her to pack a bag for 3 nights away but wouldn’t tell her where they were going. He flew her over Manchester and Liverpool and out over the Irish Sea, over Dublin and the lush green of the Irish countryside, tinged with a hint of fall color. They landed in Galway and were whisked away by limo and brought across the moat to the gates of Ashford Castle. She sat by a roaring fire and drank a warm rum cocktail smiling to herself. It was just like him, this kind of grand romantic gesture. She didn’t mind, not one little bit.
He handed her a pair of Wellies and a warm coat from a rack by the door and together they wandered into the back garden and along the trails. They went through a stone tunnel and exited into a Secret Victorian Garden laden with the smell of late blooming roses and the buzzing of lazy bees. He slipped an arm around her and stopping, he pulled her into his arms.
“Marry me?” he asked, looking directly into her eyes.
“Of course”. She smiled as he slipped the sparkling diamond onto her finger.
This stunning ring centers on a 1.6 carat square Old Mine Cut diamond that delights and fascinates the eye. The ring was made in the later part of the Edwardian era in about 1918. It is completely hand crafted in platinum and the large diamond is flanked on the either side by seven early single cut diamonds. The center stone measures 6.8x6.7x5.35 mm and has been out and weighed at 1.60 carats, it is K in color and VS1 in clarity. The 14 smaller stones are 1.2 mm each and add up to .14 carats total weight. The ring is a size 7 and weighs 5.12 grams. The face of the ring is 7.7 mm north to south and sits 5.6 mm off the finger, it narrows to 2.1 mm wide at the back of the band, it is marked ‘PLAT’ for platinum. This wonderful hand crafted ring would make a stunning engagement ring. It comes in an antique box made from navy leather with a silk lining.
You don’t have to take her to Ireland, you can just ask her in the living room on a Saturday morning. Just to be on the safe side, though, better have a ring like this one.

Georgian Untreated Emerald Diamond Ring c. 1720

When this ring was made, the United States of America was called ‘The Colonies’ and was ruled by the British Empire. They weren’t the only ones, the British Empire extended to the ends of the globe.

We humans only live one lifetime, maybe one hundred years if we’re very lucky, but jewels like this one get to travel through multiple lives, and we can only imagine what tales this ring could tell of the three hundred or so years since its creation.

The center stone is a stunning natural rectangular cushion shaped emerald, it’s a medium, vivid and strongly green stone that is likely to be untreated in any way. The emerald measures 9.2x7.7x4.7(?) mm and weighs approximately 2.02 carats. The emerald is surrounded by eight (8) table cut diamonds which add up to about .66 carats and 6 old mine cut diamonds which add up to about .56 carats for a total weight in diamonds of about 1.22 carats.
The face of this ring measures 17.9 mm north to south and 15.7 mm across, it sits 5.4 mm off the finger and narrows to 3.5 mm at the back of the band. It has been carefully acid tested as 18 karat gold and sterling silver, it weighs 5.3 grams and is a size 8.

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.

Classic Edwardian Diamond Engagement Ring in Platinum
$ 12,500.00
Some pieces I buy on a pure, girly, bubble gum, princess fantasy level. Because, let’s face it, sometimes a girl just needs something sparkly and fabulous ring to get her through the day. Homeschooling the kids, washing dishes (all. day. long.), doing load after load of laundry, feeding the dog (does anyone else ever remember to feed the dog?), they are all made a little bit easier when a girl’s got a good home manicure and a ring like this on her finger. It’s equally excellent for romantic dates with the hubs (in the back yard) or cocktails on Thirsty Thursday with the ladies (on Zoom).
This Edwardian beauty was hand crafted in platinum in about 1915. The sparkling centerpiece of this perfect Engagement ring is an Old European Mine Cut Diamond of 1.01 carats (weighed loose). The stone is estimated as G-H in color and VS1 in clarity. This ring measures 6.2 mm north to south at the widest point and narrows to 1.2 mm at the back of the band. The diamond is flanked by 8 singer cut diamonds, (F-G/VS1-2) which graduate in size between 1-1.7 mm. This size 6.25 ring weighs 2.1 grams, it could be re-sized to suit.

Edwardian Diamond Aquamarine Bow Necklace Platinum c. 1910
$ 12,500.00
The last decade of the nineteenth century, the fin de siècle, was a time when the rejection of machine-made jewelry that had once been welcomed as an innovation, caused an about face in fashion and design. Jewelry went from large and ostentatious to ethereal and delicate almost overnight. Employing what was to become known as the “garland” style or 'style guirlande' in France, jewelers who chose not to embrace Art Nouveau or Arts and Crafts styles borrowed the fluidity of their lines and incorporated them into more traditional motifs thereby creating Edwardian jewelry. The “new” designs of the Edwardian Era had their roots firmly planted in eighteenth-century jewelry. The Court of Versailles was the inspiration for customers who desired more classically and aristocratically styled jewels. Ornamental motifs from earlier centuries were available through pictorial records from pattern books which began circulating freely beginning in the 1850s. In particular, Cartier encouraged his designers to wander the streets of Paris looking at seventeenth and eighteenth century architecture for jewelry inspiration. Garlands and ribbons, laurel wreaths, bow knots, tassels and lace were rendered with a new lightness thanks to new advances made in platinum fabrication.
Here is a fine example the garland style. An antique Edwardian garland-style diamond and aquamarine Platinum Bow Necklace that I discovered on my last trip to Paris. This pendant has a rich and lively faceted tear drop aquamarine that is approximately 11.58 carats is size and measures about 21.2 x 113 x 8.58 mm. The platinum bow is embedded with 29 lovely sparkling rose cut diamonds each 1.6-1.8 mm in diameter, .26 carats in all. As if that was not enough, there is one larger full cut old European diamond above the bow, a sparkly round gem which weighs approximately 0.16 carats. This stunning necklace was hand crafted around 1910, mostly likely in Paris. The chain is 16 inches long and the pendant and chain together weighs 9.9 grams. The overall measurement of the bow is 35 mm wide, it's 35.5 mm from the top of the bow to bottom of aquamarine and 52 mm from the top diamond to the bottom of bow.
This pendant has been professionally appraised by a 3rd party antique jewelry appraiser, it has a replacement value of $16,500.00. Full appraisal available upon request.

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.

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.

He went into the market to grab a bottle of wine, but the sun was setting and the electric lamps on the Champs-Elysées glowed yellow against a cherry-pink sky; so she said she’d wait for him outside.

Late Victorian 5 Sapphire Diamond Ring 18k Gold
$ 9,980.00
We drove the five hours to the Lake house in one go, the beauty of a hybrid and careful beverage planning. It was dark on the back roads and darker still when we pulled off the gravel in front of the cabin. When we stepped out of the car, I gasped; the stars in the moonless night sky seemed close enough to grab and pull down to play with. We walked in the dark to the lake and watched the reflections of billions of stars dancing on the surface and twinkling overhead. This ring reminds me of that night, that rich blue sky reflected in the lake, the pop of diamonds like stars in the night sky.
This late Victorian ring was hand crafted around 1880, likely in England. The ring is crafted of 18 karat yellow gold and set with five rich blue sapphires.

Vintage Diamond Bow Ring in 18k White Gold, French Retro 3.5+ctw
$ 9,880.00
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 4.75, 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!
I offer layaway on most items purchased for full retail price. In general my layaway terms are 1/3 down and 1/3 in 30 days and the last 1/3 in 60 days.

Antique French Emerald Diamond Marquis Ring 18k Gold
$ 9,850.00
Somehow I always feel like Joan Wilder when I wear emeralds. Remember Joan? She was the character played by Kathleen Turner in that classic 80s movie ‘Romancing the Stone’. I feel like maybe when Joan got back from her adventures in the jungle she would have taken some of her book earnings and bought herself some emeralds. Fabulous ones, like this one; just to remind herself of Jack Colton and swinging through the jungle with her arms wrapped tightly around him.
This fantastic ring is French and definitely has that ‘ooh-la-la’ factor. In spades. It’s set with a lozenge cut emerald at its center in the most intriguing shade of deep rainforest green. The stone measures 9 x 6.7 x 3.8 mm and weighs approximately 1.25 carats. It doesn’t stop there, though, as this lively and unusually cut emerald is supported by a cast of 50 diamonds. The diamonds are a mixture of 18 rose cuts and 32 Old European cuts, some of which are Mazarin cuts. The diamond add up to about 2.25 carats total weight and are bright white and very sparkly. The face of this lovely, long ring measures 25.3 mm from north to south and 16 mm across, it sits 6.7 mm off the finger and narrows to 2.2 mm wide at the back of the band. The ring is a size 6.25 and weighs 4.7 grams.
This fantastic ring was hand crafted in France around 1880 and has a owl mark on the back of the band. It has been carefully acid tested and is fully crafted in 18 karat gold.

Vintage Emerald Diamond Double Halo Ring 18k Gold
$ 9,800.00
I have funny dreams sometimes. Once I dreamed I was in the V&A (the Victoria and Albert Museum in London) at night. No one was there and I wandered the halls and galleries in my pajamas, at my leisure. When I came to the jewelry hall, poof, like Cinderella, I found myself in a flowing ball gown, and all the cases that held the jewels were open, I could take and wear whatever I liked. Is it any wonder that I went directly to the Seringapatam Jewels? The ornate parure of emeralds and diamonds is set with the most gorgeous emeralds. The stones were given as a reward to Major-General George Harris following a Victory at the Battle of Seringapatam in India in 1799. Dressed to the nines, and for some reason, shoeless, I flitted through the rest of the museum, dancing with statues and marveling at Monet’s.
This fantastic ring would have fit in perfectly in my dream. Set with a gorgeous (trust me, the photos don’t do it justice, emerald is one of the most difficult stones to photograph!) oval faceted emerald, which is surrounded by two halos of sparkling brilliant cut diamonds. The emerald weighs approximately 1.41 carats and the 36 diamonds add up to about .84 carats. The face of the ring measures 18 mm north to south and 15.3 mm across, it sits 6.2 mm off the finger and narrows to 2.9 mm at the back of the band. This ring is marked with the French Owl mark and has been carefully acid tested as 18 karat gold. The ring is a size 7 and weighs 5.8 grams. Hand crafted in about 1950.
This fabulous cocktail ring comes with a full appraisal done by an accredited antique jewelry master gemologist. The full replacement value is $17,900.

Spectacular Victorian 3 Stone Diamond Ring 18k Gold 2cttw
$ 9,500.00
Sunday mornings in London always have a low key vibe. The streets are quiet until noon and people are out and about in trainers and jumpers (that’s British for sneakers and sweaters) in places you usually see suits and ties. It’s one of my favorite days. The Sunday market doesn’t even start until 10 and so I get to sleep in and still have time to pop around the corner for croissants and coffee. The Sunday market, the Horti, as they call it, is held in a Georgian era building with a glass domed roof, this Sunday it’s bright and sunny and the vendors laid out in row upon row hold untold treasure to be found. This ring was my first treasure that day, it beamed up out of the case, caught on an English sunbeam.
This fantastic ring was hand crafted in England around 1880, it is set with three old European Cushion cut diamonds which are a symphony of light and color. The center stone measures 5.1x5.1x3.5 mm and weighs about .7 carats, the other two stones are similar in size, 5x5x3.15 mm and weigh about .6 carats each, there are also 6 rose cut diamonds set between the three main stones. The total weight in diamonds of the ring is just under 2 carats of diamonds. The face of this ring measures 6.4 mm north to south and 17.3 mm across, it sits 4.5 mm off the finger and narrows to 2.2 mm at the back of the band. This unmarked ring tests as 18 karat gold and is a size 6.5, it weighs 4.8 grams.
Even the most subtle movement will draw the eye to this luminous ring. Congratulations, your search is over; you found the perfect ring!

Vintage Impressionist Diamond Moonstone Ring Pendant 18k Gold French Designer
$ 8,980.00
Here’s the downside to selling my jewels online, you don’t actually get to feel them, hold them and get a gorgeous look at them on your person. It’s especially true with certain things, a long gold chain that feels like pure luxury on a platter, or a ring like this one, made with such exquisite quality that you can just feel the artist radiating out of it. This piece is the epitome of wearable art.
Set with an oval cabochon of moonstone and a diamond, this stunning jewel is both a ring and a pendant, a highly unusual combination. To my eye it’s a stylized rooster, but I could be wrong. The gold is solid, and heavy and has that sublime heavy velvety feel of old 18 karat gold. This piece is likely by someone quite famous, but I’ve not had any luck tracking it down, if you know, please feel free to enlighten me, I’d love to know. The ring is a size 7.75 and cannot be resized, as a pendant it’s 37.5 mm north to south and 21.2 mm across. The moonstone has wonderful adularescence and measures 10.8x8.3x6.6 and weighs about 4.25 carats. The little diamond is a round brilliant cut. I don’t know the actual age of this piece, but my best guess is the 1930s, it has that feel, it also has French hallmarks and makers mark which indicate the 18 karat gold content. This extraordinary piece weighs 21.8 grams.

Late Victorian Gemstone Diamond Bracelet 18k Gold Tourmaline Aquamarine
$ 8,950.00
I used to think that diamonds and fancy gems were a weekends-only, little black dress sort of affair, but lately I’ve taken much more of a “smoke ‘em if you got ‘em” approach to my jewels. Sparkles are fun when I’m drinking a margarita on a Tuesday with the hubs in my back yard. Don’t judge, ya’ll, it’s taco day and what goes better with tacos? This bracelet has become a particular favorite for our Tuesday night parties for two, there’s something about the colors and the sparkle that gives our deck party the feel of an elegant soiree, and playing hostess for only two means a lot less clean up!
This elegant late Victorian bracelet was hand made around 1900. It is set with three rectangular cushion cut gems, a bright blue aquamarine and a sparkling pink and green tourmaline. Each gem is surrounded by a halo of Old Mine Cut diamonds, 58 in all. The aqua in this bracelet weighs about 1.47 carats, the pink tourmaline about 1.91 carats and the green tourmaline gem weighs about 1.71 carats. The diamonds add up to about 1.51 carats in all. The bracelet is done in 18 karat gold and is 195 mm long and 12 mm wide at the widest part, the chain is 5 mm wide. The yellow gold link bracelet has a nautical knot openwork link and a slide tab tension clasp. This bracelet is unmarked and has been carefully acid tested, it weighs 14.8 grams.

Fabulous French Antique 18k Gold Long Guard Chain 63 inches
$ 8,900.00
I admit it, I love gold. In all it's forms, but most especially in long French chains like this one. It is the perfect medium for the art of the chain, and this chain's exquisite French craftsmanship truly best exemplifies it's intrinsic beauty.
Intricately hand made in luxurious 18 karat gold, this French long guard chain features alternating links of marquis plaques with fancy wire work centers, each connected to one another by fancy chain links in between. Imagining how long it must have taken to make a chain like by hand in the late 1800's simply boggles the mind! Made in France around 1890, it bears multiple eagles head assay marks for 18k gold. This is an open chain with a large bolt ring on one side and a small bolt ring on the other for maximum versatility. I think this one was made this way as both clasps do seem original. It is 63 inches long and weighs a hefty 52.8 grams.
Long enough to wear as a single, double or triple loop, this chain is just stunning. These more intricate chains are getting harder for me to come by as many times they are broken up into several shorter necklaces, and even more tragically, melted for their gold value. (I assure you though, this one is safe from such a fate.) A perfect compliment to any outfit, and a great addition to any collection of antique and vintage jewelry, this fabulous French long guard chain is truly, truly lovely treasure!

They arrived at the party by boat, they saw it at first like small fairy lights glimmering in the distance, but as they got close the sounds of music and laughter twirled out at them across the water in bits, getting louder and clearer as the lights grew into lavish lawns littered with sparkling party goers. As the boat cut its engines and they drifted towards the dock, he grinned and reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a gem that sparkled brighter than all the party lights around them. She grinned back, held up her hair and turned for him to clasp it on. He had promised her a night to remember; this was a darn good start.

Antique Russian Red Spinel Diamond Cluster Ring 14k Gold
Sold Out - $ 8,750.00
King Henry V is pretty well known for winning the battle of Agincourt. “Once more unto the breach, Dear Friends”, ring a bell? Well, on one of my many trips to visit my friends the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London, I engaged a beefeater guard in lively discourse. He told me that the Black Prince’s Ruby was really a Spinel (which, of course, I already knew).
“Oh, really,”, I replied, trying to coax more information from him.
“And do you know why it’s set with a ruby?”, now he had me, that I did not know.
The guard proceeded to tell me a story I’d never heard, about how that same King, Henry V, had the spinel drilled through the center so that he could wear it like a bead on a cord, for luck during the fighting in France. He told me of how the stone was lost during the great battle and of how the King sent his entire army back to the battlefield to look for it. It took 3 weeks for them to find it, under a dead French soldier.
This spinel likely never spent 3 weeks under a dead Frenchman, but it has that same rich, dark, look and luster of the famous stone in the Crown Jewels. It is surrounded by a halo of fabulously bright old European cut diamonds which set the spinel to singing with a fiery glow. The rectangular, cushion cut spinel is a natural stone which measures 8.92 x 7.14 x 5.51 mm and weighs approximately 2.78 carats. It is surrounded by a ring of 12 old Mine cut diamonds which are 0.073-0.092 carats each and weigh about .98 carats in total and the shoulders are each set with a single cut diamond of .03 carats.
This ring was hand crafted in about 1880, most likely in Russia. It has hallmarks to the back of the band which are too worn to totally make out, but under a microscope I find them to be closest to Russian marks. Also, the ring tests as 14 karat gold, which is consistent with Russian jewelry at the time. The face of this ring measures 13.9 mm north to south and 6.6 mm wide and it sits 6 mm off the finger. This ring is a size 7.75 and weighs 3.4 grams, it could be resized to suit.
This ring has been appraised and graded by a GIA Graduate Gemologist who specializes in Antique and Estate jewelry, it has a replacement value of $13,500 USD. Please inquire if you’d like a full copy of the appraisal for review.

Edwardian Old European Cut Diamond Engagement Ring
$ 8,500.00
Was it traditional? Or was it spontaneous? The way he sunk the ring in a glass of pink champagne at the restaurant, where they had their first date. 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.
This breathtaking antique diamond marquis-shaped ring was handcrafted around 1910. Each of the 27 white diamonds are set in platinum, while the shank is made in 14 karat gold. The center diamond is a sight to behold, it’s a cushion cut that totals .5 carats! There are two more larger diamonds, one on top, and one below the center, that total .26 carats together. Every diamond radiates the colors of the rainbow, making your finger the luckiest of them all. The face measures 22 x 18 x 4.7 mm off the finger. This ring is a size 9 and weighs 4.0 grams. It is hallmarked with the gold purity mark, ‘585’.
I swear this ring glitters in the dark.

Edwardian Diamond Sapphire Target Ring 1.2 cttw
$ 8,200.00
They called it 'La Belle Époque', translated as ‘the Beautiful Era’, and it's as well they should have. From about 1871 to the beginning of World War I in 1914, peace and prosperity flourished throughout Europe and especially settled in France and England. The arts flourished, money flew, it was truly a golden age. This ring was made then, there, in that Paris of the early 20th century, amidst that optimism, that joie de vivre!
Completely hand crafted by a master of the art, this ring is a modified target type ring, set with row upon alternating row of glittering white diamonds and rich blue sapphires. The 17 diamonds add up to about 1.2 carats in total and the two rings of calibre cut sapphire are about .7 carats total. 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). This ring has a fairly worn hallmark, but it is the eagles head assay mark which tells us that it is French and contains 18k gold. The ring is currently a size 7 and measures 20 mm north to south and 14.5 mm across, it sits 5 mm off the finger and narrows to 1.3 mm at the back of the band. Made in Paris, France around 1910.
This beautiful ring from the beautiful era would make a precious gift for any occasion or a stunning right hand ring that could be worn from blue-jeans to ball gowns!

Victorian 5 Stone Diamond Ring in 18k Gold
$ 7,980.00
Bill Bryson once said that the weather forecast in London was always the same, that every day was "warm and sunny, but cooler with some rain." I never forgot this because it is just so, so true! On my last trip to London it rained every day, usually 3 to 4 times per day, but in between these cold spats of rain the sun came out and brought a wonderful warmth along with it. I was sitting around the kitchen table of one of my good suppliers, in a top floor Georgian apartment in Kensington, when the sun broke through the clouds and streamed in the tall windows, into the old wavy glass. This ring was in my hand. The sun hit the diamonds and sent rainbows of color flying around the room, the diamonds sparkled like captured sunlight. Oh, my yes.
Hand made in about 1890, this fantastically sparkly Victorian ring is set with five bright white diamonds. These lovely stones are amazingly bright and lively in any light. The five diamonds are chunky old cushion cut stones, the center stone measures 5x5x2.6 mmm and weighs approximately .5 carats, on either side are two diamonds of .4 carats and two of .25 carats each, for a total diamond weight of about 1.8 carats. The face of this ring measures 5.5 mm north to south and 19 mm across, and sits 3.8 mm off the finger, it narrows to 2.4 mm at the back of the band. The size 7.5 ring weighs 3.7 grams.
This is a simply stunning Victorian ring, like wearing a ray of sunlight right on your finger!

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. Each diamond weighs approximately .2 carats and the total carat weight of this ring is about 3.5 carats. The ring measures 3.9 mm north to south and sits 3 mm off the finger. 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.
