French Moonstone Brown Pearl Cluster Ring
$ 1,000.00
This ring was a bit of a mystery, but I think I’ve got it solved! It’s a beauty, set in the center with a 1 carat bright moonstone with great adularescence and a lovely blue hue; around the cabochon center stone are set with 8 pearls in shades of brown and gray, they are 2.7 mm in diameter. The top of this ring is made in 18 karat gold and the split shank is in 14 karat gold. I believe that this ring started life off as something else, most likely a stick pin or part of a brooch, made in about 1880, but it has been more recently made over as a ring. The ring is lovely and well made, it measures 11 mm north to south and 11 mm across, it sits 8 mm off the finger and narrows to 3 mm at the back of the band. This ring is a size 5.5 and weighs 5 grams. It’s marked with the French export mark of the shell and has been carefully acid tested.

Opal Diamond Gold Ring 3 Stone
$ 850.00
I was wandering New Bond Street, with an Everbean coffee in hand, and frosted gluten free coffee cake in the other. I was enjoying the early morning briskness as I waltzed in to one of my favorite hidden gems of an antique store. After trying on too many tweed jackets from the 70’s, and shopping the shoe section for far too long (the brown leather go-go boots were to die for), the owner pulled out a silk drawstring bag. Between your basic gold bands, a silver bauble or two, and a few loose garnets, was this stunner. I slipped it on and wore it for the next week. I had to test it out before selling it to you, I am a professional, after all.
This antique Edwardian ring was handcrafted in England around 1910. It showcases a lively display of three opals patterned with four diamonds set in 18 karat gold. Each of the opals are cabochon cut, with the center stone measuring 5.3 x 4.3 x 1.5 mm. The diamonds are each rose cuts and measure about 1 mm in diameter. The ring face measures 7.6 x 16 x 3.5 mm off the finger and the band with is 1.7 mm at the back. It weighs 2.4 grams and is a size 6.75. It bears the gold purity mark, “18” and the anchor mark indicating it was made in Birmingham, England.
Opal ring goes great with coffee, lunch dates, occasions with frilly dresses, and of course, simple white fitted t-shirts topped off with a smile.

Stunning Antique Edwardian Fire Opal and Diamond Ring
$ 6,850.00
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. Made in Europe in about 1910.
Why this ring? Because... baby, it's cold outside!

Art Deco Diamond Ring 18k Gold and Platinum
$ 5,200.00
It was a beautiful sort of day, with bright sun and green grass. She stepped out for the day, to meet him in the park for lunch. She wore an olive shift dress with bobbed hair and a decorated headband, fitting for a summertime afternoon. Her lips were done in a cupid’s bow, applied with cherry lipstick. He was already there, dressed handsomely, as always, in his suit jacket and trilby hat. He smiled at her as the sun’s rays stretched across his face, illuminating his blue eyes. He stood beneath a willow tree, and watched as she approached. He had planned on waiting until after their picnic but he decided that right now was the time, so he bent down on one knee. Her hands flew to her cheeks in surprise, as he asked for her hand with this dazzling diamond ring.
This stunning vintage diamond ring features 23 sparkling diamonds totaling 1.4 carats. It was handcrafted in the early 1920s in 18 karat gold with engraved flowers on the shoulders. The diamonds are platinum set and reflect every color of the rainbow, allowing your finger to be the star of every room. The old European marquise cut diamond is 6.8 x 4.2mm and weighs about .28 carats. The marquise is enhanced by old cut round diamonds, which are accented by smaller full and single-cut diamonds. All of the diamonds have nice color and clarity, with a 10x loupe. The face is a pretty oblong shape which measures 26 mm north to south and 15.9 across and sits 5.9 mm off the finger. There are no marks, and it has been acid tested. This ring is a size 6.5 and weighs 7.8 grams.
I cannot get over the sparkle this ring holds. I took it outside just the other day, so I could attempt to capture the glitter with a camera. This ring would make a unique engagement ring and an instant heirloom!

Platinum Diamond Moonstone Heart and Bow Pendant Necklace
$ 6,500.00
Do you remember that poem, the one about the owl and the pussycat who fall in love and run off to get married? It’s an unlikely pair, an owl and cat, but as they say, love is blind. At the end of the poem they walk hand in hand through the sand and dance by the light of the moon (‘the moon, the moon, and they danced by the light of the moon’). This pendant makes me want to dance by the light of the moon, or the moonstone as it were.
Hand crafted in the Garland era in about 1910, this wonderful necklace features a scrolling ribbon and bow top and moonstone and diamond drop on a chain of platinum. The pendant is 15k backed and platinum topped and set with a heart shaped cabochon moonstone which measures 10.5x9.2x5.6 mm and weighs about 2.24 carats. The heart is set into a halo of 35 rose cut diamonds, there are 3 more diamonds on the bow and another 34 on the ribbon for 72 1-2 mm rose cuts in all. This necklace is unmarked but has been acid tested as 15 karat gold and platinum, the chain is 17.5 inches long and the drop is 35 mm long and 35 mm across at the top.
A necklace of which Edward Lear would approve, I’m sure.

Art Deco Blue Sapphire Diamond 3 Stone Ring
$ 7,250.00
Sunlight streamed through the curtains and landed on the couch where they sat. It was early in the morning and their coffee was still brewing. They read the newspaper together and silently switched sections, without words. When he handed her the business section she found a note taped to the top of the page. In black sharpie it read, “Marry me?” She looked over at him. He held out a ring with sapphires and diamonds, glowing in the morning light, and he raised an eyebrow. She nodded her head yes, quiet with happiness and shock, as he slipped the ring on her finger.

Antique Arts and Crafts Amethyst Blister Pearl Silver Pendant by William Hair Haseler
$ 1,350.00
If you read many of my musings, then you probably already know that my favorite things to do on my days off in London are to visit my friends, The Crown Jewels, at the Tower of London and to go to Liberty’s Department Store for a champagne tea. Liberty’s sometimes feels like a museum to me, it’s gorgeous architecture and smooth, beautifully carved dark timbered woodwork are unchanged since the building was built in 1924. If you saw it, you might think it dated back hundreds of years, but it’s actually built in a Tudor revival style; the builders incorporated timbers from two retired British Naval ships in the building of it and it is a truly a delight to the senses. If you get really lucky on your visit to Liberty, you might find that there is a section, usually on the top floor, that will have a display of antique Liberty items and items designed by the original designers from the Arts & Crafts era. They are usually beyond my price range, but I’ve seen fabulous armoires, clocks, art and yes, jewelry, on my many wanderings.
This wonderful Arts and Crafts pendant would fit right in there at Liberty and Company. It was designed by the famed Liberty designer William Hair Haseler and is hallmarked to the reverse with his makers mark and ‘925’ for sterling silver. It was made before the store on Regent Street was built in the 20s, and probably dates to about 1905-1910 (Liberty and Company predates the Regent street store by some 40 years). It is set with four round faceted amethyst gems and one round blister pearl which measures 8.2 mm in diameter. The pendant is 39 mm long from top to bottom and 28 mm across, it weighs 4.8 grams.
To be honest, I’m a bit reluctant to part with this lovely piece, I’m always tempted to keep a good Liberty piece, I like to wear them when I visit, let them visit their roots, as it were!

Antique 18k Gold Rose Cut Diamond Griffin Brooch Pin
$ 1,400.00
In truth, while I sometimes do a bit of shopping in Paris, I don’t usually stay for very long. Instead, I head out to the beautiful little city of Versailles. Known for it’s fabulous palace with it’s wonderful gardens and fountains, I usually avoid that area and the tourists who visit by the busload and instead confine myself to wondering the twisted lanes of the Passage de la Geôle. Like most antiques markets in Europe, it’s best to go on a Saturday, early in the morning, grab a cafe au lait and pretty much any pastry from Antoinette’s nearby and you’ll be a happy shopper as you wander from little shop to little shop. I found this Griffin one chilly Saturday morning as I munched on a Pain au Chocolat and sipped my hot drink, stopping into as many shops as I could to avoid being out in the cold. The shop owner gave me a little side eye for getting crumbs on his counter, but all was forgiven when I left with this guy and a pocket full of other goodies to boot!
This wonderfully hand crafted Griffin brooch was hand crafted in about 1880 with exquisite detail. It is done in 18 karat gold which has been repoussed, or worked out from behind and is set with a wonderful bright rose cut diamond of 4.6 mm across. I’m almost certain that this brooch was made in France, but as it has no hallmarks I can be one hundred percent sure, it is fully unmarked but we’ve acid tested it to verify the 18 karat gold content. It’s a medium-sized brooch, measuring 30.4 mm top to bottom and 34.9 mm across, and it weighs 4.3 grams. It would be stunning on a man or a woman!

Antique Victorian Sapphire Diamond Ring 14k Gold
$ 2,250.00
I met my dealer friend Julia at the bakery across the street just before the market opened for a snack and chat. It was a fresh, cool, lovely English spring morning, nice enough to sit outside, as long as you wrapped your hands tightly around a steaming hot Latte. The fog was burning off and sun coming out while we sat under the little awning talking shop as the electric heater boxes gave off a warm orange glow. We had flaky, buttery chocolate croissants still warm and melty from the oven, oh my. Julia was wearing this ring on the upper part of her ring finger, one of some dozen or so rings she had on in total. I commented that I liked the shape. It left the cafe in my pocket.
This navette shaped sapphire and diamond ring was hand crafted around 1900. It is set with four bright and lively blue sapphires which are cushion cut and weigh about 0.30 carats each for 1.2 carats in total. The sapphires are surrounded by winking diamonds, 7 in total of about 0.03 carats each, 0.21 carats in total. The ring measures 16.6 mm north to south and 10.2 mm across, it sits 4 mm off the finger and narrows to 1.4 mm wide at the back of the band.

Victorian Cushion Cut Diamond 3 Stone Engagement Ring 18k Gold with Band
$ 6,550.00
He saved every penny, wore his socks until he was darning the darns that he’d already darned before. He thought about her all the time, his Kate, she was in his dreams and in his waking thoughts, he cherished their every moment together and went over them time and again in his mind until the details had worn off and they were soft and smooth as an old penny. He knew the sound of her footstep and he lived for the sound of her laughter. He knew she’d say yes, knew she’d marry him even if it was an old shoe lace that he wrapped around her finger, but he didn’t want that, he wanted a proper ring, that she’d wear for all of their long life together.
So he saved. First he bought one small diamond and then another to match, he worked hard at his job as a printers apprentice and the printer gave him more responsibility and more money. On the day that he bought the center stone he carefully unwrapped all three and planned out the ring in his mind, studying the stones, seeing their detail by daylight and by candlelight. He took them to the jeweler the very next day. In one week he would have a ring. A proper, glowing diamond ring.
The ring sat in a small leather box with a brass clasp inside his jacket pocket. He had planned it all out, he would take her to Pagani’s, a stylish restaurant near Queen’s Hall on Langham Place. He’d booked their most intimate table, the one in the little bow-window at the back, which made the snuggest of nooks.
She arrived in crimson, and her blue eyes sparkled in the shaded electric lights of the restaurant. He’d been nervous all day, and worried that he’d somehow mess it up, but the moment he saw her all his fears and doubts faded away to joy, she was the one, he knew, and this was their night. They ate and talked and laughed and drank champagne until late in the night and when dessert arrive, a Souffle au Cuacao for two, he signaled to the waiter to refill their glasses and he raised his to hers. “To my wife?” he asked with a smile as he slid the little leather box her way. She glanced down at the box and smiled back.
This wonderful Victorian ring was made in England in about 1880. In truth, I know very little about it except what I can surmise from the cut of the stones, from the way it is beautifully hand crafted. One can only perhaps imagine its life up until now. It has no hallmarks and so it’s very possible that it was a custom made ring, no need to pay the assay duty or have it hallmarked if it’s a commission, after all. The stones are very lively hand cut and polished old European cushion cuts, they are chunky and vibrant.
We had our jeweler do a bit of work on the prongs as they were a bit thin, so all the stones have been out and weighed, the center weighs 0.74 carats, the two side stones are 0.35 and 0.36 carats, for a total diamond weight in this ring of 1.45 carats. The stones are clean, but a little bit off color, which was typical for diamonds at this time, as good supply of whiter stones wouldn’t be found for a few more decades. The face of the diamond ring measures 7.5 mm north to south and 9.1 mm across, it sits 5.4 mm off the finger and narrows to 1 mm at the back of the band. At some point someone had a matching band made, it’s also a hand crafted ring and mimics the design of the shoulders of the diamond ring, the band is 3.3 mm wide, I don’t have a photo of it, I’m sorry, I will endeavor to add one soon. Together the rings weigh 7.3 grams, I’ve acid tested both of them and they are 18 karat gold, the band is a size 6 and the diamond ring is a size 6.25. The rings come in this wonderful antique box that I purchased them in when I found them in London.
“So tell me, Kate, will you spend your life letting me try to make you happy?” He asked, cocking his head.
“Yes, William,” She said, “Yes, I will.”

Victorian 5 Stone Ruby Diamond Ring 18k Gold
$ 800.00

Perfectly pink rubies, three in all, decorate the ring face, accented perfectly with two old European cut diamonds, all set in a beautifully hand carved 18k gold band.

There is also a maker’s mark that reads "H G & SLtd". The ring face measures 6.6 x 15 mm, the band is 1.8 mm thick and tapers to 2.2 mm wide at the back. It is a size 7.5 and weighs 3.3 grams.

Edwardian Triple Opal Diamond Ring 18k Gold 1904

The Victorians were mad for three and five and seven stone rings. They used a combination of diamond, ruby, sapphire and opal most commonly in these lovely rings. Sometimes they even put little diamonds in-between, or sometimes they alternated stones or mixed them up. They were even known to use a variety of gems to spell out a word, like ‘dearest’ or ‘regard’. Today, their ubiquity in this bygone age has redounded to our great fortune, as they still look the part for any occasion and make the perfect stacking ring in any combination!
Here we have a stunning example in opal and diamond. Hand crafted in 18 karat gold, this lovely ring is fully hallmarked and was made in Birmingham, England in 1904. The marks include the crown, the anchor for Birmingham, ’18’ for it's gold purity, the lower case ‘e’ for the year 1904, as well as a maker's mark and insurance inventory number. The claw set mount has beautifully carved shoulders and is graced with three bright and vibrant opals with lively tones of blue, green and orange, as well as four bright and sparkling old European cut diamonds for added interest. The ring sits 4.5 mm off the finger and measures 7.1 mm north to south, 20 mm across, and weighs 4 grams. This lovely Victorian opal and diamond ring is currently a US size 9, but could be sized a bit upon request.
The Victorians ladies absolutely loved this style of ring, but I don’t think they were quite as savvy as we ladies are today because we’ve realized that this kind of ring is perfect for stacking!!

Antique French Diamond Grape Cluster Pendant 18k Gold
$ 2,380.00
I took the last plane out of Europe the last time I was there, it was the beginning of the first shut down for the Coronavirus and over the course of 5 days I’d watched from the roof deck of my flat in Notting Hill as the city emptied out. All of the sudden there were parking spots and tables at restaurants that had previously taken months to get into. I walked to the store for supplies and passed only the occasional person, usually both of us wordlessly agreeing to take opposite sides of the street. My most regular suppliers came by with goods and we diligently wiped everything with sanitizer between rounds of looking at jewels. I bought every beautiful thing that I could find because I knew it may be a long time before I could get back. As it turns out, I was right.
This lovely diamond cluster of grapes is French in origin, both the pendant and the chain are marked with the Eagles head assay for 18 karat gold. The Grapes are composed of nineteen (19) old European cut diamonds, each one about 0.03 carats for a total of 0.57 carats in the pendant. The drop measures 19.6 mm from top to bottom and 12.5 mm across, it has a wonderfully wrought leafy cap and a ton of sparkle. It’s hanging a bit oddly on this chain, the pendant is attached directly to the chain, I’d be happy to have my jeweler add a jump ring before we ship it out if you like. The hand crafted chain is 19 inches long and the necklace weighs 4.1 grams.

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. She wandered a few steps from the market and noticed a beautifully laid out window festooned in gold and diamonds that winked in the setting sun. Her eyes were immediately drawn to an opal ring, it was stunning and so unusual, like nothing she’d ever seen. The shop owner was emptying the window for the night but he caught her staring and held the ring up for her to get a better view. Her new husband came up behind her and put an arm around her.
He held a bottle of champagne in the other hand, her favorite kind, and he whispered in her ear, “do you need diamonds to go with your bubbles?”.
“No,” she said, “but I might need opals.”

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.

Have you ever seen those ads where they say that thing about diamonds being forever? Well, it’s true, you know, they were here long, long before us and will be here long after. There may or may not be life on other planets, it may or may not be advanced, but there are most certainly diamonds out there. Here on Earth, or out in the cosmos, diamonds are forever.
These diamonds likely didn’t start off life in a ring, or if they did, it most certainly wasn’t this ring. This ring was hand crafted in the 1940s, and is set with 19 old European cut diamonds that were probably cut before 1880, I wonder how that came to be, did they come out of someones grandmother’s brooch, or Victorian bracelet? Were they just old diamonds, in a little sack, never set into anything? I guess we’ll never know. What we do know is that now these 19 diamonds are the stars of this show. They measure approximately 3x3x2 mm and weight approximately 2.10 carats in total weight, they are lively, bright and clean stones. The ring is done in 18 karat white gold, it isn’t marked but has been acid tested to verify content. The ring is 3.85 mm wide and sits 2.7 mm off the finger, it is a size 6.75 and weighs 4.8 grams.

It’s like an apple, the reddest of the red sort, crisp and sweet with a touch of tart. But this is the sort of red you get to wear on your finger, like a crown.

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.

She barely felt it when he slipped it on her finger. She was too mesmerized by his eyes, their bright blue hue sparkled with mischief as his finger drew circles on the inside of her palm. They were at the theatre, but neither of them had their eyes on the stage, they were preoccupied by each other, finally alone in the dark, able to touch for the first time. ‘I love you’, he mouthed it, and held her hand up as his eyes drifted to the ring newly alighted on her finger. She felt it now and looked down in surprise. The heart shone in the lights from the stage, it was the same color as his eyes.

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.

Vintage Double Witches Heart and Bow Gold Pearl Brooch Hallmarked
$ 580.00
Some pieces catch me by the eye, others by the heart; this one was both. I was casually chatting with a vendor at Portobello Road, asking how they’d been, how were the kids? It was having a hard time paying attention to the small talk because my eye kept going to this gorgeous double heart in her case. As soon as we’d dispensed with the niceties I had my grubby fingers all over this beauty. At first I was a little bit disappointed with it, even though it is beautifully handcrafted and set with the most lumimous, well matched, pearls; I knew right away from the size of it’s English hallmarks that it wasn’t as old as I’d wanted it to be. I also knew right away that it was hand crafted with a high degree of skill, so I forgave it it's vintage date!
This large and impressive Vintage brooch was hand crafted in the 1970s after an earlier Victorian style brooch. It features a double witches heart with a bow above, a very old and romantic motif. The brooch is set with 72 creamy white pearls. The brooch is on the larger side, measuring 37.4 mm north to south and 34.2 mm across and it weighs 9.5 grams. This one is fully hallmarked as having been made in London, England in 1972, it has a makers mark of ‘H.B’ and is marked both ‘9’ and ‘.375’ for 9 karat gold. This designer brooch could also be worn as a pendant.
Brooches just like this one were made in 1772, 1872, 1972 and will probably still be being made 2072! As long as they are beautifully made by skilled craftsman, like this one, I’ll keep buying them!

Vintage Princess Cut Diamond Eternity Band Ring, 1.75 cwt Size 7
$ 3,000.00
For stacking, layering, going solo, or even dangling from a matching chain, eternity bands are one of the most surprisingly versatile pieces of jewelry around. For an engagement ring she’ll brag about forever, or an anniversary gift she’ll be speechless over, it’s something she can wear in an endless variety of beautiful ways.
This vintage diamond ring was handcrafted around 1960. It features 33 princess-cut diamonds set in platinum on a size 7 band. Each of the diamonds measures approximately 2 x 2 x 1.6 mm and together, they weigh an about 1.75 carats total. This ring weighs 4.4 grams, the height measures 3.1 mm and the depth is 2.2 mm off the finger. It bears the hallmark, “PLAT”, “152”, and “PT 950”, as well as a maker’s mark. This glittering band is likely European.
One of my favorite parts of this job, besides wearing fabulous things, is the research behind it. The idea of the eternity ring dates back to ancient Egypt. The clever and mysterious Egyptians wore rings to represent eternity in life and in love. Archeologists have uncovered rings crafted of bone, reeds, and precious metals, with carvings, beads, and gems featured around the entirety of the band. The beautiful, romantic, and enticing eternity band never went out of favor, and saw a resurgence in the early 1900’s. There are eternity bands from the 1920’s I’ve had a hard time parting with! However, it was the 1970’s, when this ring was made, that saw this timeless design and brought it back to a newfound popularity, thanks to De Beers. They marketed small-cut stones and suddenly eternity rings became fashionable with the elite.

Vintage Gold Diamond Solitaire Ring
$ 350.00
In ancient times, to test a diamond was very simple. Place the stone on an anvil and strike it with a hammer. If the stone broke, it wasn’t a diamond. The Romans believed diamonds were splinters of fallen stars. The Greeks believed diamonds were the tears of the gods. Some early civilizations believed that leaving a diamond uncut would preserve the stone’s magical properties. I’m not sure that cutting a diamond takes away its magical properties as this ring has be spell-bound.
