Orange Sapphire Solitaire Ring in 18k Gold Mount, English
Sold Out - $ 1,100.00 $ 1,500.00
I was taken in by the beguiling gem at the heart of this fabulous solitaire ring. It shimmers and sparkles with every move of the hand. The color changes from richest orange to salmon pink and back again depending on the light of the day.
This hand crafted estate ring is fully hallmarked and was made in Birmingham, England in 2006, practically a baby by my standards! The lovely setting has two little leaves on either side of the four prong mounted stone. The stone itself measures 9.1x7.2x5.4 mm and weighs approximately 2.85 carats. This is a wonderfully clean stone with just one small feather inclusion visible with magnification. The ring is marked with the marks for Birmingham, England, 2006, and 18 karat (white) gold. The ring is a size 6.25 US and could be re-sized to suit.
This bright and lively ring would make a stunning engagement ring for anyone looking for an alternative to a diamond.

They walked along the sand hand in hand as the sun rose over the ocean. He’d woken her just before dawn with warm hands and soft kisses and then scooped her out of bed and dragged her out the back door and through the dunes to the ocean’s edge.

Antique 14k Gold Diamond Daisy Ring
$ 1,050.00
Old cut diamonds can definitely be dangerous. The more of them you see, the more of them you desire to own! Modern brilliant cut diamonds may be nice and sparkly and prized for their proportions and symmetry, but old European cuts like this one are more like individual works of art. Hand cut by master craftsmen who spent decades learning their craft, these cutters used no computers, no lasers; using only 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 today's modern cut stones. This lovely Art Nouveau daisy ring showcases a stunning old European cut diamond center with large cut facets that cause it to flash with slow and stunning sparks of colorful fire, all surrounded by a halo of daisy petals in gold. A stone that was made over a century ago to be worn by candlelight, but still looks fantastic in any light today.
This ring is hallmarked as crafted in 14 karat yellow gold, the center diamond is a round old European cut with a large culet, that measures 3.4x3.4x2.2 mm and weighs approximately .20 carats. It weighs 2.0 grams and is currently a size 7 US, but could easily be re-sized to fit. The ring face measures 9.7 mm north to south and it sits 2.4 mm off the finger, it narrows to 1.2 mm at the back of the band. A romantic gift or special treat, this stunning treasure would look as pretty on the hand as the first flowers of spring or a glorious a summer’s day!

Antique French Art Nouveau Diamond Bypass Ring
$ 980.00
He asked for her hand in the early hours of the morning, before either of them had had their coffee. The sun was hardly making light out their small apartment window, that had a faraway view of the harbor. She was barely waking up, when he gently whispered her name and asked if they could do this life thing together, “Me and you? Forever?” She nodded with a smile of knowing and love, as he slipped a diamond gold ring on her finger.
This antique Art Nouveau diamond bypass style ring was handcrafted in France, around 1900. The design is elegant and defines the Art Nouveau period it was made in with its smooth elements and graceful flower-inspired motif.

$ 6,300.00
The year was 1874, Winston Churchill was born, the son of a British Lord and an American socialite. Maybe Lord Churchill give his wife this ring to celebrate the birth of his son? Probably not, but a girl can dream! And since jewelry doesn’t tell any tales, there’s no way we will ever truly know.

Vintage Retro Aquamarine Cocktail Ring, French Marks
$ 2,400.00
5 o’clock cocktails, high heels, tight dresses, big hair, cigarettes, that’s the era that this fantastic cocktail ring was born into. It screams for gold lamé and a fresh manicure. Big was the fashion of the day and 1950s jewelry was bold and flashy and demanded attention, and this beautiful aqua ring is certainly no exception.
Hand crafted in 18 karat gold, this fabulous ring has a play on the Neoclassical with its columnar feel and scrolling mount. It is set with a huge aquamarine stone in the very lightest shade of blue which weighs about 20 carats (22.2x17.5x9.6mm). The ring is marked on the back with several French hallmarks, it has the import mark of the owl with a 75 on it’s chest this means it has been assayed as 750 or 18k gold, it also has two other marks, but they are too rubbed to make out. This wonderfully weighty ring is a size 7.25 US and could be resized to suit, it weighs 17.7 grams. The ring measures 23 mm north to south and 18 mm across, it is 13 mm high and narrows to 4.4 mm at the back of the band. I bought this beauty in Paris, and while it's a bit hard to date, I suspect it was made in Europe around 1950.
This ring would go perfectly with a martini, but it would play nice with ice tea as well, wearable from blue-jeans to ballgowns!

Antique Hard Stone Cameo Ring, Conversion in 14k & 18k Gold
$ 750.00
One of the things I love about antique jewelry is that it has to be the world's best recyclable! This wonderful and clever bit of recycling features an antique hard stone cameo that probably started out life as the head of a stick pin, but has been re-imagined into this lovely and stylish and eminently more wearable ring. A true sign that classical beauty never goes out of fashion!
The top of the ring, in which the cameo is mounted, is the original head of the stick pin and was hand crafted with a lovely twisted wire-work frame in 14 karat gold. The hand crafted ring shank has been designed with the perfect classical accents to compliment the cameo, it is crafted in 18 karat gold, and is marked as such inside the band. The top dates to about 1880, the shank shows some signs of wear, so I would say the conversion was probably done some 20 years ago or more. The stone is carnelian and the carving is of a lovely Grecian woman in profile, it has a wonderful orange-rose color, there is a slight chip in the stone at the bottom in the white frame, it's visible in the close up photo, it's very small but bears mentioning. The ring is a size 7.5 and could be sized up or down, the shank is quite substantial and the ring weighs 5.2 grams.
I offer layaway on all 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.

It’s almost as if it was deliberate, a two-hundred-year old plan plotted with meticulous detail and raging success. Go ahead, show it off, I insist.
This fabulous Georgian silver gilt band was handcrafted around 1800. This antique ring is a simple band with beautiful engraving that encircles the entire ring. It’s a size 9 and weighs 11.6 grams. The ring face measures 9.1 mm wide all the way around and sits 2.7 mm off the finger. It has been acid tested. It bears the date mark, “N” and two other English marks that have faded over the years.

Antique Victorian 18k Gold Ruby & Pearl 5 Stone Ring with Diamonds
$ 1,160.00
Like x's and o's or hearts and arrows, red and white just seem romantic together somehow. Natural, easy, and meant to be. Very complimentary, indeed!
I came across this ring while shopping the grounds at Newark, at an antiques market north of London. It seemed so cheery and bright on an otherwise bleak late winter day. This ring is hand made in 18 karat gold and is set with three oval faceted bright red rubies that add up to about .7 carats total and two 4.4 x 3.5 mm oval shaped creamy half pearls. The ring is also accented with 10 wonderfully lively rose cut diamonds, just to add a little glitter and up the quotient of joy! I'm certain that this ring has had a little facelift in the last 50 years or so, it shows signs of re-shanking (the back of the band has been replaced, probably it was too thin, likely it originally had hallmarks that were lost in this) and re-tipping (some of the prongs have been re-done to make the stones more secure), it was quite well done and as a result it is in excellent and quite wearable condition and has a wonderful hefty weight. The crown of this ring is truly lovely with all it's heavily engraved scrollwork. It weighs 3.8 grams and is a size 8.25. It could be re-sized somewhat, I'm always happy to check with my jeweler to see what's possible.
Almost certainly made in England around 1880, this is a gorgeous ring with a romantic feel to it, it would make a fantastic and unusual engagement or wedding ring.

Antique Amethyst Paste Gold Cluster Ring Victorian
$ 1,280.00
Your ring goes with springtime, it looks perfect in a wonderland of violets and dark purple tulips with robins in the sky. It goes with the smell of fresh rain and mint as you stroll the sidewalks of a small town, going in and out of antique stores. It goes with humming in the breeze, enjoying the tree buds and looking forward to the evening, when the stars will come out and the grass will dew and your love will be home.
This antique cluster ring was hand crafted in England in 9 karat gold in about 1850. The center stone is a cushiony oval of light purple amethyst in a gold pinched bezel surrounded by a halo of black dot, closed backed, pastes set in silver. I think that the top of this ring started life as a brooch or button and has been transformed at some point into this stunning ring. I purchased it this way and the shank is worn enough to show that this wasn’t done any time recently. The ring measures 19.7 mm north to south and 18.5 mm across, it sits 7.2 mm off the finger and narrows to 1.9 mm at the back of the band. This ring is unmarked but has been carefully acid tested; it is a size 7.5 and weighs 6.4 grams.
Ideal in any season, this ring will glitter in any light! Give yourself something special.

Victorian Bright Red Garnet Ring English
$ 680.00
Garnets range so much in color and clarity that it’s amazing they are all still the same stone. From the soft rose of almandine, to the clover green of the tsavorite variety, to the bright orange of spessartites; and all the reds and maroons in between. This particularly bright red is my own personal favorite when it comes to garnet, it always looks extra amazing when I’m holding a glass of Chateauneuf du Pape in my hand.
This gorgeous Victorian Garnet cluster ring was hand crafted in England in about 1880. It is set with 9 bright red garnets that add up to 1 carat in total weight.

Early Victorian Citrine Gold Ring Foil Backed
$ 650.00
He knew the moment he saw it that it would be perfect for her; it was sunny, like her disposition. Surely, it had a story, he didn’t know it, but he was sure she’d be able to tell it. She loved old things and was forever imagining their histories, she said they were little windows back in time. He loved her for this, and so much more.
This fantastic hand crafted early Victorian ring is set with an oval faceted citrine of a rich, sunflower yellow. The stone is a bit abraded from age and wear, this ring was probably made around 1850 and its age does show a bit on it’s face. I was more than happy to forgive it this flaw, as it’s generally in very good condition, the foil backed stone has that extra glow. The ring is a size 6.5 and while it’s unmarked it tests as 9 karat gold. The ring measures 11 mm north to south at the face and tapers to 2 mm wide at the back of the band, it sits 4.1 mm off the finger and weighs 2 grams. The citrine measures 7.5x5.1 mm.
A note from Victoria: This ring is foil backed, it’s fine for regular wear, but care should be taken to keep it dry. Put it in a pocket when washing your hands. If the foil gets wet it can rust and cause discoloration.

Antique Edwardian Round Opal Ring
$ 2,300.00
Opals are rather fabulous things. I share a town with a wonderful shop that sells nothing but Opal jewelry. The owner travels the world (and mostly Australia) in search of the most amazing gems. I always like to take my recent vintage finds into his shop and show them off. He indulges me!
Hand crafted in Edwardian England, this wonderful ring is set with a stunningly beautiful blue/green opal of the most magnificent fire.

The girls around her wore skirts with heels, the boys donned plaid and tweed, it was the 60’s after all. He sat down next to her. She ordered a drink, taking no mind to anyone else. He noticed her and pointed to her ring that glinted in the dim red-tinted light of the place. He smiled, asking who bought it for her. She noted him for the first time and looked him up and down. She sipped her sidecar cocktail and said, “I did,” before walking away into the smoke.

Victorian Diamond Cluster Engagement Ring Halo
$ 3,980.00
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. Hand cut by craftsmen who spent decades learning their craft; these cutters used no computers or 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 today's cookie-cutter modern cut stones. This English ring was made in about 1862 and showcases a collection of chunky old European, cushion cut diamonds with large cut facets that cause it to flash with slow and stunning sparks of colorful fire.
This ring is hand crafted in 18 karat gold, it is set with a cluster of 6 diamonds around a larger center diamond. The center of this ring measures 4x4 x2.4 mm and weighs approximately .25 carts, the other 6 measure on average 3.2x3.2x2.1 mm and weigh about .75 carats together for a total diamond weight in this ring of 1.0 carats.
The ring is inscribed but it has been resized a few times and most of the inscription is a bit worn, it seems to say “The Gift of” and possibly “Marriage” and then on the other side the name ‘Taylor’ and ‘July 21st, 1862’. The face of this ring measures 11.3 mm north to south and 15.6 mm across, it sits 5 mm off the finger and narrows to 2.3 mm at the back of the band. This size 6 ring weighs 3.8 grams, it acid tests as 18 karat gold.
A very, very lovely and romantic specimen of a ring.

Antique 2.3 Carat Cabochon Sapphire Diamond Ring 18k Gold
$ 2,850.00
It was getting dark by the time I reached Lenore’s shop on the beautiful Prinsengracht in Amsterdam’s wonderful Jordaan neighborhood. The lights lining the bridges had popped on as I was hurrying along the waters edge, my collar turned up against the rain that was starting to fall. I was a little cold, and a little hungry and a little wet, and more than a little grumpy when I entered her warm, brightly lit shop. She had charcuterie and wine and this ring and the world seemed shiny and perfect yet again, as it does most of the time I spend in this marvelous city of lights.

Fantastic Large Carnelian Intaglio Signet Ring Edwardian Gold "Win or Die"
Sold Out - $ 1,650.00
I hadn’t been much of a fantasy reader growing up. Outside of Lord of the Rings and Narnia I didn’t know much about the genre, but I wanted to branch out. I asked a friend who loved fantasy to recommend some books for me. For my birthday I received a stack of books by Robert Jordan and Neil Gaiman and George R.R. Martin. I never did quite make it all the way through the ‘Wheel of Time’, but ‘Game of Thrones’ had me at hello.
I couldn’t really help but to think of the iconic line by the Queen of Westerns, Cersei Lannister; when she said of those who would attempt to usurp her, ‘when you play the Game of Thrones, you win, or you die.’. When I louped this ring to look at the carving, I gasped just a little. I saw that it said ’Vincere Aut Mori’, which is Latin for ‘Win or Die’. Inside the ring of words it shows an armoured arm holding a dagger. A ring fit for a man who would be King.
This hand crafted ring was made in Birmingham, England in 1902 of 9 karat gold. It is set with a smooth oval of rich orange carnelian. The face of this ring measures 20.1 mm from top to bottom and 15.1 mm across, it sits 4.9 mm off the finger and narrows to 2.9 mm at the back of the band.

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.

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.

Late Victorian Diamond Pearl Cluster Ring
$ 6,800.00
There is a myth that says that the Inuits have hundreds of different words for snow. It’s not true, actually, but as someone who lives in Wisconsin and is familiar with the many different faces of snow, I can understand why this myth has persisted. Wet snow, light snow, windy snow, those fat flakes that look like little handkerchiefs slowly dancing from the sky, they all seem to deserve their own word. Diamonds and Pearls could be a type of snow, too. On the morning after a big storm, the way the sun sparkles off the freshly fallen flakes, the pearly white of it; yes, Diamonds and Pearls snow might just be my favorite kind.
This fantastic ring is, I believe, continental European in origin. Hand crafted in 14 karat gold, it was made in the Late Victorian era, around 1890. It is set with 8 chunky old European cut diamonds that sparkle like… well like sunlight on snow! The diamonds add up to about 2.14 carats in total weight and the wonderful cultured pearl at the center has a slightly pink/green color, it is 6.28 mm in diameter and is peg set. This ring measures 14.3 mm north to south and 14.8 mm across at the face, it sits 9.2 mm off the finger and narrows to 1.5 mm wide at the back of the band. It is marked ‘585’ for 14 karat gold and weighs 5.1 grams. This size 8.25 ring could be re-sized to suit.
This ring comes with a full appraisal by an accredited, independent antique jewelry dealer, the replacement value is $7580.00.
