Vintage 14k Gold Jade Ring
$ 1,450.00
I’ve often felt that there’s mystery in a jade stone. In Mandarin, “jade” (yu) refers to a fine, beautiful stone with a warm color and rich luster. In Chinese culture, jade symbolizes nobility, perfection, and immortality. It’s known as the “imperial gem” as it was worn by the most wealthy and influential members of society. It has been mined and used in jewelry for royalty since the Neolithic period. It’s a fascinating stone as it’s an intimate part of the lives of Chinese of all ranks and classes.
This vintage jade ring was handcrafted around 1950. It’s a beautiful piece in a marquis shape with a bright green jade stone at the center set in 14 karat gold. The jade measures 14.2 x 8.3 x .9 mm. This ring is a size 7.75 and it weighs 2.7 grams. The ring face measures 16 mm north to south, 9.7 mm across, and 3.3 mm off the finger. The band width narrows to 2.5 mm at the back. It bears the gold purity mark, “G14K” and the maker’s mark, “FL”.
Take your style game up a notch with this dazzling jade ring. It’s the ultimate as far as accessories go. It’s traveled the world and back again and is still taking breaths away.

Sparkling Antique Victorian Diamond Sapphire Ring
$ 780.00
In a pretty city carriage with berry pink seats and a sweet horse with chestnut fur, the sky turned to twilight and the two of you sat huddled side by side in the chilled air. Of course, neither of you paid the least bit of attention to the temperature, because an hour ago, he asked for your hand and gifted you a ring with sparkling diamonds and glowing sapphires. You said nothing at first, your jaw just dropped and your gloved hands flew up to cover it. Then you laughed and giggled, slipped off a glove and held out your hand. “Yes” and he smiled wide and his eyes were happier than you’d ever seen them.
This fantastic late Victorian ring was hand crafted around 1890-1900. It is done all in 18 karat gold and is set with three sapphires as blue as the sky at twilight and four old cut diamonds sparkling like evening stars. The Sapphires add up to .35 carats and the ring measures 5 mm north to south and 12.5 mm across, it sits 3 mm off the finger. This ring was likely fully hallmarked at one time but has been resized and lost its marks, it is a size 5.5 and weighs 2.6 grams. It has been acid tested to verify gold content.

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!
