Antique Diamond Engagement Ring, Dutch c. 1875 in 14k Gold
$ 3,980.00
In my humble opinion, some of the best museums in Europe are located along the gorgeous old brick and cobblestone streets of Amsterdam, along with lovely canals and markets of tulips and amazing architecture, and wonderful food and friendly folk, and…. well, I could go on. If I’m not buying jewels you might find me in one of these lovely museums on my, sadly too infrequent, visits to this loveliest of cities.
On my last visit in early autumn, when I wasn’t touring the Reijksmuseum or lunching at the Cobra Café, I was buying jewels. Here’s one of them, a fantastically sparkly and completely perfect diamond engagement ring.
Set in 14 karat gold, this handcrafted ring boast a lovely and deep sparkling .6 carat Old European cushion cut diamond winking away in a classical prong mount. The diamond is very clean even with a 10x jewelers loupe and about a I/J color (it’s hard to judge as it’s mounted in gold, so I’m erring on the side of caution in my estimate). The sides are set with 5 sparkling rose cut diamonds on each shoulder for a total of 11 diamonds in the ring. The main diamond measures 4.8 mm north to south and 4.4 mm across, it is 3.5 mm deep. This ring is a size 7.75 and could be resized safely by about one size in either direction and no more. It weighs 1.8 grams, and is marked ’14’ for 14 karat gold. Probably Dutch in origin, this perfectly wonderful ring dates to about 1870-1880.
As well as being cultured and truly lovely, Amsterdam is a very romantic city; standing on the Magerebrug bridge over the Amstel river at sunset would make a nice place to ask for her hand (just don’t drop the ring!). Or do what I did, and honeymoon here. I highly recommend getting a top floor room at one of the 17th century bed and breakfasts that are tucked away along the tree lined canals. Climb the stairs to room under the sweeping iconic eves of an Amsterdam room and step back into the feel of an authentic slice of Old Europe.

Art Deco Large Moonstone Gold Ring

The sky was a deep violet with pops of starlight scattered within it, like sugar crystals spilling onto a picnic blanket. Slowly, as they sat there, on the edge of the pier overlooking the lake, the sky turned into pink, taking the glow of the stars with it. It changed to yellow, as the sun peaked over the horizon, and they made hot cocoa by the campfire. She wore a ring on her finger, with a gemstone, and with love. It was this time last year, right here, just like this, when he asked and she said yes.

Art Deco Diamond Onyx Ring Filigree White Gold
$ 250.00
I figured that my obsession with Art Deco would have faded by now, it’s been years, but honestly I just keep feeding it with rings like this. The 1920’s has my soul. Just look at the chevron and fan motif on this ring! It’s geometric and sturdy, bold and detailed. During Art Deco, diamonds were placed over onyx for a sharp black and white contrast that fit the dynamic feel of the times. It’s a ring design that has swept me off my feet and stolen my heart.

The ring face itself features elegant geometrics of the times and the shoulders continue this design almost all the way around the band. The diamond’s setting was screwed into the onyx to ensure security. The ring face measures 17.6 x 15 x 5 mm off the finger and the band width is 1.7 mm at the back. This ring is a size 5.5 US band and it weighs 2.2 grams. It bears the gold purity mark, “10k”.

Vintage English Aquamarine Ring in 18k White Gold Setting
$ 1,000.00
I’ve always found stones with blue hues to be rather calming. Aquamarines are the color of the water on a sunny day, without a cloud in sight. The name is Latin for, “water of the sea”, as the most revered aquamarines were a natural bluish-green shade. They were first documented around 480 BC and symbolized eternal youth and happiness. I can tell you that this vintage stunner makes me indubitably happy! So, our ancestors were certainly onto something.
This beautiful aquamarine ring was handcrafted in 18 karat white gold. It was made in Birmingham, England in 1972, and is a clear sign of the Retro times. The aquamarine sits at the center of a four-prong high-mount setting, with geometric shoulders on a size 5.75-85 US band. The rectangular step-cut stone measures 9.8 x 7.8 x 5 mm and weighs approximately 2.62 carats. The ring face measures 11 x 8.5 x 9 mm off the finger, and the band width is 2.3 mm. This vintage ring has been fully hallmarked. It bears the crown mark for England, the gold purity mark, “18”, the origin mark for Birmingham, and the date letter, “X”. The maker’s mark reads, “S&Co”.
It looks to me like this is your next favorite cocktail ring. It’s not too big, and not too small, just the right size to make a beautiful statement.
