Antique French Diamond Ring with Black Enamel Accents, 18k Gold

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.

Peridot is the only gemstone found in meteorites. Granted this particularly lovely bright olive green emerald-cut Peridot is most likely Earth-made, but I find it fascinating to think of all those big chunks of rock flying through the cosmos with these lovely green crystals along for the ride. Is is just coincidence that Kryptonite looks a little like Peridot? I think not.

This wonderful bright green peridot is the star of this sparkling ring. Hand crafted around 1910, this lovely and lively stone measures 7.5 x 7 x 3.2 mm and weighs about 1.25 carats. Overall the face of this ring measures 14 mm north to south and 10 mm across, and the shoulders are adorned with golden bows. This size 5.5 ring weighs 3.6 grams and is marked inside the band with ’18k’. I think that this lovely ring is American in origin.

This early ring has wonderful panache and a great play of color. The stones are green garnets backed with very early green glass, called doublets, done to enhance the color of the stones and make them appear this wonderful lush green. The ring is set with three doublets and six natural river pearls. This beautifully hand crafted ring is done in 12 karat gold and was probably made around 1850-60. The ring measures 12 mm north to south and 13 mm across at the face and sits 4.7 mm off the finger. This beautiful ring weighs 1.9 grams and is a size 6.6, it would be very difficult if not impossible to resize this one as it’s so lightly made and so old. This unmarked ring is locket backed, it would originally have held hair at the back. It is unmarked but has been carefully acid tested to verify the gold content.

Three sparkling wine colored garnets make up the backbone of this lovely, long ring. It was hand crafted in England of 15 karat gold in about 1890. The three stones are bright and lovely, a rich-plummy wine color. Each stone measures 5x5x2.5 mm and weighs about .35 carats, a total weight of 1.05 carats. The top and bottom stones are a bit deeper in color than the center. The ring measures 18.7 mm from top to bottom and 18 mm across, it sits 4.3 mm off the finger and narrows to 2.2 mm at the back of the band. This ring is unmarked but has an insurance number inscribed on it, it tests as 15 karat gold, weighs 3.3 grams and is a size 8.
