Antique Opal and Diamond Cluster Ring c. 1890 in 15k Gold
$ 2,320.00
There are a lot of moments. Some of them have cold rain that won’t let up. Some of them are too hot, sticky, and endless. But then there are those that are just right – where the air is as soft as washed silk against your skin, where the clouds are like frosting coating the sky in strips.
It was just like last May, when he came home from work and found her on a sugar high from too much lemonade on the back porch. She was on the phone with her mama, happy and chatting and turning red from laughter. In that moment, he saw her soulful hazel eyes and her messy blonde hair. He watched how her eyebrows crinkled when she giggled and how she crossed her legs like a pretzel on that white wicker chair. He couldn’t stop himself from pulling the ring box out of his jacket and bending down on one knee. He watched her as she stopped mid-sentence, how she whispered, “Oh my goodness mama”, and how she squealed yes and jumped up and in to his arms.
This antique Victorian opal and diamond cluster ring was handcrafted in 15 karat gold. It was made circa 1890 in England. The oval opal in the center measures 6.7 x 5.1 x 2.6 mm. A cluster of 10 sparkling diamonds surround the almost luminescent opal. This ring is a lovely size 9.25 and weighs 4.7 grams. The face of the ring measures 11.9 x 10.6 x 6.6 mm off the finger. The band width is 2.7 mm. This piece is unmarked and has been acid tested to verify content.
This is the ideal engagement ring for the creative girl, the witty girl, the funny girl. It’s for the girl who doesn’t just go with the flow.

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.
This ring would make a great addition to a stack or a wonderful gift for any occasion!

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!

Ivy Embossed Band Ring 18k Gold
$ 1,580.00
It only took a split second for me to decide that this ring was for me when the dealer pulled it out of her display and placed it in my hand. There is nothing like the feel of 18 karat gold, it has such a luxurious weight that it always makes me think I've landed in Middle Earth. It warms instantly to the touch and has a comfort level that other metals simply cannot match.
This hand carved 18 karat gold ring is engraved with a Ivy leaf motif, often used by the English as symbolic of the romantic phrase 'I cling to thee', the lovely carving is still quite crisp. The ring is fully hallmarked as having been made in Birmingham, England in 1899, it is 8 mm wide and weighs 6.8 grams.
A spectacular and sentimental ring that would make a fantastic wedding band!

Victorian Diamond Peridot 3 Stone Ring
$ 1,850.00
Peridot is the only gemstone found in meteorites. Granted these particularly lovely, bright Spring green round-cut Peridots are 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.
These two bright and lively peridots play point, counter-point on either side of brightly dancing Old European cut diamond. This hand crafted ring is made in 18 karat gold; the center diamond is an old European cut and measures 5 x 5 x 3.4 mm and weighs .55 carats, the two peridots measure 3.5 x 3.5 x 2.3 mm and weigh .18 carats each, or .36 together. The ring has been re-shanked at some point in it’s long life and has lost it’s hallmarks, but is certainly English in origin and dates to about 1890-1900, it tests as 18 karat gold. This ring measures 5.8 mm north to south and 12.5 mm across the face, it sits 5.4 mm off the finger at the highest point and narrows to 1.6 mm at the back of the band. This ring is a size 7.6 and weighs 2.7 grams.
