Antique Victorian Blue Sapphire Solitaire Ring in 18k Gold
$ 855.00 $ 950.00
It matched the color of eyes, like so few things did. They were blue like the ocean before a storm, like a field of blooming bluebells, or like the wings of a morpho butterfly. She wore it because she liked the bands of color inside the stone and how the gold felt cool and then warm on her finger. She wore it because he gave it to her while asking for her hand.
This antique Victorian sapphire and gold ring was handcrafted in London, 1879. An oval faceted sapphire, measuring 7 x 5.2 x 2.8 mm and weighing approximately .82 carats, is set in 18 karat gold. This beautiful natural stone bears some color banding within, giving it what I like to call ‘tiger stripes’. It is fully hallmarked and bears the origin mark of a crown for England, the gold purity mark, “18”, the leopard head mark for London, and the letter date, “D”. This ring is a size 8.25 and weighs 4.7 grams. The ring face measures 10.5 x 13.7 x 2.7 mm off the finger and has a band width of 3.3 mm.
This is a ring to behold. It has color, and sparkle. It would be an amazing engagement ring or birthday surprise.

Reserved ~ Arts & Crafts Sapphire Pearl Gold Necklace by Artificers' Guild
Sold Out - $ 1,589.00 $ 1,765.00
Sapphires have been attributed to royalty since the beginning of written history. The color and rarity of the stone signified power and wealth. During the Middle Ages, sapphires were thought to be the divine stone, to shield the wearer from harm and disease. The Edwardian era marked a time of luxury and indulgence. Sapphire motifs with pearl accents, like this necklace, were fashionable.
This breathtaking antique Arts and Crafts sapphire and pearl gold necklace was made in England, around 1910. I feel confident in attributing this necklace to The Artificers’ Guild, which was founded in 1901. It was one of the few Arts & Crafts inspired businesses in England to find commercial success. This piece features meandering golden tree branches with 14 white lustrous pearls for leaves; each pearl measures 2.5 mm in diameter. It’s an undulating design with three sapphires that gradate from darkest to lightest as they flow from the top to the bottom, and total a weight of 3.1 carats. The main feature measures 64 x 52 mm. This necklace weighs 12.2 grams and is 22 inches in length, including the drop. It is hallmarked with the gold purity mark, ‘15ct’, signifying it was made in 15 karat gold.
This nature-inspired necklace curves smoothly about and would be a positively perfect gift, even for yourself.

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.

Antique Art Nouveau Sapphire and Diamond Ring, 18k Gold and Platinum c. 1900
Sold Out - $ 1,512.00 $ 1,680.00
The morning was a bright one. Spring time in Paris, sunny and brisk. The air smelled sweet from all the trees and flowers in bloom, tinged with the smells of fresh coffee and sweet things baking in the shops along the street. I stopped into a cafe to pick up a cafe creme and a pain au chocolat, it was warm inside and slightly steamy. Then off to do a little shopping. Is there really any better combination than coffee, chocolate, and diamonds? Not that I know of! (Well, okay, diamonds go pretty well with champagne, too, but it was just a wee bit too early in the morning for that!).
This wonderfully sweet sapphire and diamond ring has a very definite Art Nouveau feel to it. Set in the center is a bright blue .6 carat round faceted natural sapphire, providing star support on either side of the sapphire are two lovely and lively old European cut diamonds, each of which weigh about .3 carats. The sides of this ring are accented with another 14 rose cut diamonds, all of the diamonds are set in platinum, the rest of the ring tests as 18 karat gold. This ring bears no marks, but I did purchase it in France and suspect that it is French in origin and lost its mark to resizing somewhere along the way, it dates to about 1900-1910. We've carefully acid tested it to verify the metal content. Overall, the ring measures 16.5 mm north to south, 12 mm across and sits 5 mm off the finger. It is currently a size 7.5 but could be resized a bit in either direction, it weighs 4.1 grams.
This gorgeous and sparkling ring would make an elegant and unusual engagement ring. It would go great with everything; jeans, cocktail dresses, even chocolate croissants!
