Antique Victorian Blue Sapphire Solitaire Ring in 18k Gold
$ 808.00 $ 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.

Edwardian Sapphire Pearl Pendant Necklace 15k Gold
$ 1,573.00 $ 1,850.00
1911: Dressing for dinner was always a bit of an affair. She didn’t mind, picking the dress, the hairdo, the gloves, shoes and most especially the jewels. Sometimes she chose the jewels to match her dress, but tonight she would chose a dress to match the wonderful new necklace that her husband had just brought her from London. She chose a high waisted dress in rich blue with a pale embroiled gold overlay and golden silk gloves that went above the elbow, had her ladies made put he hair up high in back and paired the new necklace with pearl ear bobs that her husband had given her just before they were married. She knew he’d notice, he was just like that, always doing little things to make her happy.
This wonderful pendant has such Edwardian flair. I picture it brand new at an elaborate dinner, the table set with porcelain and candelabras, the wine glasses full, the silverware laid out five places deep on either side of your plate. It’s such a charmer, larger than most and set with five bright sparkling sapphire gems and twelve creamy white pearls. The pattern shows the beginning of Art Deco geometry sneaking in, but is still squarely Edwardian. Made in about 1910 in England of 15 karat gold, it is marked on the reverse with ’15ct’ for 15 karat gold. The pendant measures 34.2 mm from top to bottom and 25.5 mm across, it comes with the chain that I purchased it with, I don’t know if it’s original but it’s the right period and hand crafted, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they’d been together a long time. The chain is 18 3/4 inches long and is marked with ’15c’ and a makers mark of ‘CDB’. It weighs 8.3 grams.

Sunlight streamed through the curtains and landed on the couch where they sat. It was early in the morning and their coffee was still brewing. They read the newspaper together and silently switched sections, without words. When he handed her the business section she found a note taped to the top of the page. In black sharpie it read, “Marry me?” She looked over at him. He held out a ring with sapphires and diamonds, glowing in the morning light, and he raised an eyebrow.
