Stunning Snake Ring Ruby Diamond 15k Gold
$ 1,200.00
“It is my prayer, it is my longing, that we may pass from this life together—a longing which shall never perish from the earth, but shall have place in the heart of every wife that loves, until the end of time; and it shall be called by my name.” - Eve (Mark Twain)
The serpent has had a place in mythology since man has been man. Chased from the Garden of Eden, sprouting from the head of a Gorgon, a dual symbol of good and evil, of medicine and poison, of fertility and revenge. Perhaps the duality of our own human nature has led every culture throughout humankind to both revere and revile them. To the Egyptians they were a symbol of royalty, to the Hindi a sign of passion, to the Romans they represented undying love. When Prince Albert proposed to Queen Victoria, it was at the height of a fashion revival for all things ancient and he presented her with a ring composed of two intertwined snakes to symbolize their unity and eternal love. Thus began both the engagement ring and the Victorian love affair with the serpent.
This magnificent single snake ring is set with a lively combination of diamonds and rubies. Hand crafted around 1870 in 15 karat gold, this beautiful ring contains two old European cut diamonds which together weigh .2 carats and two small rose cut diamonds eyes. It is further set with two rich pink rubies which together weigh .2 carats, one is round faceted and the other is cushion cut. The ring has no marks and has been carefully acid tested to verify the gold content. The face of this ring measures 5.6 mm north to south and 20 mm across, it sits 4.4 mm off the finger and narrows to 2 mm at the back of the band. This size 7.75 US ring weighs 3.2 grams.
This wonderfully sparkly ring would make a glorious engagement or wedding ring, the Victorians would approve!

Edwardian Moonstone Diamond Platinum Ring Dome
$ 4,850.00
I love Saturday’s in France. We take a train out of Paris to the wonderful city of Reims, the capital of the Champagne region in France. At a quaint house almost in the country we visit with a dealer who we’ve been buying from long enough that she’s now a good friend. She and her daughter make us wonderful meals and serve us the best wine and bubbly and we spend the day with them, laughing and catching up and, of course, looking at fabulous jewels. This ring reminds me a bit of the yummy champagne we drink, the array of rose cut diamonds sparkling like the bubbles in my glass.
This Art Deco era French ring is set with 56 rose cut diamonds and one fabulous high dome of moonstone. This ring is beautifully hand crafted in platinum, with each stone set into a mill grain edged diamond that gives it the feel of leaves or feathers. The diamonds are two sizes, 44 of them are 2-3 mm across and 12 are about 1.5 mm across and they add up to a carat weight of about .4 carats. The fabulous blue moonstone is cabochon cut and measures 6.1x6.1x4.3 mm and weighs approximately 1.15 carats. There is beautiful engraving around the edges of the ring, which measures 17.6 mm north to south and 20.5 mm across and narrows to 2 mm at the back of the band, it sits 9 mm off the finger. This ring is a size 7 US and could be resized to suit, it shows some signs of having been sized up in the past. It is marked on the outside of the band with what appears to be a French hallmark of some sort, although it is too rubbed to identify, we have acid tested it to verify it’s platinum content.

Georgian Amethyst Rose Cut Diamond Ring
$ 1,850.00
A ring like this one was likely the first jewel that would be worn when a Goeorgian lady was moving out of the first year of mourning, purple was the first color that could be introduced after wearing all black for a year, and along with white and gray, could be added in little splashes, like this fabulous ring.
This hand crafted ring was made in England in about 1830, it is set with one step cut rich purple amethyst which has been out and weighed at 2.36 carats, it measures 91.x7.6x4.9 mm, on each side of the center stone are two rose cut diamonds with fabulous sparkle, 2 are 3 mm and 2 are 3.5 mm each. The ring measures 9.9 mm north to south at the front and sits 4.9 mm off the finger, it is a size 7. This ring is unmarked but tests as 15 karat gold and the diamonds are set in silver, it weighs 2.6 grams.
This Georgian Dame got a little new life breathed into her old bones of late, she was in rough shape when we found her, so we opened up the back and removed the discolored foil, we left the bezel open, this way it can be worn and enjoyed and cleaned! We think we dusted her up pretty good!

Antique Moonstone Demantoid Garnet Ring Silver Arts and Crafts Era
$ 550.00
One year I grew brussels sprouts in my garden. When I planted the little seedlings at the end of one of my raised beds, I have to admit that I had no idea how big these plants would get, as it turns out these plants get huge! I remember how few sprouts we got that were actually edible, but how beautiful the giant blue green leaves of the plant were. They always seemed to have a special glow by moonlight when I would take a midnight stroll down my garden paths. This ring reminds me of that summertime garden glow, the deep green of the garnets, the bright glow of the stone, the scatter of flowers, shining silver in the moonlight.
This wonderful Arts and Crafts era ring was hand crafted around 1900. The silver ring is set with a most beautiful blue glowing moonstone of some 3.07 carats and is accented with 12 green demantoid garnets, each 2x2 mm in size. The face of this ring measures 22 mm north to south and 18 mm across, it is a size 6.25 and weighs 6.1 grams. This ring is unmarked and tests as silver.
