We wandered the Jardin des Tuileries with my polaroid camera, taking black and white exposures of the world’s most colorful garden. I sat on a bench, gelato in one hand, this ring on the other. He snapped a shot of me against the tall triangular trees. He gestured toward my ring.
“Taking it up a notch again, eh Victoria?”
“Naturally.”
“Was it you or fate that led you to slip on that radiant accoutrement?”
“Instinct my dear, it was instinct.”
This vintage natural blue zircon ring was handcrafted in France around 1940. It showcases a stunning blue zircon at the center, bezel set in weighty 18 karat white gold.

Reserved ~ Arts & Crafts Sapphire Pearl Gold Necklace by Artificers' Guild
Sold Out - $ 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.

Vintage French Sapphire Retro Ring in 18k Gold, Engagement or Wedding Band
$ 1,890.00
When I go to Europe, I always go shopping in London. Sometimes I also go to Paris, other times to Amsterdam, and once in a happy while, I visit the diamond capital of the world, where jewelry shops lines the streets and chocolate stores cap the corners, Antwerp.
I bought this fantastic ring in Antwerp, up the winding stairs of my friends Atelier, up to the top floor where sunlight streams in through skylights making diamonds sparkle and sapphires shimmer. This ring is French in origin, hand crafted in 18 karat gold and set with a single soft blue oval faceted sapphire. The stone measures 7.6 x 6.7 x 3.4 mm and weighs approximately 1.4 carats, it has some slight feather inclusions that are only visible with enhanced magnification. The ring is marked on the back of the shank with the French eagles head and a makers mark. It measures 10 mm north to south and has a low profile, sitting 4.1 mm off the finger, it narrows to 3.5 mm at the back of the band. This ring is a size 7.75 US and could be re-sized to suit, with care being taken to preserve the marks. It weighs 9.9 grams, a weighty and wonderfully comfortable ring. This ring would be equally suitable for a man or a woman.
This Retro ring was made around 1945-50 and would make a fantastic and unique wedding band or engagement ring.

Antique Art Nouveau Sapphire and Diamond Ring, 18k Gold and Platinum c. 1900
$ 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!

The dress was blue and hand sewn with thousands of sequins which traveled in stripes down its length and spilled onto the train, forming a shimmering pool around her feet. She had to look perfect tonight and when she donned this dress, she had a feeling that she’d gotten it just right. She pinned three diamond stars into her hair and added a drop of sapphire at her neck and she was ready.
“Not yet”, her husband said, and she turned to look at him with an inquisitive eyebrow raised, “you need this…”
With that he pulled out a small blue and gold leather box and placed it in her palm. She pushed the little button at the front and the case opened to reveal an exquisite sapphire and diamond ring, the perfect thing to make her the true belle of the ball.
