“Diamonds. Diamonds. I don’t mean rhinestones, but diamonds are a girls best friend.”

Marilyn Monroe crooned these words in 1953. And while they are undeniably true, the sentiment surely had to have begun much earlier. No one could have laid eyes on the featured piece in our “What’s New” category this week without being smitten. Personally, I have declared it to be my new BFF!

This buxom beauty was crafted near 1915 in the Edwardian era. With a harlequin type pattern, the setting of this ring has all the earmarks of the time… delicate milgrain beaded edges, hand-pierced cut-outs and old cut diamond trim. The platinum metal has been polished to a pristine shine. Together, all of these details combine to create the ideal setting for that dreamy center stone.

An Old European Cut dazzler, this diamond weighs approximately 1.48 carats. It presents with bright white color, hitting the chart at “I”. The clarity grade is VS2 – quite clean. It’s a true beauty. The ring itself measures 3/4 of an inch from top to bottom. The physical size is impressive and yet completely wearable. Perfect on any digit you choose, personally I would wear it on my index or middle finger. A true antique, this authentic ring is available now for just $10,750.00. Stop by the store and check it out for yourself.

I can just hear Stevie Wonder crooning… “Isn’t she lovely? Isn’t she wonderful?” This latest edition to our estate department is both of those things. Crafted near the turn of the century in the early 1900’s, this Edwardian dream is a vision of 14 karat yellow gold with a platinum top.

With an elongated shape, it flatters and lengthens the finger. Shown up close, you can see the intricate details that created the overall ambiance of the ring. Delicate wires spiderweb between the rectangular center and the sculpted sides. A kite-shaped accent nestles into the opening of the split shank.

A combination of Old European and rose cut diamonds add a dazzling array of sparkle. Glittering from every angle are twenty-one diamonds with a combined weight of nearly .75 carat.

From behind, you can see the beauty of the open wire work as well as the cut-outs on the edge. New to our site, this gem is moderately priced at $2,450.00. Check it out for yourself!

This week, Dana and I stumbled on a little gem that has us tied up in knots…. or a bow. We’re in love with this 18 karat white gold Edwardian ring. It’s detail after detail of antique excellence. A hexagon-shaped top holds the center stone – a transitional cut European diamond that weighs approximately .35 carat.

Elegant filigree decorates both sides of this early 20th century gem. The detail is precise – featuring a botanical vibe. This fine wirework is accented with milgrain beading – a classic Edwardian element. While each of these things are essential to the overall appeal of the ring, it’s those bows that we are so enamored with.

Each shoulder is meticulously decorated with a loosely tied double loop bow. The asymmetrical trailing tails add feminine and whimsical style. Bows have been fashionable since the 17th century when the Marquise de Sévigné pinned one at the center of her bodice. A painting of her wearing a bow brooch in this fashion hangs in the Musée Carnavalet in Paris – celebrating the style and guaranteeing the popularity of the bow for centuries to come.

These unusual details are the very things that make each antique ring special and uniquely you. Made in 1915, this beauty would make a perfect engagement ring or a right-hand ring. Priced at just $825, this sweet bit of bow bling won’t last long. Call today to make it yours.
