Baubles, Bling and Curious Things
In the last few days, we have sold several engagement rings… that is not unusual during the holidays. The Christmas spirit often inspires couples to take the next step. There are two unique qualities that separate the engagement rings of the 2025 holiday season from the engagement rings of previous years.
- First, nearly all of them were made in yellow gold – a trend we haven’t seen since the early 1990’s.
- Second, most of them featured a marquise-cut diamond as the center stone.
It’s no secret that jewelry styles come and go; more often that not, those very same styles will come back into fashion in the future. The recent preference of yellow gold over white gold, platinum or silver was not hard to predict. It was time. White metals had reigned supreme for three decades. Yellow gold is classic; it’s timeless. It’s comeback was inevitable. However, I don’t know if anyone could have predicted the wild popularity of the marquise diamond. We’ve watched fancy shapes trend over the last five years… ovals and pears were key players. But make no mistake, 2025 has been the year of the marquise diamond.
Those two things have me looking at these vintage earrings in an entirely new light. Taking the shape of a pyramid or even a Christmas tree, these unique earrings are made from 14-karat yellow gold. Each one showcases three marquise diamonds; set east/west, these diamonds graduate in size from the top to the bottom. Combined, these sparklers have a weight of approximately .60 carat. Bright and clean – these are not typical earring stones. These are engagement quality diamonds with an average color grade of G-H and an average clarity grade of VS. Priced at just $725.00, they’re certainly affordable.
We can’t help but wonder what you think. Should they have stayed in the 1980’s, never to be worn again? Or do they offer a vintage vibe that you simply cannot resist? Are these earrings hot? Or not?
