I have always been partial to the Art Nouveau period – it’s utterly feminine and oh-so-romantic. Featuring enameled flowers of every kind, sinewy lines and organic forms, this brief period (1890-1910) captured my heart from day one. Pieces from this time are predominantly yellow gold, a rich color tone that brings warmth and enhances the enamel that is often present. It is a period in jewelry that has since influenced other artisans and jewelers to replicate that timeless appeal.

Without further ado, I present to you “The Piece of the Week”! This 18 karat yellow gold ring is truly Art Nouveau inspired. An Old European Cut diamond sits center stage, weighing exactly .76 carat. This gem was hand set by our own Steve Becker here in our expert shop. I love that we chose a diamond that is authentic to the Art Nouveau period to complete the original feeling of this ring.

A delicate milgrained detail cascades down each shoulder perfectly encapsulating the three single cut diamonds held within. These six tiny diamonds have a total weight of .05 carat. A botanical ambiance is created with a series of curved lines that seem to represent vining stems and leaves.

My favorite detail is the small six-petaled flower that is featured on each side of the ring. It’s a small, yet beautiful element that brings the Art Nouveau vibe full circle. This gem has been available on our website for $5000. We are offering it now for the steal-of-a-deal price of just $3,675.00. This ring is an ideal combination, it offers the look and feel of an authentic Art Nouveau piece in a modern new gem. This unbelievable price only lasts a week, buy it now!

“Just like any relationship, it’s all the little things that add up to the big picture.” – Simon G.

As Simon G. so wisely noted, jewelry is often a collection of fine points… details that collaborate and create one stunning piece. This estate ruby ring, signed by the man himself is a prime example of that statement.

At a glance, one would say this is a classically beautiful ring. The initial impression reveals a traditional three stone motif centered on a deep red natural ruby. Weighing 2.57 carats, the rich tone of this stone creates a focal point for the eye. Flanking this beauty are a pair of perfectly matched princess cut diamonds. These two stones have a combined weight of .35 carats. Simple so far, yes?

Now, let’s get to those subtle details that make a Simon G. ring truly special. Resting slighting underneath the center ruby is a delicate halo of round brilliant diamonds. It perfectly encases the entire three-stone portion. The shank splits into two delicate parallel lines, each hand set with sparkling diamonds as are both sides of the ring. There are ninety round brilliant diamonds in all totaling .50 carat. Finally, further accenting these bright white diamonds are rows of small beads, a technique that has been used since the Edwardian period called milgrain.

Simon G. pieces are polished on every surface; the top, back, interior, and underneath glisten. Every stone is set by hand. A ring like this, classically traditional with a nod to modern aesthetics, has us wondering why it’s still here. It’s a perfect choice for The Piece of the Week! Previously priced at $6,000, this vision is now available for just $4,450.00. Don’t miss this unbelievable deal!
