Baubles, Bling and the Latest Things

What could be better than something new that’s actually old?  As a lover of all things vintage, thrifting and upcycling… I firmly believe that antique and estate jewelry is superior to new jewelry in every way… quality, style and value.  This ring is a perfect example.  Made from 14-karat white gold, it’s impressive on the hand.  

Reaching from knuckle to knuckle, this rectangular ring is a true celebration of the Art Deco style.  Known for a luxurious feel, sleek lines and symmetry – the 1920’s and 1930’s represented the optimism of the pre-war era.  A cut-cornered piece of black onyx sits center stage inside of an intricate filigree frame.  Enamel accents surround the onyx.  Bold borders of green, black and white add the perfect touch.  The ornamentation continues down the shank of the ring.  A spray of geometric kite and wedge shapes repeat the black and green enamel from the top.  A singular diamond is set in the center of the onyx, offering just the smallest hint of sparkle.  I cannot think of a single modern piece that offers this level of quality, uniqueness or value.  Currently a finger size 6, this ring is available for just $850.00.  Stop in and see it for yourself.
