This refined and elegant ring from the late Edwardian era (1901-1910) features 3 creamy pearls interspersed by two sets of two old cut diamonds arranged within a boat shaped cartouche. The pearls are luminous with a lovely iridescence, providing a subtle contrast to the diamonds' sparkle. The heart motif engravings on the shoulders add a whimsical touch. The ring is crafted in rich 18k yellow gold that has developed a lovely antique patina. This is an everyday ring, sitting low on the hand, comfortable, and very stackable, which makes it the perfect wedding or anniversary band. This ring has a full set of crisp hallmarks from the Chester Assay Office in the UK, which closed in 1962, making this ring even more desirable and collectible.

The ring is in excellent antique condition. Gently cleaned and ready to wear. The box pictured is not included with the purchase.

Antique and vintage jewelry are sold as is. They are pre-owned and will bear signs of wear commensurate with their age, which may or may not have been stated in the product description. Metal surfaces could have light marks or scratches, and rings may be out of round. The stones, too, could have surface wear or sometimes chips. Evidence of repair could also present itself as imperfections, due to the general techniques and instruments available at the time.

This ring combines a distinctive style with the finest quality. Designed as an oval concave panel, a cluster of Old Mine Cut diamonds “floating” in the center creates visual interest set against the alternating rows of Calibre Cut sapphires and Rose Cut diamonds. The contrast between the bright, radiant diamonds and the velvety blue sapphires is stunning. There is a geometric element in the design, foreshadowing the Art Deco era which would emerge ten or so years after this ring’s debut. However, small bow details studded with diamonds remind us that this was a beauty created very much during the heart of the Edwardian period. The ring would have been crafted entirely by hand c.1907. It’s a lovely ring that would make the most imaginative engagement ring as well as a stylish right hand ring.

The Snake chain is a smooth, flexible chain made of tightly interlocking curved plates that result in a seamless sequence that form a tubular form. The chain is continuous without individual links or gaps. It drapes fluidly, moving in smooth waves rather than as a segmented drop, hence the name, Snake chain. It has a subtle texture that reflects light evenly and sits beautifully on the neck. This vintage chain has a good weight to it, making it an ideal partner for most pendants and lockets. The length is perfect for wearing with just about any neckline.

The focus of this ethereal antique Russian bangle is the rectangular emerald-cut amethyst that is set on a bias. The amethyst has a deep, vivid purple tone and wonderful transparency that draws the eye. It is likely of Siberian origin, considered the highest grade and rare because the deposits are now exhausted. It’s hard to miss the wonderfully detailed and meticulous metalwork surrounding it – the delicate prongs and the scrollwork. The tulip motifs next to the diamonds date this piece to the 1870s. The thin rolled wire detailing lines the edges of the bangle, adding texture and rich visual display. The side Old Mine cut diamonds add a lovely contrast to the velvety purple.

The hinged bangle, handcrafted in a slightly rose toned 14k, has acquired a deep antique patina over the years and looks lovely by itself or layered with other bangles and chain bracelets.

Preserved in excellent antique condition, with light wear consistent with age and use. There is a minor, very shallow depression in the inner band, which is invisible when worn and has no impact on its beauty or functionality. The hidden box clasp fits tightly and closes with a perfect snap. The safety catch adds an extra layer of protection. Gently cleaned and ready to wear.
