PLATINUM

Sapphire & Diamond Ring

This exceptional PLATINUM, sapphire and diamond ring will dazzle you from the first glance.

Outstanding estate quality, these three sapphires are beyond the normal quality sapphires that are commonly found with their Kashmir-Blue color Sapphires. The ring is crafted in 90% Platinum/10% Iridium and is a size 7.5 but it can also be sized larger or smaller.

In the center is Emerald-Cut Sapphire that is 8.50 m/m X 7.00 m/m, on each side of the center sapphire are 3.50 m/m X 3.50 Triangular-shape Sapphires. All three are will matched for their extraordinary color and balance of size. On each side of the sapphires are round .05 ct. VS grade, G color diamonds (equaling .10 cts. of diamonds). All five stones are bezel set and the three sapphire bezels have a millgrain edge on the bezels. The gross weight (Platinum, Sapphires & Diamonds) equal 3.8 grams. The ring as well as the stones are in pristine condition.

Typically platinum rings will outlast any gold ring by at least 100 years, this ring being only 75 years old and it is still in almost new condition, one could expect at least another 100 to 125 years of wearability,.... this is the major advantage of owning a PLATINUM RING.

Sweetheart Bracelet

Circa 1940's

These classic Sweetheart-Bracelets are becoming more rare with each passing year. They were the ultimate rage during the 1940's, because they were so comfortable to wear and being expandable, they would fit the young girl as well as her larger grandmother.

Crafted in Gold-Filled, this version (American Queen) was made by Pitman & Keeler. The heart is 22 x 21 m/m in size (7/8" x 13/16", while the expandable bracelet is 15.33 m/m wide (5/8"). It will fit a 4-1/2" wrist and will expand to a 11" in diameter for the larger wrist.

Due to their low price, vintage appearance, rarity as well as being extremely comfortable to wear, these bracelets normally sell rather quickly.

Ceylon Sapphire

Old Mine Cut Diamonds

This extraordinary sapphire will dazzle your eyes from the moment that you see it. This finely crafted 14-K white gold heart-shape ring, contains eight Old-Mine-Cut Diamonds (circa-1870's) , equaling .50 cts. total weight.

The ring is in excellent condition with all gemstones being safe and secure. Thus its actual vintage is from three periods of time as explained above.

14-K, Y.G.  HUGE Cameo

Click picture for additional views

#Est-157                                    14-K Y.G.  

Finding such a huge cameo, is indeed a rare find and it is rarely seen in the new or secondary market. This Victorian classic is typical of that 1880's circa, when such hunting motif's were hand carved into this shell cameo. As any cameo collector knows, what makes a cameo valuable is, its size, coloring, motif as well as the quality of the carving with attention given to every detail. In all of these categories, this brooch surpasses the typical and fall into a realm of its own.

The Brooch is 14-K Yellow gold, the bezel edge that has a scroll & floral design (that is typical Victorian), it is 63.00 m/m tall x 51.70 m/m wide ( 2-1/2" tall x 2-1/16" wide), with a gross weight of 18.6 grams (12.0 pennyweight) Its condition is excellent with the exception of a old repair (Look to the left of the dog's tail), this repair is hardly noticeable. Though the brooch is 14-K yellow gold, this pinstem is nickel-silver, (many older brooches used nickel-silver pinstems because of its hardness and stability to insure that the pinstem would not bend out of shape).

Call 20 jewelers or antique dealers in your area or go on-line and search 100 sites, the odds are that you will have difficulty locating even one Antique Cameo, 14-K Gold Brooch, in this large size.

If found, comparable brooch's have Fair Market Values from $625. to $1025., when they are this large and in such good condition.

Only $480.

#E-302                                    14-K Y.G.  

An extremely rare find to be able to run across this Victorian Lavaliere (circa 1890's) that was crafted in in tri-color shades of gold, in such excellent condition. Primarily in yellow gold with a green gold leaf and a light pink gold flower and with its delicate filigree frame, makes this an exquisite choice when searching for that exceptional gift or to add to your collection of fine jewelry.

The Lavaliere is 39 m/m long x 21 m/m wide (1-1/2" long x 13/16" wide), with a 4 m/m faceted amethyst stone. The chain is a twisted rope chain, 18" long. This chain is new, thus it does not fall into the circa 1890 of the lavaliere.
