# E-162              1.58 ct. T.W               ESTATE

"Fabulous Ceylon Sapphire"

My heart almost skipped a beat, as my stone buyer handed me a package of sapphires that he just purchased on a buying trip to Asia. What fanatic color, was my first thought. Since I only had a few of these exceptional sapphires, and I knew each one would have to be used in a very special item.

This 18-K W.G. ring was part of a estate that I purchased, it is not old, but a reproduction of an older design. I had removed the center diamond for my client, to be used for other purposes. Thus for months I pondered about a proper center stone to complement this ring. At last looking at these sapphires, I knew I had found what I was searching for, one of these exceptional sapphires.

This Ceylon Sapphire is 1.25 ct, and there are 28 diamonds in the shank that equal .33 ct. SI, G-H. For a total Gemstone weight of 1.58 ct. T.W. The ring is 7.52 m/m wide, size 7, and 6.2 grams gross weight. It is in "like new, excellent condition". If sapphires "are your thing", then this is a ring that should not be passed up. I wish that I could obtain another lot of sapphires, at the same reasonable price, but I am not sure when or even if it is possible again.

# 5906           "One Of A Kind"         18-K Y.G.

"570 Million Year Old Trilobite"

As I held this ancient fossil in my hands, I tried to get into the mindset of a Goldsmith 5300 years ago, so as to create this "One Of A Kind" creation. My intention was to utilizing the same primitive goldsmiths methods as other creations were made millenniums ago.  After a bit of research, I discovered that Ancient Sumerian Pictographs was the oldest writing on this earth. While researching these ancient pictographs, I was able to discover a decorative symbols and writing that would reflect the mysteries of "Mankind, Earth & God" as it would have influenced a Sumerian Goldsmith so long ago.

This ring is "hand- fabricated and forged" in heavy 18-K yellow gold, the black fossil is a 570 million year old Trilobite. Around the bezel, I hand engraved (in the same primitive method) a decorative pattern that is actually a "message and statement" reflecting mankind's association with earth, god and the eternity, as per their understanding in this time period.

The Pictographs are Circa 3300 BC

The Ancient Sumerian Pictographs on the bezel read.....

# E-237                                             ESTATE

Circa 1880's

This "Dusting-Powder Compact" from the 1880's is indeed an exceptional find.

From the Victorian Period, when every lady carried a bit of dusting powder for that occasional freshening up for the gentleman.

This hinged compact is 2-1/4" x 2-1/4" in diameter. It is beautifully "Engine-Turned" (a process of mechanical and hand work, that would that a few hours to apply to this item). On the inside is the the container and moving cover, that is used to insert the powder, and a "shaker hole" that is used to sprinkle the powder onto ones self. Crafted in Nickel Silver, with a chain and "Bow-Ring". This "Bow-Ring was used, to tie the Dusting-Powder Compact" to their dress, if they were without a purse, or it was used as a "finger ring" to "secure" the compact to ones self.

On the front is a oval floral Cloisonné decoration, with a "Black Background". Because of its "black background", it is very possible that this item was also used a "Mourning Jewelry", during a period of mourning after the death of a loved one.

"A Victorian Classic"

Only $240.
