A Georgian-era pansy form ring, modeled in high karat gold, whose petals are set with faceted garnet and chrysoberyl gems. This little flower is highly-dimensional, thanks to the slight pitch of its petals, and the alternating colors of these petals add a loves me, loves me not suggestion to this traditional sweetheart motif. The ring's ornate split shoulders and reeded shank are shapely, unusual, and joined by a delicate shell-like medallion. Pansy is the "think of me" flower,

Art Deco Era Omne Trium Perfectum Old Cut Diamond Panel Ring in Platinum

An early 20th century engagement ring, modeled in platinum, whose primary gem is a .38 carat old European cut diamond. This eye-shaped ring is softly-bombe and brimming with beautiful details— delicate knife-wire sections flank the central diamond's squarish seat, and languid, diamond-set bows decorate the ring's shoulders. Additional bead-set diamonds add sparkle to the gallery.

Antique Knife Wire & Bows OEC Diamond Engagement Ring in Platinum

A Victorian-era, intaglio-carved, bloodstone signet ring, modeled in 15k yellow gold, whose subject is a horse with a docked tail and a noble bearing. This old intaglio was carved by a deft, elegant hand, and there’s something especially moving about the scale of the horse, and its stark placement, in the middle of an otherwise empty field. The bloodstone is heavily flecked with bright red figuring that seems to cling to the surface of the gem; The ring's bezel is broad and smooth.

Victorian Era Horse Intaglio Bloodstone Signet Seal Ring in 15k Gold

A striking Art Deco era engagement ring, modeled in platinum, featuring a 1.09 carat transitional cut diamond. This lovely central gem (F/SI1) rests in a slim milgrain bezel. It is supported by a bevy of smaller diamonds (both early modern brilliant cuts, and old mine cuts), that fill up both sides of the ring's ornate gallery, and decorate its open-work face. We especially love the diamond-set, cutaway, forked-pennant decor that flanks the primary diamond, like a pair of prim little collars.

Art Deco Era Bezel & Pennant 1.09 Carat Diamond Engagement Ring in Platinum

An Arts & Crafts period shield-shaped ring, modeled in 14k yellow gold, whose natural, baroque, saltwater pearl hovers amid a colony of swirling fronds. These naturalistic forms are hand-built, and their hand-applied hammered texture is especially striking. They also function as "prongs," holding the pearl in place. Larger, natural, old, saltwater pearls like this one are becoming a rarity— this one is white; it has a lovely iridescent (rainbow) lustre, compelling shape and texture.

1960s x 1800s Phoenix Intaglio Seal Wirework Cocktail Ring in 18k Gold

An Art Deco era ring, modeled in 18k white gold, whose diamond-set bypass shank cradles a long, rectangular arrangement of three bezel-set sapphires. These vibrant, created blue gems are set end to end inside their long bezel, and the early modern brilliant cut diamonds that frame them are bead set. This elegant ring is all original and its condition is outstanding— it would make a lovely anniversary ring (three year or five year), or alternative wedding band.

Art Deco Era Three Stroke Sapphire & Diamond Bypass Ring in Platinum

A vintage snake ring, with a serene, minimalist presence, modeled in three colors of 18k gold. This sweet, dignified serpent wraps the finger three times, and each of its three colors (rose, yellow, and white) are especially vibrant. Snakes have long been regarded as guardians, so this ring makes a lovely statement as a protective amulet. It is also flattering in wear and very comfortable, making it an ideal alternative wedding band.

Antique Egyptian Revival Faience Scarab Ring with Festoon Bezel in 18k Gold

An unusual mid century cocktail ring, with modernist sensibilities, modeled in 14k gold to suggest a clutch of four snakes striking out in different directions. Two of the snakes in our little nest of vipers have heads that are embellished with bead-set white diamonds, the other two have heads that are polished smooth. This design has outstanding movement and contrast, and it is very flattering in wear.
