Our 18K Victorian Regard ring is a romantic acrostic ring set in a linear formation, with six gemstones in which the initial letter of each spells the word 'Regard': Ruby, Emerald, Garnet, Amethyst, Ruby, and Diamond. The 18K band is delicately ribbed all around. The overall profile of the ring is slender with gemstones that are the same size. This makes our REGARD ring ideal for stacking, as shown in the photos. Similar to ADORE, DEAREST and DEAR rings, REGARD rings were romantic messag...

This contemporary signet ring is the signet ring for the name Perrott, which hails from England, Scotland, Ireland. The most likely explanation for the name is that it derives from "little Peter", with Peter from the Latin "Petrus", meaning "stone" in Greek. Other similar names are Perrot, Perrin, Perron, Parrell and Perowne. Most of the coats of arms for the Perrott family include the 3 pears seen on this ring. Another variation of the name is that it derived from a nickname for the parrot....

We love the patina of this antique delicate carved amethyst intaglio depicting a charming bird perched on solid ground, beak pointed upward mounted in a later, retro hammered 24K gold band. The ring is substantial at .38 inch high but not overwhelmingly large. At almost 14 grams and 24K (stamped), this ring is solid gold yet feels surprisingly light. This modern looking signet ring is easy to wear and marries beautifully with other rings. Not to be missed. The ring fits a size 9-9.5 finger.

The ‘toi et moi’ style describes an engagement band on a coiled band, with two gemstones coming together where the band meets around the finger. The toi et moi translates to "you and me" and symbolizes the union of two people, a wonderfully romantic sentiment. Our Toi et Moi diamond ring has two rose cut diamonds set in a yellow gold band trailed by 5 graduated accent diamonds on each side along. The piece de resistance is the small diamond that endearingly reaches out from each toi et mo...

Our 14K five-days Turkish style harem ring has it all, rubies set forward and pearl accents set back in the band with 5 individual bands connected by an unassuming gold strip in the back. Harem rings were first created as wedding bands in Turkey and later copied by jewelers in Europe and America. Our harem ring can be worn alone or with others and can be dressed up for a grand occasion or dressed down for a night on the town. The ring fits a finger size between a 7-8.

Our 18K (stamped) four band Turkish style harem ring has four individual gold bands held together by an unassuming gold connector to create one stacking ring. Harem rings were first created as wedding bands in Turkey and later copied by jewelers in Europe and America. The design of the ring with its back connector helps keep the stack of slender bands in order. The design of 4 bands in one ring also makes the ring wider and more substantial, it is like buying 4 stacking rings. The design al...

Queen Anne period (1740) large beautifully faceted octagon cut amethyst solitaire ring in a later 18K gold band. This style of jewelry has been historically misnamed for Queen Anne, who reigned from 1695 to 1714, as so called Queen Anne jewelry dates to the mid 18th century. Among other details, we love this ring for its eighteenth century octagonal shape, the quality of the amethyst and the crimped collet gold setting. Beautiful in its simplicity, this ring is sure to attract attention. ...

This Georgian diamond solitaire ring is set in 15K gold and has lovely engraved shoulders (also referred to as chased). The old mine cut diamond, chased shoulders and smooth polished gold back (beautiful in its own right) make this ring classically Georgian. There is not a prong visible on this diamond as a Georgian era goldsmith only wanted the diamond to be visible. Diamonds then were set in silver to better set off the cool tones, as is this one. The proportions of this band make it idea...

Charming 18K Victorian diamond cluster ring with 9 diamonds, hallmarked for Birmingham in the year 1892 with a large center rose diamond surrounded by smaller diamonds and hand set with a decorative band of carved flourishes along the shoulders. The diamonds are set in silver. Nineteenth century diamonds are more understated than machine made modern day diamonds and they are always natural. This diamond is set open backed and can safely be worn everyday. This would make a lovely engagemen...

Twentieth Century 14 Karat Blue lapis lazuli signet ring of German or Austrian origin, with initials SVC and a charming intaglio of a stylized castle. The band has a purity mark of 585 on one side and a maker's mark on the other. The ring is hand engraved in the inside of the band with "Van Vater, March 12 1985", German for "From Father, March 12 1985". The ring dates from 1975-1985. It was likely sold by the jeweler as a custom carved engraved signet ring; the lapis stone would have been set in...

18K Pink Tourmaline solitaire ring in a mesmerizing shade of pink set into an open back 18k gold band. This surprisingly modern appearing ring is Victorian, evidenced by the hand work and pink tourmaline; pink and green tourmaline were popular in the 19th century for its considerable beauty and high polish. The gold band flattens out on both sides where it joins the ring head (see last photos). Horizontal piercings along the band are another interesting detail. The detail of the crimped pie crus...

Late Victorian signet ring, hallmarked for the year 1907-1908 and monogrammed with initials WW or MM, carved to a polished gold face and set into a band with carved scrolled shoulders. The ring featured on this listing is modeled on the ring finger. We think it looks great with other signet rings or by itself. The ring is fairly large in scale at over a half inch wide and a half inches tall (1.4 cm North-South and 1.2+ cm East-West), US size 8 and size-able.

The devil is in the details. Every detail of our 18K woven gold gloved hand bracelet with guilloche enamel cuffs are is a beauty to behold. Our bracelet was handcrafted by skillful Georgian goldsmiths who took care to make sure that every part of this bracelet met their exacting standards. And it shows. We call this a "woven" gold bracelet because during the Georgian period goldsmiths were adept at weaving gold so that it resembled and felt more like fabric than metal chain. This weaving styl...

Silver jewelry was made to appeal to the "working girl" who desired beautiful and well made jewelry in European society. After Queen Victoria's Silver Jubilee in the third quarter of the 19th century, silver cuff bracelets were incredibly popular. Silver cuff bracelets extremely collectible today as they were well made and no two pieces were alike, each was unique in its own way. We are particularly enthralled with this modern take on a classical Greek element, a lavender enameled Greek key whi...

Our C1900 14K articulated hinged snake bangle suggests the Greek rod of Asclepius with the serpent wrapped around a staff. The ends of the bracelet are capped with a ball finial which are further capped with a small gold ball. The bracelet tests 14K. There are no identifying marks. Interestingly the textured ball finials each have different scrolled raised pattern and a different gold color. That along with the carved gold scales on the snake's body and clear red garnet eyes are just some of...

This ring has many Georgian era characteristics, including the symmetry of the 10 Georgian diamonds surrounding a central larger diamond, the silver surround of the gemstones and the impressive gold craftsmanship of the fully closed back. The band is 3 horizontal bands linked with 3 vertical elements and is comprised of 4 sections with a carved gold leaf set into each. The leaves are all carved to suggest veining, adding to the ring's appeal. Our ring is an early precursor to what would la...

Delightful Victorian hallmarked 1865 Birmingham multi-stone ring with two large diamond shaped garnets in the center, surrounded by emeralds and enveloped by a beautifully engraved 15K gold band on either end. We love the contrast in both size and color of the stones. The final photos show how pleasing rings from this decade of 1860-1870 look together on the hand. This ring is not sizeable because the band is engraved all around and sizing would ruin the engraved pattern. It is sized US 7 ...
