Sale pending! This is an a really pretty diamond band from the late Art Deco period circa 1930-1940. It is a size 5.75, and is sizeable. The diamonds look to me like a mix of transitional/early RB's and OEC's, and are set in platinum in delicate bezels with milgrain. The shank is 18k yellow gold, and is hallmarked 18k and plat. There is an engraving on the inside of the shank: "CIVO 1939 66". Approx 1.3 grams. I don't know the carat weight of the stones, but they have a pretty sizable presence on the hand. The stones are all very bright and white. They are all well matched. I don't see any color in the stones- I think they are F-G. All the stones are eye clean, but the center stone has a small natural on the table- I tried to get a picture of it- see last photo. It is not visible under normal viewing conditions, only when looking very closely in the right lighting. I love this ring, but I am not wearing it very much, and have decided I am just not a five-stone person, so I am hoping to find it a good home and raise funds for another project. Reasonable offers welcome! Price includes shipping with insurance within the continental US. If you are outside of the US, please contact me for a shipping quote. This will be a final sale unless I have misrepresented the ring as I am a private seller. Paypal preferred. The other rings shown in the pictures are not included in this sale. I am new to LT, but I have had many happy transactions on DB- feedback available upon request. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, or if you would like any additional pics- I have lots :) If I do not reply to your message within 24 hours, please re-send your message.

Exquisite size 5.75 antique platinum ring covered with hand engraving and milgrain with a 5.8mm round rose cut diamond (approx .55ct) and four tiny brilliant cut side stones. The diamond is beautiful- very clear, white and bright. It is eye clean, and has no damage, only minor bearding on the girdle. It is mesmerizing- it is like looking into a pool of colored light. it picks up all the colors around you and has giant rolling pastel blocks of light for facets. I bought this ring last year from Jewels by Erica Grace, then had my jeweler replace the four side stones (they were super dark and completely opaque- not very nice) with tiny bright G/VS stones, and cover the ring with hand engraving and mil grain. The engraving goes all around the shank, but my jeweler says the ring can be sized by an experienced jeweler. The stone is not certified, but David Atlas looked at it and did a Qualitative Pre- Sale Report for JBEG before I bought it. From the D. Atlas and Co. Inc. Qualitative Pre-Sale Report: “Antique platinum solitaire ring. 2.2dwt, 4mm shank at shoulder tapers to 1.7mm at base. Top is 8.8mm wide. 6 prong illusion style setting with bead set sidetones. 1 high dome, modern rose cut diamond 5.8x 1.7mm, est 0.55ct, H/I Si1, GIA.” The illusion setting gives the center stone a really big look- almost 9mm! I am in love with this ring, but sadly do not wear it very often. It is a little too fancy for my everyday jeans and t-shirt style and it makes me sad to see it sitting in the jewelry box, so I am hoping to find it a new home where it will see the light of day! Sorry, I am not interested in trades at this time. Reasonable offers welcome! Price includes paypal fees and shipping with insurance within the continental US. If you are outside of the US, please contact me for a shipping quote. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, or if you would like any additional pics- I have lots :) If I do not reply to your message within 24 hours, please re-send your message!

Amazing antique 8.5 x 11mm moonstone cabochon in 10k rose gold crown claw prong setting. The gold is a lovely rosy color. Size 6.5, sizable. The moonstone is very nice quality and is simply exquisite. It is perfectly clear with no inclusions that I can find. It is usually misty light blue, but sometimes more clear or slightly pinkish depending on the light. It is in amazing shape for its age, with only very light surface wear. I love this ring and it is truly one of a kind, but I do not wear it often. I am hoping to find it a good home, but I won’t be too heartbroken if it doesn’t sell :) The price includes shipping with insurance within the U.S. If outside of the U.S. please contact me for a shipping quote. Please email me at shinythingslt@gmail.com since the messaging system has been unreliable. This listing is for the moonstone ring only. I have positive feedback as a seller available upon request.

Sold! Thank you! Lovely setting that previously held an antique cushion diamond measuring 5.8 x 6.4mm and 4.2 mm deep. Size 5.75, completely sizable with sizing bar. Very beautiful, delicate and well made. Has only had the diamond set in in before, and it was removed carefully by my jeweler. The setting was polished as well. My jeweler says it should have decent leeway to set a new stone .5mm to 1mm ish bigger or smaller, round, cushion or square. This is a direct repro of an antique ring, and so is a fairly lightweight setting. It is extremely detailed and fine for a cast ring. I was very impressed with the quality of it. The price includes paypal fees and shipping with insurance within the U.S. If outside of the U.S. please contact me for a shipping quote. Please email me at shinythingslt AT gmail.com. Feel free to contact me with any questions. If I do not reply to your message within 24 hours, please re-send it. Since I am a private seller, this will be a final sale.

This piece is amazing. I've never seen another one like it. A flawless hand carved mother of pearl horse head wears a rosy-golden bridle with lovely engraved detailing. The horse head has hand painted enamel features, some of which have rubbed off with age, but could be restored by a jeweler who works with antiques. Originally it was a watch fob but it makes a lovely and unique pendant. It will come to you on a long yellow gold filled chain. The chain could easily be swapped out for solid gold chain at the length of your choosing, or a rose gold chain--the rosy gold bridle looks good against either metal. Please convo me for more details if interested. Price includes PayPal fees and shipping within the US. If outside of the US, please contact me for a shipping quote.

SOLD This ring is mesmerizing. The paste gemstone is an intense bright glowing blue emerald cut with big faces that just draw the eye in. The stone is original to the ring and in great shape, held securely but classic tab prongs. The ring has a beautiful and unique deco design on the shoulders and profile. It looks good solo or stacked with bands. It is simply lovely. The stone in good shape, with minor wear and dings commiserate with age. They are not readily noticeable when the ring is worn and do not detract from the stone's beauty. The stone is foil-backed which helps with that depth and glow, but means special care must be taken to keep it dry. The backing is in great condition and it is ready for many more years of wear. These art deco paste rings are highly-collectible and are getting more and more difficult to find these days. I adore this one and am only rehoming since I acquired it with a sister ring that was just like it! Size 3.5, probably size-able by a jeweler experienced with antique jewelry.
