This late Victorian ‘toi et moi’ bypass is a piece from the collection that, for years, I’ve held especially close. Two Old European cut diamonds poise like lovers in embrace, their broad facets catching the light with that unmistakable, candle-like glow unique to antique stones. The gold of the crossing shoulders and multi-prong baskets lends warmth and stability to the bright and flickering diamonds, creating a graceful interplay of dynamism, tension, and resolution. Though listed with reluctance, I list it with love. Tap the tag for details or follow the link in our profile. Item Q4379.

Wouldn’t it be magical to unwrap this beauty for the holidays? 💖 This early 1900s Belle Époque ring has been a treasured part of my personal collection, but the time has come for it to delight someone new. The whimsical design—featuring a marquise cut diamond set in a floating bezel, framed by ruby accents and seated in a subtly engraved 18K gold and platinum mount—has always garnered myriad compliments. Quick, before I change my mind! Tap the tag for details or follow the link in our bio. Item Q3640.

An antique solitaire so captivating from every angle that it felt necessary to post longer clips than usual! Hand-engraved orange blossoms envelop the shoulders as they taper to meet an ornate basket that resembles a tiny crown of fleur-de-lis. The diamond, a 1.15 carat Old European Cut, displays bold flashes of light from its broad facets. We believe this piece dates to c. late 1910s–1920s (post-WWI) while borrowing heavily from earlier Victorian aesthetics. Tap the tag for details or follow the link in our profile. Item Q4457.

This c.1920s ring features an old cut diamond enveloped in exquisite engraving. I’m particularly fond of the tripartite shoulder detailing, which recalls the petals of a tulip - a welcome springtime harbinger of brighter days ahead. I’d pair it with an equally ornate white gold band (this one, item Q4393 is not yet listed - DM with interest). The diamond ring, item TS480, is tagged here and linked in our bio!

Tucked inside this luminous sapphire and diamond Victorian half hoop band is the maker’s mark “A&W” for Alabaster & Wilson, a small but renowned jewelry house established in 1887 in the historic Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham, England. Certainly the gems and golden scroll carvings are lovely, but such hidden historical tidbits are truly the icing on our cake! Find more info via the tag or the link in our profile. Item TS368.

Two juicy rubies sidle up to a chunky Old Mine Cut diamond in this unique Victorian three-stone ring. Crafted circa the mid-late 1800s, the design leans Etruscan Revival in its use of granulation (gold bead accents) but with foliate shoulders that anticipate Art Nouveau motifs.

We’re back! Thanks for your patience while we took a break.

This piece weds the old with the new, beautiful with the practical, and bold with the soft-spoken. It’s a direct mold / casting reproduction of a Victorian-era Neoclassical ring, set with an estate rose cut diamond. Crafted of 18K green gold, which has a bright silvery hue that perfectly compliments the foliate design motifs and the soft shimmer of the center stone. The diamond’s cut maximizes finger “real estate” coverage while allowing for a very low-profile ring overall, making for a more subtle and pragmatic design.

Fresh on the site today! A dozen antique rose cut diamonds encircle a 1+ carat natural sapphire in this late-1800s Victorian cluster ring. We’re especially drawn to the warm, coppery antique gold as a contrast to the deep, cool blue of the center stone. Find it via the tag or the link in our profile. Item TS441.
