12 Days of Gifts, Day 4

What could be better than a holiday proposal?! And with this ring you could not go wrong. The show-stopper of our Northampton case - this incredible beauty has a center 1.35ct Old European cut diamond circa late 1800's, accented with other small diamonds on the sides. The platinum setting is early Art Deco with a wheat pattern intricately engraved on the sides as well as on the setting, and accents of milgrain throughout the entire piece. The engraving is in exquisite condition with little signs of age and wear. The diamond specs: K color, SI1 clarity, 1.5tcw, Old European Cut. This would make the perfect gift.

Victorian Engraving

During the Victorian Era it was very common for rings to be inscribed on the inside with small sayings or expressions of love.  These rings, known as "posey" rings were often used as symbols of engagement or as wedding bands.  The 22K yellow gold posey ring featured below reads "Time Shall Tell I Love You Well."

Engraved Victorian Ring

We just sold this beautiful engraved Victorian band made with green, white and yellow gold.  We're sad to see it go but happy it went to a good home!

Art Deco Wedding Bands

Wedding season is upon us! We love diamond Art Deco wedding bands because they can compliment an engagement ring or stand on their own as well, such as this stunning 14k white gold band with seven beautiful diamonds!

Wedding Blog Feature!

So this summer we had the privilege of being in a "mock-wedding" photo shoot with Sandra Costello at Studio SMC, a fantastic photographer from the Pioneer Valley in Western Massachusetts. We supplied all of the jewelry for the shoot, and then she went around to various other vendors in the area and created a beautiful pseudo wedding in a great chic style that is modern and vintage all at the same time. Well, the photo shoot is being published on the blog Style Me Pretty, a very well known bridal blog, which has a section that specifically features Massachusetts Weddings! Check out the blog post here, and see all of the beautiful photos that went along with it! Thanks to Sandra for including us in such a fun and unique project!!

Art Deco Rings

The Art Deco Period was a design movement that began in Paris during the roaring 1920s and quickly spread internationally, continuing on into the 1930s. Art Deco jewelry is characterized by bold, modern design and streamlined, angular geometric shapes. Platinum and white gold were commonly used metals. We love Art Deco rings because they are so elegant and timeless. Featured below are two of our favorite rings in the store right now: A platinum engagement ring with two marquis diamonds on either side of the center stone and a stunning 14K white diamond band.
