I thought I'd start a thread for very unique antique and vintage jewelry that's currently for sale somewhere on the web. Price, or value for price, is irrelevant.

This one isn't an antique dream piece for me, or even something I think somebody's gotta buy. But maybe it's a piece just to look at, or even purchase, for somebody with quirky fab taste!:

Art Deco 2.56 Ct Diamond Gold Dragon Ring

This vintage Art Deco dragon ring from the 1930s is truly magnificent! It features a fiery 2.56 carat GIA certified fancy light brownish yellow transitional cut diamond with VS1 clarity held by the mouths of two meticulously crafted 14K yellow gold dragons, symbolizing strength and grace.

That is totally cool! Reminds me a little of Calamity Ware (which I have only ever seen on IG) -- looks beautifully ordinary from a distance but insane up close! And if it's really from the 1930s, that's super-cool!

This is mine. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I love metal and ornate, so this is my casual wedding ring for when I go to the farmers market, kids' activities, run errands. It's very comfy, didn't need resizing, and the old cuts are very sparkly. Goes well with my victorian things.

I really like it. I think I saw a very similar ring for sale somewhere recently and if it hadn't been the wrong size I might have purchased it. Enjoy it!
