Beautiful! I especially like the interior scrollwork of the ring.

Sapphires are one of my favorite gemstones, in addition to being my birthstone. I used to hate them as a teenager since they were the same as my high school''s colors (blue & white), but now I love them.

Wow they''re great. How wide is the bracelet? I love the scrollwok on the ring.

I''m fond of it, but not attached. It''s older work by Le Vian. I say I''m not attached because I''m getting ready to use it to set up a few trust funds and put my kids through college.

 

[neelyjohns]

the ring is about 1/2 in. wide. there are about 400 stones total with a combined wieght of a little over 100K, set in 18k

MY WORD!!!!The sapphires look like the ocean and the diamonds look like waves!!!!

Are these pieces which you own? Or pieces which you sell? Just curious.

Nice scroll work.

Are these Deco pieces from the 20s? Very beautiful.

They are older, but I''m not sure how old. They were made by an Isreli family that moved to Paris, Le Vian. They do a lot of work for a little gig called The Miss America Pagent.
