I adore antique pieces of jewellery and one of my hobbies is to travel to London to go to the big antique jewellery shows. I have tried on some magical out of my price range pieces over the years!

A diamond by the yard necklace made up of 100 carats of old cut diamonds marquis and OEC’s set in platinum this necklace was so long I could wrap it round my neck x3!!!

Cartier tuti fruiti bracelet with rubies emeralds sapphires (which were all carved) and diamonds set in platinum. With the amount that one of these recently sold for at auction with Christie’s it would have been worth remortgaging my home to pay for it was I would have made a killing even after I’d paid the mortgage back!

Here's a "so me" ring, I love the bezels, so blingy but so wearable:

Ugh I actually inquired about this ring thinking I might be able to afford it.. Bahahaha

That center is just a gorgeous rainbow discoball and setting is so unique.

Oh wow.
I'm dumb.

I just saw the bottom number but in her message that I just reread I now see that she said "6,8k" WITH an appraisal for 21k
Well thats not bad at all then!

Never ever thought myself as a marquise diamond gal but I love this- except for the pricetag -

I’m not sure how long you’ve been around but have you ever seen the reproduction David Klass made. I’d argue it’s one of the best things I’ve seen him make 3ED55678-D05F-49A9-90DF-86C34D088650.jpeg

This has sold (thankfully) but this is just amazing and very me because of all the art deco goodness.

@fluffboll The first ring is meant for a star or cat's eye double cabochon [closing eyes to see!]

Ooops! Only now did I notice that this thread focuses on antique/vintage jewellery! :oops::lol: Would a new ring with an old diamond qualify? 84107586_1756920591109234_3924582563045472616_n~2.jpg

I love this ring! I saw that a while back. His craftmanship is perfection!
