Engagement Rings

When most of us here about vintage jewelry, visions of our grandmother’s jewelry box are conjured up. But of course, vintage extends way back. One thing you can be sure of? Vintage is always part of our fashion landscape in one form or the other. Almost all fashion trends have been built upon another. To some, this might sound unoriginal. To others, its a beautiful and enduring connection to our past, individually and collectively.

Check out this amazing vintage piece:

Estate Platinum Diamond Pear Shape Ring with a center diamond weighing approximately 1.40ct (M/N, VS2), nineteen round diamonds weighing approximately .75ct (H-I, SI1-I1) and thirty two tapered baguette diamonds weighing approximately 2.10ct (G-H-I, VVS2-‘VS2). The ring weighs 15.75 grams and appraises for $13,500 from Arizona Gem Lab (appraisal included).

Pyrite is a common mineral that is called several other names, most notably Marcasite and Fools Gold. Pyrite is also a Greek word that means fire (for obvious reasons); it’s a beautiful mineral and resembles gold with its sparkle and luster.

It’s also appearing in a number of indie jewelry designers’ collections, such as Jamie Joseph, Melissa Joy Manning and Robindira Unsworth. Pyrite pairs nicely with this Fall’s 2012 fashions and is affordable.
