Talk about a statement piece! Twenty-five inches of rich, buttery 18 karat yellow gold presented in three rows of triple-ribbed rolo links. Made in classic Egyptian revival style, this bold beauty is a celebration of the ancient culture famous for it’s fascination with both life and death.

Spaced intermittently along the length of this necklace are sixty-nine tassels with nine of them suspended from the centerpiece. They vary between one and two inches with each ending in a fluted bell. This fringe style moves and sways creating an enchanting little jingle. The anterior of the center placard features an ornately etched scene – a scarab beetle rolling a dung ball is flanked by a pair of winged insects all held within a geometric border. Flip it over and discover the same scene done in a three-dimensional design starring a Lapis Lazuli inlay.

The scarab beetle has long been a symbol of transformation and resurrection. These small yet historically significant bugs were at the heart of the Ancient Egyptian culture. Additionally, the bee is known to represent community. For thousands of years, civilizations have thrived upon the concept of coming together as a whole to overcome adversity. This showstopper is available now for $12,800.00.

“Just like any relationship, it’s all the little things that add up to the big picture.” – Simon G.

As Simon G. so wisely noted, jewelry is often a collection of fine points… details that collaborate and create one stunning piece. This estate ruby ring, signed by the man himself is a prime example of that statement.

At a glance, one would say this is a classically beautiful ring. The initial impression reveals a traditional three stone motif centered on a deep red natural ruby. Weighing 2.57 carats, the rich tone of this stone creates a focal point for the eye. Flanking this beauty are a pair of perfectly matched princess cut diamonds. These two stones have a combined weight of .35 carats. Simple so far, yes?

Now, let’s get to those subtle details that make a Simon G. ring truly special. Resting slighting underneath the center ruby is a delicate halo of round brilliant diamonds. It perfectly encases the entire three-stone portion. The shank splits into two delicate parallel lines, each hand set with sparkling diamonds as are both sides of the ring. There are ninety round brilliant diamonds in all totaling .50 carat. Finally, further accenting these bright white diamonds are rows of small beads, a technique that has been used since the Edwardian period called milgrain.

Simon G. pieces are polished on every surface; the top, back, interior, and underneath glisten. Every stone is set by hand. A ring like this, classically traditional with a nod to modern aesthetics, has us wondering why it’s still here. It’s a perfect choice for The Piece of the Week! Previously priced at $6,000, this vision is now available for just $4,450.00. Don’t miss this unbelievable deal!
