Joden Girl
Baubles, Bling and a Lovely Ring
I am a traditional girl – even when it comes to jewelry. I like to wear rings on the ring finger of my left hand… and that’s about it. LOL. Occasionally, I will step out of my comfort zone and wear a ring on the ring finger of my right hand. It’s rare for me to stray from those habits. However, sometimes you have to let the jewelry tell you where or how it wants to be worn. For me, today’s piece is undeniably an index or middle finger ring.
Elongated in shape, this 14-karat white gold and platinum beauty is in pristine condition. Made in the heart of the Art Deco era (circa 1925), it showcases all the earmarks that Deco jewelry is celebrated for. It measures over an inch in length, reaching from knuckle to knuckle on my hand. Three European cut diamonds are set within hexagon settings in the center. Stacked like a snowman, these three gems have a combined weight of 1.00 carat. An additional twenty-two single-cut diamonds outline the scalloped edge… these diamonds have a total weight of .33 carat. Six simulated sapphires decorate the North, South, East and West points of the design. My favorite detail are the tiny pierced openings that add light and life to this antique gem.
Shown from behind, the pattern reminds me of a stained glass window… strong borders highlight the beauty within. Milgrain beading accentuates each line and curve of this mid-1920’s dazzler. Currently a finger size 8, it could be adjusted up or down one size. Moderately priced at $2,850.00, this ring is available in store and on our site. Call or stop by to make it yours.
