Pick of the Week – Volume 43

Baubles and Bling with Unbelievable Pricing

We introduced these beauties about three years ago…  crafted from 14 karat gold in the mid-1900’s, these earrings were originally made for a baby.  Unique features such as short threaded posts and safety backs were a clear signal that these petite jewels were meant to worn by an infant or toddler.  

As sweet as they were, there were a couple minute details that bugged us.  Here are some before pictures.  Do you see what we saw?

The color of the gold didn’t match…  one earring was a touch more rosy than the other.  Plus, those posts were SO short!  We weighed the options:

  • Was it better to keep them original and wait for that one perfect customer?
  • Or was it better to switch the posts and polish the earrings so that they matched?

Dana and I made an executive decision and chose option two.  Check out the subtle transformation…

By switching to standard length friction posts and backs, these beauties can now be worn by anyone.  With thirty years of expertise, our in-house jeweler applied a very light polish and brought the earrings back to their original matched finish.  A couple small tweaks have taken these vintage gems from a “hard sale” to simple and effortless.  

Two round diamonds are nestled within square milgrain-edged borders. With a combined weight of .40 carat, these diamonds are further enhanced with subtle engraved patterns on the surrounding gold margins.  With more to offer than typical diamond stud earrings, these sweet gems have us completely enchanted.  

We revamped the pricing as well.  Previously listed for $1,100.00, we are now offering them for just $775.00!  Click the photos to check them out on our site.  Vintage diamond earrings are tough to find – don’t let these ones pass you by.  Nab them while you can!

Joe’s Special Box – Volume 6

Baubles, Bling, and A Collector’s Things

Just when you thought nothing could be sweeter than the Victorian baby rings I shared last week…  here are a precious pair of baby earrings!  Perhaps you’re wondering how I know they’re baby earrings?  These side views may give you a clue…

 

Made from 10 karat white and yellow gold in the mid 1900’s, these earrings have threaded posts that are quite a bit shorter than the standard length.  In addition, the posts have been fitted with a pair of safety backs.  They’re designed with a loop covering the tip of the post – preventing it from digging into a baby’s delicate skin.  

I can’t get enough of these mountings!  The square shape is artfully carved with scrolled lines and kite-shaped corners – the perfect setting for the pair of sparkling round brilliant diamonds winking from the center.  With a total weight of .40 carats, they are ideal for daily wear.  

These earrings could easily be converted to regular length posts, allowing them to be worn by anyone.  They’re available on our site for just $1100.00.  Take some advice from George Strait and “Baby Your Baby” or baby yourself with these little beauties today!
