Baubles, Bling, and Complementary Things
I have to admit, I’m super excited about these cool companions…ย a ring and a watch.ย Typically, this edition of the blog is for a pair of pieces that are perfectly suited to a man and a woman.ย However, this week, we’re offering something a bit more fluid.ย The two timepieces could be enjoyed by a man and a woman – but would work just as well for two women – they could be partners, gal pals or mother and daughter.ย Two men could also share this pairing.ย A unique twist to consider… these unusual finds could also be fitting accessories for just one person (not to be selfish, but sometimes we don’t have to share!).ย ย
This dynamic duo offers simplistic style and functional flare.ย First, let’s talk about the ring.ย We have had a handful of ring watches over the years, however, it seems like a trend that never really caught on.ย Most of the ones I have seen tend to be bulky… but this handsome piece is sleek and stylish.ย Made from 18-karat white gold, the oval-shaped face runs parallel with the finger.ย The markers are arabic numbers – created in black enamel, they’re bold and easy to read.ย
The bezel that surrounds the face features an engraved pattern that continues onto the shoulders of the ring.ย Cleverly designed (although I don’t know the actual purpose), the top of the ring is hinged along the left side.ย It opens, leaving the creamy dial of the watch bare.ย Made in the early 20th century, this ring is a winding watch.ย In perfect working condition, simply twist the sapphire crown to get it going.ย Moderately priced at $1,150.00, this ring is SO good.
I wanted something equally cool to pair with the ring – and this wristwatch was the ideal choice.ย Made from 14-karat white gold-filled metal, the watch is small by today’s standards.ย However, at the time, the size and look of this watch was all the rage.ย Manufactured by Bulova in the late 1920’s or early 1930’s, this piece was paired with a strap which has no doubt been replaced many times since.ย Currently it is featuring a stitched gray leather band that offers a vintage vibe.
Much like the ring, the case of the watch is heavily engraved with beautiful patterns.ย The dial of the watch is in great condition and has bold arabic numbers with luminous patina… allowing them to glow in the dark.ย The dial also showcases a natural second hand where the number six would normally be.ย The radium hands of this handsome watch are also luminous – a clever and functional feature, no doubt.ย ย
Etched on the inside of the watch back are the words “Bulova Quality Pat. Jan 11, 1927”.ย Also a winding watch, this gem is in great working condition.ย It’s available for just $450.00.ย Perhaps you have the ideal partner with which to share these two timepieces.ย Or perhaps you are the one and only person who will be enjoying both pieces.ย No matter the case, it’s destined to be a fashion statement unlike any other.ย Not available on our site, you’ll have to give us a ring to make them yours.
