Baubles, Bling, and A Collector’s Things
This week, I uncovered a pair of unique modern rings, both signed “Luna Felix” – a world renowned jeweler made famous for her abstract designs and unusual gemstone choices.
Handcrafted from a brassy 22 karat yellow gold, this triple-banded open-shank ring features one rough diamond as the center stone. The stone is in it’s original state, just as it was when it came out of the ground. The band of gold housing this natural beauty is decorated with an Old World technique called granulation – tiny beads of gold cover the surface of the bezel. This Etruscan revival styled knock-out can be yours for just $1500.
If one is good, two is better… the perfect complement for the split shank Luna Felix stunner is this exceptional enchantress. Evoking images of ancient Egyptian pyramids, the monolithic center is crowned by a singular square sapphire. A snake-like band of woven gold creates a flexible silken shank… priced well at $800.
While most of the pieces in Joe’s Special Box are vintage treasures, I was not surprised to find these two modern gems. Their exquisite craftsmanship and unmatched quality make them truly special indeed.
