My Elongated Diamond Ring Collection



It is no surprise, if you’ve followed me for awhile you know my obsession with these elongated diamond rings. Most of these are circa 1900-1915, and true to era, have Old Mine, Old European and single cut diamonds. The setting is usually done in yellow gold with a platinum-top. Sometimes these types of rings are vintage and come from more recent eras, like my latest addition which is all white gold and most likely from the 1950s. This ring was an Instagram find from one of my favorites to follow, Anderson’s Jewelers. The store is located in Wellesley, MA which is not too far from Boston. The next time I visit Brimfield, I am definitely making a pit-stop! In the meantime, I will continue to shop their Instagram feed because they make it so easy. They consistently post new antique and estate pieces from their inventory and purchasing is easy via direct message.

Most of my elongated diamond ring collection was acquired a few years ago. My best source was eBay actually — they would be listed with large price tags but also had a “best offer” option and I would always throw out a completely random offer. Luckily most sellers accepted my offers and I continued to build my collection from there.

Vintage style engagement ring make the perfect ring for anyone looking to for a diamond with a lower color grade. If you want to know more details then, please contact us in the comment section.

The 7 Biggest Jewelry Trends of the Fall 2019 Season

Image
There are different ways to be sustainable. One that was bandied about a lot this season was the notion of investing in pieces you can keep for a long time. We’re still seeing the chokers, chains, and mismatched earrings of  Spring , so plan to keep those in heavy rotation. Updates to those categories included single feathers at  Louis Vuitton  and strands of linked paper clips at  Stella McCartney . Earrings were twisted into abstract shapes (see  Sacai ,  Acne Studios ), and Calderisms continue to flourish. Adding a surreal twist was the re purposing of coat hooks and drawer pulls as hardware at  Comme des Garçons . Elsewhere, punk accoutrements like safety pins and dog collars spiked the season with some broody, dark romance . The big news, however, was old news.  Celine ’s pivot to an “old Celine” aesthetic was in line with the “lady” look that first appeared last season. Studded at  Christian Dior  and served on the half shell at  Burberry , pearls are back, but they loo
