Antique Navette Rings

What is your favorite antique style ring?

At the very top of my list of favorite Jewels, sits very proudly, Antique Navette Rings! I love them more than any other material thing. My engagement ring is in this style which was the first I have had the opportunity to own. My love for them though did not start here, my Oma always wore a Victorian Navette ring covered in stunning mine cut diamonds, and is the reason I believe I am always searching for more to collect or to sell in my online store.

Here is a few pic's of the beauties I have found from Mid Victorian - Art Deco.

These last two I have for sale in my ebay store Artifact Jewels.  Artifact Jewels Store

Victorian Jewellery - My first love

                      Victorian Jewellery - My first love

My love of antique Jewellery definitely began after purchasing a silver Victorian bracelet from the 1880's. I  have always adored Jewellery but this new attraction to Jewellery was for me more than a little adoration, it was a deep love, soon to be an obsession! The bracelet I first bought was a wide band solid silver cuff bracelet with beautiful hand engraving of a floral etched pattern. I wondered who this bracelet belonged to, was it a gift? How did it end up in Australia & now in my hands. There is something fascinating about an object that has survived from a time now so far away. The Victorian era was a wonderful era for Jewellery design, pieces overflow with the allure of a romantic idea & symbolism of great sentiment.

  

These bracelets are Victorian wedding bracelets commonly given as a gift to the bride, always a pair, I love the twisting gold and the etruscan details on the ends. Beautiful!
