Special Jewelry Designs - OpenWork Antique, Vintage Fine Jewelry
Finger rings from the early 1900s are created with openwork designs. These
rings may use either bezel set or prong set gemstones for embellishment. During
the Art Deco Jewelry Period of the 1920s and 1930s openwork filigree wedding and
engagement rings would have diamonds or sapphires mounted with an open backing.
Wedding rings would focus on usage of geometric and abstract designs and
patterns. In rings from the early 1900s, wire would also be shaped to form
hearts, flowers, blossoms or even stars. Rings would also be embellished with
engraved or stamped designs.
Special Jewelry Designs - Diamond Cocktail Rings & Jewelry
Back in the nineteen forties and fifties, the trend was to use expensive
stones in the rings such as diamonds. Today, most cocktail rings boast faux
stones. Cocktail rings with real
stones will range anywhere from ten thousand dollars to one hundred thousand
dollars. These rings that are worn by the stars to red carpet events will cost
millions of dollars. Another difference between cocktail rings and other rings is that the cocktail
ring should not be worn on the ring finger on the left hand. This is untrue for
engagement and wedding rings. The right hand, ring
finger is often where one would wear a cocktail ring.
The cocktail ring is an important eye-popping
statement to make with your cocktail attire. Whether you're wearing a colorful
whimsical dress or a basic black number, adding a cocktail ring adds a splash of
drama and glamour to your ensemble. With so many rings to choose from, ranging
from the bold and the beautiful, to bling-worthy conversation starters, knowing
what to look for in your favorite evening babble is key.
The cocktail ring has been around for centuries. And, one thing has stayed
true - the unforgettable large size of the ring. However, styles, colors,
stones, gold, or platinum are all used to make your
favorite cocktail ring truly unique and something that fits in your lifestyle,
price range and wardrobe. Getting ready for a cocktail party is simpler than it looks. You just need a
few bold pieces and a cocktail ring is the perfect accessory to make an outfit
feel new and fresh, not to mention glamorous.
It's amazing the amount of styles available these days in the world of
fashionable bold rings. When searching for the perfect ring, choose one that you
feel comfortable with. If you're not used to wearing bold, eccentric jewelry, opt for a smaller cocktail ring. If you
love bold conversation starters and feel comfortable with a large flashier ring
to dress up your finger, go for that.

Special Jewelry Designs - Diamond Flower Rings & Antique, Vintage Fine Jewelry
Victoria's serpent motif was popular. Rings were ornate and had space to put
hair or a photo of a loved one. The lid of the ring could be raised. The lid was
covered with minute multi colored gems. Granulating gems with grains of gold,
made famous by the Etruscans were hugely popular. Rings were huge and eye
catching in the first half of this period. The rings followed a fixed style.
Floral and Fauna motifs were used. A huge leaf encircled with small diamonds or
a three leaved flower, or a sheaf of wheat in pearls were made into rings. Huge
gems were flaunted. It was a time for color and luxury.
Special Jewelry Designs - Diamond Halo Rings & Antique, Vintage Fine Jewelry
A halo ring is a beautiful ring style that features a "halo" circle or border of
diamonds that surround a center diamond. A halo ring emphasizes and enhances the
center stone, increasing the perceived diamond size, the diamond's brilliance,
and therefore the overall visual impact
of the diamond. This type of ring has been popular since the 1920s when
glamour was the fashion rule. Halo rings are perfect for the bride-to-be with
impeccable taste and an eye for style. Diamond Halo Ringsfeature a border of diamonds encircling the center stone, to emphasize its brilliant sparkle and increase the appearance of its size. Halo engagement rings often feature a vintage design style, but contemporary alternatives are becoming increasingly popular as well. Unique diamond cuts for the center stone in a halo ring can create a very individual design, which is often complemented by a split shankband or by including pave set diamonds.
Halo Rings: A Variety of Styles There are many variations of
the halo style, but they generally fall into one of two types. One version is a
setting that features a flush halo encircling the center diamond. The other type
has a gap or separation between the diamond halo and the center diamond.
Halo Design Techniques No all halo rings are created
equal. In order to achieve the halo look, most designs use inner metal prongs to
hold the diamonds. Another option is to cut, groove, or notch the diamonds to
fit together. Both of these techniques interrupt the natural fire and brilliance
of the diamonds in the ring.
