Finding Unique Pieces

While I love many different Eras of Vintage and Antique Jewelry, I like to acquire pieces that are unique. There are indeed, similar design themes observed when hunting and collecting for vintage jewelry.  So, I very much like to look for pieces that I love and that aren't the typical design you would see from an certain Era, Culture or particular designer.

Here is a Native American Agate Ring.  I had in my mind to look for a large, unique cabochon Turquoise ring.  I like larger, bold designs.  While there were many Turquoise rings with good design there wasn't anything that really "popped" for me.  Then I saw this ring and I was really "Taken" so to speak.

I believe it is pre-1950's and could be as early as the 20's or 30's and Navajo.  Will have to do a bit more research for sure.

Just off the press: A recent buying trip proves to be a lot of fun and quite rewarding

Here are two rings I'll be adding to my Etsy and Ruby Lane Sites very soon once they visit the appraiser.

My recent buying trip was a lot of fun and I always learn a lot, see a lot and walk a lot.

I am pretty crazy about the 1940's  Retro Aquamarine and the Diamond Ring isn't too shabby either.  I date the diamond ring about 1930.  However,  It has a Edwardian feel to me.  So, maybe closer to 1920.

I have some other pieces that are sure to be unique, vintage and maybe,  a little surprising!
