Somebody's Gotta Buy This Piece!

1886 wedding band 14k, 3.8mm - size 8.5 - $650. Maven Lane currently has an 18k band marked with the same year, same width (granted, it's antique Tiffany) for $2100.

Someone out there has to think this ring is as fun as I do. I mean obviously it's ridiculous but so fun! All of the little outside topazes move. Size 6.25, $2373. Retail is $9680: https://grazielagems.com/products/something-blue-ring-3 Center pears are Paraiba-type tourmalines. Might even be fun to convert into earrings.

Reminds me of little peacock birds- adorable.
 
Size 10.5 platinum deco diamond-and-sapphire band for $850 OBO, if anyone's looking for that:

 
One of my favorite pastimes is scrolling through old Sotheby listings… it’s long sold, and, well even if it wasn’t, I’m not sure I could make enough selling feet pics to buy this. And even then, I’d have to give myself a pedicure, yes, cause I’m not going to pay someone to do something I can do for myself… and pedicures at home are so hard cause you have to bend your foot up next to you, and at my age that’s starting to get hard :lol-2:

Anyways, proof that I was born in the wrong century

Well I’m also tempted by the George sawyer ring… @lovedogs which would you get if both fit ?

Hmmm that's tough bc they're such different aesthetics. I think I'd probably do the mcteigue. Only because there are lots of folks who make mokume bands, so getting one (even if not sawyer) isn't hard. But no one can replicate mcteigue and their craftsmanship (imho).
 
The ring from Max Pawn arrived! Just a reminder, this was the best image, and it was described as est. 1.5ct, Quality: High.

Showed up desperately in need of a bath, and after a couple of trips through the ultrasonic, we have this:

It's pretty clean, just one chip that's mostly under the girdle, that could easily be concealed.
20250120_151704.jpg20250120_151509.jpg

I'd guess it's somewhere from an I-L. I'm not good at discerning color grades, particularly when stones are set.
I'm measuring roughly 7.3mm x 7.5mm, but no idea on depth, since it's set.


Btw, just editing to add the Max Pawn folks were lovely. Shipped the ring quickly, packaged it up REALLY well, and even sent a sweet little jewelry pouch.
