Why Talking Is a Good Idea
Buying jewelry online is intimidating. We should know. We've been selling online for 17 years.
We've taken a totally different approach. A personal one.
Remember how experiences used to be intimate? Jewelry buying should be an intimate experience.
It isn't about having the largest selection, or selling the cheapest (i.e. low quality) jewelry. We’re not aiming to be the Amazon of jewelry. We are a family-owned jewelry store in Modesto (California) that is very picky about quality and design. That's been our calling card since 1989.
Beautiful jewelry should stir the soul. Before selecting a piece for display we ask, “How does this design make me feel?”
In a world of infinite choice, it’s nice to slow down and appreciate the work of master craftsmen.
Don’t use your credit card to buy this. Not yet.
It’s 5:40 AM in Modesto right now. Call us and see why we fell in love with this piece. One shouldn’t ever have to buy jewelry online without asking all your questions first. Oh, that’s right, that’s what makes us different from the thousands of online jewelry sites out there.
When you call you aren’t talking to an agent in a call center. Your talking to either Ron Yates, Ashton Yates-Woolley, Marissa Stewart, Mechelle Yates, or Justice Carillo at our Modesto store location.
Product Details
This 100-year old piece has a fascinating history. We purchased it as a bar type pin/broach. It was in near perfect condition. But, ladies don't wear pins nowadays like they did in the early 1900s (although they are making a slight comeback). So after having the pin in our inventory for a couple of years, we decided to turn into a piece of jewelry that more ladies would enjoy - a pendant.
The emerald in the center is natural, Columbian type. It has excellent clarity and a pretty velvety color. It is emerald cut, (the classic cut for emerald gemstones.) It measures 4.45 x 4.58mm, and by formula is estimate to weigh .40ct.
The green emerald is surrounded by Old Mine Cut diamonds. Old Mine Cut diamonds were cut from the 1800s through the early 1900s. They are characterized by their pillow shape. Take a look at them. Do you see their unique shape? Just lovely. This was an early example of a diamond halo, which is so popular today. (Most designs today use small diamonds, we like this larger size!) The total carat weight of the diamonds is about .40ctw - .50ctw.
Surrounding a colored gemstone with diamonds is like adding a matt border around a picture. It accentuates it and compliments the colored stone.
Take a look at the pictures and videos to see the transformation of this piece. Fascinating!
Sold as pendant, chain not included. You can add a chain for $225 (18" 1mm cable chain 14k yellow gold) - or contact us for other chain options.
