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
Do you love wide diamond bands full of vintage sparkle? Then you're gonna love the Bonnie! Lots of dazzling sparkle in this beauty, from the 1940s - 1950.
The ring has a substantial width at the top - 10.7mm wide. Notice there are three angled rows of diamonds, with a little swirl at the ends. Each row is set with three antique Old European Cut diamonds, (note: 1 diamond has been replaced later and it is a round brilliant). Then on each of the the ring there is another single diamond. The borders of the diamond rows have hand-applied milgraining on the edges of the metal. Staring at this ring will take your breath away.
The ring was crafted in precious platinum. But somewhere down through time, the ring got re-shanked. And the jeweler who did this, used 14K white gold. (Gold is much easier to work with than platinum, and it was customary in the 1970s and 1980s for jewelers to do this.) So the bottom part of the ring is white gold.
The total weight of the diamonds is estimated at 1.15ctw. Well over a full carat! These are all Old European Cut diamonds, as was standard until about 1950. But one diamond must have chipped or fell out and was replaced with a modern cut brilliant.
Bonnie is a bold beauty! You can make her yours. : )
