Antique Jewelry Show, Part 1 - Engagement Rings

This past weekend I attended an Antique Jewelry show in NY. Vendors from all over the country, as well as some international jewelers displayed their exquisite merchandise.  So much sparkle and beauty under one roof made me dizzy!

Here are some one of a kind, antique engagement and dinner rings

 that caught my eye at the show.

A Rare Find - Art Deco Diamond Pendant

I came across this exquisite Art Deco pendant on eBay and I'm smitten!

It's rare to find such a fine specimen of antique jewelry of the late 

Edwardian/early Art Deco period. The pendant is 2 inches in length, made of 

18K gold and  is loaded with 1.75 carats of rose-cut diamonds. 

I love the unusual, rectangular shape!

It's being sold in the original leather jewelry box.

This is a very fine estate piece from Savannah,Georgia.
