Once in a Lifetime

At least "once in a lifetime" everyone deserves a piece of jewelry to cherish and to remember.  As we move into this new millennium, a once in a lifetime event, we celebrate with significant treasures from our past,  Wear one of these momentous pieces of jewelry as you celebrate your own lifetime.

19 inches of outstanding, almost pure gold. Weighing 19 grams, this necklace is solid and stunning! It has Asian touchmarks - not sure if its 22K or 24K as our acid tester does not go beyond 22K. The chain is 1/8" wide at its narrowest. The V like shape measures 2.5" L. The V shape creates such a gentle flow for the eye framing the face in a flattering manner. 19 grams Baht Clasp. This is THE neckchain of a lifetime. Truly!!

Graceful? Yes!! Unusual? Definitely!! On an excursion into Delaware we found this striking deco-style pin. Could it have belonged to the Duponts? One blade is a matte finished gold, while the other is diamond cut. Radiating out from the 6.5mm pearl are 7 white stamen. The pin weighs 10 gr. and measures close to two inches. This is an absolutely beautiful pin that will become one of those pieces passed down for generations.

Are you kidding? This is Gorgeous! This is unusual! This is so graceful on one's hand. This ring was custom-made in Italy. It is an exotic 18K gold ring with 4 Sapphires and 4 clear Diamonds. The 3 Sapphires are oval Cut 5mm x 4mm while one Sapphire is Marquis cut 3mm x 3.75mm. The diamonds are round cut, 2 points each. This ring is 3/4 " wide x 1 ½ " long. While the ring measures a size 8, this design can be taken up or down by your local jeweler. Absolutely stunning, and certainly one-of-a-kind.

Men deserve exquisite jewelry and this 18K Rose Gold Puzzle Ring with 6 round diamonds, and 6 rubies and 8 sapphires channel set is truly phenomenal. This ring is called a "Sheik's Ring" because by tradition only Sheiks could wear gemstones. This is a six piece puzzle ring, so that each of the six pieces separate when the ring is taken off and need to be put back together like a puzzle. Size 12 with a weight 15 grams of gorgeous 18K gold. Perfect condition, this is a rare find.

Remember when you didn't have to worry about the battery running down? You merely set your watch, wound it up and knew that it was reliable. This is a Longine watch from the 1950s in excellent working condition. Band of 22 grams of 18K gold mesh will fit up to a 6 1/4" wrist. 24 Diamonds around the face of the watch and 5 more on both the top and bottom for 1.5 TWCT Elegant, once in a lifetime, this is a stunning watch that you will want to save for special events, but you certainly don't have to.

My Aunt Ruth wore all of these twelve different stickpins on her various hats. Later, when hats fell out of favor, she had this three inch brooch designed. The center is an 18K solid-gold carved cameo that measures one and three-eighths inches. Around this center and carefully spaced intervals are 12 stickpins containing jewels. Some are diamonds, others are amethysts. There is an opal, an emerald, and several are set with seed pearls. This pin is in excellent condition. There is one teensy tiny diamond missing from the emerald stickpin, but you would never notice it. If you are a collector of the unusual, special, one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces, then you must have this for your collection.
