Share your stunning jewels

I so enjoyed the cocktail ring thread and noted so did quite a few others
What other lovely pieces have you bought, inherited or been given?

This was my late mum’s diamond ring. She bought it on the last shopping trip I ever took with her and dad, and the last time I went out for lunch with them.

It’s one of my most treasured possessions.

@LunaNorth
It's a beautiful ring and I love this thread.

My MIL gave me this beautiful diamond and aquamarine pendant when DH and I got engaged. It had belonged to her mother and is from the 20s. I wore it at our wedding.

And I love this thread.

@InTheNameOfAllThatIsHonest I just reread Sense and Sensibility, and Gray's is mentioned in it! (I'm making an assumption it's the same one).

Ohhhh I love that!

This thread has made me go and rummage through my mums jewellery. She passed 28 years ago, when I was 10.

Here are some of the rings I was given. I think the cluster was her engagement ring, although there was a smaller one that I have put away and forgotten to photograph.

I have no idea if there's any real diamonds, but I'd suspect not.

I don't wear yellow gold. Would it be very expensive, or even possible to have this changed to white gold setting?

I have just found this gold ring in amongst my mums things. I have no idea whose, or even what the initials are engraved on it, but it's obviously a wedding ring and the date on it 24/06/20! 101 years ago today!! How weird is that?!

Anyone know what the other markings on it means?

Can't attach the photos now

@ringadingdong do you think it could be a great grandmother/great aunt's ring, passed down?
What do we think of my dress ring? Like others on this thread, I just love jewellery that's a bit different and has a history. This is diamond and white gold and I bought it more than 20years ago secondhand.

@ringadingdong how lovely to have your DM's rings when you lost her so sadly young.
Very weird date coincidence.

These are my little jewels given by my mum when I got married 🙂

I collect antique jewellery (I have something from every era - Roman through Tudor to today)

I was wearing these two earlier - a diamond and sapphire twist ring from the 1920's and an all sapphire ring from 1969

@claracluck1978 Beautiful ring - art deco jewellery is so stunning.

I’m really enjoying this - there are some beautiful pieces
I had these bangles made from scrap jewellery of DM DD and pieces from ex DH
Originally the middle one had 7 diamonds taken from a flower shaped ring - then I lost yet another diamond bracelet (in a spa pool) they rescued part of it from the pools filter system and conveniently that bit also had 7 diamonds so I got my friendly jeweller to add them in as well!

I also had some Pearl chokers from the 1980s restrung into a bracelet and much longer necklace with the addition of gold spacers

My engagement ring is a 1910 filigree Edwardian platinum diamond ring. I can’t even post a picture of it because it’s so unique it’s outing. I’ve searched and searched for another like it for years and can’t find it. This is as close as I can find. My diamond is rounder.

Its nothing fancy compared to some people’s rocks, but I adore it and love to imagine it’s history. How many owners? We’re they as happy as we are?

Macavity yes, that's the one!

@Fairlight99 LOVE those bracelets!
Enjoying seeing all the photos of unusual and antique jewellery.

This is such an interesting thread. I spend hours looking at antique jewellery online, and checking out the auction houses. It’s so lovely to see these special pieces being treasured.

This is my most treasured. My Nana's sapphire & diamond ring. The sapphires are beautiful. I've loved this ring since I was a nipper.

I'd give my left kidney for a rummage in @JaceLancs jewellery box.

I'm not sure but the one just off Bond Street station is a staple for me every time I'm in the West End. Some truly gorgeous pieces.

@Corrag
Just to satisfy your rummaging I’ll add a ruby bangle 😂

@JaceLancs gorgeous!

@Corrag
The sapphires are beautiful in your ring I did have a dark blue sapphire ring for a while but gave it my DD
Now have a paler blue Ceylon I think sapphire ring 😊
