ABOUT THIS RING

Once upon a time, Loretz and Benoit catered to the San Francisco carriage trade from their upstairs jewelry salon located in Union Square. This chic and stunning gemstone ring, starring a gorgeous 5.46 carat cornflower blue cushion-cut sapphire--faintly tinged with violet--perfectly represents their restrained, classic design aesthetic. Accompanied by a gemological report from Stone Group Laboratories stating: Natural, No Indications of Thermal Enhancement, Ceylon (Sri Lanka) origin, the enchanting gemstone glistens and glows between a pair of gleaming white tapered baguette diamonds, all of which are presented in lustrous platinum. Stunning. Total diamond weight, .42 carat. Circa 1940s-50s. LB maker's mark inside ring shank. Currently ring size 6 3/4.

How to Pair Your Wedding Band

You found your ideal, beautiful, one-of-a-kind antique or vintage engagement ring… and then realized that you need a wedding band to go with it. Pairing the two can be tricky, since vintage engagement rings rarely come with matching bands, and many modern bands don’t accommodate vintage shapes and designs. So we created a line of vintage-style wedding bands, modeled after original pieces from our collection.

About Mid-Century Jewelry

Mid-Century jewelers gave the Victorians a run for their money when it came to variety—with the added bonus of big, bold gems in every shape, size, and color. Themes of previous eras were made fabulous enough to match the optimism of the post-war world. Transitional pieces bridged the gap between the first and second half of the 20th century.

Jewelry Care

As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
