ABOUT THIS RING

By the former San Francisco based jeweler, Albert Samuels Company*, this sleek late-Art Deco/Mid-Century band ring, hand fabricated in platinum circa 1930s, gleams in the center with a trio of slender baguette diamonds bordered all around with tiny glittering single-cut diamonds. Classic fishtail settings adorn the side gallery. .45 carat total diamond weight. Currently ring size 4 1/2.

*Born and raised in San Francisco, Mr. Samuels graduated from Lowell High School and the University of San Francisco, and then joined his father, Albert Samuels, in the jewelry business, which was originally on Fillmore Street. The store, known as "The House of Lucky Wedding Rings," moved from Fillmore Street to a spot on Market Street, near Fifth Street, now occupied by Nordstrom and other stores. In February 1915, the elder Samuels installed his clock in front of the store, in honor of the opening day of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. In 1941, when Samuels moved his jewelry store across the street to 856 Market Street, next door to the Flood Building, the clock followed, and it has been standing there ever since.

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.
