ABOUT THIS RING

Often misidentified as a ruby, the splendid radiant red spinel is an exceptionally fine stone in its own right. With their perfect crystal formation, purity and vibrancy of color, the Burmese described spinels as having been "polished by the spirits." Because of its indisputable beauty and depth of color, the stone was used prominently to adorn crown jewels, one of the most famous being mounted directly above the renowned Cullinan II diamond in the Imperial State Crown of the United Kingdom. The captivating stone in this dramatic estate ring gleams and glows with an intense, fiery claret red color, enhanced by its brightly polished mounting, substantially rendered in 18K gold. A rare, radiant and highly collectable specimen. Currently ring size 10 3/4.

About Vintage Jewelry

Like fine wine, fine jewelry also has a “vintage”—the design period or era from which it hails. Victorian or Edwardian, Art Deco or Retro, each piece in our collection has its own special pedigree. But just because one era ended and another began, it doesn’t mean that creative jewelry makers simply forgot the lessons of the past! Many of the jewels in our cases refuse to conform to a single design period, either by striking out on their own or showing the transition from one era to the next. When such daring dazzlers are over one hundred years old, they’re generally grouped in the antique category. Anything younger than that, but still made before 1970, fits the vintage label. Every iconic era yields both singular and transitional pieces, like the ones we’ve assembled here. Follow the link at the end of each section for more about the aesthetics and history of the period.

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.
