Black Enamel & Diamond Ring

Back when I worked in an office, this was the type of ring I just loved!  Black is a favorite color of mine anyway, and when you are wearing a black outfit, diamond accessories dress it up, particularly if they incorporate onyx or black enamel with the diamonds!
This ring is a perfect example of what [...]

Ruby Ring on Sale!

My main project this fall is to go through my older gemstone jewelry inventory, take better pictures, and have some great sales!  The first item I took a look at this morning is this beautiful, genuine ruby ring in 14K yellow gold:

This ring is in two-tone gold and features a .45 carat pear-shaped genuine ruby [...]

Pink Tourmaline Fan Ring

I call this ring a fan ring, because it reminds me of the shape of a fan.  This is a uniquely beautiful ring, with filigree on one side and a bunch of oval shaped genuine pink tourmalines on the other.  This cut (and this gemstone) generally doesn’t sparkle much, but this ring pops! 

I really love [...]

Two New Rings–Orange Sapphire and Rhodolite Garnet!

We got a fine jewelry shipment in today and these were the first two I opened!  I love both of them–the orange sapphire ring is true bling!  It’s a cocktail type ring.  The rhodolite garnet ring is much simpler and excellent for everyday wear.  It’s also a garnet, January’s birthstone, so those of you who [...]

 I am very lucky to live in the Pacific Northwest, where the climate is mild and the scenary beautiful.  I live in Salem, Oregon, which is about an hour away from Lincoln City, an Oregon [...]
