ANTIQUE & VINTAGE JEWELLERY

"I love both the Diamond Ruby ring I got and the Diamond earrings. Both are very high quality pieces and as described. They were very well packaged and the shipping was fast. I would love to make another purchase soon! My ring and earrings were very well packaged."

- Evelyn Hwang - July 2025

"I cannot fault the ring the customer service and the packaging. The pictures did not do this piece of jewelry justice. It is stunning and I am so thrilled with it. Could not be happier at every step of the purchasing process. This is a ring that I will treasure."

- Nyree C - July 2025
