Amazing emerald, onyx, and diamond Art Deco fan ring.

January 9, 2015

When I saw a snap of this amazing Art Deco fan ring in a group shot on Trumpet & Horn’s Instagram, I flipped out.

I started bargaining with myself, thinking, “Okay, if it’s less than this, I’ll buy it. Or if it’s only over that by a little! I’ll make it work….who needs groceries?”

Turns out, this beauty is platinum and centered by a 0.64 carat Old European diamond, which makes it even more amazeballs but also puts it solidly out of reach of my current just-for-funzies fund.

Which is good news for you, world, because that means I didn’t take it off the market.

Could this image be any more gorgeous? The styling is absolutely breathtaking; the colors and textures are a dream. Trumpet & Horn knows what they’re doing. (Love the box, too.)

Just look at those bold, swooping Art Deco lines: geometry and the contrast of hard and soft at their finest. The juxtaposition of the vivid green emeralds against the perfect patina of the antique platinum and the sparkle on the diamonds – a 0.64 carat Old European and 10 smaller single cut accent stones – so utterly fantastic.

I also love the texture created on the fan-shaped element by the calibre cut onyx and the scalloped edge of the fan created by the row of round emeralds.

Basically, I love everything about it.

And because they are lovely people who understand what the people want, Trumpet & Horn has also shared a video of this beauty in action:

I’m not sure why T & H named this ring “Mullholland,” but I also don’t care: I just want to stare at it.

What do you think of this piece, my darlings? Do you love it as much as I do? Would you wear it as an engagement ring, or would you rather have it on your right hand?

This emerald, onyx, and diamond Art Deco fan ring is currently for sale at Trumpet & Horn. All images and info are thanks to T & H and T &H’s Instagram.

Peek-a-boo diamonds and pearls by n + a New York.

December 15, 2014

I was browsing Instagram the other day when this sleek ring from n + a New York stopped me in my tracks:

A whisper of gold, a peep of diamond; this lovely swirling piece would be a perfect addition to any outfit.

Here’s an earring interpretation of the same design. Since they’re straight spikes, these feel a little bolder, a little more aggressive than the ring version. Still beautiful.

The diamonds in n + a New York ring aren’t really very “peek-a-boo,” but it was too pretty not to include. Perfect for stacking.

And finally: how lovely are these pearl earrings? I love the earthy, organic feel of the rough gold cradling the pearls. What a wonderful every-day piece.

All of these beauties are currently for sale at n + a New York’s website. Most are available at different price points in sterling silver, as well. All images and info via n+ a New York.
