Late Victorian toi and moi ring with emerald and old mine cut diamond.
In our everlasting quest to find fresh antique jewelry we stumbled upon a real treasure. A jeweler's stock that has been in the family vaults for approximate 80 years. It is notoften that we find jewelry that has been "trapped" in a time capsule. All jewelry in this stock was brand new when it was stored decades ago and besides a little dusting offwe didn't have to do anything to offer it in its original splendour. This is as close to "brand new antique jewelry" as it can get.
