3-Stone Blue Diamond Ring Size 5
Blue diamonds are about as rare as, well, a priceless Smithsonian showpiece. |
|
| And finding three matching blue diamonds? Well, that’s nigh to impossible, and even then the resulting ring would require a king’s ransom to own. That’s why we decided to offer this best-of-all-worlds alternative: a just-over 1/2 carat, color-enhanced center blue diamond showcased between two .28 carat white diamonds (G-H color, I1 clarity). Designed in a classic prong setting on 18K white gold, this combination not only makes a refreshing change from an “ordinary” 3-stone diamond ring but also has the advantage of making that extraordinary robin’s-egg blue dazzle really “pop!” Yet it’s still timeless enough to present as an engagement ring or an anniversary gift or even as a symbol of your true-blue loyalty and fidelity. What’s more, she has the satisfaction of owning—and perhaps uncharacteristically for her, even flaunting!—a ring that’s as one of a kind as she is. Available in sizes 5-10. | |

Ruby and Diamond Pendant Necklace
The envy and admiration in their voices are real. |
|
| So is the almost one carat t.w. of genuine diamonds that bedazzle this “vintage” pendant necklace—from the trio of traffic-stopping rounds at the center, to the hundreds of smaller diamonds scalloped around the ribbon of brilliant rose-red rubies (just over 1/2 carat’s worth t.w.) at its center. But any fascinating story about, oh say, finding this stunning piece at an estate sale auctioning off the Edwardian-Era jewels of a chewing gum heiress, is not only untrue, it’s quite unnecessary. For our newest pendant, showcased upon an 18" necklace composed of three gleaming strands of white gold cable chain, is lavished with such precious gemstones and an abundance of exquisite detailing in 18K white gold that it easily “passes” as a priceless heirloom…especially when paired with the matching white gold earrings, encrusted with 1.46 carats t.w. diamonds and .70 carats t.w. rubies and thoughtfully styled with convertible post/clip backs. Buy one piece or the set, with Stauer’s promise that any tall tales you tell about wealthy maiden aunts or distant kinship to the fur-trading Astors will be our little secret. |

Vintage Garnet and Marcasite Ring Size 5
Evocative of Victorian designs rich with sentiment and symbolism |
|
| —which in turn were often themselves inspired by gothic and medieval jewelry—this one-of-a-kind ring sparks conversation with every brilliant sparkle! Black oxidized .925 sterling silver forms the setting for 19 round garnets (2.5 carats t.w.) and 18 round marcasites. They are clustered within the hearts of a 3-leaf clover or shamrock, Ireland’s most recognized national symbol. St. Patrick used the shamrock leaf to illustrate the mystery of the Holy Trinity, how one God became three. This piece, eminently giftable for Valentine’s Day or St. Paddy’s, is further finessed with meticulous millegrain work. Available in sizes 5-10. |
