Scottsdale. My goofy brother lives there. I guess he still does, anyway!
Here's a few pics of my fruitful jewelry search... this place is an antiques shop, but the owner has a special interest in fine jewelry and one of the best collections of vintage stuff in town.
Some of these are old mine-cut diamonds from the late 1800s.
Men's rings - one of three displays:
Sorry for the blur...
This was on the woman's wrist who worked there. She bought it from the shop. It's a 1920s full carat stone, mine cut.
She was a good hand model.... here's an amethyst in yellow gold that I really liked, but I wanted white gold.
A London blue topaz in 14K white gold. I adored the color.
Mikki, didn't you say you liked amethysts? Here's a closer look at the one above.
A dainty blue topaz. A bit too dainty for me, though.
Crusted with diamonds. Pretty shape. Can't remember what this stone was, but setting is white gold.
I like the horizontal settings, though this one was a bit too delicate for me.
I wore both watches to match with rings.... this is a citrine.
I kept coming back to this one. My birthstone is a sapphire, and while this is a topaz, the deep color really drew me in. This is the one I decided on. It's set in 14K white gold.
Does it look okay with the watch?
The proprietor, Randy. He said to let you guys know he does ship!
