I recently found a tiny ad in Domino Magazine for an antique emporium where buyers and sellers can come together. I love checking out new sites, but hate getting disappointed by most. When browsing Ruby Lane, I was very much surprised. Their selection of antique and vintage jewelry goes on and on, with so many sellers to choose from. After looking for a few hours, I was about to call it a night since my eyes would no longer stay open without me making them. I then came across a dainty little ring, with a reasonable price.
I read the description, and it fit my standards: 10k solid rose gold, small diamond, great condition, from the Victorian era–check, check, check AND CHECK! I had to have it! With a sudden burst of energy, I emailed the seller. A good vintage jewelry hunter always asks slightly lower than ticket price. Just remember to be reasonable.
After work the next day, I was happy to learn that the seller accepted my offer and would include shipping and handling! Well, I just received the ring and absolutely love it! It was worth staying up late to peruse just a few more pages worth of jewelry. When I glance at it throughout the day while wearing it, I often wonder who wore it before and what memories it holds. Being from the Victorian Era, it probably has a great significance. Stop on by Ruby Lane to find your very own treasure today (or late tonight)!

Very whimsical. I see a 40’s starlet wearing this

It continues to be one of my favorites. Ruby Lane is such an awesome source, especially when sellers offer the choice to “make an offer” on their items.
