From timeless earrings to delicate bracelets, these choices are perfect for capturing her heart without overindulging. All of these gifts for women are under $1,000, and you can pick them up in our Meridian store or order them online.

We have converted these fabulous lingerie pins from the early 1900's into something so wearable for today.  At one time, for many years, many women wore lingerie pins to keep their undergarments from slipping out of place and into view.  It is very difficult to find two matches that are in such great condition. 

It doesn't get much more romantic than this!  This charming antique luscious rose gold puff heart "locket" necklace is one for the ages.   The latch on the top flips up but this locket does not open.  Any woman would adore adding this special piece to her jewelry collection! 

This charming beauty was created in the 1960's and inspired by the Art Nouveau style with it's flowing, graceful lines and and female form.  In bright and beaming 14 k yellow gold, this pendant will be noticed and you can wear it with absolutely anything in your wardrobe.

This Antique Victorian 10k Rose Gold Seed Pearl Navette Ring features gorgeous Rhodolite Garnets and is a great addition to a collection for anyone that is born in January!

Feminine, swirly, open detailing describes this antique diamond ring perfectly. This sweet ring, in high polished rose gold is very low profile, making it extremely easy to wear daily.  A lovely European cut diamond dots the center of this signet style ring.

Holiday Engagement Rings

The holiday season is the perfect backdrop for life’s most romantic moments. If you’re planning to propose, these breathtaking engagement rings promise elegance and charm. From vintage-inspired settings to modern classics, each ring is crafted to make this season unforgettable and create memories that last a lifetime.

From the 1930's, this Art Deco mounting is actually new old stock from the city of Boston! New old stock simply means that it has never been owned or worn. It was never sold and was obtained by us from an old time jeweler. Be the first owner of this treasure of an antique diamond engagement ring. 

The framework in yellow gold surrounding the diamonds is filled with orange blossoms, so very romantic. Nice and low profile making for easy everyday wear. And lastly a display of three absolutely icy white and radiant European cut diamonds across the top will keep you staring!  We love this one, we haven't seen many like it and it can serve as engagement, band or right handed ring. You choose!

Your bride to be (or you!) would be delighted to accept this beguiling antique diamond engagement ring, wouldn't you say? Coming to us from the early 1900's, this sweetheart has definitely hit the ripe old age of 100 and is ready for her second curtain call!  Crafted in 18k white gold, a spectacular European cut diamond at just over a carat and a half sits comfortably at the center just waiting to be admired once more. 

Did somebody say "show-off", like it's a bad thing? Well, we don't know what they are thinking because this beauty just can't help itself! Sublime Art Deco, very fancy, with fine milgrain work outlining every bit, creating a fabulous detailed and finished look. This antique treasure was crafted in strong platinum.

The Arts and Crafts decorative period may not have lasted long, but the pieces from that short time period are very unique!  This 14k antique stunner is from approximately 1905 and is beautifully two-toned with crisp flowers on either side of the diamond within a very open and airy setting. Milgrain finishes off this ring, adding striking detail to an already striking ring. A mine-cut diamond of over a carat is showcased in this very special setting!

Gifts for the Antique Lover

For those captivated by the elegance of the past, an antique piece is the ultimate gift. Discover items that have traveled through time, carrying stories and memories in each intricate detail. From Art Deco treasures to Victorian-inspired finds, these gifts bring the magic of history to life.

Then these beautifully unique antique 14k yellow gold dangle enamel earrings are for you! These are the most beautiful and feminine earrings with small painted roses and possible pansy flowers with enameling on the bottom. Also note the gorgeous bow atop the painted flowers.  Delicate, feminine, but also a bit of a statement. Simply lovely! 

The fact that the enamel work of over 100 years ago is still beautifully intact is just phenomenal in and of itself. Then, the artistry of it all. So, lovely, so unique, so rare. In this 14k yellow gold necklace (an original brooch) we have a perching bird of many colors, within a natural framework dotted with sweet natural pearls and a shimmering European cut diamond. The Arts and Crafts era brought us artistic nature-inspired designs and imbued it with free-flowing lines.

Nestled within an antique Belais setting is a swirly vibrant boulder opal of 3.61 carats. Another proud example of our pairings of old and new. Filled to the brim with delicate filigree, wirework, beading and tiny blossom engravings.  Owning a highly collectible and coveted Belais ring is really like wearing a piece of jewelry history because the company which began in 1873 is considered to be one of the first US manufacturers to use white gold and they came up with their very own formula in 1917. It was sometimes referred to as "Belais Metal".

Who doesn't love a combination of pearls, sapphires, diamonds and enamel all set in rose gold? No one, that's who. This perfectly feminine necklace was born during the Edwardian era of jewelry design and it looks so graceful around the neck. The center diamond is mine-cut, set within prongs and the sapphires are all bezel set. This beauty is perfect for the bride as her something old or something blue. But after the big day, enjoy this lovely little antique treasure often and forever!

Whoa...this strikingly dazzling antique diamond and sapphire ring absolutely screams Art Deco!  Bold and geometric, crafted in fine platinum with gorgeous European cut diamonds accented with blue sapphires.  Consider this ring for your engagement/wedding ring or a right handed ring...it will work for either.  If you love Art Deco with its opulent sophistication this is the piece for you!
