Jewel of the day
-
Not historic. Relatively (emphasis added) inexpensive.
Santa Maria aquamarine from Brazil in platinum ring. The finest aquamarine on earth.

My dream Chrysoprase vintage ring in platinum with diamonds sold.
Now it's been put up for auction again at +1k asking price vs its previous selling price.
I'd actually wear this ring but it's past the price point I would spend on any jewel.
It's a masterpiece. I love it.

Oscar Heyman, Inc., or Oscar Heyman, traditionally known as Oscar Heyman and Brothers, New York, 1912.
The best jewelry house in the Western Hemisphere.
They do all their own lapidary work, except diamonds; they create their own platinum and gold.
They design their own jewels and take commissions.
Their website tells their unique history of making jewelry for Tiffany, VCA, Cartier, and others by the time of the Art Deco period.
It shows examples of their work and contains a series of catalogs.
This is a short and sweet video of a tourmaline ring.

What do you think of this ring
I'm not a fan of over fancy designs, but this is just restrained enough and with a super central stone for me to love it.
Bond St price though!
