A dream came true over the weekend. Trumpet & Horn sent me a package of jewels, ten to be exact, and I got to live, laugh, love with them for a few days. Of course, every Cinderella has a midnight clock waiting to strike, and I had to send them all back-but don’t be sad, if any of these catch your fancy, you can own them! So my dream does have a happy ending.
Trumpet & Horn has been the leading online destination for gorgeous antique and vintage jewelry since 2012. Since launching four years ago, they have made hundreds of brides happy with engagement rings and wedding bands. They’ve collaborated with wedding dress designer Claire Pettibone on an exclusive collection of rings and bands, reminiscent of her intricate bridal dresses and style. The collection is quite the success, you must check out the gallery of designs. Trumpet & Horn also has their own vintage-inspired collection of rings, along with their authentic classic and antique jewelry sourced from all over by owner Jerry and his team.
I’ve been enjoying the Trumpet & Horn newsletter for years-they provide “new arrivals” every Tuesday right to your inbox. It is worth signing up for, especially if you are busy and forget to consistently check their website. You never know if your dream ring might be the next new arrival! You would have first dibs easily! Also in September (tomorrow!) Trumpet & Horn is offering 15% off all sapphires during the month, so some great incentive for all you sapphire lovers out there!
Enjoy the photos of the 10 rings and get the full break down of each below:
1. Just the right amount of color, this Persian turquoise cluster ring is a little glam and a little low key. Its journey didn’t start out as a ring-it actually was an earring and has now fashion jewellery onlinebeen transformed perfectly by Trumpet & Horn. I love the shank that they have added-it is super comfortable and the split-shank style is so fitting.
Ring is called Bridgeton, Price: $2,950
2. These bold step cut aquamarine rings were popular during the late Art Deco, early Retro period. I’ve seen quite a few in my time from appraising jewelry for five years, but this particular ring is different than the other similar ones. For starters, it isn’t as huge and fake-looking as most-sure it is still a bold piece, but the size of the aquamarine (approx. 10 carats) is surprisingly ideal. I would want this as my “something blue” if I were getting married!
Ring is called St. Tropez, Price: $4,250
3. Mesmerizing moonstone. I just can’t get enough of this gemstone and it seems to be gaining in popularity. This particular ring shows off everything wonderful about this gem-the solitaire setting really focuses all attention to the stone. It is simple yet bold enough to stand alone. But if you are stack-obsessed, this can do that too!
Ring is called Resthaven, Price: 1,050
4. When I unwrapped this sapphire and diamond cluster ring from Trumpet & Horn, my mouth dropped. The ring was glowing in the light. I have a sweet spot for Victorian jewelry and this ring dates back to the late 1800s. The Old Mine cut diamonds that surround the sapphire make it even more special, totaling approximately 0.80 carats.
Ring is called Oakley, Price: $4,500
5. Another phenomenal gemstone that we can’t get enough of: Opals. This ring is all-original Victorian Era and features three oval cut opals that have some major fire! If you look at some of the photos silver earrings for menabove that depict this opal ring, the flashes of color are pretty glorious. I loved stacking it with the peridot ring, so you can see it easily stacks. Whatever gemstone it pairs with, those colors are brought out in the opals. So neat!
Ring is called Brushy Ridge, Price: 1,975
6. And here is the peridot ring I just mentioned! Peridot was a popular choice of gemstone during the Victorian Era and this ring is a fine example of just that. August’s birthstone is sometimes hard to find-there are lots of diamond, sapphire, ruby and emerald jewels out there-but you don’t often see peridot. Any August babies out there looking for your perfect birthstone ring, this is it!
Ring is called Grand Isle, Price: $3,950
7. A golden ring consisting of a natural ruby, an amazing silhouette in a navette shape and sparkling diamonds to finish it off. This ring has it all. If you like your rubies more on the pink-side of the spectrum, this is a good choice for you. It dates back to the Victorian Era and done in 18k yellow gold. Would make the greatest unconventional engagement ring.
Ring is called Prairie, Price: $2,100
8. This emerald and white sapphire cluster ring for those who like their clusters more reminiscent of floral patterns. I love the size of this ring in general and the comfort level is a 10/10. Set with an oval cut emerald approximately 0.50 carat surrounded by white sapphires-yes, you may have first glanced and thought these were diamonds. I did too! Makes it very affordable and budget-friendly.
Ring is called Stratton, Price: 1,750
9. Garnet lovers rejoice! Trumpet & Horn has a big, juicy garnet for you and it comes in this ring setting that shows it off impeccably. This early Victorian ring features an oval cut garnet in a six-prong setting with hand-engraved details on the side. I think this ring would be perfect for a January birthday gift, or if you’re celebrating a January anniversary…or maybe even a push present for an upcoming January baby.
Ring is called Whitmore, Price: 1,275
10. We couldn’t do a top 10 ring countdown without including a pearl ring in the mix. This one is extra special because it features some calibre cut synthetic rubies surrounding it and also has a French origin (French hallmarks). Love the two-tone metal, with the yellow gold shank with white gold accents.
Ring is called Red Roof, Price: 1,250
