We love the unusual. Part of what we love most about vintage jewellery is the unique things we find. Well, this is one of the most unusual stones we have ever come across. Sold to us as yellow beryl, it is actually part of the orthoclase family. You will all know moonstone - well this is her sister, Feldspar. Same stone family and whilst Feldspar is an incredibly common mineral - it is not often found in crystal form. Our gemologist has only ever seen it in classes/ exams etc - never actually in the wild (so this made his week too!). 

This fabulous oval cut pinky yellow Feldspar is the most glorious colour and with a diamond halo it is the most delicate sunflower. The 16 diamonds (H-J colour Si-P clarity) total to 0.32ct and offer the most lovely protection and sparkle to the hero stone, which is great as Feldspar (and moonstone) are only a 6.5 on the Mohs scale. What does this mean? - it means it is more prone to scratching - but look at Victorian moonstone that is still around today, and opals (which are 5.5-6.5 on the Mohs Scale). Should you wish it not to scratch too quickly - wear it as a dress ring - and definitely don't do all your jobs/ gym etc in it. Set on a 9ct yellow gold band, this ring is a stunning mix of buttery yellows and sparkles. 

This ring comes with a 2025 independent valuation for $3800

FAQ

Sizing

What do we mean when we say a ring is "sizeable"? Well, most standard rings can be made bigger or smaller by up to three letter sizes. If we say the item is "moderately sizeable", this usually means about 1 size, and if we say it is "not sizeable" or that "sizing is not recommended" it will be due to the construction - it could be age related, pattern related, have enamel etc.

We can happily help with sizing of rings, so please do get it touch if we can give you a quote.
