Emerald and diamond flower cluster ring
A tiered cluster of emeralds and diamonds in vintage 9ct yellow gold, found at auction and sold in October, three weeks after it was listed.
Every piece here is a one-off. When one goes, it is gone.
I buy the pieces I would want to wear myself
GemVale is a small, UK-based business buying and reselling second-hand gold and silver jewellery, with a soft spot for vintage rings and anything with a genuine gemstone in it.
Most pieces come from established auction houses, other sellers and local finds. Where a piece has been appraised at auction, I say so. Where hallmarks are rubbed or partially indistinct, as they often are on older rings, I say that too.
I look at the things that matter once a ring is on your hand: whether the setting is secure, whether the finish is smooth with no sharp edges. Condition notes are written the same way I would want to read them, flaws first, then the reassurance.
I don't usually know the history of a piece, but I like to imagine it: the promise it was bought to mark, or the weeks of savings it took someone to buy it for themselves. If you feel the same way about pre-owned jewellery, you'll probably like what's here.
