A single large emerald-cut stone in deep forest green takes the lead here — the kind of saturated, glassy green that reads as genuinely precious from across the room. Four round clear rhinestones flank it two per side, set into angular silver-tone shoulders that echo the geometry of the center stone.

A round cream faux pearl sits nestled at the base of a spreading fan of silver-tone marquise leaves, each one set with a clear rhinestone — the whole composition opening outward like a peacock tail or a spray of light caught mid-movement.

A sculpted ribbon bow spreads wide across the finger, its looped and gathered folds rendered in warm gold tone with fine engraved line detail across each wing. At the center, a small oval cabochon in muted blue — somewhere between slate and periwinkle, with a slightly speckled, matte surface — anchors the whole composition without competing with it. The bow is generous in scale but sits closer to charming than costume, the kind of ring that reads as intentional rather than loud.

A full-sail schooner rendered in white and navy enamel, red pennant flying, gold star on the mainsail, with a dangling anchor charm swinging from the hull — every detail accounted for, nothing excessive. Nautical motifs surged in American costume jewelry through the 1980s, carried by the decade's love of preppy dressing and coastal aesthetics, and Avon produced some of the most charming versions.

A bold piece from Avon’s glamorous 1980s design era. This 1984 Avon “Pavé” statement necklace pairs structured geometry with fluid chainwork, creating a piece that feels both architectural and softly draped.

Multiple woven chains form a flexible collar that gathers into a dramatic drop, accented with rhinestone-set bars and a central square pavé crystal panel. The clustered stones create a surface of light, catching reflections from every angle while the gold tone mesh chains move naturally with the wearer.
