Five oval faceted stones — amethyst, peridot, champagne topaz, blue topaz, and amethyst — line up in a graduated spectrum across an oxidized sterling band framed above and below by rows of marcasite. Thai sterling workshops were producing some of the finest accessible gemstone jewelry from the 1970s onward, and the CNA maker's mark, wide tapered band, and oxidized finish suggest this piece dates to the earlier end of that tradition. Stamped 925, CNA, and Thailand on the inner band.

A carved black onyx scarab — ancient symbol of protection and transformation — sits within a marcasite halo of scalloped rounds and square-cut accent stones, set in oxidized sterling silver. The scarab as jewelry motif has recurred throughout Western ornament since the Egyptian Revival of the 19th century; this example belongs to its 1970s–80s iteration, when Egyptomania experienced another moment of cultural fascination. Stamped A925 on the band, confirming sterling silver construction.

• Design: A bold 3D "brutalist" floral cluster featuring three large, faceted amber rhinestones set in heavy, antiqued gold-tone foliage.
• The Band: Intricately embossed adjustable band with a vintage scroll pattern. The open-back design allows it to fit most size 5-9 comfortably

A charming vintage two-stone ring in the toi et moi (you and me) bypass style — one lustrous white faux pearl and one warm honey-brown tiger's eye cabochon, each prong-set and nestled together on a richly textured nugget-finish gold-tone head. The organic, molten-gold texture of the setting gives this ring a bold, handcrafted quality that suits both its stones beautifully. Stamped 18KT GE (gold electroplate) inside the band. Size 4.75.

---

◆ "Toi et moi" (you and me) rings feature two stones side by side, a design with roots in 18th-century French jewelry — Napoleon famously gave Josephine a toi et moi engagement ring. The style was widely revived in mid-century American costume jewelry.

◆ 18KT GE stands for 18 karat gold electroplate — a thick layer of 18kt gold applied over base metal, a step above standard gold plating and popular in quality American fashion jewelry of the 1960s and 1970s.

◆ Tiger's eye is a chatoyant (light-reflecting) quartz stone known for its warm golden-brown bands and silky luster — paired here with the cool luminosity of a faux pearl for a striking natural contrast.

◆ The nugget or "molten gold" texture on the setting is a hallmark of 1960s–70s American fashion jewelry, widely used to give electroplated pieces the feel of handcrafted fine jewelry.

Style: Two-stone bypass / toi et moi
Stones: Faux pearl + tiger's eye cabochon

An elegant vintage cocktail ring centered on a large oval rose quartz cabochon with a soft milky translucency. The stone is prong-set in a gold-tone mount and flanked on each shoulder by three sparkling clear rhinestones in a diagonal staircase arrangement, giving the ring a polished, dressed-up feel. The tapered shank is clean and classic. Size 5.

◆ Rose quartz is one of the most beloved semi-precious stones — known as the "stone of unconditional love," it has been used in jewelry for centuries and remains highly sought-after in vintage settings.

◆ The rhinestone shoulder accent in a staircase or diagonal arrangement is a signature design detail of mid-century cocktail jewelry, common in quality 1950s–1970s costume and semi-fine pieces.

◆ The combination of a large pale cabochon with clear sparkling side stones creates a sophisticated contrast that mimics fine jewelry — this ring photographs beautifully and wears as a true statement piece.

A serene and elegant band ring featuring a smooth, domed green jade-look stone encircled top and bottom by a delicate rope-twist gold-tone border. The deep olive-green of the stone and the warm gold trim make this a quietly striking piece — understated from a distance, beautiful up close. A classic style associated with 1960s–1970s jade jewelry design.

The ring is unmarked. The stone displays the smooth, cool surface and mottled depth of color consistent with nephrite jade, though without testing it is listed conservatively as jade-look. Size 6.5.

---

◆ Nephrite jade has been used in jewelry for thousands of years across Chinese, Maori, and Mesoamerican cultures, prized for its toughness, luster, and symbolic associations with protection, longevity, and good fortune.

◆ The rope-twist or "roped" border is a traditional goldsmithing detail with roots in ancient Roman and Byzantine jewelry, widely used in 20th-century jade ring settings to frame the stone without overpowering it.

◆ Deep olive and forest green nephrite — as opposed to the brighter apple-green jadeite — was extremely popular in mid-century American and Chinese-export jewelry of the 1960s and 70s.

The Avon "Cultured Pearl Ring" was introduced in the 1977 Avon catalog and is notable for featuring a genuine cultured pearl — not a faux or simulated stone. A single lustrous pearl is cradled in an open oval frame of twisted rope and ribbed gold-tone metal, giving the ring an elegant, organic feel that bridges classic and 70s mod sensibilities. Adjustable band fits sizes 5–6. Signed AVON.

---

◆ Avon used genuine cultured pearls in select catalog rings during the mid-to-late 1970s, making this a step above typical costume jewelry — the pearl is real, not plastic or glass.

◆ The rope twist and ribbed shank detail are hallmarks of Avon's 1970s gold-tone jewelry aesthetic, seen across their rings, bracelets, and earrings of the period.

◆ 1977 Avon pieces carry the signed AVON mark introduced in 1972 — now well-established by this date, making identification and dating straightforward for collectors.

Avon "Lustre Ring" 1972 — Faux Turquoise & Simulated Seed Pearl Cluster Ring | Signed Avon | Antiqued Gold-Tone | Adjustable Size 5–7

---

The Avon "Lustre Ring" was introduced in the 1972 Avon catalog — the first year Avon began consistently signing its jewelry, making this a milestone piece for collectors.

A central faux turquoise cabochon is encircled by eight simulated seed pearls in an antiqued open-work gold-tone setting, with matching turquoise accents along the shoulders. The lozenge-shaped cluster top draws on Victorian and Edwardian antique jewelry — perfectly in step with the early 1970s romantic revival. Adjustable band fits sizes 5–7. All stones intact.

---

◆ 1972 is the first year Avon consistently marked its jewelry — earlier pieces were often unsigned, making signed 1972 rings especially collectible.

◆ Jewelry received its own dedicated catalog section in 1971; 1972 pieces are from the very first full jewelry campaigns.

◆ The "Lustre" name nods to the warm pearl-like sheen of the simulated stones, a signature of Avon's early-70s Victorian Revival line.

A quieter composition—this vintage Lind ring centers on an oval garnet-toned stone, deep and slightly smoky, like light filtered through dusk. Around it, small dark stones gather at the crown, while slim baguette accents extend along the shoulders—structured, balanced, and restrained.

The Leaf Lights arranges five marquise-cut green rhinestones along a textured gold-tone branch, each stone cradled in its own bezel like a leaf held mid-motion. The stones graduate subtly in tone — pale peridot at the tips deepening to olive at the base — giving the cluster a naturalistic, light-shifting quality that justifies the name. Released in 1974 as part of Avon's botanical series, the Leaf Lights appeared in multiple configurations, this branch variation among the most convincingly organic.

A dense cluster of blush-coral cabochons in graduated sizes fills an oval gold setting, each stone nestled in its own scalloped textured cup, two small rhinestones tucked between them for a quiet glint of contrast. The color is the thing here — a warm, dusty blush that sits somewhere between coral and skin, soft enough to wear with everything and distinctive enough to be remembered. The heavily textured gold setting has the same considered craftsmanship seen across Avon's better 1970s cluster pieces.

A named Avon release, actively collected, and one of their more botanically honest designs — it looks like something that grew rather than something that was made.

A miniature belt buckle set in pavé rhinestones sits across a wide brushed gold band — the kind of trompe-l'oeil detail that made 1970s novelty jewelry genuinely witty.

This 925 sterling silver ring is a double heart design set with marcasite stones.  "Marcasite" in jewelry is almost always faceted iron pyrite (commonly known as "Fool's Gold"), as true mineral marcasite is too brittle for everyday wear.  Marcasite in jewelry is prized for its metallic luster that offers a subtle, "antique" alternative to the flashiness of diamonds.
