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. Avon produced bow motif jewelry throughout the 1980s in consistent quality, and this one holds up — signed on the interior shank and in very good condition for its age.

A single cream faux pearl sits at the center of two sweeping bypass bands, each set with a row of clear crystal rhinestones and edged in fine milgrain detail.

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. The silhouette is clean and slightly Art Deco in spirit — symmetrical, confident, built around the stone rather than around the setting. One of the more convincing faux-emerald pieces Avon produced.

A faceted aqua blue pear-cut stone sits within an open swirl frame, flanked by a scatter of prong-set clear rhinestones that trail off like the tail of a comet. The teardrop cut catches light from every angle, and its cool blue-topaz tone reads effortlessly against warm gold. The asymmetric swirl setting gives this ring a fluid, almost organic quality unusual for its era. It moves between casual and dressed up without announcing either.

Two heart-shaped stones nestle together in an offset toi et moi setting — one deep garnet red, one clear crystal — each bezel-set and accented by small prong-set rhinestones at the corners. The toi et moi (you and me) format has appeared in fine jewelry since the 18th century, most famously in Napoleon's proposal ring to Joséphine, and this Avon interpretation carries that romantic geometry into everyday wear. The pairing of red and clear against warm gold is bold without effort. A ring with a love story built into its form.

Three lavender marquise stones cascade diagonally across a split bypass shank, flanked by two silver tone rhinestone bars that cross at the center like a constellation in motion. The color sits in that rare blue-violet range that mimics tanzanite, cool and atmospheric against the warm gold setting.

It wears beautifully on its own and needs nothing else.

Two opposing diagonal ribbed bands sweep across a domed face, meeting at the center in a knot-like crossover — sculptural, tactile, and entirely stoneless. This kind of bold dome construction was a hallmark of 1970s gold tone jewelry, drawing from the era's love of texture and form over ornament. It wears like a statement but sits close to the finger with unexpected comfort. The kind of ring that photographs beautifully and earns compliments in real life.

Three deep forest-green baguette stones set diagonally across the face, flanked by rows of prong-set clear rhinestones, a composition that nods to Art Deco geometry while sitting firmly in the 1970s.

Description
A marquise-shaped panel of oxidized silver-tone filigree frames a single purple rhinestone at its center — petite teardrops and a beaded border arranged with the quiet geometry of a medieval reliquary.

A piece that reads as older than it is, in the best way.

A large emerald-cut aqua blue rhinestone dominates this silver-tone Avon ring, set high in a four-prong corner setting with open scrollwork shoulders that keep the design light despite the stone's scale. The pale blue-gray color reads like shallow ocean water held in place — cool, clear, and quietly arresting. Avon produced rings of this quality and proportion throughout the 1970s and into the 80s, drawing on fine jewelry proportions to give their costume pieces genuine presence. A strong cocktail ring with an understated elegance.

A broad, architectural gold-tone setting cradles a single round faux pearl, its ridged and faceted shoulders radiating outward like rays from a sun — or the ribs of a shell. The substantial weight and geometric form place this firmly in the 1970s, when signet-style rings were worn with intention and jewelry leaned bold and structural. The pearl reads soft against the heavily textured metal, an unexpected pairing that gives the piece real character. Wears with the confidence of a statement ring and the ease of an everyday one.

A round faux fire opal cabochon glows at the center of this ring, its surface shifting between warm gold, blush, and pale iridescence depending on the light — the effect is genuinely luminous. Textured gold-tone feather-like leaves curl around it from both sides, and three small clear rhinestones scatter loosely along the lower edge like morning dew. The overall composition is loose and organic, more like something found in a garden than assembled on a bench. One of Avon's more poetically designed pieces from their 1970s nature-inspired era.

This piece is part of Avon’s “Fan Fare” design, released in the mid-1970s. The marquise-shaped rhinestones form a soft, radiating fan, anchored by a luminous pearl set low and centered. The curve above it gives the whole piece a sense of motion—like something just beginning to unfold.

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.
