Prized for centuries, the amethyst is included in royal collections the world over, from ancient Egypt to the British crown jewels. In days gone by, the amethyst held a place of honor in the Christian church, worn on Bishops’ rings. The royal purple color represents Christ. For a time, the amethyst was valued equally with the diamond, until great finds in South America and elsewhere made it more plentiful. This splendiferous ring includes a genuine, deep violet amethyst that weighs 1.25 carats and measures 7mm and four diamonds on each side for a total of eight diamonds weighing 0.16 carats in all. The striking cushion-cut checkerboard amethyst sits above a stunning white gold band that has two lines of milgrain beads of solid gold. This is truly a ring fit for your very own princess!

1.75 CARAT OVAL CUT PERIDOT & DIAMOND RING IN 14K WHITE GOLD

Let our New Year’s resolution be this: we will be there for one another as fellow members of humanity, in the finest sense of the word. ~ Goran Persson

The French named this beautiful stone peritot, meaning gold, because the gemstone can vary towards this color. With an extremely long written history, we know that the peridot was mined as early as 1500 BC, and were sought for in the night as well as in daylight hours due to the stone’s natural radiance. This 1.75 carat, oval, 10mm x 8mm gemstone is characteristically glowing and bright, and is accented with 4 round-cut diamonds in a beautiful band of 14k white gold. The peridot is the national gemstone of Egypt, and it can grace the hand of a loved one or can be your own personal bit of ancient history to wear. The ring is a simple, understated elegance that will be a favorite in any jewelry collection and is also available with an amethyst, an aquamarine, a green amethyst, or a smoky quartz in place of the peridot. We have a wide collection of two-stone rings for you to choose from, too.

LONDON BLUE TOPAZ GEMSTONE SOLITAIRE RING IN 14K WHITE GOLD

Each age has deemed the new-born year the fittest time for festal cheer. ~ Walter Scott

A festive New Year deserves a festive piece of jewelry to celebrate it, and this classic solitaire ring is the exact way to ring in the new. An impressive London blue topaz gemstone, held in place with four solid gold prongs, is striking in the depth of its color and the brilliance of its sparkle. A plain, white gold band supports it but doesn’t detract from the satisfying grandeur of the single gem. It comes in several sizes, so you can go as large or small as you like. Your choice of 6mm (0.85 carats), 7mm (1.25 carats), or 8mm sizes (2.05 carats).

Resolution One: I will live for God. Resolution Two: If no one else does, I still will. ~ Jonathan Edwards
