Antique Diamond Rings - Bringing the Past Back to Life

By Peter Leigh

We live today in an increasingly disposable culture, where everything comes in plastic wrapping and needs to be replaced every year or so. Is it any wonder that amidst this cacophony of the temporary that many people are looking for a greater sense of permanence in the things they hope to hold dear forever? At a time when fifty percent of marriages end in divorce, choosing something that has already stood the test of time is a gesture of profound hope. Perhaps this is why, despite the huge range of modern jewelry available today, many people choose antique diamond rings. Antique diamond rings are more and more popular.

An antique diamond engagement ring is the perfect way to celebrate your love. Genuine antique jewelry is sourced in many ways, from estates and antique stores, and there are many high quality jewellers who specialise in antique sales. An antique diamond ring captures a sense of longevity and offers a sense of hidden history to the celebration of a burgeoning relationship that implies the continuation of love and life. The giving of an antique diamond engagement ring can fill a time of hope with a sense of completion, the feeling that as one love affair has ended, another one begins.

Antique diamond rings offer a sense of real individuality. Unlike much of the mass marketed jewelry that is available today, an antique piece is truly one of a kind. This also means, however, an antique ring comes as it is seen � unlike many modern rings that are made to order, you cannot tweak the design of a genuine antique diamond ring, or purchase it in a different color. Many designers, however, can produce a replica item, which can be altered � this provides the antique look in a brand new ring. For many people, this combines the best of both worlds.

Many people find themselves with a piece of antique jewelry that carries immense sentimental value in a form they will never wear. If this is the case for you, why not consider having the stone from that old necklace recast into something else? A precious stone can be passed through the generations in many different forms. Bestow a brand new piece of jewelry the sense of history on an antique by keeping an old stone alive � make your own antique diamond ring, and keep the past alive in a modern form.

Parliament Clocks. During the 18th century these large clocks were displayed in inns and taverns. They are of a plain design and approximately two to five feet in diameter. The name comes from a brief tax against clocks passed in 1787 but repealed after a few months. Popular legend holds that the clocks were displayed in protest of the tax.

I am about to buy an early cherry cupboard - well over 100 years old. The question I have it only has 4 original glass panes and the rest have been replaced. Those replacements are still old but not original. The piece is an unbelievable piece but how bad does this affect the value of the piece? Thanks!!
 
that was a dandy article...thank you
