For all you suckers for authentic vintage 1stdibs.com launches on-line marketplace for estate and fine jewelry.
1stdibs slogan is, “Do the planet a favor, buy antiques and vintage design.”

We peeked around the new shop online site and found pretty affordable pieces of art, they just so happen to all be in Gold. We even found some 19th Century French Cufflink and Stud Set for a Tux that just might be in need of some links in the near future. They are on the pricer side at $4,400 but, then again they are from the 19th Century. Remember all the pieces below that are vintage they are the only one of their kind.

The adorable bird ring by Julius Cohen is not actually vintage but they had it on their site and we love birds. It is made of 18kt gold with a diamond eye and an oval diamond center stone and runs for $2,800.

Next to that we have a 1980’s 18K gold filigree ring with center ruby signed Toliro for $1,100. It is so crazy that the 80’s is vintage.

Another none new item we found on there was this ring with gleaming hues of purple. Which is part of a collection inspired by the whimsical shapes and colors in a kaleidoscope. Designed and made in-house by Julius Cohen New York. 2,400. The ring at the bottom right hand corner was also designed by Julius Cohen, I guess this designer drew us in.

The hand-made 18K gold cuff bracelet with multi-colored gemstones including citrine, amethyst, peridot, tourmaline, garnets, aqua-marine and topaz from the 70’s is so incredibly stunning and will cost you $4,400.

The Box Link Chain in the middle with Victorian Fragrance Bottle Pendant comes from England and dates the Late 19th Century and is $4,400.
