I bought Mrs Js engagement ring from a shop on the High Street, that was [s]second hand[/s] vintage. Can't remember the name, but on the right about half way up sounds familiar.

Funnily enough, I've just been looking around myself!

Came across [url= http://www.thehonourablecompany.com/ ]The Honourable Company[/url] and their [url= http://www.thehonourablecompany.com/gold.htm ]ancient gold rings[/url]... might be a bit more vintage than you were after though!

Note, I have only a google relationship with them, but their name seems reassuring 😀

My wife is into her antique jewellery.

Are all eBay stores that we've used recently.
Art deco, Victorian, all sorts, all prices.
Just got her a 1930s art deco diamond & platinum ring for her 40th - I am so due the bike of my dreams for that!

Friend of ours called Kate halfpenny, designs her own range of jewellery with a vintage style, all different and highly niche at the moment. She's currently blazing a trail in the fashion world, having just dressed rihannah for some awards etc. Works with Coleen Rooney for littlewoods etc, even divvi minogue wore one of her necklaces on the x factor. If you want something that's bang on the money Fashion wise then google her.

Thanks for the link to the Egyptian ring, but you'll be shocked to learn it's a fake! I know this because I visited a museum in London and discovered that all genuine ancient Egyptian faces look like this:

Fact.
