Give Her a Vintage Red Jewel to Wear Under the Mistletoe

If you anticipate following Washington Irving’s description of claiming the kissing privilege under the mistletoe this year, why not give your special someone a gift of a vintage red jewel? Not only does it harmonize beautifully with the colors of the mistletoe berries and leaves, but it is one of the colors of the Christmas season! Peter Suchy Jewelers offers a number of breathtaking gems that fit the bill. Here are some of our favorite vintage red jewels (and they are not all rubies!).

Gold Earrings Featuring Rubies and Diamonds

 

Solid 14k yellow gold is the setting material for these earrings that are designed to be worn by those with pierced lobes. Blood-red rubies in a pear shape are the focal gemstones. Each ruby – both together weigh .95cts – is surrounded by 11 round diamonds that add tremendous sparkle to the jewels. The combined weight of the 22 diamonds is .60cts. Imagine the sparkle of these earrings during a candlelit Christmas dinner!

Buckle-style Ring with Garnets and Pearls 

 

The artisan has chosen 14k solid yellow gold for this ring. Due to the design elements, we date this ring to the 1950s. Thirty bright red garnets measure between 1mm and 1.5mm each. Weighing .40cts, they show off the gold of the setting. Eight cultured half pearls make up the buckle portion. They measure between 3mm and 4mm each. This is a striking ring that will turn plenty of heads.

Rose Gold Ring with a Cabochon-cut Coral

 

When only a cocktail ring will do, make it one fashioned from gorgeous rose gold. Our experts date this ring to the 1930s. It features an oval cabochon-cut red coral measuring 20mm by 12mm. The coral beautifully underscores the colors of the Christmas season. It is a focal point for a jewelry ensemble.

Platinum Art Deco Ring with Spinel and Diamonds 

 

You already know that the Art Deco era loved the use of platinum in all types of jewelry. This unusual ring showcases the typical Art Deco style elements. We date the jewel to the 1930s. The center stone is a spinel weighing in at 1.54cts and featuring a cushion cut. It is accentuated by six single-cut diamonds weighing .06cts. The orange-red hues of the spinel make for an amazing display of fiery red hues under changing light conditions.

Red Coral Flower Set in a Rose Gold Pendant

 

Make your declaration of love official this Christmas by handing her a red rose that will never wilt. The artisan used a 14k pink gold setting to hold a deep red coral center. It features an intricately carved rose. The diameter of the pendant is 23mm. It hangs from a 16-inch chain. If she is wearing green this holiday, this piece is going to set an eye-catching contrast.
