Our Favorite Vintage Charms

Charm bracelets are personal and fun. While in bygone centuries the charms were designed to keep evil spirits at bay and were therefore considered important spiritual armor, more modern uses are designed to offer the collector tangible mementos of a special occasion in the wearer’s life. The addition of a baby to the family, the first job or a wedding are some of the occasions that jewelry collectors now like to celebrate with a fanciful charm. If you love the whimsy of the charm bracelet, Peter Suchy Jewelers has the right vintage charms to tickle your fancy.

Tiffany & Co. Elsa Peretti Heart Charm 

 

Attached to an 18k yellow gold bracelet, the genuine Elsa Peretti design is perfect for the young lady who has found the love of her life. The heart design was made famous by Peretti who is also well known for her open heart pendants. Complement this charm bracelet with one of the open heart pendants from Tiffany.

Baby Carriage Charm with Turning Wheels 

 

Measuring .85 inches in length and .52 inches in height, the 14k yellow gold baby carriage is a wonder of 3D design. Its wheels turn and there is an actual baby inside the carriage. This is a wonderful gift for the mother-to-be or the new mom who just recently welcomed a baby to the family.

Spinning Roulette Wheel Charm

 

If you want to give a gift to the gambler who recently hit it big in Las Vegas, why not opt for the vintage estate 14k yellow gold charm? It spins, has a crystal cover and features a spinning bead. Measuring .86 inches in diameter and having a depth of .52 inches, this is a centerpiece for your hobby-based charm bracelet.

Tiffany & Co. Gold Key Charm 

 

Solid 18k yellow gold makes up this Tiffany charm. Made in Italy, it measures 1.60 inches from top to bottom and has a width of .63 inches. This vintage piece has all the right stamps to authenticate it as a Tiffany & Co. charm. For the new homeowner or the lady who holds the key to your heart, this is a wonderful present.

Vintage Gold Whistle Charm 

 

The material for this whistle is 14k yellow gold. This is actually a working whistle that only measures 1.03 inches from top to bottom and weighs about 4.3 grams. It is so lightweight that you love wearing it on your charm bracelet.

Our Favorite Vintage Pearl and Diamond Rings!

Unlike gemstones, which are mined from the ground, pearls are harvested from the sea. Made of calcium carbonate, they come in perfectly rounded orbs or alternative shapes. Collectors have their favorites and are not afraid to pay top dollars for those specimens that meet their expectations. Pair them with diamonds for striking jewelry pieces.

Peter Suchy Jewelers carries a wide variety of pearl and diamond rings that are sure to appeal to even the most discerning buyer.

Yellow South Sea Pearl Gold Ring 

 

The setting material is 14k solid yellow gold. It beautifully displays the yellow South Sea pearl. Fashioned after a floral motif, 20 round diamonds – weighing about .20cts – make up the rhodium leaves. The pearl measures 13.5mm. Complement this ring with yellow pearl earrings.

Tennessee River Freshwater Pearl and Diamonds Ring 

 

Who says that pearls need to be perfectly rounded? The setting of 18k solid yellow gold holds four Tennessee River fresh water pearls. Five white diamonds round out the appearance. Their total weight is .40cts. This is a sizable ring that becomes the focal point of your ensemble.

Gold Tahitian Black South Sea Pearl Ring

 

A striking black Tahitian pearl is held in a setting of 18k solid yellow gold. This vintage ring shows off the dark color of the pearl with the help of 10 round diamonds that weigh .10cts. The pearl itself measures about 11.9mm. By the way, this piece is signed by the South Sea Pearl Company, which makes it a valuable collector’s item.

South Sea Baroque Pearl Ring

 

Wear this beautiful cocktail ring when only a cultured baroque pearl with a high luster will do. The creamy white color is beautifully displayed in the 14k yellow gold setting. A diamond pave consisting of 26 full-cut stones weighing in at .85cts rounds out the jewel’s construction. The setting is built around the pearl to show it off to its fullest advantage.

Akoya Cultured Pearl in Onyx 

 

Dated to the 1960s, the base of this ring is a 14k solid yellow gold setting. It features a striking onyx gemstone that cradles a 6.9mm Akoya pearl. This center piece is framed at the top and bottom by a total of six round diamonds weighing .10cts.

Peter Suchy has found a number of breathtakingly beautiful topaz and diamond ring combinations for the discerning jewelry collector.

Famous for his cable pieces, David Yurman is a jewelry designer to the stars. This particular piece is set in sterling silver and features a sizable blue topaz in the classic cushion shape.

Another mystic topaz, this one features a marquise cut stone weighing .30cts. Fourteen diamonds in mixed shapes show off this striking gem. The setting is made of 18k solid yellow gold.

White Topaz Gold Ring with Diamond Accents

 

If you are looking for a non-traditional engagement ring, this cocktail ring might fit the bill. The 14k solid white gold setting holds a 4.33cts round white topaz in a diamond cut. Two round diamonds – weighing in at .03cts – serve as accent pieces in the setting. This is a gorgeous piece that is suitable for special occasions as well as for daily wear.
