An elegant and very rare variation in Tiffany’s classic “Etoile” line, the gold band is set with brilliant round-cut rubies instead of the typical diamonds. It's nearly impossible to find Etoile rings in either the sapphire version (currently sold only in Tiffany's Hong Kong store) or ruby version. The color contrast of the gemstones against the gold is very nice. The interior of the shank is fully hallmarked “Tiffany & Co. 750”.Origin: America, ca. 1995. Condition: excellent, all original. Size: 5/32” wide. Finger Size: 5-3/4. Approximate Total Gemstone Weight: .53 carat.

A delightful early 14K yellow gold brooch by William Ruser. The pin is fully three-dimensional and depicts a child strumming a guitar and leaning against a lamppost. The child, his eyes set with sapphires, stands on a "sidewalk" paved with a pair of long Mississippi River pearls. Creative use of these oddly shaped freshwater pearls was characteristic of Ruser's work. Ruser opened his Beverly Hills gallery in 1947 and quickly became a favored jeweler of Claudette Colbert, Joan Crawford and Loretta Young. He was especially noted for designs featuring children, poodles and cherubs. The back is marked "14K R", which is sometimes seen in Ruser's earlier pieces instead of the fully spelled-out signature.Origin: America, ca. 1950. Condition: excellent, all original. Size: 1-7/16" wide; 2-3/8" tall. Weight: 23.5 grams.
