{"product_id":"antique-art-deco-9ct-gold-blue-topaz-ring-50191","title":"Antique Art Deco 9ct Gold Blue Topaz Ring \u0026 Brooch Set | Original Fitted Presentation Case","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn exquisite antique Art Deco jewellery suite dating to the 1920s, comprising a 9ct white gold ring and matching bar brooch, each set with a natural blue topaz. Remarkably, both pieces survive together in their original blue fitted presentation case, making this a particularly appealing and uncommon find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gemstones display a clear, luminous icy-blue colour, beautifully complemented by the cool sheen of the white gold. Any warmer tones visible in photographs are reflections from the surrounding environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ring is centred by a striking elongated baguette-cut topaz, securely held in four double claws. The shoulders taper elegantly towards the setting, while the slender yet substantial band gives the design a lovely sense of proportion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe matching brooch echoes these clean architectural lines, with an exceptionally long, slender bar centred by an unusual coffin-cut topaz. Its distinctive elongated hexagonal shape is characteristic of the bold geometric designs favoured during the Art Deco period. The brooch is solid gold throughout, including the pin, and fastens with an early roll-over safety clasp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ring is stamped '9CT' and carries the maker's mark 'CyBs', identifying Coley Brothers of Birmingham, a distinguished jewellery house founded in 1870. The brooch also bears a matching '9CT' stamp. Both gemstones have been tested using a Presidium gem tester and identified as natural blue topaz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA particularly romantic choice for a wedding couple, with the icy-blue topaz ring becoming the bride's 'something blue' and the matching bar brooch a stylish lapel jewel for the groom. Two pieces of Art Deco history brought together for a new chapter in their story, perhaps to become cherished family heirlooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA century after their creation, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully preserved antique jewellery suite, complete with its original fitted case, distinctive geometric gemstones and identifiable Birmingham maker. A wonderful piece of jewellery history to treasure and pass down through generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHE DETAILS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eERA: Art Deco, circa 1920s\u003cbr\u003e\nMETAL: 9ct white gold\u003cbr\u003e\nGEMSTONES: Two natural blue topaz\u003cbr\u003e\nRING GEMSTONE: Elongated baguette cut, measuring 14.84 × 7.11mm\u003cbr\u003e\nBROOCH GEMSTONE: Unusual coffin cut, measuring 14.12 × 7mm\u003cbr\u003e\nMAKER: Coley Brothers, Birmingham (maker’s mark “CyBs” on the ring)\u003cbr\u003e\nHALLMARKS: Both pieces stamped 9CT\u003cbr\u003e\nWEIGHT: Ring 2.7g; brooch 3.3g; total 6g\u003cbr\u003e\nRING SIZE: UK N½ \/ US 7\u003cbr\u003e\nBROOCH LENGTH: 6.5cm (2½ inches)\u003cbr\u003e\nINCLUDED: Original blue fitted presentation case\u003cbr\u003e\nCONDITION: Both pieces are in excellent antique condition, with minimal signs of wear or use.
