FANTASTIC JEWELRY SALE 24 Feb. 24, 2026: Antique Old European‑cut Ring, mid‑cen

More than 2,500 lots are cataloged for Eric's Estate & Jewelry's online sale on Feb. 24, 2026, and the house highlights an “an Antique Old European‑cut diamond engagement ring, vintage marquise diamond solitaires, mid‑cen” among its featured entries. The breadth of the catalog runs from solitaire engagement rings to statement pieces and a 7 1/2 inch diamond cable link tennis bracelet, giving buyers a wide cross section of 14K yellow, white, and rose gold work.

The Antique Old European diamond engagement ring is described in the lot as 14K yellow and white gold with a 1/2 ct Old European cut center graded VS clarity and J color, accompanied by two high quality .03 ct diamonds, ring size 6 3/4 and gross weight 3.0 g. Paired metal tones and small accent stones are tangible clues to the ring’s intended visual balance: yellow gold for warmth and white gold mounting where present to reduce color contrast against the J center.

Antique cuts recur across the sale. A vintage two stone Old European cut Toi et Moi ring in 14K yellow gold lists two Old European diamonds with a combined 1/2 ct TW, VS clarity and I color, an expandable shank and a ring size of 3 1/2, gross weight 3.2 g. The catalog copy notes plainly that the “Shank expands to allow getting ring over knuckle,” a practical feature that collectors will want to verify in condition photos.

Modern-style solitaires and cocktail rings provide contrast. A 14K white gold vintage solitaire houses a high quality round brilliant of 1/2 ct, VS clarity, H color, size 6 and 2.7 g. A round brilliant solitaire in 14K yellow gold with white gold prongs is listed at 2/3 ct, SI2 clarity, K color, described as “eye clean and great cut for lots of sparkle,” size 7 and 2.3 g. For evening wear, a vintage diamond cocktail ring in 14K yellow gold contains nine approximately .11 ct rounds for 1.0 ct TW, VS clarity, F color, size 8 and gross weight 5.1 g.

Non-diamond materiality appears in several lots. A vintage Akoya pearl and ruby statement ring in 14K yellow gold pairs four 7 mm cultured Akoya pearls, catalogued as “creamy white color and pink undertones, beautiful nacre and luster”, with a natural .09 ct round ruby. An antique purple and white sapphire ring in 14K rose gold centers a natural 10 x 8 mm oval purple sapphire that shows a “slight color shift from blue to violet purple depending on the light source”; the lot text then continues “Also contains one” and is truncated in the entry, a detail that requires the auction house to confirm what additional stone or component is referenced.

A designer sapphire and diamond statement ring in 14K white gold lists eight AAA quality 6 x 4 mm pear cut sapphires and nineteen high quality round cut diamonds, followed in the entry by “1/3ct” and an ellipsis; the catalog copy does not clarify whether 1/3 ct refers to total diamond weight or another measure. Practical details are precise elsewhere: the diamond cable link tennis bracelet is 14K yellow and white gold with forty-eight diamonds totaling 1.5 ct TW, SI clarity, I color, measures 7 1/2 inches long by 9.3 mm wide, includes a “safety clasp” and weighs 19.3 g.

The catalog excerpts lack lot numbers, estimate ranges, and certification statements; several LiveAuctioneers entries are truncated at key points and should be confirmed with Eric's Estate & Jewelry before bidding. Verify lot numbers, condition photos, high resolution images, and any GIA or lab reports for the Old European-cut centers and the designer sapphire ring to assess color, clarity, and provenance ahead of the Feb. 24, 2026 sale.
