White and Russet Jade Ceremonial Artifact
Located in San Diego, CA
This jade artifact features a meticulously arranged pattern of four rows of raised features which symbolize grain 谷纹 on its surface. These grain 谷纹 rise slightly, and around them delicate C-shape cloud motifs are intricately carved. The pattern, though subtle, exudes refinement and sophistication. Unfortunately, its intricacy makes it challenging to capture accurately through a camera lens.
The pattern carved on the ring can been clearly seen by referring to the diagram in the last image below. Originally, this jade ring boasted a pristine white color. However, over time, buried underground in a tomb, it underwent a transformation due to exposure to the elements—specifically, 土侵 (soil infiltration), possibly influenced by iron. As a result, a significant portion of the jade ring turned a warm orange hue, while a smaller section retained its original white color.
During the Warring States Period, jade held great significance as a ceremonial object (礼器) and symbolized high social status. Similar patterns of grain (谷纹) and cloud motifs (钩连云纹) can be observed in other Warring States Period artifacts, such as jade cups and Jade Bi, housed in the National Museum of China.
Over the centuries, calcification and the elements have worn off the glossy finish of the ring.
Note: Our light source caused some yellow hues to appear in some of our photographs. The actual piece does not have any yellow hues. The color of the piece is closer to the first image, and this Western Han Dynasty jade sword...

White Jade Mythical Beast
Located in San Diego, CA
Carved out of white and yellow-toned jade, this beautiful mythical beast rests on its four limbs like a lion in the Serengeti. Each limb is given finely-carved claws and a round pad on the paw.
On its head, one can see intricately carved teeth, nostrils, a goatee, and a mythical cloud-like pattern above its eyebrows. Notably, there is a half-dome extrusion representing a third eye positioned between the eyes. Nine ridges of the spine run along the back with finely-carved fur on each side. The three-tipped tail curls up toward the head.
Its surface is exceptionally polished with a patina. The bottom of the jade beast has multi-layered ivory-colored inclusions.
Historical References:
Compare this jade mythical beast to similar 18th century pieces from the Metropolitan Museum in New York. In this 18th century lion and cub, notice the similar shape of ears, hair and ridges along the spine, and the cloud-patterned eyebrows. The distinct ears of our jade beast can also be seen on this 18th century jade beast too. Pictures attached.

Antique Victorian 9K Yellow Gold Oval Engraved Locket Ring
Located in Staines-Upon-Thames, GB
An antique yellow gold ring, comprising one oval shaped locket compartment, in 9 karat yellow gold, to a band of 9 karat yellow gold.
This amazing ring is set to the centre with an oval shaped head, which is beautifully tactile, like a smooth pebble. The oval is beautifully engraved to one side with a heart motif, and elegant scrolls. The engraved panel opens on a hinge, revealing a secret locket compartment. Rings like this were popular in the Victorian era and are often referred to as ‘poison’ rings. They are rare pieces, and are not often found, let alone in wearable condition. Photographs or small mementos could be placed within the locket, the heart shaped engraving would suggest this ring had a sentimental purpose, you can feel the love associated with it, when you wear this ring. The shoulders lead to a carved band of polished yellow gold. The locket snaps shut securely, and it does rattle slightly as is common with rings like these, but the hinge is still strong. The ring is in good condition, with a tiny ding to the underside of the locket compartment. This ding does not affect wearability and cannot be seen when worn. Wear and tear acquiescent with age.
The head of the ring measures 10.7mm high, and 13.2mm wide. The band measures 2.7mm wide at the back.
Gross weight: 1.68g
Ring size: approximately a UK – K US – 5.25 EU – 50 with some leeway either side, due to the shape of the back of the ring

Diamond Rings, Luxury Watches and Other Antique and Vintage Fine Jewelry and Estate Jewelry on 1stDibs
Our love for diamond rings, luxury watches and other antique and vintage fine jewelry and estate jewelry goes back thousands of years.
Jewelry has long been a symbol of spiritual strength, wealth or power and, of course, a means of personal expression. While materials and processes employed by the world’s most popular jewelry houses — Tiffany & Co., Cartier, BVLGARI and others — have evolved over time, humans still gravitate toward many of the same accessories that our ancestors wore.
Ancient Egyptians were often hard at work designing jewelry and adorning themselves with an array of necklaces, rings and other items, and nearly every Egyptian, rich or poor, was buried with some kind of jewelry. When King Tut’s burial chamber was excavated, it revealed a sense of style that inspired Art Deco jewelry designs.
Brooches and pins remain essentials in our jewelry boxes, although we no longer require them to fasten our garments, as was once their primary use. Rings, which have always been signifiers of eternity, still serve as romantic gifts and tokens of affection. Engagement rings are still widely recognized as symbols of love and commitment — and as it can be difficult to choose the right one, explore our buying guides for a close look at antique engagement rings, Art Deco engagement rings and vintage engagement rings. [Fun fact: It wasn’t until the 14th century that we learned how to effectively cut diamonds, a critical step in revealing the stone’s brilliance.]
Hoop earrings are imbued with symbolism and cultural significance for many, and on view in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Ancient Near Eastern Art Gallery is a pair of simple gold hoops from Mesopotamia dating to between 2600 and 2500 B.C. We’ve even created our own new, sacred symbols — the Cartier Love bracelet, for example, with its distinctive locking mechanism, is an understated and modernist symbol of love’s promise (with its own captivating history to boot). And, crafted by French jeweler Jacques Arpels of Van Cleef & Arpels, the Magic Alhambra necklace channels luck for the wearer with its universally adored design, which is informed by four-leaf clovers, a plant synonymous with good fortune.
Whether it’s our sentimental charm jewelry, costume jewelry, chunky retro bracelets or minimalist earrings created by the likes of contemporary designers WHITE/SPACE and Agmes, luxurious jewels can elevate any outfit, regardless of your personal style.
Find a wide-ranging collection of authentic antique, new and vintage jewelry today on 1stDibs.
