Memento Mori Style Ring White Enamel Light
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Memento Mori Style Ring White Enamel Light This 14k Gold Plated Ring in White Enamel has the letters LIGHT Designer: J Dauphin The Concept of Light – A Universal Symbol Across time and cultures, light has symbolized life, clarity, truth, and transformation. From the sun that sustains us to the flame that illuminates the path, light is the force that guides, heals, and reveals. It represents hope, purity, and the power of creation. To step into the light is to awaken—to see, understand, and connect to something greater. In spiritual traditions worldwide, light is seen as the bridge between the physical and the divine—a source of energy, protection, and higher wisdom. It’s a symbol that resonates with all who seek inner peace, purpose, and connection. Light in Kabbalah and Jewish Mysticism In Kabbalah, the ancient mystical tradition of Judaism, Light (Hebrew: Or) is more than a symbol—it is the divine energy of creation itself. Flowing from Ein Sof (the Infinite), this spiritual light animates all existence. It fills the soul, awakens the heart, and brings divine protection and clarity. Kabbalistic teachings describe the Light of God as pure, infinite, and always seeking to fill the vessel—whether it be a soul, a world, or a sacred object. Through Kabbalah jewelry, such as pieces engraved with Hebrew letters, sacred symbols, or Kabbalistic names of God, one can carry this light and energy of protection with them, staying connected to the divine flow throughout daily life. Whether it’s Jewish jewelry...

Antique and Vintage Rings, Cocktail Rings and Art Deco Rings for Sale on 1stDibs

Antique and vintage rings have long held a special place in the hearts of fine jewelry lovers all over the world.

No matter their origin or specific characteristics, rings are timeless, versatile accessories. They’ve carried deep meaning since at least the Middle Ages, when diamond rings symbolized strength and other kinds of rings were worn to signify romantic feelings or to denote an affiliation with a religious order. Rings have also forever been emblematic of eternity.

Over time, rings have frequently taken the form of serpents, which have long been associated with eternal life, health and renewal. Italian luxury jewelry house Bulgari has become famous for its widely loved Serpenti motif, for example, and its Serpenti ring, like the other accessories in the collection, began as an homage to jewelry of the Roman and Hellenistic eras. The serpent is now a popular motif in fine jewelry. Jewelry devotees have long pined for rings adorned with reptiles, thanks to antique Victorian rings — well, specifically, Queen Victoria’s illustrious engagement ring, which took the form of a gold snake set with rubies, diamonds and an emerald (her birthstone). Designs for Victorian-era engagement rings often featured repoussé work and chasing, in which patterns are hammered into the metal.

Engagement rings, which are reliably intimidating to shop for, are still widely recognized as symbols of love and commitment. On 1stDibs, a range of buying guides can be found for those in the market for antique engagement ringsvintage engagement rings or Art Deco engagement rings

The most collectible antique engagement rings and vintage engagement rings are those from the Victorian, Edwardian and Art Deco eras. Named for the monarchies of the four King Georges, who in succession ruled England starting in 1714 (plus King William’s reign), antique Georgian rings, be they engagement rings or otherwise, are also coveted by collectors. Pearls, along with colored gemstones like garnets, rubies and sapphires, were widely used in Georgian jewelry. The late-1700s paste jewelry was a predecessor to what we now call fashion or costume jewelry

The Art Nouveau movement (1880–1910) brought with it rings inspired by the natural world. Antique Art Nouveau rings might feature depictions of winged insects and fauna as well as women, who were simultaneously eroticized and romanticized, frequently with long flowing hair. Art Deco jewelry, on the other hand, which originated during the 1920s and ’30s, is by and large “white jewelry.” White metals, primarily platinum, were favored over yellow gold in the design of antique Art Deco rings and other accessories as well as geometric motifs, with women drawn to the era’s dazzling cocktail rings in particular.

Whether you’re hunting down a chunky classic for a Prohibition-themed cocktail party or seeking a clean contemporary design to complement your casual ensemble, find an exquisite collection of antique, new and vintage rings on 1stDibs.
