Valentine’s Day 2020 is coming up very quickly. What do you have in mind for your Valentine or rather what do you have in mind for yourself that your valentine should buy for you?
At #FOREVAGEMS, we have a wonderful selection of rings, but our latest addition might be just what you’re looking for when it comes to buying for someone you love. WHY? Because if there is one symbol that expresses love even better than a red heart, it’s a genuine red pear-shaped ruby that makes you think love and heart immediately...and #FOREVAGEMS has that ring for you. What’s more, is that the fiery ruby is surrounded by 48 brilliant diamonds. Just look at our video below:
Isn’t it stunning? The ruby and diamonds are set in 14k white gold. The ruby is Eye-clean and has no chips or abrasions...wonderful to find in a vintage ring. The ring is a size 7 but can be sized up or down if needed.
You can learn everything you need to know and see more photos of this VALENTINE beauty at #FOREVAGEMS. It comes with an appraisal of $4900 CAD. Don’t let this one get away. It’s unique...like you!
When you think of sapphires what colour immediately comes to mind? Most people would say blue. Did you know that the record price for a sapphire was set in April 2007 at Christie's in New York, when an unnamed 22.66 carat blue Kashmir sapphire sold for over 3 million dollars! Wow!
Of course most of us can only dream of owning a sapphire of that value but at forevagems, we do have some incredibly beautiful blue sapphires and at much more affordable prices. Just look at the beauties in these photographs (watch video)
But beautiful sapphires also come in other shades: green, pink, purple, yellow, orange. Here’s just a handful of lovely sapphire rings currently available at Forevagems.(Watch video)
One of the most desirable, rare and highly sought after sapphire colours is thepadparascha. It’s a glorious pinky orange or coral color. How popular are pads? Well let’s just say that the few that you’ll see in the following pictures were sold almost as fast as we listed them at forevagems. (Watch video)
Did you know some sapphires, like alexandrites, change color depending on lighting? Look at the color shift in this stunning and unusual purple sapphire and diamond ring in our Forevagems shop. (Watch video)
And of course, no discussion of highly prized sapphires would be complete without mentioning those exotic and rare star sapphires, like this knockout purple star sapphire diamond cocktail ring just sold to one of our customers. (Watch video)
As she wrote to us after receiving her exquisite ring: “I received it yesterday and LOVE it. Thank you again, and compliments on The photography. It was spot on.”
That’s the kind of feedback we love to receive and often do from our Forevagems clientele. Don’t you owe it to yourself to drop into our online shop at Ruby Lane today? You’ll find us at www.forevagems.com.

At Forevagems, we are always on the lookout for rare, unheated gemstones, and while there’s nothing wrong with standard heated sapphires and rubies, there’s simply something extra special about owning an unheated sparkler that hasn’t endured ANY treatment apart from cutting and faceting. To know these gems came out of the earth in their rarest and most spectacular form needing nothing but cutting and faceting is what we like most to offer our clients.
So here are two stunning yellow sapphire and diamond vintage rings from our collection to yours. To learn more about either of these rings or to view other stunning rings and necklaces, visit our shop at Forevagems at Ruby Lane now.
While superb diamond and gemstone rings make up the majority of our collection of vintage jewelry at #Forevagems, we love fine antique necklaces and pendants too, and over the years have offered a stunning variety of these beautiful neck adornments.
We invite you to enjoy the video above featuring an art nouveau grapevine necklace, an outstanding and rare Victorian sapphire and pearl pendant, a 14k amethyst swirl pendant, along with an onyx pearl pendant, an unbelievably lovely 14k topaz and diamond necklace and for you cat lovers, a sweet cat pendant...just to name a few.
Enjoy and slip over to FOREVAGEMS when you’re finished to learn more about each piece, including the prices...all very reasonable for such valuable keepsakes.
Oh my goodness! I can't believe it's been over 6 months since I last posted in this Forevagems Blog. But I have a good excuse...I think! It's called a wedding...my daughter's...and the 2 years of planning finally all came together in May 2019. Of course, all the planning and prep, along with a hard drive that died on my computer a month ago, kind of interfered with blogging and lots of other things.
Anyway, here I am back again to bring you up to date on the several sensational rings that have been added to the small, but very select collection of vintage genuine gemstone and diamond rings offered by #Forevagems, like the magnificent unheated Yellow Sapphire and Diamond ring shown above. As the ad says, in this ring "elegance meets chic" in a vintage ring. It's currently a re-sizable 7-7.25. Please visit THIS LINK to read all the details.
It's positively breathtaking! That's a 4.35ct cushion cut sapphire in the centre, flanked by 2 pear-shaped diamonds that total 0.36cts! Then there's all those other 72 round-cut sparkling diamonds surrounding those 2 diamonds and forming a diamond-studded bezel for that superb blue sapphire. And to top it off, the entire ring is set in platinum. No wonder it comes with an appraisal of over $27,000 CAD! Read up all the wondrous details at THIS LINK. The ring is currently "on sale" and yes, layaway is available.
There are several other new additions to the Forevagems collection and a number of them are currently being offered at sale prices. If you have an anniversary or like to Christmas shop ahead of time, the time to look is right now. Stop by today!

I just adore this ring! The 3/4ct center diamond is a soft, light brownish yellow color offering the bride something just a little different in her engagement ring.
