Antique Rare 18k Yellow Gold 1.4cttw Emerald .86cttw Old Mine Diamond Full-Size Purse

$49,500

Complimentary Shipping & Returns

Discover this antique 18k yellow gold full-size purse with an exceptionally rare engraved mesh design, featuring emeralds, green glass, and old mine cut diamonds. All gemstones are natural, earth-mined stones unless stated otherwise.

Please refer to the photographs for an accurate color depiction, as the video may not accurately represent the color.

Piece Number: 25376

Appraiser Notes:
Please note that the central gem in this purse tests consistent with glass, different to the six surrounding natural emeralds. We wanted to honor the original condition in which we received this piece, and so we have left this green glass in place, as it is a testament to the long life of this purse and the storied journeys it has undoubtedly been on. We are more than happy to replace the glass with an emerald of the same size, upon request at no charge, as a complimentary a way to make this incredible item more tailored to you.

This purse features several stamps that appear to be the French owl import stamp for 18k gold, though the marks are worn. This stamp was implemented in 1893 and indicates gold items of 18k gold that were crafted elsewhere and then imported into France.

The wonderful engraved motifs include flowing flourishes, flowers, and a central flaming torch flanked by outstretched feathered wings. Their meaning is fascinating to ponder.

Metal: 18k Yellow Gold
Main Stone: Emerald
Additional Stones: Old Mine Cut Diamond, Green Glass

Customer photo review of Vintage 14k Yellow Gold Dimensional Figural Goat Charm / Pendant

I have a vintage charm bracelet with animal charms and needed another charm to fill an empty loop and this adorable goat charm is perfect! I love the fact that it is three-dimensional so it will look good no matter which way the charm is hanging.

Customer photo review of Vintage 14k Yellow Gold Aquamarine Blue Sapphire Diamond Openwork Ring 9.00

I had bought this ring because my grandmother who had passed years prior, she always wore an Aquamarine ring that I loved. My birthstone is Sapphire. When I saw this ring, I immediately knew I had to have it since it has both Aquamarine & Sapphire stones, I saw it as sentimental. It is so stunning in person. I am a repeat customer of Abbott & Oaks due to their wonderful customer service & unique jewelry they offer.

Customer photo review of Vintage 14k Yellow & White Gold Diamond Classic Line Band Ring 8.00

I'd been looking for a vintage 1940s white and yellow gold diamond line ring to add as an anniversary band to my family heirloom engagement and wedding ring set from the 1940s. I'd just about given up on finding a vintage ring and then this showed up! The ring matches my set so well. I wear it with the other two rings for a more formal look and substitute it in with only the wedding band for a more minimal look. It is so perfect, like it was meant to be!

Customer photo review of Vintage 14k Yellow Gold 1.2mm Wheat Chain 18"

This 14 karat yellow gold vintage wheat chain is the perfect length and style to complement the charm holder pendant I previously bought from Abbott & Oaks! It is a substantial chain that I know is strong enough to securely hold the pendant and charms. I am delighted with how it looks!

Customer photo review of Antique 14k Rosy Yellow Gold Botanical Orange Blossom Band Ring 5.00

I was hesitant but so glad I chose to buy. I LOVE my band. It is so beautiful, fits perfectly, and the engraving inside from 1919 makes it even more precious. I wish I knew the stories it held, but we are making new ones to add. I hope it'll be passed to one of my daughters to love too. Great company, fast shipping, exactly as described. Love it!

Fantastic Star Sapphire ring with beautiful color changing and asterism effect. I can’t say enough good things about Abbott and Oaks; this is my fifth purchase, and I look forward to more! I also appreciate that there are always several pieces available that are balanced enough for men too.

Customer photo review of Vintage 14k White Gold 1.77ct Aquamarine Diamond Accented Halo Ring 6.50

I had four rings stolen by a cleaning service employee. All four had significant sentimental value. One was the aquamarine my parents gave me in 1997 to celebrate the birth of my first child. While nothing can ever replace what I had, the minute I saw this aquamarine I experienced such joy. It is vintage 90s and helped heal my heart. My daughter thought is was wonderful as well. It was more beautiful in person than in the photos too! I love it so much and I am a very satisfied customer.

Customer photo review of Vintage 14k Yellow Gold .6cttw Diamond Lovely Open Ornate Enamel Ring 5.00

It was so fun to look at all the beautiful pieces and choose 1 that I just fell in love with. It was a big decision and a rep from Abbott & Oak was there to answer all my questions and with their return policy it took away the concern I had if I didnt like what I chose that I would have to keep it. I can't wait to pick something again in the future and I love my ring!
