Ever since I was a little girl, I dreamed of sifting through Grandma’s jewelry box. The anticipation of treasures that could be discovered under layers of gold chains and strands of pearls was almost too much to bear. I can picture Grandma wearing this labradorite cocktail ring from Sylvia with pleated fine wool crepe to a ladies lunch.

A large green stone set against a wide, textured, sterling silver setting - it’s the perfect antique complement to any modern style. And because it’s handmade, each ring is one of-a-kind. My search is over - only it’s not actually from Grandma’s jewelry box. (Well, it's over for now!) $168.
