Vintage Wedding Ring

[pinkjudy45]

I'm looking for a yellow gold wedding ring that is a brick design that when it's removed from your finger it collapses, I think Tiffany or Cartier used to make them in 1960-1970s. Does anybody know if these rings can still be bought, if so, where? Any help would be much appreciated.

It was Cartier that made them, they're lovely and available second hand only I imagine from auction houses and fine jewellers.

Oh some beautiful rings on there

You want vintage cartier, you pay it... it would be cheaper to find goldsmith with no scruples to copy it. As it's in the US I'd need to add on the flights to fetch it wouldn't trust a website with that much of my money.

Some of them are truly lovely, and so many use semi precious or rare coloured stones.

My 'nearly engagement' ring is vintage Van Cleef and Arpels, purple sapphires and diamonds, they do use some absolutely gorgeous stones.

THANKYOU to Romanwitch, Kvalidir, Murraymints, SharonA and Prudie for your replies, I'm very grateful, and yes SharonA they are very expensive, but beautiful as some of you have, I'm just annoyed with myself for not being careful with mine and losing it.

I had such a coincidence today. I'd not heard of this Panthere design until this post last night. Today I went in a colleague's office, a man I know that is 'into' designer watches. He had a watch magazine on his desk, a glossy one with all the top names advertising, Omega, Breitlinger, Tag-heuer etc etc. I turned a few pages and there was a double page spread about the return of the Cartier Panthere watch (an 80s classic I gather), all having straps in the brick design. Well I thought it was a coincidence.

I love coinkidinks like that Prudie.

I was listening to Django Reinhardt the other day when I went to the store and a nice guy with a pitbull helped me open the door as I had my hands full and called his dog who's name was Django ( because he found him chained up and then unchained him-Django Unchained) which was the film we'd watched the night before which made me listen to Django Reinhardt on the way to the store. Weird.

Yes I couldn't even begin to explain to him why I went OMG when I saw it! (ever tried to explain AB to normal people?)
