So, we took a trip to San Francisco, and I specially put aside a Saturday afternoon for going to Lang Antique & Estate Jewelry with a very good friend of mine who is looking for an engagement ring for her friend, and keeping an eye out for her own boyfriend. When we got there, we had to wait outside, because the interior was full and everyone was helping customers. Now, usually I wouldn’t appreciate waiting outside, but the outside display of Lang might be better than the inside.
I probably won’t say much, as the pictures kind of speak for themselves.
Blue sapphires.
Emeralds and diamonds.
Diamonds and gems
Rubies, diamonds and emeralds.
I was fascinated by the light pink sapphire three stone. The ruby cabochon ring right above it was enchanting as well; it glowed like it had a light inside.
Diamonds and a few rubies. I particularly liked the large emerald ring in front, but it kind of reminded me of Angelina Jolie’s engagement ring to Brad Pitt, and I’m not a big fan of her ring, but the more exaggerated taper on this one was far more appealing.
Multi-colored sapphires.
Rubies, diamonds, huge rose cut diamond ring.
Closer shot of the ruby cabochon, star sapphire and pale pink sapphire.
Rubies and diamonds.
We finally made it inside, but we wanted to wait for the diamond case, so I decided to entertain myself by taking pictures of some of the cases.
Smaller gemstone jewelry.
Rubies and pink sapphires.
Amazing brooches.
