The Legacy Collection - Rare vintage jewels, handpicked to be treasured for generations.
 
Design & Craftsmanship
This exquisite vintage ring by Cabouchon captures timeless romance with a contemporary twist. The band features a distinctive gold-plated articulated link design reminiscent of fine watch straps, allowing for both comfort and flexibility. At its centre lies a sculpted heart motif, lavishly adorned with brilliant-cut clear crystals set in cool-toned rhodium plating for contrast. The heart’s pave arrangement creates a scintillating play of light, adding sparkle to every movement.
 
The ring is 18ct gold plated over a quality base metal, ensuring both durability and a rich, warm lustre. Measuring 2 cm in diameter, however it can also comfortably fit smaller ring sizes when stacked, making it both versatile and wearable.
 
Provenance
Sourced from a specialist jewellery auction in London, this piece carries with it the thrill of discovery and the charm of a curated treasure hunt. Its auction provenance enhances its appeal for collectors, as such finds are often one-of-a-kind opportunities.
 
Styling Tips
Daytime Chic: Wear it alone with a crisp white shirt and rolled sleeves for understated sparkle.
Stacking Play: Pair it with slimmer gold bands or even mixed-metal rings to accentuate the articulated link design.
Evening Glam: Let it be the centrepiece alongside a little black dress and a sleek gold chain bracelet.
Romantic Layering: Combine with a dainty gold heart pendant for a cohesive love-themed look.

About the Brand – Cabouchon
Founded in London in the late 1980s, Cabouchon quickly gained a reputation for bold, fashion-forward costume jewellery with a luxury finish. Known for combining European glamour with impeccable attention to detail, the brand was popular among discerning collectors and featured in high-end boutiques and department stores. Many of Cabouchon’s designs were produced in limited runs, enhancing their desirability in today’s vintage jewellery market.
Collectors value Cabouchon pieces for their quality plating, distinctive design language, and enduring style appeal. The brand’s work often draws inspiration from fine jewellery silhouettes, making their creations ideal for those seeking high-impact accessories without compromising on craftsmanship.
 
Collectible Value
With Cabouchon no longer in mainstream production, original pieces in excellent condition have become highly collectible. This heart ring is especially appealing for collectors due to:
Its romantic motif, which never goes out of style.
The signature link band construction, less common in their range.
Auction provenance, adding exclusivity.
Its excellent preserved condition with full plating and original crystal brilliance intact.
In the current market, well-kept Cabouchon statement rings can range from £85–£150, with motif-based designs in excellent condition commanding the higher end of that range, particularly when presented in a vintage jeweller’s box as shown.
