What do you think of yellow gold jewelry?

I've recently started wearing a yellow gold army ring...it doesn't have the antique finish, it is just gold with the ruby. My Grandpa gave it to me when I was a junior in high school, and I wore it for a few years then put it up.

Insurance for Antique Military Jewelry

Antique military jewelry, in a similar way to all the classical types of jewelry, often holds a substantial value and requires to be insured for various cases of loss, robbery etc. The difference created by specific nature of any military jewelry item is its sentimental value that comes along with a price written on the check. It appears strange, but this kind of not physical value also adds on the insurance amount rate, since these jewels travel through the family generations and their emotional value and importance of memories appears to be much higher, than simple price on the check. Another specific feature of antique military jewelry that it is extremely difficult to replace it with the same model, if something would happen to your original piece. This fact even brings closer the necessity for insurance.

However, lots of people purchase an antique military jewelry to make an investment. Likewise to creations of art and real property assets, military jewelry that made a long time ago increases its value over the time. In these cases antique military jewels turn in to an attractive object for potential investors. Some people are quite lucky to own an original piece of antique military jewelry that inherited from the ancestor, who served in military, navy or some branch of government service.

For all the kinds of antique treasures it is strongly advised for possessor to insure them....

Military Jewelry as Classical Jewelry Trend - Antique Military Rings

Warriors of antique times, in the same manner as the present ones, aimed to demonstrate their pride and willingness on belonging either to military, navy or other branches of the service.

Soldiers of Greek and Roman armies, and Celtic warriors were commonly arrayed by patterned rings and pendants of different shapes. Many of those insignia signs were created to symbolize belief, emotional attachment, or the branch of service the person has been connected to.

The main materials and patterns used by antique jewelers have not significantly changed since. Filled or solid yellow gold, different types of silver and bronze with an aimlessly scattered ornament and rarely applied color served as the sign to indicate an original piece of antique military jewelry. The design lines have tended to follow classical plainness and symmetrical order. Recently, some more modern materials were added in to those classical ones used. Such materials, like plastic, jet, volcanic turned to serve as more appropriate materials for “war accessories” production. Mentioned materials were introduced at 19th century and successfully used for fashioning the military items since then.
