The deeper story

Visually Speaking

Retro-period jewelry is identifiable by its recurring motifs: bows, ribbons, floral sprays, scrolls, and the distinctive gas pipe link chain, design signatures shaped by wartime optimism and Hollywood's visual culture that give the period's pieces a theatricality and warmth difficult to confuse with any other era.

A Storied Heritage

The Sar-e-Sang mines in Afghanistan have been in continuous operation since at least 4000 BCE, meaning that a contemporary piece of fine lapis shares its geological source with the material in Tutankhamun's mask and Sumerian royal tombs.

Heritage & History

Ross-Simons opened as a fine jewelry retailer in 1952. The category was defined. The focus held. Trends shifted around it, tastes changed, customer generations turned over. The brand didn't follow any of it. Customers kept coming back because what they were looking for was still there.
