Edwardian Moonstone Diamond Platinum Ring Dome
$ 4,850.00
I love Saturday’s in France. We take a train out of Paris to the wonderful city of Reims, the capital of the Champagne region in France. At a quaint house almost in the country we visit with a dealer who we’ve been buying from long enough that she’s now a good friend. She and her daughter make us wonderful meals and serve us the best wine and bubbly and we spend the day with them, laughing and catching up and, of course, looking at fabulous jewels. This ring reminds me a bit of the yummy champagne we drink, the array of rose cut diamonds sparkling like the bubbles in my glass.
This Art Deco era French ring is set with 56 rose cut diamonds and one fabulous high dome of moonstone. This ring is beautifully hand crafted in platinum, with each stone set into a mill grain edged diamond that gives it the feel of leaves or feathers. The diamonds are two sizes, 44 of them are 2-3 mm across and 12 are about 1.5 mm across and they add up to a carat weight of about .4 carats. The fabulous blue moonstone is cabochon cut and measures 6.1x6.1x4.3 mm and weighs approximately 1.15 carats. There is beautiful engraving around the edges of the ring, which measures 17.6 mm north to south and 20.5 mm across and narrows to 2 mm at the back of the band, it sits 9 mm off the finger. This ring is a size 7 US and could be resized to suit, it shows some signs of having been sized up in the past. It is marked on the outside of the band with what appears to be a French hallmark of some sort, although it is too rubbed to identify, we have acid tested it to verify it’s platinum content. Weighs 5.6 grams. Made around 1915-1925.
This beautiful cocktail ring sparkles with every move of your lovely hand and pairs very well with a 2004 Clicquot Grande Dame and a little black dress!

Georgian Amethyst Rose Cut Diamond Ring
$ 1,850.00
A ring like this one was likely the first jewel that would be worn when a Goeorgian lady was moving out of the first year of mourning, purple was the first color that could be introduced after wearing all black for a year, and along with white and gray, could be added in little splashes, like this fabulous ring.
This hand crafted ring was made in England in about 1830, it is set with one step cut rich purple amethyst which has been out and weighed at 2.36 carats, it measures 91.x7.6x4.9 mm, on each side of the center stone are two rose cut diamonds with fabulous sparkle, 2 are 3 mm and 2 are 3.5 mm each. The ring measures 9.9 mm north to south at the front and sits 4.9 mm off the finger, it is a size 7. This ring is unmarked but tests as 15 karat gold and the diamonds are set in silver, it weighs 2.6 grams.
This Georgian Dame got a little new life breathed into her old bones of late, she was in rough shape when we found her, so we opened up the back and removed the discolored foil, we left the bezel open, this way it can be worn and enjoyed and cleaned! We think we dusted her up pretty good!

Unusual Art Nouveau Victorian Garland Era Silver Bangle Bracelet
$ 880.00
The Aesthetic Movement, which was the driving force behind much of the Victorian silver jewelry that was made in England, began in the 1860s and starting winding down in the last few years of the 1890s. New styles were coming in, Edwardian and Belle Epoque jewelry eschewed chunky Victorian styles moved to a lighter, more ephemeral feel, and the dynamic duo of Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau came sweeping through with something utterly new.
It is exceedingly rare (like this is the first time in 20 years) for me to see a bangle like this one, which shows the clear intersection of the Victorian and Art Nouveau styles. It wasn’t all clean, the changing of style, it was messy at the edges and styles overlapped, sometimes to wonderful effect. This fabulous late Victorian bangle dates to about 1895, it shows the beginnings of the Art Nouveau style, with a nod to the motifs that would sweep though that style and it also has garlands of colored flowers, a very Edwardian motif. The flowers seem to be done with gold and platinum in the overlay, this kind of blue tone to the central flowers is indicative of platinum which was being used in this way a the time, pink gold roses and green gold leafs add to the very three dimensional floral sprays.
This hand crafted bangle is 25 mm wide and would comfortably fit a wrist of up to 6.5 inches. It weighs 27.1 grams, it is unmarked but tests as sterling silver.

Antique Moonstone Demantoid Garnet Ring Silver Arts and Crafts Era
$ 550.00
One year I grew brussels sprouts in my garden. When I planted the little seedlings at the end of one of my raised beds, I have to admit that I had no idea how big these plants would get, as it turns out these plants get huge! I remember how few sprouts we got that were actually edible, but how beautiful the giant blue green leaves of the plant were. They always seemed to have a special glow by moonlight when I would take a midnight stroll down my garden paths. This ring reminds me of that summertime garden glow, the deep green of the garnets, the bright glow of the stone, the scatter of flowers, shining silver in the moonlight.
This wonderful Arts and Crafts era ring was hand crafted around 1900. The silver ring is set with a most beautiful blue glowing moonstone of some 3.07 carats and is accented with 12 green demantoid garnets, each 2x2 mm in size. The face of this ring measures 22 mm north to south and 18 mm across, it is a size 6.25 and weighs 6.1 grams. This ring is unmarked and tests as silver.

Victorian Aesthetic Movement Silver Bangle Bracelet Green Pink Gold Accents
$ 890.00
Art for Arts Sake. This was the driving idea of the Aesthetic Movement in Britain which led artist to create some of the most beautiful artwork of the western world in the years between 1860 and 1900. The idea was that things did not need have a deeper meaning to be made in a way that was pleasing to the senses, that it was okay for an object which was useful to also be beautiful, simply for the sake of beauty. It is an idea which we still hold to this day. The simple lines and motifs of Japanese art were particularly appealing to the Aesthetic artists and these motifs feature prominently in many of the designs of this era, this bangle among them.
Simple branches of cherry blossoms grace the front of this wide silver cuff bangle. The leaves are done in a greenish gold overlay and the blooms in pink gold, it also has a wonderful egg and dart like scalloped edge. This bangle is inscribed to the reverse with “To Mary, 17th Jan(uar)y. 1883.” and the inscription is bordered in a similar manner to the front engraving, making me think that this piece was likely made custom by the jeweler and inscribed by him as well, so probably it was made just before this date in 1882-3. This wonderful bangle measures 25 mm wide from top to bottom and would fit a wrist of 6.5 inches or less; it weighs 37.5 grams. Made in England of Sterling Silver.

Lost in history, bound in myth. That’s what I always think when come across very old things like this fantastic ring of three carved intaglio seals.

The largest of the three fobs is in 15 karat gold and shows a the initial I or J in a belted garter, a sword through the garter has a fist at the end holding a spear which drips with blood! The two smaller seals are in 9 karat gold and the orange carnelian one shows a Lyre with the phrase “All’s Well” while the other has the scripted words ‘Ricordate Di Me’ or ‘Remember Me’, done in chalcedony.

Victorian Carnelian Intaglio Ring Lion Rampant

This ring has swagger. Yeah, you heard me, swagger. What’s that, you ask? Well, confidence, perhaps even a bit arrogance; it’s mostly in the hips.
This large and lovely ring is set with a deeply carved intaglio of a lion rampant in a crown done in rich, orange carnelian. I believe that this intaglio predates this wonderful ring by quite a lot, probably the stone dates to about 1870, it’s difficult to say when it was set into this ring, I purchased it this way and it shows definite signs of wear, so it’s been here awhile.

Art Deco Old European Cut Diamond Engagement Ring in Platinum
$ 5,980.00
"Will you?" he said, holding out the little box.
"Yes," she replied, holding out her hand. He slipped it onto her finger.
Perfect.
Old cut diamonds can be dangerous. The more of them you see, the more of them you desire to own. Whereas modern brilliant cut diamonds can be nice and sparkly, old European cuts like this one are more like individual works of art. Hand cut by master craftsmen who spent decades honing their skills; these cutters used no computers, no lasers, they used their eyes, their experience and their hands, often cutting with tools they had made themselves. The result is a diamond with a uniqueness of character that simply cannot be found in todays modern cut stones.

Angry Bobby English Policeman Charm Silver Pendant
$ 220.00
Before 1829 there was no police force in London, or really anywhere for that matter. When the then British home minister, Sir Robert Peel, organized the London Metropolitan Police (headquartered on a street named… you guessed it, Scotland Yard) he dressed them in black coats and tall black wool hats with shiny badges. These hats became iconic and the London police force was so closely associated with Robert Peel that those who wore these hats got the nickname of ‘Bobbies’.
I found this particular little Bobby to be utterly irresistible. He looks a bit grumpy, really, under his iconic hat, but this just makes him all the more appealing. The wonderful Victorian charm is done in silver, it’s a small thing, just 21.2 mm from top to bottom including the bale and 16.1 mm across at the widest point. This pendant is unmarked but has been carefully acid tested. It weighs 1.6 grams. Made in England around 1880.

Edwardian Natural Fancy Diamond Cluster Ring Dark Orange Brown Colored
$ 7,500.00
“Ashford Castle, this is Ella, how may I assist you today” said the female voice in a pleasant, but not obvious, Irish brogue.
“Hello Ella,” you replied, “I’d like to book the 83rd Room.”
She heard, rather than saw, Ella’s eyes widen a bit. “Yes, Mam,” she replied, “I’ll put you through to the Hotel Manager.”
She’d been dreaming of this day ever since she’d discovered the 83rd Room existed. Ashford Castle, an estate going back 800 years, contained 82 gorgeous hotel rooms, but the 83rd room wasn’t in the castle. Rather, it consisted of an old Stone boat house which had been lavishly reappointed as an indulgent hideaway. It came with bicycles to explore the hotels 350 acre estate, with Jack Murphy Jackets and Wellies to take home, with a fully stocked bar and a 24/7 butler, but the reason she really wanted it was that it came with a boat. She wanted to row out into the lake in the deep of night and see the stars reflected in its ancient water; sparkling like diamonds under a moonless sky.
This ring is a bit like those stars, sparkly, rich and deeply mysterious. It is set with an Octagon of bright white old European cut diamonds which weight about 1 carat in total and are F/G color and VS1 clarity, but it’s the center stone on this one that will really take your breath away. At the heart of this ring is an Old European cut Natural Fancy Dark Orange Brown diamond. According to the accompanying GIA report, this stone weighs approximately .63 carats and is not treated in any way, it is a VS1 in clarity. The ring is a hand crafted beauty that dates to the Edwardian era. It is made of 14 karat yellow gold and platinum and is unmarked but has been carefully acid tested. The face of this ring measures 14.3 mm north to south and across, it sits 5.4 mm off of the finger and narrows to 1.5 mm wide at the back of the band. This size 8.5 ring weighs 5.3 grams. Comes with a full appraisal and GIA certificate, the replacement value is $8,650.
A note from Victoria: I’ve worn this ring for awhile, but I’m ready to part with it so I’m listing it for sale. I can tell you from having worn it that it is a stunning beauty, the center stone can go from a light peach color to a rich dark brown depending on the light and it gets flashes of color from deep red to light pink. I think I might miss it, but I’ve recently acquired one that I like just a bit better and I’m not really wearing this one the way it deserves to be worn. It would make an utterly stunning engagement ring, but it doesn’t really need an excuse. It get’s a lot of lovely compliments!

Victorian 5 Stone Diamond Ring 18k Gold
$ 660.00
It's all in the odd numbers, I guess. Those Victorians just loved their 3, 5 and 7 stone rings. Here is a wonderful example of a five stone ring, which was often referred to as a 'half hoop' ring or sometimes a "boat" ring because of the tapering shape. Crafted from warm 18 karat gold with beautifully hand engraved shoulders, done all in diamonds full of sparkle and fire, it is a glowing example of this type of ring!
Hand crafted in about 1890-1900, this ring was originally fully hallmarked, but while still partially visible, the remaining marks are too worn to read and some have been sized out altogether at some point. It does have a more modern 18 karat gold mark, likely from when the ring was re-sized, but it has been professionally acid tested for metal purity. The stones are all original and beautifully matched. I would confidently estimate the weight of the stones at about .25 carats in total. The ring measures 16.6 mm east to west and 6 mm north to south, sits 3.4 mm off the finger and weighs 3.3 grams. Currently it is a size 6.25 US, but it could be easily be re-sized up or down a bit.
This wonderful and sparkly Victorian diamond 5 stone ring would play nicely in a stack, and would certainly make a lovely wedding ring or anniversary band. When I have it on my finger, I find it simply impossible to take my eyes off of it!
I offer layaway on most items purchased for full retail price. In general my layaway terms are 1/3 down and 1/3 in 30 days and the last 1/3 in 60 days.

Vintage Norman Grant Enamel Necklace Silver Custom
$ 1,450.00
The internet is a wonderful thing. Even though my niece and nephew laugh at me when I tell them that I’m older than Google, it’s true. Very true. I remember a time when we weren’t so connected, when looking something up meant that you went and found the right letter volume of the Encyclopedia Brittanica. Now days googling is a verb and we can connect to anyone, anywhere, anytime.
This was brought home to me in my early days of online sales when I posted a photo on a very early Facebook page of a piece of jewelry by one of my favorite artists, Norman Grant. It hadn’t been up for long when I got a message, it was from Norman’s son. He was sitting in a pub with his dad and the post came up and he showed it to Norman who was delighted to see it. It was such a lovely connection. Mr. Grant died a few years ago and I was so sad to hear it, but his wonderful jewelry lives on.
Even though some of Norman Grant’s jewelry was a bit mass produced this particular necklace appears to be a one-off and it shows in the quality, it’s a nice weighty piece with great attention to details. the colors are lovely, all pinks and purples and it has a bit of an asian twist to the design. It’s hallmarked for Edinburgh and was made in 1972, it has the NG for Norman Grant.
This lovely necklace was hand crafted in sterling silver and enamel. The chain is 23 inches long and the drop measures 63 mm from top to bottom and 36.8 mm across at the widest point. This necklace weighs 14 grams. The metal screw style clasp is original to many of Grant’s pieces, although these days it has often been replaced with a silver ring clap, it’s nice to have the original clasp.
A lovely and contemporary feeling vintage necklace by the truly lovely Norman Grant.

Russian Niello Tudor Rose Ring Silver Band

Art Deco Enamel Silver Locket Pendant Lavendar White
$ 630.00
Enameling, in some form or another, has been around since the 13th century BC. It took a long time to perfect it, though, some form of metal had to be used with early enamel, to hold each color distinctly apart from its neighbor (interesting note, these little metal bars were called cloisons, hence one name for this type of enameling is cloisonné). In the 15th century the technique of painted enamel was perfected and suddenly the cloisons were gone and wonderful, rich details could be gleaned from this once mosaic-like art form.
This Art Deco locket was hand crafted around 1920. It’s done all in silver and then machine turned to produce an overall engraved pattern, then the locket was fired with a rich opaque white enamel and a fluid lavender enamel which is translucent, giving it a look of constant movement. The shape, the concentric circles, the depth of the enamel covered engraving, all combine to make this a very dynamic piece. The face of this locket measures 37.3 mm from the top of the bale and 28 mm across, it’s 5.4 mm thick. This one opens easily and closes with a nice little snap; it weighs 8.1 grams.

15k Gold Victorian Engraved Oval Locket Pendant
$ 920.00
Lockets began to appear in Europe sometime during the 16th century. They were worn to keep safe religious relics, good luck charms, perfumed sponges, or even tiny love letters. Ladies of the court liked to fill theirs with scented oils, and had them made specially into vinaigrettes, as the ballroom heat could cause quite a bit of fainting. By the height of the Victorian age wearing a locket was considered essential for day wear, especially after Prince Albert gifted his beloved Queen Victoria a bracelet of nine heart lockets, one for each of their children. Once they had reached the height of courtly fashion, the popularity of lockets spread to the middle class where they were given as gifts within a gift, with a painted portrait of a lover’s eye, a small note, or a private token, tucked clandestinely inside.
Exquisitely engraved on both sides, this Victorian beauty was handcrafted around 1880. Made entirely in 15 karat gold and featuring unique floral and geometric pattern on both sides, this elegant oval beauty measures 50.6 x 29.6 x 9.4 mm and weighs 10 grams. While there are no hallmarks, it has been professionally acid tested for metal content. Holding two frames inside, this timeless treasure is ready to hold whatever keepsakes you want close to your heart!

Art Deco Opal Diamond Cluster Ring 18k Gold Platinum
$ 880.00
'All of Nature’s splendor seems to be reflected in the manifold opulence of fine Opals: fire and lightnings, all the colors of the rainbow and the soft shine of far seas. Its origins go back to a time long before our memory, to the ancient dream time of the Australian aborigines. It is reported in their legends that the creator came down to Earth on a rainbow, in order to bring the message of peace to all the humans. And at the very spot, where his foot touched the ground, the stones became alive and started sparkling in all the colors of the rainbow. That was the birth of the Opals.' - ICGA website
Opals always seem to me to be lit from within with their own internal flames. Flashes of red and yellow, orange, blue and green make this gorgeous opal and diamond ring a feast for the eyes!
This perfect opal and diamond cluster ring was hand crafted in 18 karat and platinum around 1930, in the heart of the Art Deco era. The star of the show is an oval, cabochon cut opal which reveals new colors and light from every angle. Bezel set in gold to accentuate it's beauty, this stunning gem measures 5.1 x 4.3 x 2.2 mm and weighs approximately .3 carats. It is surrounded by a halo of 8 old cut diamonds, weighing roughly .4 carats, which twinkle with your every move. Additionally, each shoulder is accented with a single rose cut diamond accented by platinum bright work. The ring weighs 2.2 grams, and was likely originally marked with an "18ct&Plat" mark but the 18ct part has been sized out at some point. It has however, been professionally acid tested to verify it's gold content, and tests as 18k. The top of the ring measures 9.6 mm north to south, 8.8 mm across, it sits 5 mm off the finger, and the band narrows to 1.9 mm at the back. This ring is a US size 5.

$ 3,500.00
The allure and mystery of the Far East were a popular aesthetic during the Victorian Era and widely used in jewelry, especially in engravings. They became equally, if not more, popular during the Art Deco era and while the Aesthetic was different, the fascination was the same.
The remarkable Jade and diamond ring dates back to the roaring 20s, with its clean lines and subtle flash. Six split prongs hold a bright green cabochon of jade which measures 16.2x11.2x3.9 mm and weighs approximately 5.73 carats. The ring is 18 karat white gold and the shoulders are set with 6 early single cut diamonds.
This ring measures 17.3 mm north to south and 12 mm across at the face, it sits 4.5 mm of the hand and narrows to 1.4 mm at the back of the band.

Gorgeous Enamel Miniature Baby Portrait Pendant Locket 15k Gold Pearls
$ 1,800.00
Sometimes a jewel is just the sum of its parts, take a diamond and set it in some platinum, boom! You’re done. Other times a jewel is much more along the lines of art, much more than that sum of its parts, much more than oil paints and canvas. It certainly keeps my job interesting, finding that happy balance between the two.
This stunningly crafted pendant definitely falls on the side of art. The jewel itself is beautifully hand crafted in 15 karat gold with a bloomed finish and is enamel with a bright, cobalt blue enamel over a patterned gold to give it a three dimensional feel. It is set with four creamy white pearls that all appear to be original to the piece. The star, though, of course, is this fantastically executed miniature enamel painting of a cherubic baby in a white, probably Christening, gown.
I don’t think that this wonderful piece is a memorial piece, although the back does hold a locket set with a plait of finely woven hair behind a crystal. I think it’s rather a mother’s piece, a celebration of a beautiful baby.
The pendant measures 44.5 mm from top to bottom and 28 mm across, it’s marked on the back with ’15ct’ for the gold content and ‘H&Co’ for the maker, possibly Hamilton and Company. This fabulous English piece dates to about 1880-1890, it weighs 7.5 grams and is in wonderful condition with no notable nicks to the enamel.

Victorian Banded Agate High Domed Crystal Locket 18k Gold
Sold Out - $ 2,850.00
On their first date, they rode out into the country for a picnic. It was a somewhat formal affair, there were friends and chaperones. The picnic had been laid out when they arrived, and there were cheese and cured meats and crusty bread along with fruit and pickles and sweets, little meat pies and small iced cakes shaded from the sun. There was champagne and they drank and laughed and she found him a four leaf clover amongst the grasses. She opened the small notebook he’d brought along and placed the leaf between the pages. ‘For luck’, she told him.
On their third date he took her to a restaurant, it was just the two of them this time. When the waiter arrived with champagne, he placed a small tooled leather box next to her glass. She opened the boxed and drew in her breath. Inside was the most exquisite rock crystal locket, its edge was set in gold and studded with banded agates and under the thick crystal dome was the four leaf clover, magnified larger than life. She took the pendant from the box and he stood and came around the table to put it on her. When he clasped in the back he leaned close to her ear and whispered, ‘you’re my luck’.
