Victorian Buckle Ring Inscribed 1891 18k Gold Wedding Band
$ 1,750.00
The belt, the buckle, the garter; call it what you will, this simple but highly effective invention dates back millennia. It’s a marriage of form and function that is now so ubiquitous it practically goes without notice, but in Victorian times it had a strong symbolism associated with it which caused it to be used in other aspects of life and art, including jewelry. The buckle was seen as similar to the serpent, a symbol of eternity, of strength and protection and was used fairly often in the symbols of mourning jewelry.
This wonderfully chunky gold buckle ring has a fabulous inscription and a full set of English hallmarks which tell us that it was made in Birmingham in 1893 of 18 karat gold. The ring is 10.8 mm wide at the widest point and 3.7 mm thick, it narrows very slightly to 7.3 mm at the back of the band. This ring is a size 7.25 and weighs 7.3 grams. The ring is inscribed in script with “Remembrance 1891 and 1892”.
This sweet and sentimental ring would make and excellent wedding band, the perfect recycled heirloom!

Antique Arts & Crafts Era Peridot Pearl Gold Pendant Necklace
$ 990.00
There is a wonderful woman who stalls out on the street in front of one of the galleries on Portobello Road in London. Her mom helps her to run the stall, they are kind, sweet women with regular day jobs, but they love to buy and sell a few old goodies.

Hand crafted in England in about 1910 with a distinctive Arts & Crafts design, but with a definite nod it's Edwardian predecessors, this graceful, light and airy 9 karat yellow gold pendant features a central rectangular cut peridot in a bezel mount which allows a lot of light into the stone for extra sparkle.

The pendant measures 43mm x 23.5mm x 2.5mm. The pendant weighs 3.2 grams, is marked 'IX' for 9k (tested) and also bears the maker's mark 'D & F'.

Spectacular Victorian 3 Stone Diamond Ring 18k Gold 2cttw
$ 9,500.00
Sunday mornings in London always have a low key vibe. The streets are quiet until noon and people are out and about in trainers and jumpers (that’s British for sneakers and sweaters) in places you usually see suits and ties. It’s one of my favorite days. The Sunday market doesn’t even start until 10 and so I get to sleep in and still have time to pop around the corner for croissants and coffee. The Sunday market, the Horti, as they call it, is held in a Georgian era building with a glass domed roof, this Sunday it’s bright and sunny and the vendors laid out in row upon row hold untold treasure to be found. This ring was my first treasure that day, it beamed up out of the case, caught on an English sunbeam.
This fantastic ring was hand crafted in England around 1880, it is set with three old European Cushion cut diamonds which are a symphony of light and color. The center stone measures 5.1x5.1x3.5 mm and weighs about .7 carats, the other two stones are similar in size, 5x5x3.15 mm and weigh about .6 carats each, there are also 6 rose cut diamonds set between the three main stones. The total weight in diamonds of the ring is just under 2 carats of diamonds. The face of this ring measures 6.4 mm north to south and 17.3 mm across, it sits 4.5 mm off the finger and narrows to 2.2 mm at the back of the band. This unmarked ring tests as 18 karat gold and is a size 6.5, it weighs 4.8 grams.

Georgian Intaglio Seal Fob Pendant 18k Gold Bloodstone
$ 1,190.00
Lost in history, bound in myth. That’s what I always think when come across very old things like this fantastic carved bloodstone intaglio seal. It makes me a little bit melancholy to think of what stories they could tell, stories that I will never know. Then again, you might have noticed that I’m never adverse to making up their stories for myself.
This stately Georgian 18k gold fob was handcrafted in England around 1810. It’s intaglio, carved in the finest deep green and red flecked bloodstone, is an armorial seal that bears a coat of arms showing a shield adorned with three shells and topped by a helm and wing motif, all surrounded by sinuous vines and leaves. This fabulous fob measures 23.8 x 17.5 x 20.5 mm with the oval bloodstone measuring 19mm x 15.8mm. It is unmarked but has been professionally acid tested as 18k gold, and it weighs 17.1 grams.
This handsome, centuries old bauble is rich with stories of old and those yet to be told, and would work wonderfully on a simple chain around the neck. It could also function charmingly as a watch fob still, should you be so inclined.

They arrived at the party by boat, they saw it at first like small fairy lights glimmering in the distance, but as they got close the sounds of music and laughter twirled out at them across the water in bits, getting louder and clearer as the lights grew into lavish lawns littered with sparkling party goers. As the boat cut its engines and they drifted towards the dock, he grinned and reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a gem that sparkled brighter than all the party lights around them.

Antique Diamond Gypsy Ring 18k Gold Engagement Wedding Band
$ 1,980.00
I guess I’m probably showing my age when I say that this ring reminds me of those old advertisements for Secret deodorant, it was always a man trying to use his ladies deodorant and she had to school him and tell him that even though it’s strong enough for a man, it’s made for a woman. Ahhh… the 80s. This ring is actually the opposite, it was surely made for a man, but it’s strong enough for a woman, that’s for sure.
A bright and sparkly old European cut diamond is the star of this classic ring. It’s a clean, white stone which measures 4.8x4.5x2.6 mm and weighs about .45 carats, it’s a stone with a lot of fire and flash. The ring is a velvety soft and weighty band of rich, buttery 18 karat yellow gold which is a size 9.25 and weighs 6.9 grams. The ring is fully hallmarked as having been made in Chester, England in 1885, it is also marked as 18 karat gold and with the makers mark of ‘AS’. The ring measures 6.2 mm from north to south and sits 2.8 mm off the finger, it narrows to 3.6 mm at the back of the band.
This ring has the lines and classic appeal of a perfectly fitted suit, and it’s equally perfect for a woman or a man.

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.

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.

Late Victorian Gemstone Diamond Bracelet 18k Gold Tourmaline Aquamarine
$ 8,950.00
I used to think that diamonds and fancy gems were a weekends-only, little black dress sort of affair, but lately I’ve taken much more of a “smoke ‘em if you got ‘em” approach to my jewels.

This bracelet has become a particular favorite for our Tuesday night parties for two, there’s something about the colors and the sparkle that gives our deck party the feel of an elegant soiree, and playing hostess for only two means a lot less clean up!

Each gem is surrounded by a halo of Old Mine Cut diamonds, 58 in all.

Art Deco Retro Diamond Dome Ring Cocktail Ring Platinum
$ 5,980.00
There was an exuberance after the end of WWII, the economy expanded rapidly as the war effort turned domestic, instead of bombs, Americans made refrigerators and dishwashers, things that felt futuristic and new. Fascism was defeated and the future looked bright and rosy.

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.

$ 2,580.00
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. It makes me a little bit melancholy to think of what stories they could tell that I will never know! Then again, you might have noticed that I’m never adverse to making up their stories for myself!
This fantastic pendant contains a 9 karat gold split ring which holds three fobs. 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. These three fobs have likely lived together on this ring for many decades, they were made around 1830 in the Georgian era and the largest measures 40 mm high, 30 mm wide and 18.5 mm across; the pendant weighs 21.1 grams altogether.

Victorian Carnelian Intaglio Ring Lion Rampant
$ 1,750.00
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. This large ring measures 23.8 mm from north to south at the face and is 20.5 mm across, it sits 4.1 mm off the finger and narrows to 2.3 mm at the back of the band. This size 7.5 ring weighs 7.2 grams. This unmarked ring tests as 15 karat gold.

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. This European ring was made in about 1930 and showcases the simplicity of the Edwardian style anchored firmly by an Old European cushion cut diamond with large cut facets that cause it to flash with slow and stunning sparks of colorful fire.
Hand crafted of platinum, this fantastic Engagement ring holds a chunky diamond which measures 6.3x6.3x5.2 mm and weighs about .880 carats, it is a very lively stone, about an F/G color Si1 diamond. The face of the ring measures 6.6 mm north to south and it sits 5.2 mm off the finger. The center stone is accented by 3 small diamonds on either side. This ring is marked ‘Plat’ for platinum and has a makers mark of ’SB&Sn’, the ring is inscribed with ’T.B.H-M.M.G 16-2-36’. This size 8 ring weighs 3.7 grams.
This instant heirloom of a ring is just waiting to be part of a story that will last a lifetime, and then some.

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!

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.

It begins at the top as a beautifully engraved 15 karat gold band with a traditional buckle motif that in turn is accented with delicately hand engraved braided hair motif.

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.

Georgian Engraved Silver Gilt Wedding Band Ring
$ 880.00
Only the Georgian era could accomplish such a feat, and with such modesty, too. One of a pair that I found on a recent foray to London, it’s the type of Instagram-worthy band that steals second glances and causes temporary speechlessness. It’s almost as if it was deliberate, a two-hundred-year old plan plotted with meticulous detail and raging success. Go ahead, show it off, I insist.
This fabulous Georgian silver gilt band was handcrafted around 1790-1800. A simple band with beautiful patterned engraving that encircles the entire ring, it is also adorned with four hand carved flowers that look to my eye a bit like a thistle in bloom from above! This impressive antique band is a size 9.5 and weighs 7.6 grams. The ring face measures 9 mm wide all the way around and sits 1.9 mm off the finger. It has been professionally acid tested for metal content, and it bears the date mark, “13” and another unidentifiable mark on the outside of the band, and was likely made on the continent.

Edwardian Diamond Stacking Ring 18k Gold
$ 640.00
If there was an iconic English ring that was made during the last years of the Victorian and early years of the Edwardian era, it was this one. Always set with three gems at the center, variations on this theme included all diamonds, emeralds and diamonds, rubies and diamonds and of course sapphires and diamonds. They make excellent stacking rings, mix and match your colors, or wear all the same. They make excellent wedding bands, for men and ladies, you really can’t go wrong in any way with a ring like this one, it’s just a classic!
This unique Edwardian example is set with three fiery, round faceted Old European cut diamonds which add up to approximately .125 carats in total, along with four sparkling, rose cut diamonds accents at the corners. With beautifully hand carved, tapering floral motif shoulders, this stunning stacker was once marked with a full set of English Hallmarks, which indicate that it was made in Birmingham, England. And, although the date mark has been worn or sized out, I would confidently date it to between 1900 and 1910. This ring measures 6.7 mm from north to south at the top, sits 1.7 mm off the finger and narrows to 2.4 mm at the back of the band. This ring can be sized up or down a bit and is currently a size 5.75 US ring and weighs 2.5 grams.

Victorian St. Andrews Cross Scottish Brooch Pin
$ 2,480.00
This fantastic Victorian Scottish Agate St. Andrew’s Cross Brooch was hand crafted during the 1880’s. Saint Andrew, also called Saint Andrew the Apostle, was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus and the brother of Saint Peter, and is the patron saint of Scotland (and Russia). Set within a circle of grey Montrose agates, the deep red agates of the cross contrast beautifully against greens and yellows of the shield shaped bumblebee agate at the center, each one hand set in a solid, hand wrought and chased frame of 9 karat gold. This spectacular antique Scottish brooch measures 50.6 x 40.9 x 7.2 millimeters and weighs 17.5 grams . This stunning brooch would look fantastic on any scarf, jacket or kilt or plaid!
(Please note, while this stunning brooch is in excellent overall condition, there is one very small split in the gold work, of which I have included a close up. This minor split can be expertly laser repaired by my jeweler at no charge if desired, but I have not done so before listing it because in my opinion it is minor enough that it does not affect the visual beauty or structural integrity of the brooch.)
