Classic Cluster Rings

This beautiful locket brings the joy of the holidays to mind! Holly was associated with Christmas for centuries before the Victorians used its image on Christmas cards, creating a trend that’s lasted for more than a century. I tend to go overboard with the holiday décor and decorate my table, mantle, and front door with this cheerful plant of red and green. Before it was associated to the holidays, holly was used for decoration inside and outside the home to protect against evil spirits and to encourage fertility.

This antique Edwardian heart locket was handcrafted in England around 1900. It was made in 9 karat gold and weighs 3.0 grams. This locket measures 30 x 19.4 mm. The front and back of this beautiful piece showcases an engraved holly motif. When opened, two antique photographs are revealed. Each picture is of a young man, possibly brothers. Each image is held in with a frame. This locket pendant has been acid tested.

Holly is a beautiful bush that brims and burnishes in the daylight and is the perfect motif for a locket.

Oh, the mighty lion, a symbol of power, courage, and prestige. It’s been used in England for centuries by royalty and nobility. Medieval warriors with great skill who were known for their bravery were nicknamed, “The Lion”, hence the name of Richard the Lionheart.  This symbol is found throughout England, on shields, in heraldry, with sports teams, and as door knockers. It’s a sign of valor and determination.

The sky was a deep violet with pops of starlight scattered within it, like sugar crystals spilling onto a picnic blanket. Slowly, as they sat there, on the edge of the pier overlooking the lake, the sky turned into pink, taking the glow of the stars with it. It changed to yellow, as the sun peaked over the horizon, and they made hot cocoa by the campfire. She wore a ring on her finger, with a gemstone, and with love. It was this time last year, right here, just like this, when he asked and she said yes.

I remember exactly where I was when I found this one. It was early, as most shopping days are, at the fairgrounds of the gigantic Newark Antiques fair north of London. I came prepared, with a mug of black coffee and a lemon slice from the Café nearby. It was spring, so a jacket was required, I donned my long black trench, feeling very Sherlock Holmes, on a mission. My mission ended abruptly as I was distracted by a stall laden with Victorian goodies, including this very necklace.

This antique Victorian necklace was handcrafted around 1890 in England. It features a double heart motif tied together with a bow, with two doves holding a flower. The romantic word, “MIZPAH” is featured front and center and the bible verse it’s based off of is engraved on the hearts. The front of the necklace measures 17 x 37 x 7 mm. This piece weighs 2.0 grams. It bears the gold purity mark, “9ct” and a maker’s mark that reads, “W.Bros”. Most likely this piece started life out as a brooch and chain and they were married to make this beautiful and very wearable necklace, both are period pieces.

You never know what you’re going to find when shopping in London, but, my oh my, do I have such good luck!

I figured that my obsession with Art Deco would have faded by now, it’s been years, but honestly I just keep feeding it with rings like this. The 1920’s has my soul. Just look at the chevron and fan motif on this ring! It’s geometric and sturdy, bold and detailed. During Art Deco, diamonds were placed over onyx for a sharp black and white contrast that fit the dynamic feel of the times. It’s a ring design that has swept me off my feet and stolen my heart.  

This beautiful vintage Art Deco ring was handcrafted around 1920. It’s an American piece, made in 10 karat white gold. It features a large flat-cut rectangular onyx with a diamond at the center. The onyx measures 14.4 x 10 x 2.4 mm and the old European cut diamond measures 1.8 mm in diameter. The details on this ring are astonishing as they never seem to end. The ring face itself features elegant geometrics of the times and the shoulders continue this design almost all the way around the band. The diamond’s setting was screwed into the onyx to ensure security. The ring face measures 17.6 x 15 x 5 mm off the finger and the band width is 1.7 mm at the back. This ring is a size 5.5 US band and it weighs 2.2 grams. It bears the gold purity mark, “10k”.

I love a monochromatic theme! This juxtaposition of black and white does it perfectly. It’s bewitching and awaiting your finger.

During the Edwardian era, feminine motifs with delicate yet understated designs were considered en vogue. Natural pearls, amethysts, peridots, aquamarines, and other semi-precious stones were worn by affluent women to complement the trend of donning white silk and lace. This jewelry movement differed from the larger and dark colored jewels of the later Victorian era, it was a fresh and welcome change that breathed life back into fashion. This pendant would have been incredibly stylish for its time, sitting on the décolletage and accentuating the lower necklines of the 1910’s.

This elegant Edwardian pendant was handcrafted in England around 1910. It’s an antique piece crafted in 9 karat gold with an oval-cut amethyst at the center of a diamond-shaped motif decorated with 17 pearls.

The Arts and Crafts movement in England began as a response to the Industrial Revolution and the mechanization of the decorative arts. It bloomed into one of the most enduring legacies of style to come out of the 19th and 20th centuries. Something about the return to hand crafting and the motifs of the natural world speaks to the very root of human nature.

This wonderful brooch was handcrafted in London around 1900-10, and was most likely done by Henry George Murphy. Anchored by a beautiful large opal gem, this brooch is framed in 15 karat gold with a scroll and foliate design. This rectangular brooch holds a large cabochon precious opal which measures 30 x 20 x 7 mm and weighs approximately 23 carats. Precious opals are known for their diffraction of light, called ‘play of color’, in which rainbow colors shine from inside the stone like a kaleidoscope of firelight. Overall, this piece measures 39.7 x 27.6 mm and it weighs 60.8 grams. It has been acid tested. This brooch comes in an antique box which reads, “Gieves 27 Old Bond Street London, W.I.”, most likely it’s not original to the brooch but it has kept it in good order over the years.

Henry George Murphy was part of the Central School of Arts and Crafts in London and later went on to become a silversmith of some renown, working mostly in the Art Deco style.

For all occasions and even non-occasions. This brooch is sheer perfection, it gives off color no matter where you are.

I discovered this bangle while wandering the Sunday morning market at Horticultural Hall on my last trip to London. It was so wonderful to find a bangle rocking one of my favorite motifs, the luckenbooth. This beautiful double heart motif gets its name from the locked booths that sold brooches with this iconic motif along the Royal Mile near St. Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh, Scotland. This crown and heart motif also birthed the claddagh ring design. They were usually given as a love token or a betrothal gift, the two hearts intertwining symbolized a lasting union, the crown was a symbol of loyalty.

This fabulous luckenbooth bangle was handcrafted around 1850. It is made in silver with a golden gilt finish and showcases the traditional luckenbooth motif. It measures 6.75 inches around and the bangle’s face is 28 mm north to south and 22.2 mm across, it is 7 mm deep. This wonderful piece is locket topped with a frame inside and fleur de lis on the shoulders. This bracelet contains a safety chain, so you’ll never have to worry. It weighs 34.6 grams and has been acid tested.

Wear as a symbol of love and fidelity, or simply because it’s steeped in history and culture.

Imagine it if you will. Feel your hands grip the bedpost as the strings on your corset are pulled tight. Feel the layers of silk sliding over you, the swish of multiple layers of skirts. Your hair is pinned up with a hundred pins, your outfit is almost complete. Almost, but first the jewels, the tray is brought to you and you must choose. Tonight is important, you think, tonight you will dance with your love by candlelight. Tonight, you think, is a night for sapphires, for rubies, the gems of cool passion, the kind that simmers and takes things slow. You choose this pendant, hanging from a black velvet cord tied high up on your lovely swan-like neck. You chose wisely.

This fabulous pendant is unmarked, but has the feel of an Austro-Hungarian piece to me. It is set with natural sapphires and creamy white pearls and while the red gems may be rubies, they may as soon be synthetic as the Austro-Hungarian makers freely used paste gems mixed with the real thing, with their small size and closed backed nature I wasn’t able to get a clean reading on them. The pendant is set in gilded silver and features a cabochon sapphire center with a stone which measures 11.2 mm x 8.7 mm x 8.2 mm deep and weighs approximately 8.68 carats. The pendant is further set with 18 sapphires and 5 rubies (?) and 55 pearls, 54 of which are small half-pearls and one is the 5.5 mm drop. I would date this wonderful piece to about 1870, it’s got a lovely bow over wreath motif and is fully articulated for great movement and maximum impact. This pendant measures 73 mm north to south and 28 mm across and weighs 14 grams.

I’ve always found stones with blue hues to be rather calming. Aquamarines are the color of the water on a sunny day, without a cloud in sight. The name is Latin for, “water of the sea”, as the most revered aquamarines were a natural bluish-green shade. They were first documented around 480 BC and symbolized eternal youth and happiness. I can tell you that this vintage stunner makes me indubitably happy! So, our ancestors were certainly onto something.

This beautiful aquamarine ring was handcrafted in 18 karat white gold. It was made in Birmingham, England in 1972, and is a clear sign of the Retro times. The aquamarine sits at the center of a four-prong high-mount setting, with geometric shoulders on a size 5.75-85 US band. The rectangular step-cut stone measures 9.8 x 7.8 x 5 mm and weighs approximately 2.62 carats. The ring face measures 11 x 8.5 x 9 mm off the finger, and the band width is 2.3 mm. This vintage ring has been fully hallmarked. It bears the crown mark for England, the gold purity mark, “18”, the origin mark for Birmingham, and the date letter, “X”. The maker’s mark reads, “S&Co”.

It looks to me like this is your next favorite cocktail ring. It’s not too big, and not too small, just the right size to make a beautiful statement.

You’ve been there, done that. It’s time to move on, to something a little more…compelling. Audacious. Dare I say it, irresistible? I have just the locket. It’s addictive. I wore it in Beziers in August to watch the bullfighting. In spring, I found it went well in Cove Bay, while picnicking on the sands. It’s big enough to hold a photo or a secret, but not big enough for a snack.

This stunning antique silver locket was handcrafted in Birmingham, England, in 1882, during the Victorian era. It’s an ornate piece decorated in foliate motifs on both the front and the back.

The maker’s mark reads, “I.W”.

Sensibility lies in the eye of the beholder. I’m sure that’s the phrase. In any case, it’s rather a rock-solid argument for wearing the things you love whenever your heart desires. Trust me, your heart will want this locket strung around your neck and hanging near it every day of the week.

It keeps pace with your every move, never shying away from light. It’s exquisite during the day and enticing at night. There’s something simple and not simple about this eye-catching cross pendant. It looks basic enough, but the craftsmanship, the maturity, the sturdy delicate nature of it all, it’s mysterious, really.

This antique Victorian chalcedony cross was handcrafted in silver around 1880. It showcases a collection of six soft green round cabochon chalcedonies that measures 7 mm in diameter and 5 mm in depth. This cross pendant measures 67.3 x 46.7 mm and it weighs 5.6 grams. It has been acid tested.

Morning rose from the earth and transformed the sky into shades of blue and pink. It was a quiet moment, before the storm of the day. She went through the motions of the morning, brewing coffee, choosing a lipstick, waiting for the paper. The doorbell rang, so she went to it. He stood there with roses in his hand, and a devious grin on his adorable face. In his other hand, he held a ring set with shining diamonds. The sparkling stones matched the glitter of the early day’s sun. She couldn’t take her eyes away.

This sparkling diamond ring was handcrafted in England around 1910 during the Edwardian era. There are fifteen diamonds across the ring face, ten are rose cuts and five are old European cut stones. Altogether, the old European diamonds weigh approximately 1.2 carats. The largest stone is at the center and it measures 5.1 x 5 x 3 mm and weighs approximately .5 carats all on its own. The ring face measures 6 mm north to south and 22 mm across, it sits 5.5 mm off the finger and the band narrows to 2.3 mm at the back. There are no marks and it has been acid tested at 18 karat gold.

I strolled the Rue de Bastille on a windy winter day, around New Years. I was surviving on chocolate croissants and espresso for every meal. I’m not complaining, quite the opposite, really. I wore this brooch to match the holiday spirit and the colors of the season. It glowed on the lapel of my pea coat as I made my way to a champagne tasting, where there were macarons and pâté, not mixed together of course. I sat down in the basement of a hole-in-the-hall wine cellar and met a writer from Brussels. He explained that garnets were named after pomegranate seeds. We toasted to the gemstone and ate way too many macarons.

This antique garnet pansy brooch was handcrafted during the Victorian era, around 1880 in England. It showcases 5 large and juicy cabochon cut, teardrop shaped garnets and 6 smaller round faceted stones. This piece was crafted in garnet gold, a special low karat gold made specifically to set garnets, it has been acid tested. This brooch pin weighs 6.6 grams and measures 29.6 x 20.2 x 7 mm.

Growing up, there was a beautiful painting that hung above my bed of an angel guiding two children across a broken bridge that lay over perilous waters. I found this pendant in Paris, depicting the same scene from the one in my childhood. I did some digging and found that the inspiration for these guardian angel paintings and motifs, that thrive in churches, nurseries, and hospitals today, stems from a bible verse. Psalms 91:11 reads, “For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.” From the year 1400 until 1900, these depictions were usually of an angel watching children as they neared the edges of cliffs. It wasn’t until 1900, when an unknown German artist decided to use a bridge in his artwork, and this trend took off.

This antique silver pendant was handcrafted in France around 1890. It features a repousse guardian angel motif on an octagonal setting. This pendant measures 82 x 64.4 mm and it weighs 28.8 grams. It bears the maker’s mark, “MR” and it has been acid tested. This very large pendant may actually be an ornament, but personally I have no issue wearing such a thing around my neck.

This heavenly pendant would be a divine First Communion or birthday gift. It’s a stylish token of faith with historic value.

Crafting paste dates back to Ancient Roman times when makers wanted to imitate emeralds and lapis lazuli. It was in the Georgian Era though, the era in which this brilliant pendant was made, that paste’s popularity soared. Georges Frederic Strass was the brainchild behind high-quality paste. It was such an intriguing and valuable product, it was worn at court in both England and France, and could easily be mistaken for the real thing, as it glittered brilliantly in candle light. The finest jewelry establishments carried paste, certifying it as fashionable and beautiful.

This Georgian-era silver paste pendant was handcrafted in England around 1780. It showcases a drop bow and flower basket motif smothered in round faceted pastes, each hand cut to resemble a cushion cut diamond. This pendant measures 63 x 34 mm and weighs 10.8 grams. It bears no marks and has been acid tested.

The likes of Marie Antoinette, Queen Elizabeth I, Madame du Barry, and King Charles III and IV were known for donning paste. The making of paste was artwork in its own right, and this pendant proves it.

This wonderful ring has great, cheeky style! The propeller shapes around each diamond were created when the jeweler used a graver tool to push the gold around the stone to form the prongs. It was a safer and more secure way to set gems, allowing men (and women) to go about their day without worrying that they might snag a prong and loose a diamond. It lets me do the same as I scour markets and antique stores seeking out treasures just for you.

This fabulous five-stone diamond ring was handcrafted in Chester, England, in 1882. It was made in 18 karat gold and showcases five old European cut diamonds set horizontally across the face. The sparkly round cut diamonds weigh approximately .10 carats altogether. The shoulders bear a few more details including a stylized heart design. The ring face measures 6.6 x 16 x 2.1 mm and the band width is 2.3 mm at the back. This beautiful ring is a size 7.25 US and it weighs 2.7 grams. This piece has been fully hallmarked. It bears the crown mark for England, the gold purity mark, “18”, the Chester origin mark, the date letter, “t”, and a maker’s mark, “P&S”.

This style was initially popular with men, and women soon followed suit. Not long after, these beautifully set rings were made for gentlemen and ladies. They were typically gifted as friendship bands from young girls to each other, or from husbands to their wives. This one would make a fabulous engagement ring or wedding band, especially for an active person.

It was a hidden treasure, a diamond in the rough, a needle in a haystack, if you will. It was the end of my trip and although I’d had a fabulous time, I was still looking for my own crown jewels. Instinct guided me into a tiny shop with dark fabric draping from the ceiling and tables of tchotchkes and shelves of curios. In London, one can learn a lot from a shopkeeper if you seem uninterested for long enough. There was a door in the back, she pointed it out to me. I feigned boredom as I opened it. And there she was, this beauty, this fortune.

If you were a Victorian lady of a little means, you would slowly build up a selection of sterling silver jewelry over time. You would need cuff bangles, one on each sleeve if you will. You would need earrings if you had pierced ears, not everyone did. You would certainly need an interesting collar and at least one locket or bauble to hang from it. A collar like this one would be extra nice, it’s a particularly luxurious version.

This beautiful Victorian sterling silver collar necklace was fully handcrafted in England in about 1880. It features two rows of reposed beads with an additional inner row of small shiny beads and an outer edge of engraved floral tabs. This collar is wide and heavy and most definitely at the top of its class. The necklace measures 17.5 inches long and 24.3 mm wide, it is unmarked but has been acid tested to verify the metal content; it weighs 38.1 grams. It has a large jump ring which can be worn at the back or at the front to hold a locket (we have those, too!).

In Victorian times, this fantastic collar would have been the envy of all your friends, as it still can be today.

I love these little devotional pieces as they’re dripping with history. The earliest depiction of Mary dates to the second century in the Roman Catacomb of Priscilla. There is a wall painting of a woman nursing an infant, widely believed to be the Madonna and Christ. It took a few more centuries before her image fell into popularity, around the 5th century, when she was given the title Theotokos (Mother of God). Her life was considered extraordinary. She was born free of original sin, she gave birth to Christ through immaculate conception, she was compassionate, she was a protector. There’s no doubt as to why Marian devotion still reigns today.  

This vintage gold pendant was handcrafted around 1920. It’s a round French piece, made in 18 karat gold, measuring 27.2 x 19 mm and weighing 2.0 grams. It features a motif of the Madonna in profile.

William Hair Haseler was a renowned silversmith during the turn of the (last) century. Born in Birmingham, England in 1821, he founded his company in 1870. It specialized in gold and silver work. At around the same time, the famous department store of Liberty and Company opened and quickly became a must-shop hub of world goods that promoted the Art Nouveau and Arts & Crafts styles. In 1898, Haseler and Liberty created a formal partnership and launched the Cymric line using freelance designers. They’re partnership was a natural fit as both companies held an affinity for the natural grace of leaves, flowers, and ornamental lines which graced the two concurrent movements. After Haseler’s death, the partnership continued until 1926.

This rare and fabulous Arts & Crafts silver enamel necklace was handcrafted around 1900 by William Hair Haseler, whose pieces were retailed by Liberty and Company. It features a drop pendant with a blue and green foliate motif that measures 32.5 x 27 mm. The chain measures 15 inches in length. This antique necklace weighs 7.2 grams. The pendant bears the “SILVER” hallmark and the maker’s mark which reads, “WHH”. The chain bears the silver fineness mark, “STERLING”.

As a lover of Arts and Crafts styles, from furniture and architecture to gems and art, I was totally surprised and delighted to find this necklace in a stall at antiques fair in the middle of a horse field in the North of England. I simply had to bring it home. For you.

Oh, those wonderful French Art Nouveau artists really knew how to make beautiful things. Take this stunning ring as a case in point. Set with two beautiful and super sparkly old European cut diamonds that play point-counterpoint with the light, this ring has fantastic swirling cat tails and leaves on either shoulder, the centers still have that wonderful bloomed finish that the French were so famous for and the outer edges have been worn velvety smooth by use and time. Yes, the French understood elegance and natural motifs and adorned themselves in bright diamonds and luxurious gold.

This lovely take on a ‘toi et moi’ (you and me) diamond and gold ring was handcrafted around 1900-1910, most likely in France, which is where I purchased it. It was made in 18 karat gold with swirling shoulders supporting two vertically set old European diamonds on a size 8.5 US band. Each of the diamonds are round cut, and their total combined weight is approximately .3 carats. The ring face measures 7.5 x 4 x 4 mm off the finger and the band width is 1.3 mm at the back. This ring weighs 3.5 grams and has been acid tested. This ring is marked '18' for 18 karat gold.

This stunning brooch was made by the firm of Murrle Bennett and Company, an Anglo-German firm started by Ernst Murrle and J.B. Bennett, which produced pieces for retail by the store 'Liberty and Co.', the famous (and my personal favorite) London Arts and Crafts dealers. It’s the type of jewelry I can’t get enough of. There’s something so elegant and timeless about the stylized foliate forms, the usage of semi-precious stones, and the abstract motifs clearly influenced by nature. I can see myself now, with this brooch at the center of a white button-up blouse, faded jeans and pair of booties, just in time for fall.

This lovely Murrle and Bennett Company gold brooch was handcrafted in England around 1910. It’s an Art Nouveau pin with a turquoise at the center with a natural pearl drop set in 15 karat gold. It measures 30 x 26 mm and weighs 4.9 grams. It bears the gold purity mark, “15CT” and the maker’s mark, “MBCO”.

The company was in existence from 1886-1914. After World War I, the company was renamed White Redgrove & White. Murrle Bennett and Company jewelry is now highly sought-after and widely collected.

Mizpah is a beautiful word, steeped in history and time, as it originates its meaning from the bible. It’s a word that wishes another good luck and safe return when they will be gone for a while, sailing on the seas, or traveling across lands. During the Victorian era, crossing the Atlantic took around 7 – 10 days. Ships would typically sail off from Liverpool or Queenstown and land in New York Harbor. During a time of world exploration, sea travel, and war, Mizpah became a symbol of romance, desire, and chivalry. To gift this ring to another meant they were indelible on your heart, and with this ring they could find comfort when away.

This 18-karat gold MIZPAH ring was handcrafted in Chester, England in 1883. It’s a size 6 US band and it weighs 4.6 grams. The ring face measures 9.1 x 16.5 x 1.8 mm off the finger and the band width is 5 mm at the back. It has been fully hallmarked. It bears the crown mark, the Chester origin mark, the date letter, “u”, the gold purity mark, “18”, and the maker’s mark, “CyBs”.

As you can see from my lane, the romantic in me adores these sweetheart rings! What a charming way to court the one you love – with a token of affection that goes back 135 years!

I remember the old cold days, when the snow would fall all winter long and the flakes were like magic as each one landed like glitter on the ground. I’d dress up in reds and greens to match the season. I’d wear this necklace. I’d time myself so that when he walked beneath the mistletoe I conveniently would, too. He never did catch on, thought it was complete coincidence. Those cold days were cozy, filled with sweaters and hot coffee. Thank goodness they’re right around the corner again.

This elegant antique necklace was handcrafted around 1900. It’s an enameled wreath decorated with six rose cuts diamonds and a drop pearl, set in 14 karat gold, with a 9-karat gold chain. The chain measures 21.25 inches in length. Overall, this piece weighs 6.9 grams. The pendant portion measures 26 x 27 mm. It bears no marks and has been acid tested. I’m not certain where this pendant was made, but I’m sure that the chain is English. I suspect that the drop was converted from a brooch, it’s beautifully done.

Rose cut diamonds with pearl and green leaves, these are a few of my favorite things.

Symbolism was powerful to the Victorians. With strict rules of society and culture they had to express themselves in non-verbal ways, like through art, music and literature. When it came to jewelry, symbolism and creativity were combined. This faith, hope, and charity brooch was a popular motif during the Victorian era. We have the cross, a traditional symbol indicative of faith, the heart, a symbol reaching back thousands of years, which is representative of charity and last but not least, there’s the anchor; long associated with sailors at sea, it indicates hope and steadfastness. A sailor hopes to land an anchor in a safe place after a long journey.

This silver gilt brooch was handcrafted in Birmingham, England in 1900. It’s a late Victorian brooch that features the traditional cross, heart, and anchor motif set on a crescent. It also spells out the words, “Faith Hope Charity”. This antique pin measures 41.5 x 21 mm and weighs 2.8 grams. It bears the assay mark for Birmingham, the lion mark for sterling, the date letter, “a” for 1900, and the maker’s mark, “P&T”.

A faith, hope, and charity accessory was typically gifted by sweethearts, from mothers to children, or between sisters.

They were ice skating in November as the weather had turned cold early that year. Snowflakes fell lightly around them, just enough to dust the sky and make the night a little brighter. She was spiraling and performing forward crossovers while all he could achieve was a figure eight. She skated across the pond and stopped at his side, grinning. He asked what the smile was for. That’s when she threw a snowball at him and promptly ran away to the other side of the frozen water. He made his way toward her, hand behind his back, and she laughed as he said he had something for her. She knew it would be his retaliation. That’s when he popped open a box with a ring inside, a ring with a ruby surrounded in diamonds and gold. That’s when she said yes.

This vintage ruby and diamond cluster ring was handcrafted in 18 karat gold. It was made in Sheffield, England in 1984. A beautiful, sparkling natural pink round ruby sits at the center of 12-diamond halo consisting of old and brilliant cut stones. Each diamond weighs approximately .02 carats each. The ruby weighs approximately 1.11 carats total and measures 6.0 x 4.7 x 4.9 mm. The ring face measures 11.2 x 13 x 6 mm off the finger and the band width is 1.6 mm at the back.

If there were a piece of jewelry that defined versatility, it would be the chain. I like to wrap mine around and around the wrist to create the look of a layered cuff. I do the same thing with the neck, blanketing silver until there are just the right number of layers. There’s always the option of wearing this 38.5-inch chain draped long and classically down the torso, with a pendant at the end, drawing the eye, demanding attention.

It made her feel like the sun was always set to twilight and the air was consistently warm. The garnets reminded her of that summer on the lake back when 30 seemed old. She would stay up and watch the sun set with her friends, laughing and sipping sweet tea late into the night. The sky would turn a deep wine red, just like the stones she wore on her wrist.

When the weather starts to turn cold and the leaves turn orange you can find me in a cabin tucked away in the northern woods. I’m wrapped in a white wool sweater while this necklace decorates my neck. I have a typewriter out with a cappuccino, or two, next to it. The fire crackles. The wind rattles the panes.

What was I supposed to do? It was a ring that stood the test of time, glorious in its subtleness and stunning with its details, seen by the keenest of observers.

Greyhounds are an ancient breed that is thought to have originated in Egypt around 9,000 years ago. They were bred for hunting large game, using their sight and not their scent. The name comes from the German, “greishund” which means, “old dog”. In 1014 AD, English Law stated that killing a greyhound was punishable by death. 

This adorable silver dog brooch was handcrafted in England around 1930. It’s a vintage pin weighing 4.4 grams and measuring 29 x 35 mm. It bears the silver fineness mark, “STERLING SILVER”.

Queen Victoria was well known for owning her own greyhounds, back in the day.

I admit it, I did a bit of hemming and hawing over this ring. ‘But, I don’t usually buy doublets’, I reasoned to myself. ‘But, it’s such a lovely blue’, my heart shot back. ‘But, it’s a bit pricey for a silver ring’, my practical side objected. ‘But, just look at it!’, my romantic soul persisted. As in most matters like this, my heart won out over my head and I just had to this bring this fabulous ring home with me.

But, seriously, just look at it. This beautifully hand crafted Arts & Crafts ring is made in silver, with a large and commanding style. The mounting of the ring is fully and wonderfully carved with scrolling floral motifs. The ring is set with a large, 13x11mm opal doublet in the most fantastical shade of blue. The sides of this two-tone ring are accented with stylish gold flowers. The face of this ring measures 19.5 mm north to south and 17 mm across, it sits 7.2 mm off the finger and narrows to 5.3 mm at the back of the band. This ring is marked ‘925’ for sterling silver and weighs 11.2 grams. It is a size 8.75, but fits a little snuggly due to its wider width.

I don’t know exactly where this ring originates from, it could be English (that’s where I purchased it) or it could have Scandinavian roots, I’d believe either. Crafted around 1910-1920.

Kate Greenaway was a beloved children's writer and illustrator and a rival of Randolph Caldecott. Her first book was, 'Under the Window', a best-selling collection of stories about the idyllic lives of children. Her wonderful characters were used widely in Victorian times to decorate porcelain, clothes, and all manner of items, including jewelry. She would portray her characters in early 19th century clothing, which in turn influenced the Victorian fashion of the times. Liberty of London adapted her drawings as designs for actual children’s clothing! This sweet brooch is a stunning example of how her illustrations shaped fashion.

This Kate Greenaway brooch was handcrafted in Victorian England around 1890. It is crafted in 18 karat gold and features the motif of a boy whispering into a girl’s ear. A fence makes up the background while a cute cat and a woven basket sit near the couple’s feet. This brooch pin is decorated with two pearls and two rose cut diamonds. This piece measures 32.5 x 24 mm and it weighs 8.1 grams. It bears the gold purity mark, “18” and the maker’s mark, “AF”.

I always found Kate Greenaway to be a role model. Her career is aspirational as her work affected both the literary community and the fashion industry. She was a woman making strides well over a hundred years ago and her books are still coveted today. This brooch is a token of her successes and her brilliant imagination.

I wanted something fun, something fresh, something subtle. Then I saw this pearly citrine crown ring and decided that “subtle” was no longer in my vocabulary. This piece is an assemblage of beauty, a collection of gems fit for a king. Honestly, I have no regrets.

This regal ring features a large calf cut citrine stone topped with a crown of beautiful white pearls accented with diamonds. The stones in this ring are set in platinum with an 18 karat gold back and shank. The lively citrine is a very clean stone, even looked at through a 10 power jewelers loupe. There are seven pearls that decorate the top and bottom of the citrine. They’re creamy in color and spherical in shape. The largest pearl is 7 mm in diameter while the smallest is 4.4 mm in diameter. The ring shoulders are made of 16 Old European cut diamonds, for a total weight of .36 carats. A few of the diamonds are old European cuts and a few are single cut. There are no marks on this ring and it has been acid tested to verify metal content. The face measures 26.5 x 30 x 28 mm and is 10 mm tall off of the finger. It is a size 6 and weighs 14.1 grams. Hand crafted in the 1930s, I’m not sure where, but most likely European in origin.

Forget the style limits you’ve given yourself in the past and drink this statement piece in! Enjoy this ever-decadent cocktail ring!

It was like the ocean found its way into each stone, with the bluest blue you’d ever seen. Somehow the noontime sky made its way in, too, with its cloudless atmosphere and soothing effect. It has a color that’s hard to pinpoint. It’s like a robin’s egg or a blue jay, or those gentle dragonflies in the summer heat. It’s a color that matches the Caribbean sea when the sun hits it, the same color of her eyes.
