Watching Victoria, Poldark or Downton Abbey might make you think that living in the Victorian era would be glamorous. It may make you want to wander the streets of London in corsets and layered dresses amidst horse drawn carriages, to attend soirees and full out balls. However, quite apart from the crime and deprivation of the time, the diseases of this period would often wipe out whole families and even villages. I have little doubt that it was something like Typhoid or Cholera which took out the two ladies listed on this sweet and touching memorial ring.

Hand crafted in about 1868, this fantastic memorial ring is set with an oval of smooth cut Sardonyx and is wrapped in finely woven hair around the band. This wide band is fully engraved on the outside and on the inside is engraved with the inscription “Hannah Crichton died 9th Novr 1868” and “Agnes Nichol Crichton died 16th Novr 1868”. This ring is a size 8.25 US and cannot be resized. This wonderful, wide band ring measures 14.2 mm north to south at the face and 12.9 mm across, it is 9.8 mm at the back of the band. This ring is not hallmarked but does bear a makers mark of ‘HC & Co’, it has been carefully acid tested to verify the gold content of 15 karat gold. This ring weighs 6.7 grams.

This is the kind of bracelet that holds its own as a single just fine, but plays oh, so nicely with others. Wear one, wear three, or go nuts and stack up as many as you can fit, they make a wonderful musical sound when paired up and people will hear you coming and smile.

This antique 15 karat yellow gold curb link bracelet was hand crafted in England around 1900. It was made by a master craftsman who would roll the gold and then hand form each link by wrapping the gold around pitch, then it would be slightly heated to let the pitch run out. The result is a bracelet that is light and airy while looking large and chunky. The Victorians didn’t have the same easy access to gold that we have now, so they had to make due with what they could find and they created the most beautiful hollow jewelry. This wonderful piece is 7.5 inches long and closes with a heart shaped padlock which has a safety chain for added security. The links of the bracelet measure 12 x 10 x 5 mm and the lock is 23.6 x 16.5 x 3.6 mm, it weighs 22.2 grams. Each link is marked with ’15’ for the gold content, as is the lock.

I was strolling through the narrow cobblestoned streets just north of Paris, in a small town not used to strangers. I found a sandwich shop and in my best broken French ordered ‘un sandwich avec jambon et fromage’ and a glass of Rosé. The man I ordered from was kind, he moved slowly, enjoying the summer’s heat. The small patio overlooked a valley of clay roofed houses and intertwining streets. I found a table and sat. As I held onto the stem of the clear glass, my bracelet caught the sun’s light, making it glow like a cave of wonders. I sipped the wine, tasting the notes of strawberry and basil, letting the flavors linger on my tongue. I noticed how my wrist looked like the sun itself, giving life to earth, making the heavens envious. I also noticed the view and the toughness of my baguette sandwich, and how the wine gave tastes to the bread that could only be found here, right here, in this place, in this moment.

I've always thought of myself as a bit of a gypsy, I get restless when I've been in one place for too long. Maybe that's why I find myself so attracted to these gypsy set rings, with their wonderful smooth look and feel, I think they speak to the gypsy in my soul.

This fantastic 3 stone gypsy set ring has marvelous old cut diamonds with rich, lively fire. Hand crafted in about 1880, the stones are set in a hefty shank of 18 karat gold. This size 8 ring was probably made for a man, but would be equally impressive on a woman, the perfect ring for someone who uses their hands a lot and would love something with a low profile. The center stone measures 5.25x4.5x4 mm and weighs approximately .6 carats, the outer stones are about 3.5x3.3x2.8 mm and weigh .2 carats each for a total diamond weight of just about 1 carat.

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. This ring is a size 5.75 and contains a tricky little clasp at the back which allows it to open to a size 6.75 and slide over a larger knuckle. It weighs 4.7 grams.

This is a unique and timeless engagement ring she’ll certainly say yes to!

There are only a few dealers that I buy from who have such exquisite taste and such amazing collections of jewelry that I actually want to be them. My friend Char is one such dealer, her selection of jewels is so tasty that I have to make sure to have a napkin just in case I end up drooling all over her cases! Lol, not really, but really.

The collective belief that says all new things are better than old is an old wives’ tale that I’m ready to abolish. Take a break from the usual and enter the antique side of things. I’ll warn you, it’s quite irresistible and rather addicting. Progressing backward in fashion goes against the flow, it defies logic - but darling, I think you’re due for a bit of rebellion.

It started to rain just ten minutes before the outdoor ceremony was supposed to start. She knew it had been a risk, but she really wanted to get married here, on this beach where they had first met, with her toes in the sand. So they waited, ten minutes, then twenty, then at twenty five the rain stopped, the skies began to clear. They passed out towels to the guests to dry their seats (at least she’d been prepared for this possibility). She linked arms with her Dad and he walked her down the sandy isle. A rainbow split the sky as she walked and she heard the little intake of breath from the gathered crowd. Perfect, she though, she’d known it would be perfect.

So, admittedly I do have a pretty big weakness for these fantastic Arts & Crafts and Art Nouveau silver and enamel pieces, but this one really got me in the feels. Something about the shape, that organic, tree of life feel to it, and the color, that bright mediterranean sea in the sunshine look to it, just had me trembling a bit. Did I mention the perfect weight and velvety feel of it? No? Did I mention how it’s the perfect piece to dress up a tee shirt and jeans or wear with a cocktail dress? No? Did I tell you how many compliments it will garner? How many conversations it will start? No? Hmmm… must’ve forgotten to mention that.

This fantastic Art Nouveau necklace was hand crafted in silver in about 1900, most likely in Germany. It is accented with blue enamel and has a matching drop.

It was the fourth of July, it was hot and steamy as we drove home with the moonroof pulled back and the stars shining overhead. Off to the sides we saw fireworks shooting over the horizon, some close and big with a distant ‘bang’, some silent and small and far away. On either side of us mother nature competed for her share of the glory, sending lighting sparkling through towering clouds which lit up gold and rose; and yet still the stars shone over us and a tiny sliver of silver moon bobbed in and out of the clouds. Sometimes a moon is so thin as not to spread any light, allowing for darkness and stars and fireflies and fireworks to light the night; other times the moon is so bright and full that you could drive with your headlights out, watching the grain fields wave in the blue light.

This necklace is more of a full moon kind of girl. Lively and bright, these moonstones have a blue light that seems to emanate from within; set in silver and accented with sparkling golden citrine, likes stars in a darkened sky. This fantastic Arts & Crafts necklace is likely English in origin, and that’s where I found it. Fully hand crafted around 1900, this necklace is eminently wearable, the 17.5 inch long chain puts the moonstone drop at just the right spot, the drop measures 44.5 mm north to south and 24.4 mm across at the widest point. The larger moonstone measures 13.7x12.4x4.8 mm and weighs approximately 5.83 carats, the smaller one is 11x7.3x5 mm and weighs approximately 2.87 carats. There are 10 faceted citrines around the edges which have a lovely rich whiskey color. This necklace weighs 8 grams.

Take a little bit of moonlight with you wherever you go with the stunning bit of history and art!

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.

In 1890, the Birmingham Jewellery and Silversmiths’ Association opened a school specifically for jewelry making on Vittoria Street in Birmingham. More than 125 years later, the Birmingham School of Jewellery is still there, educating students in the worlds of silversmithing, horology, gemology, and more. The school is found at the heart of the city’s Jewellery Quarter, now an urban center with a creative atmosphere. The jewelry trade was once considered the most lucrative career in Birmingham. Apprentices were required to attend the Birmingham School of Art, in which, the branch of Jewellery and Silversmithing was found. The Jewellery Quarter once produced 40% of the UK’s jewelry. It is where many technological advancements in the world of jewelry making were born.

This antique Arts & Crafts silver turquoise drop necklace was handcrafted in England by the Birmingham School around the year 1910. The largest turquoise is a robin egg blue shade with metallic matrices throughout. It’s oval en cabochon cut and oh so lovely. The center turquoise is round en cabochon and the bottom turquoise is oval en cabochon. This necklace was made in silver on a 17.75-inch chain. The drop measures 65 x 25 mm. This piece weighs 9.1 grams. It has been acid tested.

This unapologetically chic necklace is hard for me to give up. It goes so well with a white t-shirt and jeans, and that sundress I wear all the time, and that low cut black dress…

I was shopping at Newark, which bills itself as 'England Largest Antiques Fair', when I came across this stunningly beautiful Arts and Crafts ring. I had just begun my day and starting out by visiting a dealer that I know quite well and wanted to buy from first. I picked out a few things, but my eye kept going back to this ring, to the rich blue moonstones and swirling circles of silver. What can I say? I'm a sucker for Arts and Crafts jewelry and this hand made moonstone ring just had me at hello. I love the long length of it, the glow of the stones contrasted with the shine of the silver.

This hand crafted ring was made in about 1910, or at least the top part of it was, I think that the piece started out as a brooch and that the shank is a more recent addition, it’s a lovely split shank and well done. The center moonstone measures 12 mm round and 5.5 mm deep and weighs about 5.67 carats, the other two stones measure 9.1 mm round and 5.7 mm deep and weigh about 6.76 together, for a total weight of moonstone in this ring of 12.43 carats. The ring face measures 45.1 mm from north to south and 212.6 mm across, it sits 10.8 mm off the finger and narrows to 3 mm at the back of the band. This size 6.25 ring weighs 13.4 grams. The ring is unmarked but test as sterling silver.

This is a truly stunning ring, a one of kind piece of art that promises to get noticed again and again and again!

Now here is a necklace fit for Royalty. It’s not demure, it’s not dainty, it’s bold and proud, and shows that you are not a damsel in distress, not a woman to be trifled with. I’m sure that this has always been a necklace owned by an important woman, and it’s ready for another one to come along.

This Austro-Hungarian masterwork is set with Amethysts and pearls and festooned with more pearls still. It wraps fully around the neck, never wavering in it’s beauty, making you just as interesting from behind. The necklace is hand crafted in silver which has been gilded at some point, giving it a slight golden hue. It is set with 88 amethysts, with the 11 largest stones measuring 5 mm across and it is encrusted in pearls and further detailed with black and white enameled petals on the 3 largest plaques. This piece was made in about 1870, and it is 15.75 inches long around the neck with a 3 inch drop at the front; it weighs 67.9 grams. It is marked with French import marks, the swan and the dogs head, showing that at some point it was imported into France and assayed for resale. The swan mark verifies that it is at least 800 silver.

This is the kind of jewelry that qualifies as a work of art, the kind of necklace that you buy a bust for and keep on your dresser so that you can enjoy looking at it even when it’s not draped around your gorgeous neck.

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 that I will never know! Then again, you might have noticed that I’m never adverse to making up their stories for myself!

This one features a fantastically carved coat of arms, handcrafted in a smooth mount of 18 karat gold. The oval bloodstone is carved with a shield of wheat of clover topped by a helmet with arrows. The ring is a size 6.75 US and measures 16 mm north to south and 15 mm across, it sits 4 mm off the finger. Made around 1850, the carving may pre-date the ring somewhat. The gold is marked ‘750’ for 18 karat gold and it is inscribed with initials on the back of ‘JVVS’ (perhaps, they’re a bit hard to make out). The ring weighs 6.8 grams.

This ring was most likely originally made for a man, but would be equally fabulous on a woman.

The art form of crystal based reverse intaglio, or Essex Crystal work, began in Europe, possibly in Belgium. The difference between reverse carving and intaglio is that an intaglio piece is carved into the front rather than the back of the surface. It is said that Thomas Cook first introduced this tedious process to England during the 1860s. His finished crystals were initially sold by Hancock’s in London. So why weren’t they called “Cook crystals” or “Hancock crystals”? Well, it so happened that a very popular artist named William Essex, who specialized in enamel miniatures, was assumed to have produced them because of the fineness of the workmanship. Essex was one of Queen Victoria’s favorite portrait artists and so it was probably just assumed that such beautiful work must be his, and the mistaken attribution stuck!

This antique Victorian celluloid pill box is set in the top with the most exquisitely carved and painted spider. I’m not usually a buyer of things non-jewelry, but I simply couldn’t resist this fantastic crystal with it’s detailed creeping spider. The crystal is set into a 9 karat gold frame and measures 14.2 mm across, while the box itself is 42.7 mm across and 19.6 mm deep, it has a silver band around the outside. The materials have been acid tested to verify content and the box weighs in at 17.3 grams.

Most Essex crystal designs fall into one of four categories: animals, birds, flowers, and nautical themes. Within the animal genre the most popular subjects were horses, dogs, and foxes, but this is the first time I’ve ever had the delight of stumbling upon a spider!

I’ve often wondered if jewels can flirt. The way they dance, shimmer, and shimmy, I find it’s a rather plausible hypothesis. Diamonds like these seduce the worthy and tease the unprepared.

In terms of aesthetic, the Edwardian Era stretches from 1895 to about 1915. However, King Edward VII, Queen Victoria’s eldest son and the person whom this period is named after, only ruled from 1901-1910. This was the final jewelry period that was named after a British monarch. In France this period of time was referred to as ‘La Belle Époque’ translating to ‘the beautiful era’, named after the luxurious lifestyles of the King and his Queen consort, Alexandra of Denmark. They established an international high society whose dress code required fine jewelry and lots of it. Although the couple influenced the Edwardian era’s visuals, artists and design houses did as well. During the Edwardian era, delicate design and feminine characteristics reigned. It was inspired by art from the 17th and 18th centuries. It was a time in which platinum was beginning to be used as jewelry making techniques improved. It was a time in which people cared a lot about which jewels were used in their pieces, and diamonds soared in popularity.
