For me it began with the box. I spotted it closed inside a dealers case one Sunday morning at the Horticultural Hall show in London. At first, because it was closed, I thought she was just selling the box, but upon inquiry she smiled and pulled it out of the case. She handed it to me and explained that she had just purchased it and hadn't had time to get it out. When I opened the box I was immediately smitten. Inside was this stunning bangle, perfect and original.

The style and workmanship of this bangle and it's box are simply top-notch. The bangle features an array of 17 perfectly color matched rosy pink pearls set in a very Classical design with 2 side pearls set into eight pointed stars. The balance and feel of this bangle are just perfection. The box is just the icing on this cake, done in rich royal blue velvet and silk and marked with the name of the retailer 'Goldsmith's Alliance Limited. Cornhill, London. It is completely hand made in leather with gold embossing and was clearly made to fit this bangle, which has benefited by being kept in excellent condition.

It is Mid-Victorian and was made around 1870. It is most certainly English although it bears no marks. It tests as 18 karat gold and weighs 26.5 grams out of the box. It is on the smaller side and would fit a wrist up to 7 inches around, but no more. Is a fantastic bangle which shows the highest quality of workmanship. A truly important piece of jewelry worthy of the most discerning collector!

Banking is a relatively new idea. Before the 19th century most people wore their wealth. The original idea of the chain, for example, was that you could pay for something by taking a link off of your chain, be it gold or silver. Precious metal has always equalled money, it was a good idea then and it remains a good idea today. Now, I wouldn't recommend paying for your Moët with a link off of this gorgeous French chain, but I suppose you could if you had to! 

Honestly, everyone really needs to own one of these long gold chains. Preferable two or three, if you can swing it, but if you're limited to one, this one is a particularly good place to start. Intricate, glowing links with the feel of soft silk that only old gold seems to achieve. This chain is completely hand made of large fancy links with a round links between teardrop links framed with intermittent small plain links. Each link is individually hand soldered and the chain has a matching large round spring ring clasp which attaches to both ends and would originally have been used to hang a watch. The chain is 50 inches long and tests as 18 karat gold. This chain was likely made around 1900. The chain weighs 46.9 grams. 

These chains are getting harder and harder to come by as many were broken up into several shorter lengths over time. It's always a treat when I find an original old long guard like this one!

Some pieces I buy on a pure, girly, bubble gum, princess fantasy level. Because, let’s face it, sometimes a girl just needs something sparkly and fabulous to get her through the day. Dropping off the kids, picking up the kids, doing load after load of laundry, feeding the dog (does anyone else remember to feed the dog?), they are all made a little bit easier when a girl’s got a good manicure and a ring like this on her finger. It’s equally excellent for romantic dates with the hubs, cocktails on Thirsty Thursday with the ladies, and if you’re so inclined, this one would be quite at home at the Academy Ball, dancing through the halls of the Bellevue in a frosty ball gown. 

This fabulous ring is set with a beautifully bright and lively green emerald the color of the deep rainforest. This emerald is very clean and clear, as emeralds go, it measures 5x3.6x2.25 mm and weighs approximately .3 carats. The emerald is the floral center of this ring and is surrounded by a swooping branch of diamonds, 18 in total, a mix of old European cuts and rose cuts that add up to about .3 carats. The ring is hand crafted in 18 karat yellow gold and the stones are all set in platinum, it has been acid tested to verify the metals. This ring has definite Art Nouveau styling and soft, graceful lines. The ring measures 10.9 mm north to south and 18 mm across, it narrows to 1.5 mm at the back of the band. This ring is a size 4.5 and could be re-sized somewhat, please inquire. This ring weighs 2.6 grams. 

Even though it’s unmarked, I feel that this ring may be French in origin, it dates to about 1910.

As baubles go, this one is extraordinary. A nod to the vanished elegance of a time gone by, a time of castles, mansions, and chateaux, when beautiful people dressed for dinner and women came into a room in a flutter of the softest silk. Chandeliers were lit, fires crackled, candelabras blazed, turning garnets like these into rich luminous velvety drops against alabaster skin. 

This spectacular Austro-Hungarian beauty dates to about 1890. It contains 23 silky smooth cabochon garnet gems, sometimes called ‘carbuncles’. The center stone measures 17.5 x 23.5 mm and the stones around the neck graduate from about 12x7 mm down to 10x14 at the back, where it culminates in a hidden clasp. The metal is silver gilt, beautifully engraved on the back. The necklace is marked with the double swan, a French import mark, the greyhound mark with indicates it was made in Pest (as in Budapest), Hungary of at least 800 silver. The marks indicate that it was made after 1872 and imported into France after 1893. This is a short, choker-style necklace and is just 14 inches long. It was certainly made this way, most likely a custom made piece for a petite lady with big style. Our jeweler could add some links to the back to make it a bit longer, but it might loose something if you add too much. The necklace weighs 88 grams. 

Every time I go shopping, there are a couple of items on my trip that just make me giddy with excitement. This was such a piece, it’s a stunningly beautiful necklace that I’m not likely to see the likes of again any time soon. I had to have it! Do you?

She dashed through clover fields, chasing after her dog, giggling and smiling because it was a bright Spring morning and the sun finally felt warm again after a long winter. She stopped when she came across a hillside laden with Lily of the Valley and plopped down, breathing deep, reveling in the heady scent. She crafted a woven crown of lilies for her head, and a collar for her dog. It was her favorite flower, it matched her bracelet, and how both reacted so perfectly with the sunlight beaming through the cumulous clouds.  

This darling antique gold bangle features a lily of the valley flower made of diamonds and pearls. It was handcrafted in about 1870 and has a safety chain for added security. The sparkling lily featured on this bangle is made up of 20 rose cut diamonds and four natural creamy white pearls, all set in silver. This piece is hallmarked with an owl and a swan, indicating it was imported to France, most likely from England, and holds a minimum silver fineness of 800 silver (in the setting). The gold purity content mark, ‘75’, can also be found on this beautiful bracelet, and in addition we’ve acid tested it to verify that it is 18 karat gold.

To the Victorians, the orchid represented rare and delicate beauty. They were seen as exotic, from the East, rare and in need of special care in a hothouse. Orchids are symmetrical and so they became associated with perfection. Dried and ground orchid tubers were used in love potions as the plant was considered an aphrodisiac.

This pretty enameled gold orchid pendant was handcrafted around 1900 in Europe. It’s a yellow and pink flower set in 18 karat gold. An Old European cut diamond, measuring 3 mm in diameter, sits at the very center of the orchid, with two smaller diamonds, measuring 1.35 mm in diameter, next to it. This pendant becomes a brooch when the hook and pin are screwed into the back. It’s a versatile piece ready for day to night. Overall, this pendant measures 30.6 x 33 x 14.8 mm and weighs 10.3 grams. It is unmarked and has been acid tested.

Confucius admired orchids and was quoted to have said, “The orchid grows where others cannot, enduring the hardships of hunger and thirst, and is loosely tied to the things that support it.  And, even with all the difficulty of its life, the orchid graces the world with beautiful color and rare fragrance.  This is like the life of the true gentleman, who sets himself to learn self-discipline, and whose character shines no matter where he is or what he experiences.”

Sometimes, it’s hard to find the right words for beautiful things. “Ooh”, “Aah, “Mhm”, “Wow”, “Yowzah”, and “Mine”, are my typical vocabulary for when my eyes set themselves on something good. Of course, there are even those times when something is so good, so everything-I-didn’t-know-I-needed, that my mouth doesn’t know how to work, my jaw drops, and I am speechless. It happened with this ring. Every angle is perfection. It’s so elegant you want to live in it, lucky for you, you can!

A diamond is, at it’s essence, just carbon, very specific and well-organized carbon. It’s pressurized and heated for a billion years, buried hundreds of miles beneath the grassy meadows and birch tree forests of the Earth’s surface. A deep-source volcanic eruptions tears a piece of the mantle, where this carbon sits, and carries it toward the surface. It cools. We discover it, we polish it, we cut it. Then it deservingly gets adorned onto a sapphire and gold ring that somebody very lucky will wear while sipping dandelion tea as these stones, full of history and rareness, glisten in the daylight.

She was at her table, with her coffee, reading a book. One hand turned the page while the other subconsciously twirled her hair.

Every year, on this same date, they dress in fancy clothes and meet clandestinely at the piano bar. They pretend not to know each other at first, not until one of them laughs and gives it away, or until one slips-up and admits defeat. It’s a game they play because this is where they first met, right beneath the black and white poster of an old silent movie, 30 years ago. This year he messed up first by ordering her favorite drink for her before she told him what it was. He said he did it on purpose. She laughed and bragged about her win. He pulled out a ring from his breast pocket and said he had to do it, because he just couldn’t wait to give her this. “Happy anniversary my love.”

They were like disco balls of blue iridescence hanging from her ears. He kept glancing at them as they flickered cool shades of color on her freckled cheeks. They were in a warm restaurant, sitting next to a window, with a crackling fireplace not far off. Outside, winter waited for them with glittering snowflakes and cold gusts. But for now, they stayed indoors, where there was hot chocolate, candlelight, and each other.

They wed in the woods with only the closest of friends and family. Her dress was of lace with crystals and pearls scattered within the fabric. She looked like a moonbeam, graceful and light. It was a good thing he’d written his vows on a notecard, because as he watched her walk down the aisle he’d forgotten everything expect how her eyes sparkled and shined. They stood next to each other as he slipped the diamond ring on her finger. They kissed for the first time after becoming officially each other’s.

Her hair was almost black, pulled back like Audrey’s, as she sat at a tall table in the corner of the bar. She was next to a window, waiting for him, or somebody, to join her. She ordered a gin Rickey and gazed outside at the passersby, as she played with the chain wrapped twice around her neck. It complemented the flecks in her bright green eyes and that burgundy lipstick. It was her touchstone in moments of silence, when she was deep in thought, wondering about anything and everything, kind of like right now.

She was in love with Art Nouveau, with the whiplash lines, the organic feel. She had purchased a property at 29 Avenue Rapp, in the 7th arrondissement in Paris. She would build an apartment building, make money and keep the 5th floor for her own use. She was meeting today with Jules Aimé Lavirotte, who designed buildings with exuberant and imaginative decoration, buildings that spoke to the artist in her soul. She wore this ring, she knew he would love it. He did. 

This Art Nouveau ring would be called Edwardian if it was English; not at all an ugly name, though perhaps a bit masculine for describing this light and airy style. Luckily for this ring, it’s French, it’s get’s to go by a much better name, this ring is Belle Époque, which translates as ‘Beautiful Era’, and indeed it is. Hand crafted in 18 karat and platinum topped, it is set with 31 bright and sparkly diamonds.

A wyvern is a two-footed dragon, a creature of fantasy, dating back thousands of years to Ancient Greece. “Dragon” originates from the Greek, “drakon”, meaning “huge serpent”. This make-believe animal the Ancient Greeks developed was likely just that, an abnormally large serpent with no wings or legs. Their dragons guarded treasures, shrines, and springs. They made homes near water inside caverns and they slept with their eyes open. Wyverns and dragons are both frequented throughout English heraldry, representing valor and protection. During the Victorian era, they were commonly associated with industry and mysterious faraway places.

This gorgeously detailed antique French gold and opal brooch was handcrafted around 1890. It is of a ferocious golden wyvern with two legs, a set of wings, and a fireball made out of an opal. It is as detailed on the back as the front, a true sign of exquisite workmanship. This brooch measures 35 x 40 mm and weighs 14.8 grams. This piece is hallmarked and bears the French eagle’s head, a cartouche containing the letters “H” and “P” with an anchor, and a variety of other French marks.

The Victorians loved their symbolism. Wyverns, a creature of guardianship and strength, has been a popular motif for centuries. This brooch pin is a lasting collectable.

Her silver cross glimmered in the sunlight that poured through the stained glass windows of the cathedral. She stood up front, in the choir, exclaiming Hallelujah. Candles lit up any dark spaces the church once had, flickering shadows around the walls.   

This Late Georgian Flemish Cross was handcrafted in gold and silver. All of the 29 winking white diamonds are rose cut, and foil backed, a technique used to bring out the true luster of the diamonds. The center rose cut diamond measures 5 mm in diameter. With this cross, sterling silver lies on top and it is backed in 14 karat gold. It has been professionally acid tested. It weighs 11.0 grams and measures 68.5 mm long, 43.6 mm wide and is 6.1 mm thick. This breathtaking piece was most likely made in the areas of Holland, Belgium or Austria. 

Known as a Flemish Cross, this cross is not only a symbol of faith, but a sign of fashion. A diamond cross did not simply decorate the necks of the wealthy, during the 18th and 19th centuries, but gave power and style to the devout. This cross, with a rose motif, is symbolic of the Virgin Mary. Traditionally, beautiful woman in the 19th century would receive this expensive gift and wear it with a long silver chain. Today, many of these Flemish crosses are owned by the church or in private collections. 

This traditional piece of jewelry boasts a modest elegance. It’s a necessity for every Christian’s jewelry box. Reaching every corner of this cross is a splendor of shiny metallics and careful detail.

There are a lot of moments. Some of them have cold rain that won’t let up. Some of them are too hot, sticky, and endless. But then there are those that are just right – where the air is as soft as washed silk against your skin, where the clouds are like frosting coating the sky in strips. 

It was just like last May, when he came home from work and found her on a sugar high from too much lemonade on the back porch. She was on the phone with her mama, happy and chatting and turning red from laughter. In that moment, he saw her soulful hazel eyes and her messy blonde hair. He watched how her eyebrows crinkled when she giggled and how she crossed her legs like a pretzel on that white wicker chair. He couldn’t stop himself from pulling the ring box out of his jacket and bending down on one knee. He watched her as she stopped mid-sentence, how she whispered, “Oh my goodness mama”, and how she squealed yes and jumped up and in to his arms.

Plique-à-jour is French, meaning, “letting in daylight”. It’s an enameling technique in which light is able to shine through the translucent final product. Plique-à-jour has been used since the Byzantine Empire dating back to the 6th century. In a pair of earrings like this, sunlight will shine through in the daytime, and moonlight will make them glow at night.

These antique diamond, pearl, and enamel gold earrings were handcrafted around 1860. They’re likely French and most certainly Continental. This set of earrings features an elegant oval motif with brilliant blue plique-à-jour enamel on a scrolling setting with two creamy white round pearls and three diamonds on each earring. One of the pearls sits at the top, surrounded in a delicate border of enamel while the other pearl sits at the bottom of the drop, making this pair of earrings shine. One of the diamonds sits at the center of the drop and is surrounded by a disk of blue enamel with two diamonds on either side, sparkling like the sun.

Each of the six diamonds are round, with each earring containing one Old European cut diamond (which is the center stone), one rose cut diamond, and one brilliant cut diamond (the rose cut and brilliant cut are one the sides of the center stone). The brilliant cuts are replacements for what once were rose cuts, we are happy to replace the brilliant cuts for rose cut diamonds upon request.

Each of the Old European cut diamonds measure 2.5 mm in diameter weighing .05 carats each. Both brilliant cuts measure 1.7 mm in diameter and weigh .02 carats each. The two rose cuts measure 1.7 mm in diameter. Each earring measures 53 x 20 mm and together they weigh 13.1 grams. There are no marks and they have been acid tested. This set of earrings should be worn as often as possible, treasured and cherished, because they’re gorgeous and look perfect on you.

On my days off in London, which are sadly few and far between, I do one of two things, if it’s a weekend, I make my way over to Liberty and wander the floors, have high in their wonderful tea room. If it’s a weekday, I make my way to the Tower of London to visit my dear friends, the Royal Crown Jewels. My favorite amongst them is the Imperial State Crown; the crown has existed in various forms since the 15th century, but the current version was made in 1937 and in addition to holding the 317 carat Cullinan II diamond, it also proudly showcases the Black Prince’s Ruby. The ‘ruby’ is not a ruby at all, but actually a red spinel. On one visit I took to chatting with the Beefeater in residence in the jewel room that day and he told me that the reason there is a ruby set into the polished, but uncut, spinel, is to hide a hole. This hole was drilled by Henry V so that he could wear the jewel during the battle of Agincourt for luck. It must have worked because Henry’s army, though vastly outnumbered, beat back the French to end the Hundred Years War. The jewel, however, was lost during the battle, and so Henry sent his troops back to the battlefield to search for it. It took them three weeks of looking and they eventually found it underneath of a deceased French soldier.

This spinel is a bird of a different color. Well, honestly, of several different colors. If you’re inside it appears to be pink kissed with violet, but outside in the sunshine it’s much more of a purple tinged with blue. The stone is a rounded oval faceted cut which measures 8.4x7.8x5.7 mm and weighs approximately 2.9 carats. The spinel is surrounded by 14 Old European cut diamonds that weigh approximately .08 carats each for a total of just over one carat in stones. They are beautiful diamonds, white and sparkling. The stones are set into a lovely hand crafted 18 karat gold mounting, it’s marked ’18ct’, but we’ve also acid tested it to make sure. It measures 18.9 mm north to south and 13 mm across and narrows to 2 mm at the back of the band. The ring is a size 8.25 but could be re-sized to suit. I’m not sure where this one was made, I purchased it in London, I would date it to circa 1890.

This fabulous cluster ring would make an unusual and truly stunning engagement ring!
