Opal Diamond Gold Ring 3 Stone
$ 850.00
I was wandering New Bond Street, with an Everbean coffee in hand, and frosted gluten free coffee cake in the other. I was enjoying the early morning briskness as I waltzed in to one of my favorite hidden gems of an antique store. After trying on too many tweed jackets from the 70’s, and shopping the shoe section for far too long (the brown leather go-go boots were to die for), the owner pulled out a silk drawstring bag. Between your basic gold bands, a silver bauble or two, and a few loose garnets, was this stunner. I slipped it on and wore it for the next week. I had to test it out before selling it to you, I am a professional, after all.

Antique 18k Gold Curb Link Bracelet with Heart Lock Dated 1902
$ 2,680.00 $ 3,160.00
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.

Antique French Ivy Leaf Earrings Back-to-Front
$ 980.00
Ivy clings, it grows along walls, over stones, up trees, and inches toward the sky, forming a unity with its sturdy base. Jewelry with an ivy motif was given as a representation of fidelity, friendship and eternity during the 1800s. In Britain, ivy was called, “lovestone”, named for the way it clung to stone walls.
These antique French ivy leaf gold earrings were handcrafted around 1890 in 18 karat gold. Each drop earring features a round creamy white pearl at the top with a long drop link chain that leads to an ivy leaf shaped drop dotted with another round pearl. A rose cut diamond can be found at the very top of each earring, adding glimmer to an elegant pair of earrings. Each earring measures 42 x 11 mm and together they weigh 2.1 grams. They bear the eagle head hallmark, indicating they are made in 18 karat gold and they were essayed in Paris.
These earrings have a back to front closure which works just as it sounds. The earring goes through the ear from behind and clips in the front. They are extremely comfortable to wear, but it can take a little time getting used to putting them on. The key is to wiggle the earring instead of trying to just push it through. Don't be surprised if you get hooked on this style of closure once you get used to it!

Antique Victorian Ivy Motif Locket in 15k Gold
$ 720.00
They spent the weekend at their parent’s house in the country. By the end of Friday night, they needed a break and went on a quick getaway to the nearest gas station. It was the only place open within 20 miles. They sang to old Willie Nelson songs and commented on the inky blue sky. They’d been sisters for 30 years and best friends the entire time. The eldest held a locket in her hands, with photos of the two of them. The first was from last summer, when they found themselves in bikinis on a pontoon, drinking lemonade, and jumping off the boat. The second was from a family reunion, years and years ago. She had been four-years-old and her sister had just turned three. They were throwing water balloons and cupcakes at each other; they’re mother was laughing, as their father picked her up.
Have you ever seen anything more interesting than an antique Victorian locket with an ivy motif? Me neither! This wonderful slice of Victorian culture was handcrafted circa 1880 in 15 karat gold. Both the front and the back are decorated with repoussed metalwork, which gives the piece floral yet structured details. Open the locket and you’ll find royal purple fabric, waiting for your favorite photographs! This piece measures 37.1 x 19.3 x 11 mm and weighs 8.7 grams. Acid tested to confirm gold content.
Adorn yourself with a memento of your choice inside a golden shell from the Victorian Era!

Stunning High Domed Moonstone and 1.25ctw Diamond Ring, Edwardian Antique in 18k Gold
Sold Out - $ 4,820.00
You should wear this ring at night. In a dress of white under the full moon, your diamonds and moonstones, your dress and your eyes, all reflecting the large and blue glowing summer moon in a dark sky punctured by only the brightest stars. In daylight, indoors, even under the awful glare of fluorescent office lights, the ephemeral blue and silver dances within this highly domed stone, a little bit of the moon to take along through your duller days. The diamonds fill in extremely nicely for the glittering of stars in a night sky. Just looking at it reminds you of moonlit nights, and this reminder changes the way you move; which makes this ring exceedingly lovely, and excessively flattering to your lovely form.
This hand crafted ring is unmarked but has a decidedly English feel. I purchased it at a fair in the North of England. The moonstone is a beautiful luminescent silver blue and measures 11 mm north to south and 6.3 mm across, it is 6.1 mm deep and weighs approximately 3.1 carats. The three diamonds to either side are gorgeous and chunky old European cushion cuts, they are very bright and clean and weigh approximately .2-.25 carats each for a total weight of 1.2-1.5 carats. The face of this ring measures 11.8 mm north to south and 18.7 mm across and it sits 9 mm off the finger, it narrows to 1.9 mm at the back of the band. The ring is a size 7.5 US and could be carefully re-sized somewhat, but it might be tricky to go more than a size or so in either direction. Please let me know if you’re interested in re-sizing and I’ll check with my jeweler to see if it will work for your size. This ring weighs 7.1 grams.
The height of this smooth cabochon moonstone gives it an incredible array of refractive colors and light and the old cut diamonds are the perfect supporting cast, it’s simply stunning. This luxurious ring was made in England around 1905 at the beginning of the Edwardian era, it has the architecture of a late Victorian ring and the moonstone and diamond combination and lightness of look that would come to characterize the Edwardian era.

Victorian Amethyst Silver Gilt Necklace Bangle Bracelet Set
$ 1,280.00
Did you know that it was the mighty Amethyst which gave us purple as the color of royalty? The thought was that Amethyst was the rarest of gems, rarer still than the almighty diamond. With a stone so beautiful and so rare, it’s easy to see why for generations it was restricted to be worn only by Royalty. It wasn’t until the 18th century that vast Amethyst deposits were discovered in Brazil.
This two piece Victorian set is hand crafted in silver which has been gilded to give it a golden look. The stylish bangle is set with three round, bright violet amethyst gems which together add up to 9 carats of gems; it’s further set with 18, 1.5 mm creamy white seed pearls and it measures 12.7 mm wide at the widest point, it would fit a wrist of about 6.75 inches or less and it weighs 10.8 grams. The necklace is 15 inches long and is set with 9 oval cut amethysts which add up to 11.5 carats in gems; it’s accented with 9, 1.5 mm pearls. The necklace closes with a barrel clasp and weighs 11.5 grams. Neither of the two pieces is hallmarked, but we’ve carefully acid tested them both and verified that they are silver.
I’m not entirely certain whether this set started life out together or not. Both pieces were hand crafted in Europe in about 1880 and they look lovely together. I purchased them as a set and I’m selling them the same way.

Vintage Amethyst Gold Cocktail Ring 16ct
$ 980.00
Did you know that amethyst has long been associated with Dionysus, the Greek God of wine? The story goes that Dionysus, in his regular drunken state, was pursuing a maiden named Amethystos, who rebutted his affection. She prayed to the gods that she might remain chaste and pure and the goddess Artemis answered her prayers by changing her to a pillar of pure white stone. When Dionysus saw this, in his grief he poured his wine over her, turning the stone to purple. This myth gave the ancients the idea that wearing amethyst would protect the wearer from drunkenness, and the word Amethyst translates as ‘not drunk’.
Maybe that makes this ring perfect for nights out and cocktails with the crew? Well, I don’t think this ring will protect you from result of many trips to the bar, but it will keep you looking while you’re at it!

Pair Georgian Silver Luckenbooth Brooches Pins Scottish Wedding Jewelry
$ 1,880.00
The ‘Luckenbooth’ gets it’s name from the locked booths that sold these iconic brooches along the Royal Mile near St. Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh, Scotland. These brooches were part of the historical crown and heart motif which 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. I was thrilled when I came across this fabulous large pair on my last trip to London, and was even more happier when I saw the early hallmark, dating this wonderful piece to the early years of the Victorian era.
These wonderful, early antique silver Luckenbooth brooches were handcrafted in Scotland, in about 1780. They bear minimalistic engraving overtop overlapping hearts topped with a crown. The brooches are hand crafted and so while I suspect they are a matched pair, they are very slightly different in size.

Inside the stately stone manor house hundreds of candles were lit and fires burned brightly in giant hearths; the warmth fogging the windows from the inside, creating cozy shadows for those looking in.

Compacts were becoming popular around the turn of the 20th century. However, makeup wasn’t entirely socially acceptable. If a lady ventured into a beauty store, she would try and sneak in through the back. Some boutiques had secret hidden doors for the most important of the clientele. The idea of blending blush onto your cheeks in public was absurd. So, the clever women of the time decided to hide their powders, creams, and rouge in witty ways. Makeup could be found in pendants, like this piece, brooches, pocketbooks, bangles, and even walking sticks. Lipsticks could be found hidden away in the handle of a hairbrush!
This fantastic compact doubles as a locket. Hand crafted and set with a beautiful mother of pearl pansy on the front, this lovely piece is hallmarked as having been made in 1907. The compact contains it’s original downy puff and would have held powder, likely highly scented. The pendant measures 59.8 mm from top to bottom and 49.4 mm across, it’s 10.4 mm thick and weighs 23.6 grams. Open it up and you’ll find a gilded interior and small mirror set into the lid. The compact is hallmarked on the inside with marks showing that it was made in Birmingham, England in 1907, it also has the makers mark of ‘CS & FS’ for the firm of Conelium Desormeaux Saunders & James Francis Hollings Shepherd whose mark was first registered in 1893 and who worked in Birmingham, Chester and London.
The Edwardian era was the beginning of making makeup and compacts culturally acceptable. Even makeup counters were (slowly) being introduced to stores. Women spent hours applying creams to their skin as skin care was the most important aspect of the makeup routine. Rouge for those rosy cheeks, matchsticks for those smoky eyes, eyebrow pencils for that thin brow line, and plotting paper for a light complexion were the mainstays of the era.

Fabulous Antique Victorian Paste Necklace in Silver
$ 1,850.00
When Jackie Kennedy came across her famous Sunburst brooch in the window of an antique jewelry shop in London, she knew she had to have it. Yet, even though she was the wife of the President, she didn’t have the $50,000 to buy it. So, she returned to America after making the shop owner promise to hold it for her. In order to buy the piece that had captured her heart, she sold off some other jewelry from her collection, mostly items given to her by her in-laws, Joe and Rose Kennedy. In an effort not to offend them she had costume copies made of all the jewels she sold. The copies were so good that it wasn’t until after her death that the family even knew which pieces were real and which weren’t.
I imagine a similar sort of tale for this most stunning Victorian paste necklace. This gorgeous piece is clearly a copy that was made from a stunning diamond original. The necklace is completely hand crafted and is bezel and prong set with 208 exquisitely sparkling paste gems. It features 26 floral links which graduate in size and has one bezel set paste in between each flower. The necklace is crafted in sterling silver and the box clasp is hidden in the back. This necklace no doubt echoes it’s diamond predecessor in every way, even down to the fold over safety catch. It is 16.5 inches long and 15.2 mm wide at the widest point, it weighs 50.2 grams. It tests as silver and is marked only with a mysterious ‘8’. Hand crafted in England in about 1870.
This super-sparkly copy could easily be mistaken for the real thing, and just to prove it to myself, I’ve worn it to some fancy events where it’s garnered many a complement and more than a few longing stares!

“But soft! What light through yonder window breaks?
It is the East, and Juliet is the sun!
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief
That thou her maid art far more fair than she.
Be not her maid, since she is envious.
Her vestal livery is but sick and green,
And none but fools do wear it. Cast it off.
It is my lady; O, it is my love!” - William Shakespeare

Antique French 55 inch Long Guard Chain Necklace in Silver, c. 1900
$ 1,750.00
Chains are my arch nemesis, they are hard to find and easy to sell and I never seem to have enough of them. So, you can already guess how giddy I was when I came across this fantastic Art Nouveau long guard chain. Giddy. Truly, giddy.
Set with 7 artfully done links showing lilies of the valley, this 55 inch chain was hand crafted around 1900. The fancy links measure 16x7.6 mm and are evenly disbursed throughout the chain. This chain was made in France and is marked with the French boars head mark, the purity mark for silver. As is typical for a long guard chain (usually used to hold a watch), both ends of the chain are attached to the same jump ring, so it doesn’t open like a typical chain, the clasp is meant to hold a watch or bauble, the chain meant to be worn wrapped around the neck. This French beauty weighs 19.1 grams.

Antique French Serpent Brooch Pin 18k Gold Pearl
$ 1,750.00
I was an imaginative child and was always enamored with animals of myth, the unicorn, the dragon, the cycles and minotaur. I greedily devoured books and movies like the Chronicles of Narnia and the Lord of the Rings; the Neverending Story was one of my favorites along with the Dark Crystal and Labyrinth. So, I guess it’s not unusual that I would find myself drawn to jeweled representations of these beasts as a grownup!
This fantastic brooch depicts what is probably an Amphiptere, a type of winged serpent which is often seen in European heraldry; the Amphiptere is a beast with wings but no legs and the body of snake, usually covered in feathers. It could also be a Wyvern, but as it’s leg-less I’m thinking it’s likely an Amphiptere. The beast has a creamy white pearl clutched in its jaws. This wonderful piece measures 19.8 mm north to south and is 61.5 mm long, it weighs 8.5 grams. The brooch is marked on the pin stem and clasp, which is typical for French pieces, it bears the eagles head purity mark for 18 karat gold as well as a French makers mark.
This beautifully detailed brooch is finished front and back, it could easily be converted to a necklace upon request.

Fabulous Antique English Slide Locket Pendant Clover Pearl
$ 1,750.00
The Victorians had a whole secret language of symbolism, flowers, plants, colors, animals, objects like anchors and arrows and crescents all had their own meanings. The clover was one of those with a hidden meaning, it meant ‘think of me’, the perfect sentiment for a locket.
This sweet locket dates to the very end of the Victorian period, and is so wonderfully made. When closed the locket looks like a simply clover pendant with a pearl at its center, but slide it open and it reveals three heart shaped lockets hidden within. I believe the these lockets hold hair at the moment and probably have since its earliest days, but it could be transformed to hold something else. This locket was hand crafted in England around 1900, it’s inscribed to the reverse with two sets of initials in very different styles, likely they were done at different times. The monogram of ‘MOI’ and the initials ‘W.L’ are on the backs of two of the leaves and the third contains a date, ‘Feb: 16th 1904’, when the locket is open it reveals from the reverse a mark of ’15’ for 15 karat gold, of which it’s created. The locket measures 32.3 mm top to bottom and 27 mm across, it’s 7.8 mm thick. This wonderful locket is quite hefty and weighs 8.7 grams.

Antique Peridot Solitaire Ring in 18k Gold
$ 850.00
Peridot is the only gemstone found in meteorites. Granted this particularly lovely bright olive green emerald-cut Peridot is most likely Earth-made, but I find it fascinating to think of all those big chunks of rock flying through the cosmos with these lovely green crystals along for the ride. Is is just coincidence that Kryptonite looks a little like Peridot? I think not.
This wonderful bright green peridot is the star of this sparkling ring. Hand crafted around 1910, this lovely and lively stone measures 7.5 x 7 x 3.2 mm and weighs about 1.25 carats. Overall the face of this ring measures 14 mm north to south and 10 mm across, and the shoulders are adorned with golden bows. This size 5.5 ring weighs 3.6 grams and is marked inside the band with ’18k’. I think that this lovely ring is American in origin.

Victorian Bloodstone Fob Locket Pendant with Hair
$ 1,280.00
I do have a weak spot for jewelry with a secret. Inscribed rings that hide a lovers sentiment, lockets with pressed flowers or old photographs of mysterious people. I especially have a weakness for pieces like this one, a regular looking fob with a hidden locket that opens to reveal a beautifully plated lock of hair.
This handsome bloodstone fob is carved with an armored arm protruding from an ornate crown and holding a menacing sword or dagger. The casing is 15 karat gold and the fob is hinged at one side and swings open to reveal a beveled crystal with ornately woven hair underneath. This wonderful and unusual fob measures 27 mm high and the face measures 15.5x13.5 mm, the bloodstone is 13x11 mm, and the fob weighs 7.4 grams. We’ve acid tested this one as it’s unmarked.

Victorian Gold Cameo Earrings Man and Woman
$ 950.00
An art form handed down from the early Greeks and Romans, the cameo regained popularity in the fifteenth and sixteenth century revivals of Europe. Queen Victoria’s love of cameos combined with the burgeoning middle class of the Industrial revolution brought cameos of all kinds to Victorian England.
These wonderful cameo earrings feature classical profiles, one a man and one a woman, the two facing each other. It's most likely that these two are Zeus and Hera, the original 'power couple'. The beautifully detailed carvings are done in shell and set in 9 karat gold twisted wire frames. They would originally have had wires at the top but these have been replaced with post style tops. The earrings measure 27.1 x 17.8 x 9.1 mm and while unmarked they have been acid tested for gold purity. Together these earrings weigh 6.8 grams.
