Unusual Art Nouveau Victorian Garland Era Silver Bangle Bracelet
Sold Out - $ 880.00
The Aesthetic Movement, which was the driving force behind much of the Victorian silver jewelry that was made in England, began in the 1860s and starting winding down in the last few years of the 1890s. New styles were coming in, Edwardian and Belle Epoque jewelry eschewed chunky Victorian styles moved to a lighter, more ephemeral feel, and the dynamic duo of Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau came sweeping through with something utterly new.
It is exceedingly rare (like this is the first time in 20 years) for me to see a bangle like this one, which shows the clear intersection of the Victorian and Art Nouveau styles. It wasn’t all clean, the changing of style, it was messy at the edges and styles overlapped, sometimes to wonderful effect. This fabulous late Victorian bangle dates to about 1895, it shows the beginnings of the Art Nouveau style, with a nod to the motifs that would sweep though that style and it also has garlands of colored flowers, a very Edwardian motif. The flowers seem to be done with gold and platinum in the overlay, this kind of blue tone to the central flowers is indicative of platinum which was being used in this way a the time, pink gold roses and green gold leafs add to the very three dimensional floral sprays.
This hand crafted bangle is 25 mm wide and would comfortably fit a wrist of up to 6.5 inches. It weighs 27.1 grams, it is unmarked but tests as sterling silver.

Art Deco Opal Diamond Cluster Ring 18k Gold Platinum
Sold Out - $ 750.00 $ 880.00
'All of Nature’s splendor seems to be reflected in the manifold opulence of fine Opals: fire and lightnings, all the colors of the rainbow and the soft shine of far seas. Its origins go back to a time long before our memory, to the ancient dream time of the Australian aborigines. It is reported in their legends that the creator came down to Earth on a rainbow, in order to bring the message of peace to all the humans. And at the very spot, where his foot touched the ground, the stones became alive and started sparkling in all the colors of the rainbow. That was the birth of the Opals.' - ICGA website
Opals always seem to me to be lit from within with their own internal flames. Flashes of red and yellow, orange, blue and green make this gorgeous opal and diamond ring a feast for the eyes!
This perfect opal and diamond cluster ring was hand crafted in 18 karat and platinum around 1930, in the heart of the Art Deco era. The star of the show is an oval, cabochon cut opal which reveals new colors and light from every angle. Bezel set in gold to accentuate it's beauty, this stunning gem measures 5.1 x 4.3 x 2.2 mm and weighs approximately .3 carats. It is surrounded by a halo of 8 old cut diamonds, weighing roughly .4 carats, which twinkle with your every move. Additionally, each shoulder is accented with a single rose cut diamond accented by platinum bright work. The ring weighs 2.2 grams, and was likely originally marked with an "18ct&Plat" mark but the 18ct part has been sized out at some point. It has however, been professionally acid tested to verify it's gold content, and tests as 18k. The top of the ring measures 9.6 mm north to south, 8.8 mm across, it sits 5 mm off the finger, and the band narrows to 1.9 mm at the back. This ring is a US size 5.

French Moonstone Brown Pearl Cluster Ring
$ 1,000.00

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
$ 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.

Reserved ~ Arts & Crafts Sapphire Pearl Gold Necklace by Artificers' Guild
Sold Out - $ 1,765.00
Sapphires have been attributed to royalty since the beginning of written history. The color and rarity of the stone signified power and wealth. During the Middle Ages, sapphires were thought to be the divine stone, to shield the wearer from harm and disease. The Edwardian era marked a time of luxury and indulgence. Sapphire motifs with pearl accents, like this necklace, were fashionable.
This breathtaking antique Arts and Crafts sapphire and pearl gold necklace was made in England, around 1910. I feel confident in attributing this necklace to The Artificers’ Guild, which was founded in 1901. It was one of the few Arts & Crafts inspired businesses in England to find commercial success. This piece features meandering golden tree branches with 14 white lustrous pearls for leaves; each pearl measures 2.5 mm in diameter. It’s an undulating design with three sapphires that gradate from darkest to lightest as they flow from the top to the bottom, and total a weight of 3.1 carats. The main feature measures 64 x 52 mm. This necklace weighs 12.2 grams and is 22 inches in length, including the drop. It is hallmarked with the gold purity mark, ‘15ct’, signifying it was made in 15 karat gold.
This nature-inspired necklace curves smoothly about and would be a positively perfect gift, even for yourself.

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!

I was reading an article the other day reported on studies done in Finland which show that love and happiness make you physically warm.

The 12 diamonds measure on average 3 mm across and 2 mm deep and weigh .15 carats, for about 1.5 carats of total diamond weight. The diamonds are very bright, white and well color matched; they are clean stones with small to medium sized culets. The ring is currently a size 7.25 but could be resized up or down to suit by a skilled jeweler, it weighs 3.5 grams. The ring is unmarked but has been carefully acid tested to verify content.

Antique Art Nouveau Sapphire and Diamond Ring, 18k Gold and Platinum c. 1900
$ 1,680.00
The morning was a bright one. Spring time in Paris, sunny and brisk. The air smelled sweet from all the trees and flowers in bloom, tinged with the smells of fresh coffee and sweet things baking in the shops along the street. I stopped into a cafe to pick up a cafe creme and a pain au chocolat, it was warm inside and slightly steamy. Then off to do a little shopping. Is there really any better combination than coffee, chocolate, and diamonds? Not that I know of! (Well, okay, diamonds go pretty well with champagne, too, but it was just a wee bit too early in the morning for that!).
This wonderfully sweet sapphire and diamond ring has a very definite Art Nouveau feel to it. Set in the center is a bright blue .6 carat round faceted natural sapphire, providing star support on either side of the sapphire are two lovely and lively old European cut diamonds, each of which weigh about .3 carats. The sides of this ring are accented with another 14 rose cut diamonds, all of the diamonds are set in platinum, the rest of the ring tests as 18 karat gold. This ring bears no marks, but I did purchase it in France and suspect that it is French in origin and lost its mark to resizing somewhere along the way, it dates to about 1900-1910. We've carefully acid tested it to verify the metal content. Overall, the ring measures 16.5 mm north to south, 12 mm across and sits 5 mm off the finger. It is currently a size 7.5 but could be resized a bit in either direction, it weighs 4.1 grams.
This gorgeous and sparkling ring would make an elegant and unusual engagement ring. It would go great with everything; jeans, cocktail dresses, even chocolate croissants!

Victorian 'Regard' Wedding Band Ring in 15k Gold Sz 8.75
$ 960.00
Phrases like Regard and Adore are often seen in anachronistic jewelry made during the Victorian era, done in gems like ‘A(mehtyst)d(iamond)o(pal)r(ruby)e(merald)’, but the messages of these gemmier rings became super popular and in the later Victorian era they popped up all over, in script as well as spelled out in stones.

Edwardian Suffragette Pendant 9k Gold Pearl Amethyst Peridot
Sold Out - $ 1,600.00
“I would rather be a rebel than a slave" - Emmeline Pankhurst, leader of the British Suffrage Movement
She carried a sign and wore a purple scarf tied around the brim of her hat that covered her nose and her mouth. Most of the women there were dressed the same, carrying their own signs. A colorful crew of beautiful women, she thought as she looked around at her fellow women-in-arms. It was 1918, and they were so close, so close to gaining purchase, to finally having the right to vote, to being a true and equal part of society, to having an actual voice in the decisions which affected them every hour of every day.
A plague was ravishing Europe, the Spanish Flu they called it, because only the Spanish newspapers had been left uncensored to write and warn about it. For almost four years there had been a war on, a great war, the War to End all Wars, they said. Her fellow women had stepped up, they had taken on the jobs that their husbands and sons had left behind; they had marched into factories and stores and warehouses across the land. The men had left her town and her country in droves to go and fight on the front lines, and it was her job, and the job of all these women around her, to keep the country moving, fulfilling all the essential needs of it’s people and it’s fighting forces. So yes, she marched, and she held her sign high and she shouted from behind her covered face, because she would do this, she would push and push and push, for herself, for the daughters she had yet to have, for her nieces and her friends and most of all for her country, her beloved England.
This could be the necklace she was wearing. We’ll never really know, but it was hand crafted in England around 1910 and it is set with the colors Green, White and Violet which, possibly subversively, may have also been the letters for the suffrage movement, Give Women the Vote! The Green in this case is a sparkling round peridot drop, the White is 27 creamy pearls and the Violet is of course a wonderful amethyst heart at the pendants center. This pendant is made in 9 karat gold, as much English jewelry was at this time, and is marked to the reverse with ‘9ct’. This pendant measures 62 mm from top to bottom and is 35 mm across, it weighs 3.7 grams. There is no chain included, but we have a lovely off-line selection of chains and would be happy to help match one up, just let us know.
On November 21st of 1918, the Parliament of England passed the Qualification of Women Act which gave the vote to about 8.5 million women in the UK, however it extended voting rights only to women over 30 (the age for men was 21) who were land owners or the wives of landowners, occupiers of property with annual rents over 5 pounds, or graduates of British Universities. It would take another 10 years until laws were passed extending voting rights to all women over the age of 21.
At times the fight for suffrage was brutal and bloody, including the events of Black Friday, November 18, 1910, in which a peaceful march to Parliment turned deadly when police and male bystanders attacked the women and beat and sexually assulted many of them. Clashes with police became common and over 1,000 British women were arrested and many were kept in extremely poor conditions and often force-fed during hunger strikes. Their tactics would be adopted by the American suffrage movement and used by them to gain the right to vote with the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution on August 18, 1920. They fought for their rights, and for mine.

He’d woken her just before dawn with warm hands and soft kisses and then scooped her out of bed and dragged her out the back door and through the dunes to the ocean’s edge. The sky turned orange and then pink and then purple. The rays of the sun burst through and he lifted her hand still wrapped in his to his lift and kissed it gently. Then he slipped on a band of diamonds and they sparkled like a promise in the first light of day.

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

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

$ 1,190.00
Lost in history, bound in myth. That’s what I always think when come across very old things like this fantastic carved bloodstone intaglio seal.

Then again, you might have noticed that I’m never adverse to making up their stories for myself.
This stately Georgian 18k gold fob was handcrafted in England around 1810. It’s intaglio, carved in the finest deep green and red flecked bloodstone, is an armorial seal that bears a coat of arms showing a shield adorned with three shells and topped by a helm and wing motif, all surrounded by sinuous vines and leaves.

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