Antique Art Deco Ruby Platinum Eternity Band Wedding Ring
Sold Out - $ 1,750.00
Sometimes I forget that no small part of what I deal in are the gems that make up the jewels that I sell. I get caught up in the artistry of the jeweler, in the age or the sentimentality and I forget about the gems, the pure, rich, made by the earth, gems that are so often the stars of these jewelry shows. Diamonds might be a girls best friend, but rubies are a corundum kissed by fire, a stone with so much inner beauty you can almost feel the heat.
Hand crafted in the Art Deco era, this fantastic antique ring is made in platinum and channel set with an unending loop of square cut rubies. There are 28 rubies in all, each about .080 carats, about 2 carats in total weight. The ring is just a hair bigger than a size 7.25, it measures 3.5 mm from north to south and sits 2.5 mm off the finger and weighs 3.9 grams.
As a wedding band, a stacking band, a gift of love from a lover or from yourself, this ring will never go wrong.

Victorian Engraved Gold Locket Shield Heart
Sold Out - $ 620.00
He sailed away, out to sea and into the dark green waters and the unknown beyond, and it stung his heart to see her there, on the shore, waving goodbye, no knowing but hoping it was just for now. This time though he had left her a present at home to remind her that he would never not be thinking of her.
He knew she would walk home, slowly, stopping in the market for cheeses and warm crusty breads. She would sit on her couch and reach for her book on the table where she would find a box. And in that box she would discover a locket that he bought weeks ago, waiting for just the right moment to gift it. Then he thought better.
He laughed to himself that night, picturing her running to her friend’s house to tell her all about it. He slept well knowing that he and she would never part, even with the distance.
Loaded with the romantic symbolism of the times, this Victorian shield shaped locket was handcrafted in 9 karat gold and engraved on both sides with an abundant floral motif, surrounding an elegant, elongated heart on the front. It is unmarked but has been professionally acid tested for content, testing as 9k gold, and was made in England around 1890. It weighs 4.5 grams and measures 33.6 x 19.8 x 5.6 mm.
This lovely locket would certainly make the perfect surprise gift for the one you would never be parted from!

Reserved~Antique Arts & Crafts Enamel Silver Earrings
Sold Out - $ 341.00 $ 440.00
In 1861, the decorative arts firm of Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. was opened at No. 8 Red Lion Square in London and the Arts & Crafts movement was truly born. The firm, which at first created only fabrics, carpets, carved wood and stained glass, eventually expanded into all reaches of the decorative arts including jewelry. Other Arts & Crafts firms followed, notably with Liberty & Co. opening in 1874 on Regent Street, and by 1880 the Arts & Crafts movement was in full swing.
Made in England around 1900, these exceptional earrings are a wonderful example of the kind of jewelry that came out of the Art & Crafts era. Stunningly beautiful in their simplicity, these silver beauties are highlighted with blue and green shades of enamel. They are a lovely pair which measure 24 mm from top to bottom and 9.4 mm across. They are unmarked and together they weigh 3.2 grams.

Reserved ~ Martin Mayer Jungendstil Silver Slide Locket Poppies
Sold Out - $ 950.00 $ 1,160.00
On their first date he took her to Longwood Gardens in the gorgeous Brandywine Valley. It was winter and she wondered at his idea to go to a garden in the cold; but when she walked into the immense Victorian Conservatory she was awestruck by the beauty of the building and the slice of summertime held within. She loved all the flowers and trees, the cacti and orchids but she became completely enamored of the blue poppies that grew along the edges of the walkways under the grand glass roof.
This fantastic silver slide locket by the famed Martin Mayer features a wonderful design of poppy flowers which flows around onto both sides of the locket. The poppies are so realistic, they seem to jump off the locket. Set with two mirrors, this Jungendstil locket was hand crafted around 1900-1910 in Germany, it is marked on the bale. The locket is 61 mm from top to bottom and 36 mm across and weighs 15.5 grams. It is marked for 800 silver.

Antique French Trefoil 3 Diamond Ring 18k White Gold
Sold Out - $ 5,200.00
Snow doesn’t fall in London very often, but it was falling when I bought this ring. I was considering it, there on my finger, sparkling away in the dim light coming through the window. My eyes couldn’t decide which was better, the diamonds sparkling on my finger or the lovely snow falling on a beautiful Georgian building across the street. I held my finger up in front of my face so that I could see both together. It was then that I noticed the little trefoil shaped window at the top of the turret shaped room of that Georgian stone building. The shape of the ring, the shape of the window, the glowing holiday lights and streetlights haloed in the snow. It seemed meant to be, so I left the ring on, wore it out into the snow and brought it home. For you.
This fantastic ring is French in origin, although I bought it in London. It’s simple and yet so unusual and extraordinary. The diamonds sit, not at the center of the finger, but off to the side, like a simple flower wrapped around your finger. The three diamond are fabulously fiery, the center stone measures 5.4x5.4x4mm and weighs approximately .75 carats, the others are about .32 carats each, one is an Old Euro and the other is a transitional cut; the diamonds add up to 1.4 carats total weighs. The face of this ring measures 12.7 mm north to south and 13 mm across, it sits 7.1 mm off the finger and narrows to 3.3 mm at the back of the band. This 18 karat white gold ring is hallmarked to the back of the band with the French Eagles head mark for 18k gold and a makers mark. This ring is beautifully crafted, it’s a size 8 and weighs 5.3 grams.
This would make an excellent and unusual engagement ring.

Edwardian 5 Stone Amethyst Ring 9k Gold
Sold Out - $ 680.00
One of the hidden truths about this profession that I am in is how kind and generous the people who buy and sell antique jewelry tend to be. I don't know why this is, but I am truly thankful for it every day, my customers, suppliers, contacts, they are all the sweetest people and many have become like family to me over the years. The reason that I mention this in this listing of this particular ring is that I purchased this ring while standing at the booth of a friend/supplier on Portobello Road. A man came up to her and had some items that he was looking to sell and my sweet friend gave me first dibs on everything that he had (in exchange I held her baby while she sold some cufflinks to her Japanese clients, using a calculator to overcome the language barrier, seems like I made out on both fronts!).
This gorgeous 5 stone amethyst ring is a rarity, I don’t often find this style of ring set with Amethysts and this one is a lovely, sparkling example. Five oval faceted amethyst make up the face of this ring, they graduated in size from 7.1x5.2 down to 3.4 x 3, they are closed backed so I can’t get a true depth or estimated carat weight for them. This ring is a little bit of an anomaly in that it has a full set of hallmarks for having been made in Birmingham, England of 9 carat gold, the date mark is worn, it might be an a for 1900 or a d for 1903, but both of these seem too late of a date for this ring, so it’s possible that I’m reading the mark wrong or that it was re-shanked and re-hallmarked. The ring measures 8 mm north to south and 18.4 mm across, it sits 3.8 mm off the finger and narrows to 1.8 mm and it weighs 1.4 grams. This ring is a size 8.25 and would be difficult to resize by more than a size or two.

Edwardian Peridot Pearl and Amethyst Gold Pendant Suffragette Colors
Sold Out - $ 1,050.00
Anyone who knows just a little bit about Suffragette jewelry will tell you that there is a lot of debate as to wether or not it even existed outside of a few rare examples. I'm not here to argue the point, if you'd like I'd be happy to send you many links supporting both sides. The truth of it, as far as I can tell, is that 'The Women's Social and Political Union' in England was a group of courageous and strong women who stood up as one and demanded to be counted. The colors of the flags they waved and the buttons they wore were purple to symbolize the instinctual need in all of us for freedom and dignity, white to symbolize purity, and green, symbolic of hope and the color of Spring and new life.
Of course any large social and political movement has an inevitable effect on fashion and so these colors did become quite fashionable at the time and many an Edwardian lady could be found decked out in the somewhat odd combination of green, white and purple. It follows, then, that Edwardian jewelry began to be made in these colors as well. Whether this lovely pendant was made to symbolize the Suffrage Movement or simply made in the colors of the time we will never know, is it the chicken or the egg? Was it subversive? Probably not. More likely it had to do with an outward expression of camaraderie, of hope and the longing for a brighter future, something many of us can relate to today.
This fantastic Edwardian pendant has great Art Nouveau lines and styling; it was hand crafted in 9 karat gold in England in about 1900-1910. This beautiful piece is set with a bright and glowing oval faceted peridot at it’s center, the stone measures 6.7x5.2x3.1 mm and weighs about .75 carats. Surrounding the peridot are 30 creamy white pearls which vary in size from 1.3 to 2.3 mm and a teardrop of Amethyst hangs from the bottom, about .4 carats of rich, violet beauty. This pendant measures 44.4 mm from north to south and 28.6 mm across, it is marked with ‘9’ for 9 karat gold and it weighs 3.2 grams.

French Moonstone Brown Pearl Cluster Ring
$ 1,000.00
This ring was a bit of a mystery, but I think I’ve got it solved! It’s a beauty, set in the center with a 1 carat bright moonstone with great adularescence and a lovely blue hue; around the cabochon center stone are set with 8 pearls in shades of brown and gray, they are 2.7 mm in diameter. The top of this ring is made in 18 karat gold and the split shank is in 14 karat gold. I believe that this ring started life off as something else, most likely a stick pin or part of a brooch, made in about 1880, but it has been more recently made over as a ring. The ring is lovely and well made, it measures 11 mm north to south and 11 mm across, it sits 8 mm off the finger and narrows to 3 mm at the back of the band. This ring is a size 5.5 and weighs 5 grams. It’s marked with the French export mark of the shell and has been carefully acid tested.

Georgian Carnelian Gold Fob Seal Pendant with Gold Split Ring
Sold Out - $ 1,200.00
I like to imagine that a well-to-do gentleman used one side of this fob seal to mark secret love letters and clandestine messages, while the other side was used for transparent business affairs.

This antique Georgian gold fob was handcrafted in England, around 1820. It’s a beautiful example with the addition of a wonderful gold split ring at the top. It is set with a wonderfully carved carnelian stone which features a family crest with the motto ‘In Ardua Virtus’ which is Latin for ‘Virtue in the Face of Difficulties’. The fob is completely hand crafted with exquisite attention to detail and it measures 48 mm top to bottom including the split ring and 23.8 mm across from north to south, the stone itself measures 19.4 x 18.3 mm.

Sold Out - $ 1,010.00 $ 1,200.00
She came into the shop in a rush; she needed a cold bottle of good champagne to take for the hostess of a small dinner she was attending. She wore a simple linen shift in a color somewhere between violet and deep purple and big earrings along with the most fascinating long chain looped expertly and effortlessly around her neck. She chatted with her friend who owned the wonderful little shop while the lovely woman wrapped the bottle with a flourish.
“We should get together and drink one of these soon” her friend said. “We just need an occasion to celebrate.”
“Maria,” she responded, “a good bottle of champagne is its own reason!”.
This fabulous chain was hand crafted around 1890, most likely in England. It features 84 small and intricate purple enameled panels interspersed on a silver long guard chain. It most likely would originally have held a matching purple enameled watch. The chain is 61 inches long and weighs 18 grams. This wonderful piece is unmarked and tests as sterling silver.

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.
This antique Edwardian ring was handcrafted in England around 1910. It showcases a lively display of three opals patterned with four diamonds set in 18 karat gold. Each of the opals are cabochon cut, with the center stone measuring 5.3 x 4.3 x 1.5 mm. The diamonds are each rose cuts and measure about 1 mm in diameter. The ring face measures 7.6 x 16 x 3.5 mm off the finger and the band with is 1.7 mm at the back. It weighs 2.4 grams and is a size 6.75.

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.

I was caught singing ‘500 miles’ by my upstairs neighbor. Apparently, I forgot to close my flat door all the way. It would have been slightly less embarrassing if I hadn’t just thrown on a combination of sweat pants, stilettos, Art Nouveau jewelry and a winter hat. I was going for the ‘no one is looking’ look. He found me in the middle of the chorus, just as I reached the top of my lungs, and he knocked on the door. I almost dropped the bowl of pasta I was working on. He laughed for a while, until he offered to bring over a bottle of wine so we could enjoy dinner together. I accepted, and quickly changed my outfit-keeping this pendant and the shoes.

Sold Out - $ 1,275.00 $ 1,500.00
Whenever I’m in London I try to sneak a couple of hours to myself and visit Liberty and Company on Regent Street in the West End. On my last trip I had to sacrifice my ‘me’ time and run a few errands (including a stop at my favorite chocolatier) on New Bond Street.

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.

Reserved~Large Antique Irish Plaid Pin Brooch Blue Enamel Celtic Motif
Sold Out - $ 490.00 $ 590.00
The idea of plait work, intricately woven lines, in knot design began in Italy and southern Gaul, which spread to Ireland by the 7th Century AD. These knot designs can be traced back to the 3rd Century BC, where they were used on Ancient Roman floor mosaics. Historians believe that there is likely little meaning to them at all. But with time and culture, symbolism has been placed. These designs are made up of lines without a beginning or an end, representing eternity and typically surrounded around the subjects of love, friendship, loyalty, and unbreakable barriers.
This antique Irish blue enamel Celtic brooch pin was handcrafted around 1850. It was made in silver, most likely in Ireland. It measures 63.4 mm in circumference. There are no marks and it has been acid tested. This round brooch features three distinct knot designs surrounded by brilliant blue enamel. I believe it may have originally been set in the center with a large cairngorm. This heavy brooch weighs 50.2 grams, it would be excellent to hold a plaid, or on a suit jacket.
The influence of Christianity seeped into the Celtic civilization around 450 AD, after the use of spirals, step patterns and key patterns had been well-established within the culture. Of course, these motifs found their way into early Christian manuscripts, such as the Book of Kells, from 800 AD, which also bore depictions of plants, animals, and people.

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.

She woke up to a rustic, metallic autumn morning. Coffee. It's always time for more coffee. And a good book. Coffee and Hemingway.

Walking her chocolate lab, Minnie. Jumping with her galoshes in crunchy piles of orange and brown leaves. Watching the cloud shapes morph as they pass over the lake. More coffee.

Stunning Antique Edwardian Fire Opal and Diamond Ring
$ 6,850.00
I was reading an article the other day reported on studies done in Finland which show that love and happiness make you physically warm. If that's true, then just think of all the money you'll save on heat with this fabulous Fire Opal on your finger to keep you happy. I freely admit to being just a little bit in love with this fiery beauty. Yup, warm all over!
This Edwardian stunner was hand-crafted in 18 karat gold with diamonds set in sterling silver. The Fire Opal is an oval faceted natural gem which measures 9.7 mm from North to South and 8.2 mm across and is 6 mm deep; its approximate weight is 2 carats. The stone is very clean and clear for a fire opal with some very tiny surface abrasions only visible under magnification. The rich candy-orange kissed with red opal is complemented by its contrasting halo of old European cut diamonds. 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. Made in Europe in about 1910.
Why this ring? Because... baby, it's cold outside!

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 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!

Antique Arts & Crafts Era Peridot Pearl Gold Pendant Necklace
$ 990.00
There is a wonderful woman who stalls out on the street in front of one of the galleries on Portobello Road in London. Her mom helps her to run the stall, they are kind, sweet women with regular day jobs, but they love to buy and sell a few old goodies. She always has a few exquisite lavalieres for me, just like this one.
Hand crafted in England in about 1910 with a distinctive Arts & Crafts design, but with a definite nod it's Edwardian predecessors, this graceful, light and airy 9 karat yellow gold pendant features a central rectangular cut peridot in a bezel mount which allows a lot of light into the stone for extra sparkle. The peridot is framed by an organic motif, set with three creamy white pearls, while a smaller octagonal shaped, bezel set peridot hangs from the bottom, perfectly balancing the overall drop shaped motif. The pendant measures 43mm x 23.5mm x 2.5mm. The pendant weighs 3.2 grams, is marked 'IX' for 9k (tested) and also bears the maker's mark 'D & F'.

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!

Georgian Intaglio Seal Fob Pendant 18k Gold Bloodstone
$ 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. It makes me a little bit melancholy to think of what stories they could tell, stories that I will never know. 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. This fabulous fob measures 23.8 x 17.5 x 20.5 mm with the oval bloodstone measuring 19mm x 15.8mm. It is unmarked but has been professionally acid tested as 18k gold, and it weighs 17.1 grams.
This handsome, centuries old bauble is rich with stories of old and those yet to be told, and would work wonderfully on a simple chain around the neck. It could also function charmingly as a watch fob still, should you be so inclined.
