Victorian Diamond Ruby Pearl Playing Kittens Brooch 15k Gold Silver Set
$ 2,550.00
If you feel that life is getting you down, I highly recommend kittens. Watching them play and frolic, their sheer joy in discovering the simplest of things, a fly, their own reflection in dark glass, the way they pick up a little stuffed mouse and parade around like the Queen of Sheba. Yup, when life gives you lemons, you could make lemonade, but I really recommend that you get a kitten instead, it will last a lot longer and give you a lot more joy!
These two kittens are trapped for all time in their perfect little kitten poses, both investigating a ball, one sits inquisitively and the other is ready to pounce, you can almost see his little kitten butt waggling in the air as he digs in for purchase! This fabulous brooch is hand crafted in 15 karat gold and the rose cut diamonds and ruby eyes are set in silver. The ball is represented by a glimmering white pearl. This wonderful brooch was hand crafted in England in about 1900, it is 18.5 mm high and 45 mm long and weighs 5.4 grams. It’s not marked and has been acid tested for purity.

Victorian Blue Enamel Pearl Ring 15k Gold
$ 1,550.00
This beautiful ring reminds of portraits from the Renaissance of beautiful ladies with pearls and velvet ribbons netted through their bound up hair. The three swirling rows of creamy white pearls are separated by a bright twist of blue enamel in what certainly started life as a memorial ring. This ring would have had a locket on the inside, most likely containing a lock of hair, but it’s been covered up with a piece of gold, probably quite a long time ago.
This fantastic hand crafted ring dates to about 1850, and is done in 15 karat gold. The enamel is in lovely condition and all the pearls appear to be well matched and original. The ring is a size 5.75 and measures 6.3 mm north to south and 20 mm across at the face, it sits 3.5 mm off the finger and narrows to 2.7 mm at the back of the band. Care should be taken when wearing this (or any) enamel ring, try not to get it too wet and avoid extreme temperature variations (no doing dishes in this one!). This ring is unmarked but has been acid tested for purity, it weighs 3. 5 grams.

Victorian Cameo Brooch 18k Gold Persephone and Hades
$ 1,880.00
Perhaps she is Persephone, being swooped up by Hades on his golden chariot? Are those four immortal, sable back horses pulling them along? Alas, poor Persephone, her beauty was her undoing, when Hades saw her picking flowers in Sicily, he was so overwhelmed by her that he abducted her and drug her down into the underworld. Fear not, though, Persephone thrived in Hell and co-ruled over it with Hades by her side.
This fantastic classical cameo is just the kind of mythological scene that Italian carvers were perfecting when this beauty was done in the mid-1800s. A traveler visiting these lands most likely brought this came home with him to England and had it set into this lovely 18 karat gold frame so that it could be worn as a brooch. This large brooch is sure to garner interest every time it’s worn, a true conversation starter and a true work of wearable art.
The brooch measures 48.7 mm north to south and 57.8 mm across, it’s 10.9 mm deep. The carved shell is beautifully detailed, I just loved the action captured in the legs of the horses! This brooch is marked with ’18ct’, I think it was made in England in about 1870-80, it weighs 16.8 grams. The cameo is in wonderful condition with no signs of cracks or crazing.

Vintage Jade Fish Pendant Silver Top
$ 280.00
Sometimes when I’m shopping, something just catches my eye, so I buy it! Aren’t we all like that? This little guy was one of those things. I found him in a stall with other assorted bits and bobs of old jewelry. I don’t honestly know all that much about his. He’s vintage, surely, and he’s some sort of Jade. Carved with lovely fishes and scrolling lines. I haven’t cleaned him much because I’m not too sure about that either, he’s not my usual sort of thing but I’m a Pisces, so maybe I was ensnared by his fishy charms?
Someone has put on a new, sterling silver, bale, but I imagine that it was originally worn on a cord which was strung through the stone. This fully hand crafted pendant measures 33 mm across and 46 mm from top to bottom and weighs 22.7 grams.

Stunning Silver Enameled Murrle Bennett Necklace
$ 2,450.00
Every time I'm in London I try and sneak a couple of hours to myself to visit Liberty's of London on Regent Street in the West End. This last trip, however, I just didn't have the time to head over to Liberty. I'd promised my husband some of this special Chocolate he likes and decided to spend my spare moments shopping for him. When I exited the chocolate shop on New Bond Street, I accidentally went right instead of left and got a bit turned around. Imagine my delight when I popped out right across the street from Liberty's! If fate tells you to go look at Arts & Crafts jewelry, you simply must listen so I popped in and headed to the top floor, where they keep a room that’s an ode to Liberty’s past, filled with Arts and Crafts furniture, objects and jewels.
This is the kind of jewelry that I personally love to wear. Murrle, Bennett and Company is one of my favorite designers, I find their Arts and Crafts style is a delight to my senses. The clean lines, the smooth and bright colors, the weighty feel and fantastic details, all speak to the designer in my soul.
This necklace was lovingly handcrafted in fine silver and features a central plaque and matching drop that are enameled in bright blue and green enamel. The pendant was made by the famed Murrle, Bennet and Company, an Anglo-German firm started by Ernst Murrle and JB Bennett, which produced pieces for retail by the very store I stood in, 'Liberty and Co.', famous London Arts and Crafts dealers. The company was in existence from 1886-1914, this pendant was most likely made around 1900. It is marked on the back with the Murrle Bennett and Co mark and with a 950 stamp indicating the purity of the silver as fine silver. The necklace measures 16.75 inches around the neck, the pendant drop is 53.7 mm long and 14.4 mm across at the widest point, it weighs 13.5 grams.
I come across Murrle Bennett pieces fairly often, but this original necklace was a very rare find, indeed, the chain and plaques pendant are all original to the necklace and it has that very solid feel of only the best quality of Murrle Bennett items.

18k Rose and White Gold Bow Earrings Vintage 1950s
$ 780.00

These lovely earrings were hand crafted in the 1950s, most likely in France where I found them. The bows are 18 karat yellow gold kissed with rose and the centers are white gold. The earrings measure 19.6 x 18.3 mm are 14.7 mm from the front to the end of the post, together they weigh 3.1 grams. These lovely earrings are unmarked but test as 18 karat gold.

Victorian Intricate Link Chain Rose Gold
$ 1,850.00
It’s a beautifully tailored suit, it’s a body skimming little black dress, it’s a perfect pair of jeans. A chain like this one is the staple of a jewelry wardrobe, it’s as versatile as it is beautiful, wear it long and open, loop it twice around, or go end to end, hang a bauble or locket from it, can’t go wrong with a watch fob or three. Layered or alone, this is a jewel that promises not to spend very much time in your jewel box, it’ll live life on your lovely neck.
This hand crafted long guard watch chain would have originally held a ladies pocket watch tucked into a waist band. This chain has an amazingly detailed series of links and a lot more panache than your ordinary link. The chain is 31.5 inches long and is marked ’375’ for 9 karat gold which bears a rosy hue, it weighs 16.8 grams. Made in England in about 1870, this is a thinner style hand crafted chain, as such it would not be wise to hang a heavy pendant off of the chain, but you can use the clasp end for this.

Antique Large Cabochon Garnet Seed Pearl Brooch Pin
$ 750.00
I sometimes have the jewelry buyers version of eyes that are bigger than my stomach! I bought this fantastic brooch because I fell in love with the juicy, large garnet gem that is the star of this show.

So, here it is, in its original form, a lovely, rich and beautiful brooch!
This Antique brooch is hand crafted in sterling silver and set with a huge, foil backed garnet. The garnet is ringed in a halo of 39 small creamy, white pearls.

Antique Arts and Crafts Silver Moonstone Pendant
$ 450.00
Do you see it? That glow? To be honest, it’s not really the moon caught inside a gem, it just looks that way. In reality, it is called Adularescence, a phenomenon that occurs when light falls between the thin, flat, alternating layers of the two minerals which combine in nature to become Moonstone. When Orthoclase and Albite meet and intermingle something magical happens. In the heat and pressure of the earth, they become one, but as they cool, the newly formed stone separates into very thin stacked and alternating layers. When light passes across these layers, it creates the appearance of a glow moving through the stone. You see, moonstones are not only beautiful, they are one of the many fascinating gifts of the natural world!
This wonderful hand crafted sterling silver and moonstone pendant was made in the Arts and Crafts era, most likely in England, which is where I found it. The moonstones against white are rather clear, but put them in front of a darker background and BOOM! That adularescence doesn’t shy away from being seen. This pendant measures 46 mm from top to bottom and 24.6 mm across and weighs 3.7 grams. It is unmarked but tests as sterling.

Victorian Natural Sapphire Ring 5 Stone 18k Gold
$ 2,150.00
There are so many blues in the world. What’s your favorite? Is it the water just off Shell Beach on a sunny day? Is it the bright clear sky over the Rocky Mountains? Do you like it a gray-blue like an angry ocean or a pale turquoise like the egg of a Robin? I personally like them all, but when it comes to sapphires, give me cobalt, give me the saturation of a moonless desert sky at night, rich and bright and unending blue as far as the eye can see.
This ring is like that, it has that blue, that desert sky at night kind of blue. It’s a simple yet stunning classic of a ring, set with five glowing old cut Sapphires which graduate in size from a center stone of .55 carats down to end stones of .28, altogether the sapphire add up to about 1.85 carats in total. These natural stones have a rich and subtle beauty that is enhanced by a lovely 18 karat gold mount. This ring was hand crafted, probably in England, in about 1890, it has no marks but has been carefully acid tested, it has traces of having been plated, I think with Rhodium, the settings appears a bit white and there is a bit of the Rhodium still in the swirling designs at the shoulders. I like it, gives it a bit of a two-tone look.
The ring measures 6.1 mm north to south and 20 mm across and sits 4 mm off the hand, it narrows to 1.5 mm at the back of the band. This Victorian beauty is a size 8 and weighs 5 grams.

Victorian Gold Engraved Link Bracelet with Heart Lock
$ 1,850.00
It was their third date, and the first one unchaperoned. He was just back from Europe and she’d been fretting the whole while that he’d fall in love with some Parisian Belle, but he’d come to visit on his very first day home; hand delivering the invite to dinner. She’d seen instantly in his eyes that his admiration for her had only grown and her heart leapt with joy at the sight of him.
She wore green velvet as deep as the forest and he picked her up in tails and a top hat, helped her into a carriage and they were off to the Opera; they would have their own box, something she’d never done before. They rattled through the London streets and upon landing from one rather ferocious bump, they touched fingers. She felt a thrill as his hand closed around hers, even though both were gloved. He looked into her eyes as he slipped the golden bracelet on her wrist, she looked down, surprised by his stealth, as he closed the little heart lock and brought the back of her hand to his lips for a kiss. She memorized every second, every note of the whole evening, a story to tell their grand-daughter one day, when she slipped this bracelet onto the next wrist to wear it.
This wonderful, dressed up, example of a gold curb bracelet has intricately engraved links, each hand fabricated and decorated, the alternating links are faceted to show off a bit of sparkle with every move of your wrist. The bracelet is fully hand crafted in 9 karat gold and is 8.5 inches long, it’s 21.3 grams the larger links measure 10.9x16.6 mm each. The lock closure is marked with ‘9ct’ for the gold purity and the lock closes with a nice little snap. It has an extra bit of fine gold chain which acts as a safety and makes the bracelet easier to get on and off.
Hand crafted in England in about 1900, this wonderful bracelet has a hefty look, a buttery feel, and would be equally suitable worn by a woman or a man.

Then there were the scarabs. Scarab beetles, sacred symbols of the Egyptian god, Khepri, who was said to push the sun across the sky, littered the tombs.

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.
This wonderful wide wedding band ring, sometimes called a cigar band ring for obvious reasons, was made in England in about 1900 of 15 karat gold. The ring is not really able to be resized and comes it at a hair over a size 8.75, due to its width it may fit a bit smaller.

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.

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.

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.

Edwardian Moonstone Diamond Platinum Ring Dome
$ 4,850.00
I love Saturday’s in France. We take a train out of Paris to the wonderful city of Reims, the capital of the Champagne region in France. At a quaint house almost in the country we visit with a dealer who we’ve been buying from long enough that she’s now a good friend. She and her daughter make us wonderful meals and serve us the best wine and bubbly and we spend the day with them, laughing and catching up and, of course, looking at fabulous jewels. This ring reminds me a bit of the yummy champagne we drink, the array of rose cut diamonds sparkling like the bubbles in my glass.
This Art Deco era French ring is set with 56 rose cut diamonds and one fabulous high dome of moonstone.

The fabulous blue moonstone is cabochon cut and measures 6.1x6.1x4.3 mm and weighs approximately 1.15 carats.

Victorian Aesthetic Movement Silver Bangle Bracelet Green Pink Gold Accents
$ 890.00
Art for Arts Sake. This was the driving idea of the Aesthetic Movement in Britain which led artist to create some of the most beautiful artwork of the western world in the years between 1860 and 1900. The idea was that things did not need have a deeper meaning to be made in a way that was pleasing to the senses, that it was okay for an object which was useful to also be beautiful, simply for the sake of beauty. It is an idea which we still hold to this day. The simple lines and motifs of Japanese art were particularly appealing to the Aesthetic artists and these motifs feature prominently in many of the designs of this era, this bangle among them.
Simple branches of cherry blossoms grace the front of this wide silver cuff bangle. The leaves are done in a greenish gold overlay and the blooms in pink gold, it also has a wonderful egg and dart like scalloped edge. This bangle is inscribed to the reverse with “To Mary, 17th Jan(uar)y. 1883.” and the inscription is bordered in a similar manner to the front engraving, making me think that this piece was likely made custom by the jeweler and inscribed by him as well, so probably it was made just before this date in 1882-3. This wonderful bangle measures 25 mm wide from top to bottom and would fit a wrist of 6.5 inches or less; it weighs 37.5 grams. Made in England of Sterling Silver.

15k and 9k Three Fobs and Split Ring White Chalcedony and Carnelian Carved
$ 2,580.00
Lost in history, bound in myth. That’s what I always think when come across very old things like this fantastic ring of three carved intaglio seals. 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 fantastic pendant contains a 9 karat gold split ring which holds three fobs. The largest of the three fobs is in 15 karat gold and shows a the initial I or J in a belted garter, a sword through the garter has a fist at the end holding a spear which drips with blood! The two smaller seals are in 9 karat gold and the orange carnelian one shows a Lyre with the phrase “All’s Well” while the other has the scripted words ‘Ricordate Di Me’ or ‘Remember Me’, done in chalcedony. These three fobs have likely lived together on this ring for many decades, they were made around 1830 in the Georgian era and the largest measures 40 mm high, 30 mm wide and 18.5 mm across; the pendant weighs 21.1 grams altogether.

Victorian Carnelian Intaglio Ring Lion Rampant
$ 1,750.00
This ring has swagger. Yeah, you heard me, swagger. What’s that, you ask? Well, confidence, perhaps even a bit arrogance; it’s mostly in the hips.
This large and lovely ring is set with a deeply carved intaglio of a lion rampant in a crown done in rich, orange carnelian. I believe that this intaglio predates this wonderful ring by quite a lot, probably the stone dates to about 1870, it’s difficult to say when it was set into this ring, I purchased it this way and it shows definite signs of wear, so it’s been here awhile. This large ring measures 23.8 mm from north to south at the face and is 20.5 mm across, it sits 4.1 mm off the finger and narrows to 2.3 mm at the back of the band. This size 7.5 ring weighs 7.2 grams. This unmarked ring tests as 15 karat gold.

Art Deco Old European Cut Diamond Engagement Ring in Platinum
$ 5,980.00
"Will you?" he said, holding out the little box.
"Yes," she replied, holding out her hand. He slipped it onto her finger.
Perfect.
Old cut diamonds can be dangerous. The more of them you see, the more of them you desire to own. Whereas modern brilliant cut diamonds can be nice and sparkly, old European cuts like this one are more like individual works of art. Hand cut by master craftsmen who spent decades honing their skills; these cutters used no computers, no lasers, they used their eyes, their experience and their hands, often cutting with tools they had made themselves. The result is a diamond with a uniqueness of character that simply cannot be found in todays modern cut stones. This European ring was made in about 1930 and showcases the simplicity of the Edwardian style anchored firmly by an Old European cushion cut diamond with large cut facets that cause it to flash with slow and stunning sparks of colorful fire.
Hand crafted of platinum, this fantastic Engagement ring holds a chunky diamond which measures 6.3x6.3x5.2 mm and weighs about .880 carats, it is a very lively stone, about an F/G color Si1 diamond. The face of the ring measures 6.6 mm north to south and it sits 5.2 mm off the finger. The center stone is accented by 3 small diamonds on either side. This ring is marked ‘Plat’ for platinum and has a makers mark of ’SB&Sn’, the ring is inscribed with ’T.B.H-M.M.G 16-2-36’. This size 8 ring weighs 3.7 grams.
This instant heirloom of a ring is just waiting to be part of a story that will last a lifetime, and then some.

Angry Bobby English Policeman Charm Silver Pendant
$ 220.00
Before 1829 there was no police force in London, or really anywhere for that matter. When the then British home minister, Sir Robert Peel, organized the London Metropolitan Police (headquartered on a street named… you guessed it, Scotland Yard) he dressed them in black coats and tall black wool hats with shiny badges. These hats became iconic and the London police force was so closely associated with Robert Peel that those who wore these hats got the nickname of ‘Bobbies’.
I found this particular little Bobby to be utterly irresistible. He looks a bit grumpy, really, under his iconic hat, but this just makes him all the more appealing. The wonderful Victorian charm is done in silver, it’s a small thing, just 21.2 mm from top to bottom including the bale and 16.1 mm across at the widest point. This pendant is unmarked but has been carefully acid tested. It weighs 1.6 grams. Made in England around 1880.

Victorian 5 Stone Diamond Ring 18k Gold
$ 660.00
It's all in the odd numbers, I guess. Those Victorians just loved their 3, 5 and 7 stone rings. Here is a wonderful example of a five stone ring, which was often referred to as a 'half hoop' ring or sometimes a "boat" ring because of the tapering shape. Crafted from warm 18 karat gold with beautifully hand engraved shoulders, done all in diamonds full of sparkle and fire, it is a glowing example of this type of ring!
Hand crafted in about 1890-1900, this ring was originally fully hallmarked, but while still partially visible, the remaining marks are too worn to read and some have been sized out altogether at some point. It does have a more modern 18 karat gold mark, likely from when the ring was re-sized, but it has been professionally acid tested for metal purity. The stones are all original and beautifully matched. I would confidently estimate the weight of the stones at about .25 carats in total. The ring measures 16.6 mm east to west and 6 mm north to south, sits 3.4 mm off the finger and weighs 3.3 grams. Currently it is a size 6.25 US, but it could be easily be re-sized up or down a bit.
This wonderful and sparkly Victorian diamond 5 stone ring would play nicely in a stack, and would certainly make a lovely wedding ring or anniversary band. When I have it on my finger, I find it simply impossible to take my eyes off of it!

Vintage Norman Grant Enamel Necklace Silver Custom
$ 1,450.00
The internet is a wonderful thing. Even though my niece and nephew laugh at me when I tell them that I’m older than Google, it’s true. Very true. I remember a time when we weren’t so connected, when looking something up meant that you went and found the right letter volume of the Encyclopedia Brittanica. Now days googling is a verb and we can connect to anyone, anywhere, anytime.
This was brought home to me in my early days of online sales when I posted a photo on a very early Facebook page of a piece of jewelry by one of my favorite artists, Norman Grant. It hadn’t been up for long when I got a message, it was from Norman’s son. He was sitting in a pub with his dad and the post came up and he showed it to Norman who was delighted to see it. It was such a lovely connection. Mr. Grant died a few years ago and I was so sad to hear it, but his wonderful jewelry lives on.
Even though some of Norman Grant’s jewelry was a bit mass produced this particular necklace appears to be a one-off and it shows in the quality, it’s a nice weighty piece with great attention to details. the colors are lovely, all pinks and purples and it has a bit of an asian twist to the design. It’s hallmarked for Edinburgh and was made in 1972, it has the NG for Norman Grant.
This lovely necklace was hand crafted in sterling silver and enamel. The chain is 23 inches long and the drop measures 63 mm from top to bottom and 36.8 mm across at the widest point. This necklace weighs 14 grams. The metal screw style clasp is original to many of Grant’s pieces, although these days it has often been replaced with a silver ring clap, it’s nice to have the original clasp.
A lovely and contemporary feeling vintage necklace by the truly lovely Norman Grant.

Victorian Memorial Hair Buckle Ring 15k Gold
$ 620.00
This antique Victorian buckle memorial ring was handcrafted in England in 1895. It begins at the top as a beautifully engraved 15 karat gold band with a traditional buckle motif that in turn is accented with delicately hand engraved braided hair motif. This transitions seamlessly into a band inset with an intricately woven braid of hair, showing off the spectacular skill and craftsmanship the Victorians dedicated to honoring those who had passed on before them. It has been fully hallmarked as it bears a maker's mark of "SP&Co.", the gold purity marks of ".625" and “15” for 15 karat gold, the anchor mark for Birmingham, and the date letter “V” for 1895. This ring weighs 1.5 grams and is a size 5.25. The ring width is 4.2 mm all the way around the ring and it sits 1 mm off the finger.
Versatile, historical, and everything a woman of discerning taste needs on her finger!
A note from Victoria: While this is a ring which could certainly be worn, care should be taken to keep it dry to protect the inlaid woven hair in the band.

Art Deco Enamel Silver Locket Pendant Lavendar White
$ 630.00
Enameling, in some form or another, has been around since the 13th century BC. It took a long time to perfect it, though, some form of metal had to be used with early enamel, to hold each color distinctly apart from its neighbor (interesting note, these little metal bars were called cloisons, hence one name for this type of enameling is cloisonné). In the 15th century the technique of painted enamel was perfected and suddenly the cloisons were gone and wonderful, rich details could be gleaned from this once mosaic-like art form.
This Art Deco locket was hand crafted around 1920. It’s done all in silver and then machine turned to produce an overall engraved pattern, then the locket was fired with a rich opaque white enamel and a fluid lavender enamel which is translucent, giving it a look of constant movement. The shape, the concentric circles, the depth of the enamel covered engraving, all combine to make this a very dynamic piece. The face of this locket measures 37.3 mm from the top of the bale and 28 mm across, it’s 5.4 mm thick. This one opens easily and closes with a nice little snap; it weighs 8.1 grams.
