She was at the edge of her porch watching as couples walked by, with their hot lattes in hand, while the crisp autumn leaves flutter down from tree branches. She tugged at her pendant with the pumpkin colored stone that dangled from her neck, and made a mental note to call her mom later, just because. That scent of apple cider and sugar was beginning to blanket the ground, and she pulled her wool sweater a little tighter as the wind brushed past her cheeks.

Gladys and Charles Mumford were a highly skilled husband and wife duo who created jewelry in the British Arts and Crafts spirit. They started in Coventry, working for Winifred King and Mildred Murphy (who traded as W. King & Co). After visiting Falmouth on holiday and falling in love with it, they decided to move and set up a silversmith and retail shop in Falmouth. Rumor has it, they even sold their jewelry aboard Queen Elizabeth II. Gladys was the more accomplished silversmith of two and by 1963 they had both ceased trading. Their works are rarely, if ever, marked, but are very recognizable.

October winds are pulling leaves of rust and gold from the trees and swirling them around me as I walk my long and winding driveway. The overhanging trees click and whistle with the movement, the air is crisp and smells slightly of wood smoke from my own fire.

She enjoys very specific things. Leather seats. Film photography. Fleece blankets. She prefers Rome to Venice and farfalle to orecchiette. She likes silver over gold and pink over, well, everything else. She’s not a contrarian, not at all, just precise. She likes moments like these, when her tastes and the mode of fashion collide. Like with this ring.

Still-life paintings are known for their depictions of motionless objects; their color, texture, form, and composition. They’re paintings that express life, emotion, and most of all - skill. It was the Renaissance that saw the still-life painting as an independent genre, although it has existed since before antiquity. The 16th and 17th centuries saw a rise in popularity with still-life paintings as the middle class grew and placed these masterpieces inside their homes.

This antique Scandinavian Arts and Crafts silver enamel ring was handcrafted around 1910. It’s a colorful ring with an enameled still-life motif of a pitcher with an apple and a pear set in 900 silver on a large amorphous ring face. The ring face measures 32 mm north to south and 22 mm across, it sits 3.9 mm off the finger and the band width is 5.6 mm at the back of the ring. It is a size 7.5 and weighs 10.0 grams. It bears the silver fineness mark, “900” and the maker’s mark, “HUISEN”. 

Henri Matisse was a French artist at the time this ring was made. He created many things such as prints, sculptures, paintings, and more. His renderings of still-life objects took the still-life genre to new levels as he simplified perspective and used multi-colored backgrounds set behind bold flat objects that had been brightly shaded. His paintings reminded me of the image on this ring, with colors as bright as a rainbow and a new take on perspective.

It’s beachwear, honestly. I wouldn’t say it’s traditional beachwear, that’s what yellow polka dot bikinis are for. But I can tell you it looks fabulous around the neck of a woman reading a romance novel as she lays beneath the sunshine, and lets the ever-flowing ocean tickle the ends of her polished toes. When she does get up, it’s because she’s finished the chapter and her only care in the world is where the nearest tiki hut might be. 

This timeless silver gilt and turquoise necklace features 17 inches of beautiful scrolling links patterned with turquoise stones. There are nine turquoise stones in all, polished, boulder style, ranging in size from 6 x 8 x 8 mm to 8 x 10 x 9.4 mm. Each of the large and ornate silver gilt links measures 26.7 x 8.4 x 1.5 mm. This necklace weighs 20.5 grams and has been acid tested. 

Now, I’ll let you in on a little secret. It’s not strictly beach wear. It works in cooler climates, as well, and with a little black dress over dinner; but I do highly recommend the beach.

The Arts & Crafts movement was born out of a rejection to the industrial revolution. Artists felt that the mechanization of creating daily objects detracted from the enjoyment of daily life. Furniture, household items, even jewelry, once made completely by hand, were now being machined and assembly lined, destroying the unique nature of handcrafted goods. Much of the jewelry done in the Arts and Crafts style was done in silver, using gems that were inexpensive and easily sourced, much like this silver and quartz ring. The aesthetic wasn’t a specific style but more of an idea. It called for simple form, clean lines, personal fulfillment, and of course, it was hand-made.

This antique Arts & Crafts silver and pink quartz ring was handcrafted around 1900. This fantastic piece features a pink oval cabochon cut quartz at the center of a silver leaf motif that makes up the setting and the shoulders. The ring face measures 25.4 x 21.3 x 10.5 mm off the finger. Overall, This piece weighs 8.3 grams. This statement ring is a size 7.5 and is marked, “SILVER”.

A ring for your troubles, for your cares, for your favorite outfit, and most certainly for your least favorite outfit.

The Ancient Romans believed that Moonstone was made from the solidified rays of the moon. In actuality it's a variety of Feldspar whose micro-structure causes light diffraction, but I like the Roman's explanation of origin much better! 

During the Arts & Crafts movement, artists and jewelers used semi-precious materials and gems to the most wondrous effect. This lovely example is completely handmade in sterling silver and set with two iridescent blue moonstones, the top one measures 10.9 mm across and 7.5 mm north to south and is 3.5 mm deep, the moonstone in the drop is 9.4 mm long, 5.3 mm wide and 3 mm deep. These cabochon cut stones have a fantastic 'moon' in each one that is brought out when they are worn against the skin. Wonderful Arts and Crafts hammered detailing make this necklace a subtle beauty that promises to go with just about any outfit and garner compliment after compliment. 

While it isn't marked at all, this necklace was most likely made in England around 1900-1910. I snatched it up early one Saturday morning at Portobello Road market, it was so lovely I didn't even have to think about it, what I like to call a 'no brainer'. The necklace is only 13 inches long, so it’s quite short, I’d be happy to have my jeweler add some extra length to it upon request, it has a 1.5 inch long drop. It weighs 4.9 grams. It is unmarked and tests as silver.

This is the kind of jewelry that I personally love to wear. Murrle, Bennett & Co. is one of my favorite designers, their Arts & Crafts style just speaks to my soul. The clean lines, the smooth and bright cabochon turquoise gem, the weighty feel and fantastic details, all speak to the designer in my soul. 

The pendant was lovingly handcrafted in sterling silver and set with a cabochon turquoise which measures 15.3 x 12 x 4.2 mm. 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 store 'Liberty and Co.', famous London Arts and Crafts dealers. The company was in existence from 1886-1914, this pendant was most likely made around 1900-1910.

The overall size is 40.9 mm from the top of the bale to the bottom of the pendant and 26.8 mm across, it weighs 6.7 grams.

If I’m very, very lucky, I get a whole day off in Europe. When it falls in London on a weekday I inevitably find myself at The Tower, ogling the crown jewels. When it falls on the weekend, I avoid the (too crowded for me) Tower and head over to Regent Street to visit the immensely beautiful Tudor shops of Liberty of London. Arthur Lasenby Liberty promoted the work of many Arts & Crafts and Art Nouveau designers and the store still retains some of it’s Arts & Crafts feel. Makes this girl pretty happy to shop and have their Perrier Jouët Afternoon Tea, complete with pastries and clotted cream! 

This mother of pearl and 15 karat gold brooch was created by Murrle Bennett and Co. and could have been hanging out at Liberty and Co. when it was new, around 1910.

Winter’s gloom was lifting and the green of spring was settling in. The days were growing longer and warmer and the sound of birds filled the morning. She was walking, enjoying the cool breeze of the sunrise. Her scarf blew in the wind so she tightened it and fastened it with a brooch of silver and spring colored stones. Her smile was as wide as the horizon before her. She could smell change in the air.

This truly lovely antique Arts and Crafts silver brooch pin with amber and chalcedony was handcrafted around 1910 in Europe. It’s a floral inspired motif with leaves on a vine.

Bernard Instone was a designer and silversmith from Birmingham, England who had a large influence in the later British Arts and Crafts movement. He was born in 1891 and passed in 1987. He was highly regarded and his works remain as sought-after collectables today. He was strongly influenced by nature, like in this floral-inspired piece. His designs can be split into two categories – pieces with enamel, and pieces without. This citrine clip belongs to the latter. He often used semi-precious stones, favoring citrines and amethysts. His work included beautiful silver displays of leaves, flowers, intricate mounts, scrolls, and foliage. 

This gorgeous Edwardian era citrine and silver clip brooch was handcrafted around 1910. It was made in England by the vastly talented Bernard Instone. It features five oval faceted citrines, the center and largest of which measures 10 x 7 x 4.6 mm and weighs approximately 1.71 carats. Overall, this round clip measures 37 x 35 x 10.5 mm and it weighs 10.0 grams. An engraved insurance mark reads, “K43”. It has been acid tested.

At just 12 years of age, Instone won a scholarship to the Birmingham School of Jewellery where he studied under Arthur Gaskin, learned silversmithing, jewelry, and excelled at everything he did. After school, he went on to work with Paul Cooper, he studied in Berlin with Emil Lettre, and by 1913 he was teaching at Vittoria Street.

In 1920, he set up his own works called Langstone Silver Works. He also created pieces for other jewelers such as Sibyl Dunlop using her hallmark. Instone typically didn’t sign his own work but his pieces are easily recognizable. Liberty was finally able to work with him by the 1940s after putting in 25 years of convincing him.

She found it at the bottom of her jewelry box, happy to hold it again, after assuming she’d lost it for the hundredth time. It was one of those things that was never really lost, simply misplaced for a while. Immediately, she put it around her neck and admired her look in the mirror. Her eyes seemed to glow with the turquoise shades draped along her swan-like neck. No wonder it was her favorite, it made her feel divine.

The white sun and clear sky gave way to a heat wave with a warm breeze that tickled her cheeks. She laid her bright pink towel on the sand, away from other people, and close to a sugar maple tree. Her eye-catching ring warmed her finger as the metal touched the hot air, the color of the stone matched the color of the sun-lit sea.

The water was only feet away and the sound of the calm waves lulled her into the sweetest of dreams.

She wore it with her white sundress and gladiator sandals on her way to get a coffee at a local café in the city. The shade of turquoise matched her eyes and caused the barista to stare a little longer than was considered well-mannered. She didn’t mind, he was quite good-looking after all.

The word “chrysoprase” originates from the Greek “chrysos” meaning “gold” and “prasinon” meaning “green”. The Ancient Greeks and Romans would use it to make seals, signets, and other jewelry as the color was, and still is, enthralling. Legend has it that chrysoprase was Alexander the Great’s favorite gemstone. It was known as the stone of Venus, the Roman Goddess of Love.  During the Middle Ages, chrysoprase was thought to be a magical stone that was recharged when placed outside beneath a half-moon.  

This antique Arts and Crafts silver chrysoprase drop pendant was handcrafted in England around 1910.  This elegant and detailed pendant features filigree silverwork that enhances the two oval en cabochon shamrock green chrysoprases.

Mary Russell Thew, was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1876. She studied at the Glasgow School of Art for a time in the 1890s, meeting and befriending Jessie Marion King and E.A. Taylor. She married in 1903, to James Mursell Thew, an engineer whose hobby was silversmithing. He often would make jewelry for his beloved wife and soon enough she began designing pieces herself. He passed away after only a few years of marriage, and Mary decided to take on the jewelry business to support her and her son. She took courses, and became a member of the “Greengate Close Coterie”, a group of artisans who gathered in Kirkcudbright for extended periods of time. She was also a member of the Glasgow Society of Lady Artists. Inspired by her world travels and everything Arts and Crafts, she developed a signature design aesthetic, a free-flowing silver wire style with semi-precious gems, beads, abalone, marble, or in this case, art glass. Her work shows an understanding of space and decoration, it’s a balance between design and color. She passed away in 1953 after a lifetime of achievements and a body of beautiful work.

A single turquoise stone sat in a golden setting on her finger as she grabbed the steering wheel. Her gypsy soul was impulsively venturing toward the sunset, until her tank of gas ran out. On and on she drove, drinking from an old water bottle and snacking on milk duds. She never turned back, always dreaming forward to the mystery of the future. She took few items with her on these road trips, but always that ring, and her sense of curiosity.

I don’t know why, but I always seem to remember the first piece I buy on every trip. Maybe it’s the anticipation of shopping, the excitement of the journey, the jet lag? Whatever it is, I remember buying this necklace, the first piece on a trip to England, on a cold and rainy early Spring day. After an early morning, a long train ride and then a bus, I was finally at the Newark fairgrounds, north of London. I went first to the one indoor building to see a few dealers I know (and get out of the rain). I was walking by the stall of someone I’ve never bought from before when this necklace simply jumped out at me, I had to stop, had to look, there may have been a bit of love at first sight. In an instant it was already so memorable to me, I simply knew that it would be my first piece.

Completely hand crafted in that very definitive Arts and Crafts style is this fantastic antique silver necklace set with sparkling cognac colored citrines and a large blister pearl. This necklace was made around 1890-1900, at the height of the Arts and Crafts movement, most likely in England. This style of work and combination of materials is very in keeping with what was being retailed by the likes of Liberty and Co. at this time. The colors are superb, the patina on the silver is just right, the rich golden glow of the citrines contrasts just right with the creamy white of the pearl.

This choker necklace is completely unmarked, which is fairly typical of these Arts and Crafts pieces. It is set with 2 oval faceted and 8 round faceted, citrines with lots of sparkle and a single larger oval blister pearl at the center. The lovely and unusual chain culminates in a T bar and hoop style clasp. This necklace measures 15 inches from clasp to clasp and the center drop is 3 inches long and 1.75 inches wide at the widest part. It weighs 17 grams.

As a lover of Arts and Crafts style anything, furniture, architecture, gems, I was totally surprised and delighted to find this necklace in a stall in the middle of a horse field in the North of England. I had to bring it home. For you.
