Arts & Crafts Enamel Amethyst Brooch Pin Jessie M. King
$ 750.00
This antique, Arts and Crafts, silver and amethyst brooch was handcrafted around 1910. It was designed by the famed Jessie M King, who was a successful artist and designer. King began her career as a book cover designer and illustrator. In around 1904 she began to design fabric for the well-known department store, Liberty & Co.. Shortly thereafter, she started designing jewelry for Liberty. This turquoise colored enameled flower brooch was one of those pieces. It measures 28.7 x 18 mm. It features a faceted round amethyst at the center, measuring 4.8 x 4.8 x 3.4 mm and weighing approximately .37 carats. This stone pairs perfectly with the bright blue enamel that cover the silver flower petals. It weighs 5.0 grams and has been acid tested.
Jessie M King was born in Scotland, in 1875. She studied at the Glasgow School of Art, and, in 1905, became a member of the historic Glasgow Society of Lady Artists. She was influenced by the Glasgow Style movement that began in the late 1880s. Eventually, she ended up influencing the movement itself, and was known as one of the Glasgow Girls. During this period of enlightenment, women artists had a short era of international visibility. They inspired other women in terms of art, women’s suffrage, and women’s equality.
This brooch was designed and crafted during this time period, and would be a stylish addiction to any art history buff’s jewelry box!

Antique Moonstone Demantoid Garnet Ring Silver Arts and Crafts Era
$ 550.00
One year I grew brussels sprouts in my garden. When I planted the little seedlings at the end of one of my raised beds, I have to admit that I had no idea how big these plants would get, as it turns out these plants get huge! I remember how few sprouts we got that were actually edible, but how beautiful the giant blue green leaves of the plant were. They always seemed to have a special glow by moonlight when I would take a midnight stroll down my garden paths. This ring reminds me of that summertime garden glow, the deep green of the garnets, the bright glow of the stone, the scatter of flowers, shining silver in the moonlight.
This wonderful Arts and Crafts era ring was hand crafted around 1900. The silver ring is set with a most beautiful blue glowing moonstone of some 3.07 carats and is accented with 12 green demantoid garnets, each 2x2 mm in size. The face of this ring measures 22 mm north to south and 18 mm across, it is a size 6.25 and weighs 6.1 grams. This ring is unmarked and tests as silver.

Vintage Arts & Crafts Enamel Silver Brooch Iris
$ 440.00
During the Victorian Era, there was a structure of meaning placed in flowers called ‘The Language of Flowers’. Irises were no exception, the purple iris symbolized wisdom and admiration, while the blue iris meant hope and faith. The iris itself can be traced back to Ancient Greek mythology. The goddess Iris was the personification of the rainbow and messenger of the gods. She delivered messages from the gods to the mortals below. She traveled along the arc of a rainbow as she moved between the heavens and the earth. “Iris”, in Greek, means “rainbow”. There is another translation, spelled, “eiris”, which means “messenger”.
This antique Arts & Crafts enamel silver brooch was handcrafted around 1910. It’s a carefully made piece featuring a bouquet of irises in a silver rectangular setting. This pin measures 42.3 x 22.7 mm and weighs 7.4 grams. There are no marks and it has been acid tested.
The Ancient Greeks planted purple irises on the graves of women to entice the goddess Iris, who was to lead their loved ones on their journey to heaven. Irises can be found depicted in Ancient Egyptian art. Kings were enthralled with the flower and had them drawn inside their palaces.

The company was in existence from 1886-1914, this bracelet was most likely made around 1900. They specialized in high quality affordable silver and gold jewelry. They produced pieces predominately in the Art Nouveau style, and their designs were often characterized by abstract motifs typical of this movement, often comprised of Celtic inspired interlacing elements, stylized foliate forms, pierced geometric shapes, luminous enamels, and precious or semi-precious stones. After World War I, the company was renamed White Redgrove & Whyte. Murrle Bennett & Co jewelry is now highly sought-after and widely collected.

Antique Arts & Crafts Enamel Silver Earrings
$ 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.
