Long before cell phones, before cameras could be carried in a pocket or a purse, photographs were expensive and hard to come by; so people often didn’t have images of their loved ones to keep after that person had passed. Instead, they used a lock of hair, often elaborately woven and put under glass. It gave them a memory, a keepsake, of the person that they had lost.

This brooch was made as a memorial to one such person. It would have been worn during the period of mourning, which lasted for a year and then some. The front of this wonderfully hand crafted pin is done in swirls of gold and black enamel and is set with a virtual bouquet of flowers which are accented in creamy white pearls and one small diamond. This brooch has a frame on the reverse which would originally have held the hair of loved one, but which has been removed at some point in its life. The reverse is inscribed with ‘In Memory Of’ and the initials ‘EHC’. This large piece measures 40.7 mm from north to south and 50.9 mm across and weighs 26.2 grams. We’ve carefully acid tested it as being 15 karat gold.

This wonderful piece of history was made during the Georgian era in England, probably dating to about 1830.

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 these are more like individual works of art. Hand cut by craftsmen who spent decades learning their craft. 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 today's modern cut stones. This fabulous ring was made in about 1910 and showcases a mine cut diamond with large cut facets that cause it to flash with slow and stunning sparks of colorful fire.

Fully hand crafted in platinum and set with an array of fiery diamonds, this beautiful ring would make an excellent engagement ring. The center stone measures 4.5x2.99 mm and weighs approximately .38 carats, it is a I color, SI2 stone, and is surround by 8 smaller diamonds which together add up to .61 carats (F-H color, VS1-Si1 clarity). This ring may well be American in origin as the halo of diamonds contains early American cut brilliant stones. The total diamond weight is .99 carats and the ring is marked with ‘PLAT’ fro platinum. The ring face measures 10.4 mm north to south and across and sits 5.1 mm off the finger, it is a size 7.25 and could be re-sized to suit, it weighs 2.2 grams.

The Metropolitan Opera house opened with a performance of 'Faust' on October 22, 1883; on Broadway in New York City. The opera house had been formed and built by the likes of the Vanderbilts, the Roosevelts and the Astors as a response to being shut out of the Academy of Music due to their new-money status. On opening night, and every night for years to come, the private boxes at the Met became known as ‘The Diamond Horseshoe’ as the radiance of the stunning diamond jewels of the patrons lit up under the gaslights and the massive chandelier. This diamond starburst brooch would have felt completely at home. Likely it would have been worn as only one of a collection of starburst brooches pinned to a fur or dress. A singular part of the Diamond Horseshoe.

This starburst is one of my personal favorites, it has a touch of a snowflake look to the design. The brooch is handcrafted in 18 karat gold with the diamonds set in silver. The center stone is an Old European Cushion cut diamond that weighs just over a half carat, and the total weight in diamonds, including the additional 56 Old European cut stones, is about 3.25 carats. This fantastic piece is exceptionally sparkly and lively, the diamonds flashing with your every move. The pin stem is a later replacement and is fixed, but the brooch has an enhancer fitting on the back so this piece would be easy to wear as a pendant. It has no hallmarks that I can see, I purchased it in England, and it was likely made there, around 1880-1890. It measures 34 mm north to south and across and weighs 12.9 grams. The star has been appraised by a GIA Master Gemologist and I’m happy to provide a full copy of the appraisal upon request, the insurance replacement value is $12,500 USD.

She sat at the top of a cliff and caught her breath, her harness still dangling from her waist. The sun was just kissing the horizon and the light had turned a rich and buttery yellow. The sea below was a shocking shade of blue. He came and sat next to her and offered her a bottle of water. When she took it and went to turn the lid, she heard a clink and noticed a glint off the bottle. She tore her eyes from the ocean and looked down at the bottle, hanging around the neck was a ribbon and strung on the ribbon was a magnificent diamond ring. She looked at him and he shrugged and smiled.

“Shall we?” he asked.

“Yes.” she said, and grasped the hand he offered. “Yes, I think we shall.”

This perfectly fantastic European diamond solitaire ring is set with a 1.59 carat diamond in a band of buttery 18 karat yellow gold.

I was standing at the booth of a dear friend on Portobello Road on a Saturday morning when a very good looking young man arrived. She greeted him warmly and he her. Then he began to pull little bags of jewels out of his many pockets, laying them on her counter. When he pulled out the bag that contained this stunning pendant I couldn’t help but lean in and have a closer look. The nice thing is, my friend loves me and let me steal this fabulous piece right out from under her; she’s awesome like that.

This stunning and large scale pendant was handcrafted around 1850 with fantastic eye to detail. It is set with four richly saturated, deep red garnets with the most intriguing cuts, they are similar to sugarloaf cuts and maybe were meant to be somewhat heart shaped, the result is both stunning and unusual. The center is set with a small old European cut diamond which measures 2.5 mm across and is closed backed. This piece is beautifully crafted and I believe it started life out as something else, but it has no signs of having had a pin stem removed so I’m not entirely sure what. Perhaps it was part of a stomacher or parure? The body of the pendant tests as 22 karat gold and has a corresponding weightiness, the bale is 15 karat and marked as such. The pendant has a locket back which has a small piece of fabric in it but which probably originally held a lock of hair. This large pendant measures 64.3 mm north to south and 42 mm across, it is 15.3 mm deep and weighs 26.7 grams. It would require a nice, heavy chain or thick cord to be worn comfortably.

Most likely English in origin, this one is sure to be noticed and would work equally well with a fancy cocktail dress or flip flops and a tee. It’s a stunning pendant and a true conversation starter.

The term ‘bewitched’ dates to the 1200s, but it wasn’t until some 300 years later that the meaning changed from a fearful term with an implication of harm to the more figurative sense of charming someone, enchanting them with delightful attraction. The Victorians, with their love of all things figural, created wonderful witches heart jewelry, usually in the form of brooches and sometimes pendants, but this is the first time I’ve ever stumbled upon a witches heart ring, and I have to say that this one bewitched me instantly.

Hand crafted in 18 karat gold, this English beauty was made around 1880. It is set with a lovely Old European cut center diamond which weighs about .4 carats, surrounded by an additional 9 old cut diamonds which add up to about a further .92 carats, for a total approximate diamond weight of 1.32 carats. The center stone has a distinctly golden hue, while the surrounding stones are well matched and very white, all of the stones are very sparkly, clean, and beautifully hand cut. The ring measures 12 mm north to south and 10.3 mm across, it sits 8 mm off the finger and narrows to 4 mm at the back of the band. This ring is marked ’18’ for the gold content and bears the makers mark of ‘E.C.’, it is a size 8.25 and weighs 4.7 grams.

Have you been bewitched? This fantastic and unusual ring would make an absolutely stunning and unique engagement ring!

Just like people, these wonderful garnet earrings were made to be seen by candlelight. Can't you just see them, winking a lush, deep red, rich enough to match your cabernet as you sit with friends, eating and drinking in the soft glow. The lovely large cabochon cut stones flashing out with ruby red fire.

I don’t know about you, but I find garnets to be simply beguiling.

Each earring is further set with 3 winking rose cut diamonds, just to help draw in the eye (as if they needed it!). The earrings measures 39 mm from north to south and 12.4 mm across, together they weigh 11.4 grams. These lovelies are unmarked but have been carefully acid tested to verify their content.

There’s no need to overdo it. Sometimes simplicity is the height of chic. You can be trendsetting without being over the top. Just a glowing band of solid gold with a little sparkle is all you need to tie it all together and look effortless and sophisticated at the same time.

This fantastic Edwardian bangle is beauty simplified.

Emeralds are the color of new spring growth, of lucky shamrocks, and fresh scented pine needles. They’re filled with lore as centuries ago they were believed to invoke magic. They were Cleopatra’s favorite gemstone, and she used emeralds in her royal adornments. Aristotle is rumored to have encouraged wearing emeralds around one’s neck to keep sickness away. I can’t say if emeralds hold magical powers but I can say they’re mesmerizing, elegant, and enchanting.

This wonderful emerald and diamond ring is set with a center Old European cut diamond which weighs approximately .25 carats and two rich green emeralds which together weigh about .2 carats. The ring is crafted in 18 karat gold with a simply yet lovely smooth shank and would play nicely with other rings or a simple band. This beauty measures 5.4 mm north to south and 13.4 mm across, it sits 3.5 mm off the finger, it weighs 2.4 grams. This size 6 ring has no marks but acid tests as 18 karat gold.

He held out his hand to pull her up out of the lake where she’d gone for a morning swim and she noticed a flash in the sunlight. She wondered but said nothing as he wrapped her a big fluffy towel warmed by the sun. When he went down on one knee, she thought he was simply reaching for the cup of coffee he’d set on the dock, but instead he slipped the ring off of his finger and onto hers. He didn’t say a word, but his eyes said ‘will you?’, her grin was all the yes he needed in reply.

This wonderful diamond bypass ring has such a romantic feel, the greek key motif in the center locks together two diamonds in an eternal embrace. The two diamonds are Old European cut round faceted stones which weigh approximately .15 carats each for a total weight of .3 carats. The stones are set into a rich but simple band of 14 karat buttery yellow gold and the ring is marked with ‘585’ to indicate the gold content. This ring measures 12.7 mm north to south at the widest point and is a 7.5 US in size, but could easily be re-sized to suit. The ring is inscribed with a name and date, but it was too faded by age for us to make out what it says. This ring is European in origin and likely dates to about 1900-1910, it weighs 2.2 grams.

“It is my prayer, it is my longing, that we may pass from this life together—a longing which shall never perish from the earth, but shall have place in the heart of every wife that loves, until the end of time; and it shall be called by my name.” - Eve (Mark Twain)

The serpent has had a place in mythology since man has been man. Chased from the Garden of Eden, sprouting from the head of a Gorgon, a dual symbol of good and evil, of medicine and poison, of fertility and revenge. Perhaps the duality of our own human nature has led every culture throughout humankind to both revere and revile them. To the Egyptians they were a symbol of royalty, to the Hindi a sign of passion, to the Romans they represented undying love. When Prince Albert proposed to Queen Victoria, it was at the height of a fashion revival for all things ancient and he presented her with a ring composed of two intertwined snakes to symbolize their unity and eternal love. Thus began both the engagement ring and the Victorian love affair with the serpent.

This magnificent single snake ring is set with a lively combination of diamonds and rubies. Hand crafted around 1870 in 15 karat gold, this beautiful ring contains two old European cut diamonds which together weigh .2 carats and two small rose cut diamonds eyes. It is further set with two rich pink rubies which together weigh .2 carats, one is round faceted and the other is cushion cut. The ring has no marks and has been carefully acid tested to verify the gold content. The face of this ring measures 5.6 mm north to south and 20 mm across, it sits 4.4 mm off the finger and narrows to 2 mm at the back of the band. This size 7.75 US ring weighs 3.2 grams.

This wonderfully sparkly ring would make a glorious engagement or wedding ring, the Victorians would approve!

'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

These Opals are spectacular. Let me just say off the batt that I am not an Opal expert, but I find myself more and more drawn to their subdued charm. This Opal ring took me completely by surprise. It is a lovely but fairly typical five stone Victorian ring (sometimes called a Half Hoop), but there is nothing typical at all about these stones. When I put it on my hand I noticed right away that these lovely crystal opals had great fire and play of color, the colors changing from calm reds, oranges and blues to bright and flashing bold blues and greens. The most amazing thing, though, is the way that these opals appear lit from within. That is not some trick of photography or light, it is simply the brilliance and fire of these stones, they almost seem to provide their own light.

This is a truly lovely hand made English Victorian ring, all set in 18 karat gold. The opals weigh approximately 3.3 carats all together, the center stone measures 7.4 x 5.4 x 2.8 mm, the inner sides measure 6.4 x 4.5 x 2.3 mm, and the outer sides measure 5 x 4.5 x 2.5 mm. The overall measurements are 8 mm north to south, 19.5 mm across and the ring sits 5.3 mm off the finger. The ring is currently a size 8, this style is difficult but not impossible to re-size, but if you let me know your desired size, I'd be happy to find out if it could be re-sized for you. This unmarked ring has been acid tested to confirm the gold content, it weighs 3.3 grams.

Do you have long fingers? Long fingers need long rings. Like this one. To be honest, I didn't have to think too long about whether or not to buy this fabulous ring. Set with miles of sparkling old cut diamonds, this ring made my mind up for me.

French for 'little boat' the term 'navette' in jewelry refers to a ring shaped just like this. Hand crafted in about 1890, this wonderful ring is set with 33 old European cut diamonds that add up to 2.55 carats in all, the center stone weighs .3 carats. This large ring measures 42.7 mm north to south and 17 mm across, it sits 6 mm off the finger and narrows to 2 mm at the back of the band, it weighs 7.1 grams. This ring is made of 18 karat gold and while unmarked, it has been acid tested to verify content. This ring is a size 6 US and could be re-sized to suit.

Like a tiny jeweled boat seen from above, this fantastic navette shaped ring is perfect for those with long fingers (like me!), loaded with sparkle and charm!

They call it cat’s eye. Is this because of the fantastic color that changes from green to gold depending on the light? Or is it because the ‘eye’ seems to follow you wherever you go? Or maybe it’s just because this stone is fabulous, just like cat’s?

This cat’s eye chrysoberyl is surrounded by a halo of Old European cut diamonds, all set into a Victorian ring of 18 karat gold. The center stone is a wonderful oval cabochon which measures 16 x 7.8 x 4.5 mm and weighs approximately 5.7 carats. Overall the face of this ring measures 19.5 mm north to south and 11.8 mm across, it sits 5.7 mm off the finger and narrows to 1.8 mm at the back of the band. This ring is marked ’18c’ for 18 karat gold and weighs 4.3 grams. This size 7.5 ring could be re-sized to suit.

This classic ring is such a rare beauty, it is filled with light and sparkle. This ring was hand crafted around 1880, most likely in England, which is where I purchased it.

Like it or not, our human history and mythology is highly connected to the imagery and iconography of the serpent. Cleopatra wore golden snakes, Eve was notoriously taken in by one, the Buddhists say that Mucalinda, king of the snakes, guarded the Buddha while he sat in meditation, and the ancient Egyptians worshiped the snake goddess Wajet, who protected the pharaohs, while simultaneously fearing her son, Nehebkau, the two headed serpent who guarded the entrance to the underworld. The snake biting it's own tail has been used through the ages to represent the cyclic and infinite nature of all of life, and the motif is thought to have been inspired by the stars of the Milky Way. Snakes intertwined have long embodied the perfection and eternity of love.

This unusual and beautifully hand crafted ring is made up of not one or two, but four fantastic snakes curing their way around your finger. Each snakes head is set with a different gemstone, representing the four most precious of stones, diamond, ruby, sapphire and emerald. I knew I had to have the rare and lovely thing the second that I first laid eyes on it. This ring is a size 8 and would be difficult (although not impossible) to re-size; it measures 15 mm north to south and weighs 4.2 grams. This ring is marked with ‘585’ indicating that it’s 14 karat gold. I’m not certain where it was made, but it likely dates to about 1890-1900, I found it in Belgium.

There is something very powerful about a man in a gold ring. Throw in a couple of snakes and that power speaks to yummy. (This ring would be equally beautiful and powerful on a woman, don’t get me wrong).

They called it 'La Belle Époque', translated as ‘the Beautiful Era’, and it's as well they should have. From about 1871 to the beginning of World War I in 1914, peace and prosperity flourished throughout Europe and especially settled in France and England. The arts flourished, money flew, it was truly a golden age. This ring was made then, there, in that Paris of the early 20th century, amidst that optimism, that joie de vivre!

Completely hand crafted by a master of the art, this ring is a modified target type ring, set with row upon alternating row of glittering white diamonds and rich blue sapphires. The 17 diamonds add up to about 1.2 carats in total and the two rings of calibre cut sapphire are about .7 carats total. The ring is 18 karat gold in the back and the top stones are all set in platinum, this kind of 18 karat and platinum construction is very typical of the Belle Époque (which corresponds to the English Edwardian Era), as jewelers didn't really start using all platinum construction until the 1920's (with some exceptions). This ring has a fairly worn hallmark, but it is the eagles head assay mark which tells us that it is French and contains 18k gold. The ring is currently a size 7 and measures 20 mm north to south and 14.5 mm across, it sits 5 mm off the finger and narrows to 1.3 mm at the back of the band. Made in Paris, France around 1910.

This beautiful ring from the beautiful era would make a precious gift for any occasion or a stunning right hand ring that could be worn from blue-jeans to ball gowns!

Peridot is the only gemstone found in meteorites. Granted these particularly lovely, bright Spring green round-cut Peridots are most likely Earth-made, but I find it fascinating to think of all those big chunks of rock flying through the cosmos with these lovely green crystals along for the ride. Is is just coincidence that Kryptonite looks a little like Peridot? I think not.

These two bright and lively peridots play point, counter-point on either side of brightly dancing Old European cut diamond. This hand crafted ring is made in 18 karat gold; the center diamond is an old European cut and measures 5 x 5 x 3.4 mm and weighs .55 carats, the two peridots measure 3.5 x 3.5 x 2.3 mm and weigh .18 carats each, or .36 together. The ring has been re-shanked at some point in it’s long life and has lost it’s hallmarks, but is certainly English in origin and dates to about 1890-1900, it tests as 18 karat gold. This ring measures 5.8 mm north to south and 12.5 mm across the face, it sits 5.4 mm off the finger at the highest point and narrows to 1.6 mm at the back of the band. This ring is a size 7.6 and weighs 2.7 grams.

This fantastic double snake ring was made in England in about 1890. It is set with a bright and romantic red ruby and a sparkling old European cut diamond. This rings hallmarks are a little too rubbed to make out fully, but I can see that it was made in Chester, England of 18 karat gold. This ring measures 9 mm north to south and the face is 14.8 mm across, it’s 4.2 mm high and narrows to 3 mm at the back of the band. This ring is a size 7.5 and weighs 4 grams.

Just because something is pious doesn’t mean that it can’t also be beautiful. After all, Art and Religion have been intertwined for as long as either one has existed. Art museums are filled with religious icons of gold and gems and the churches and cathedrals of Europe are still some of the best places to view art and architecture. The Vatican itself houses one of the best collections of art in the world; all you need do is look up inside the Sistine Chapel to see this. Popes throughout history commissioned some of the best art we have ever known. (With extra thanks to Julius II for letting Michelangelo loose with a brush).

This fantastically conceived antique Edwardian cross is further proof of the link. Fully hand crafted in 18 karat gold and platinum topped, this cross is set 12 Old European cut diamonds and 32 rose cuts giving it the appeal of a candlelit cathedral. The full cut diamonds add up to about 1.45 carats total weight. This largish cross measures 62 mm north to south include the diamond set top bale and 34.1 mm across and it weighs 5.4 grams. This fabulous cross is unmarked but has been acid tested to verify the content.

Art, religion, faith, beauty, a righteous combination.

I have long fingers and long fingers need rings of substance. When I saw this beauty sparkling in the sunlight of my friend and supplier’s kitchen, I popped it on and didn’t take it off again for a week. It’s unusual looking for a Victorian ring and I suspect that it was originally made for a gentleman, but it looks equally brilliant on my long fingered lady-hands!

This fully hallmarked ring was made in London, England in 1884. It looks like a large ‘X’, but I actually think it was created as a love knot ring and it’s set with 3 old European cut diamonds in a gypsy style.

This ring measure 11.5 mm north to south and sits super flush, only 2 mm off the finger, it narrows to 8.2 mm at the back of the band and so will be a slightly snugger fit than a ring with a thin band, it’s a size 9 and weighs 7.3 grams.

There’s a joke about Wisconsin that goes like this: “Welcome to Wisconsin, where we have two seasons, Winter and ‘the other season’ ”. It’s true, winters here do seem to drag on a little too long and take up half the year. And while the winter here is beautiful I find that every once in while I have to hop on a plane and land somewhere (anywhere) lush and green. Just filling my eyes with the rich greens of the tropics does wonders for getting me through until May when the green starts edging back into my landscape. And in between trips to green places, I just pop on a ring like this, I find that a luscious emerald has the same effect on my psyche as a nice long walk in the jungle.

This fantastic diamond and emerald cluster ring showcases an Emerald cut emerald which measures 11.3 x 7 x 4.5 mm and weighs approximately 2.46 carats. The emerald is surrounded with a rectangular frame of Old European Cut diamonds; ten diamonds of .15 carats each are interspersed with twenty smaller .02 carat stones for a total diamond weight of approximately 2 carats. The ring is beautifully hand crafted in platinum with a lovely scrolling gallery underneath, it has a wonderful smooth feel and a low profile. This ring measures 18.8 mm north to south and 14.4 mm across and it sits 5.6 mm off the finger. This ring has some marks but I wasn’t able to sort out what they were because they’re a bit worn, it was certainly made in about 1910 and is European in origin. The ring is a size 6.75 and weighs 5.8 grams.
