Antique Essex Crystal Horse Brooch Pin Victorian
$ 1,400.00
I’m always ravenous for pieces of art that can be worn and shown off. And pieces like these, with endless charm and flattery, are by far my favorite. There’s a sweetness with this piece that stems from the jeweler’s love for his craft. There’s tradition with this piece, illuminated from the idea of nature. There’s a fashion with this piece, found in the ratios of gold, crystal, and paint, which give a sense of perfect artistic balance.
This antique Victorian gold Essex crystal brooch was handcrafted in England around 1880. It features a detailed motif of a horse and bridle, set in 15 karat gold. It’s a round pin that measures 22.4 mm in diameter and weighs 8.4 grams. It bears the hallmark, “V” and a maker’s mark. This brooch has been acid tested.
This type of reverse cut and painted rock crystal is commonly called an Essex Crystal. It’s made by taking a smooth round rock crystal, and cabochon cutting it, then deeply reverse-carving it. The stone is then hand-painted from the back. It’s a tedious process that takes many man hours. Of course, every minute of work on this piece was absolutely worth it!

Large Georgian Paste Horseshoe Buckle French Silver
$ 650.00
I’ve always had a soft spot for the Georgians and their way of styling life. It was an era with many phases including the usage of paste. Paste, or glass, was introduced as an alternative to expensive gemstones around 1780, which gave way to brightly colored jewelry sets and a new sense of personal style. Good luck charms were no exception to the Georgians, and horseshoes were worn to provide luck and to protect against evil. Personally, I always keep a lucky horseshoe over my door!
This antique silver paste horseshoe buckle was handcrafted in France around 1820. It’s a bright and sparkling piece that weighs 35.1 grams and measures 59 x 55 mm. It bears the French boar’s head hallmark and has a maker’s mark. This buckle has been acid tested.
Wearers of jewelry also donned pieces that symbolized their hobbies. The wearer of this bauble could easily have been an equestrian rider or an avid hunter. What would I wear if I was to wear my hobby as an accessory? Well, this buckle of course! It expresses my flair for the glittery things in life, my love of horses, and my obsession with all things Georgian.

Victorian Horseshoe Brooch Pin Silver Gold Flowers
$ 210.00 $ 300.00
What do you supposed people thought when they saw the first automobile? Did they think it was a coach drawn by invisible (and loud) horses. Did they think it was Witchcraft? Sorcery? The fate of humans was tied so closely to that of horses that by the Victorian era, just before the advent of the ‘horseless carriage’, horses were everywhere, on every street and every road. Inns didn’t have parking lots, they had stables.
Is it any wonder, then, that lives tied so closely to horses would celebrate them in their art and their jewelry? This fantastically large horseshoe brooch was hand crafted in Birmingham, England by the firm of Constantine & Floyd in the year 1888. It is a wonderfully ornate large horseshoe which is done fully in sterling silver and has floral designs at the top done with yellow and gold wash accents which travel down the sides. This brooch measures 49 mm top to bottom and 45.5 mm across and weighs 10.3 grams. The reverse of this piece has some dents to it, but the front was so lovely that I forgave it it’s faults. It is marked with the hallmarks and makers marks mentioned above as well as the lion rampant for sterling silver.
