Antique Austrian Hunting Motif Bracelet Silver
$ 580.00
Hunting in the early 1900s wasn’t just a mans game. Women were invited to attend, and they most certainly knew how to dress for the occasion. An adventurous lady of means would ride sidesaddle on her horse, while wearing red to prevent any shots from coming her way. This woman would have known that thematic accessories were also required, such as a hunting-inspired bracelet to accent her black riding hat.
This beautifully hand crafted antique Austrian bracelet features a design inspired from the love of hunting. It was made in Austria, around 1900, in silver. It has a hefty feel at 35.0 grams and 7.75 inches of length. Each hunting motif link is round and 18.8 mm in diameter. Every piece is different from the others as there are eight charms in total, consisting of a dog, a deer, a quail, a wolf, a duck, a boar, a hare, and a raptor. It is marked with the silver content mark, ‘800’ and the maker’s mark reads, ‘BAS’.
This bracelet is a wonderful quality made piece. It’s not just for hunting anymore, but it would make a fabulous gift!
Antique Cabochon Garnet Ring 15k Gold 1871
Sold Out - $ 2,400.00
The word garnet originates from the Greek, ‘pyropes’, meaning “fiery-eyed”. It’s the perfect description for these glowing stones. Garnets have been in use since the Bronze Age, if not earlier. Prehistoric Egyptians used garnets as inlays in their jewelry and carvings that date as far back as 3100 BC. They claimed garnets were the symbol of life. The Ancient Romans fell in love with garnets during the 3rd and 4th century and often used them as signet rings. Bohemian garnets are a special shade of deep red. Bohemian garnets have been mined in the area we now call Czechoslovakia since the Middle Ages. By the 18th and 19th centuries, the popularity of garnets grew to their height. Bohemian garnets and their traditional dark red wine shade took over the jewelry market, including this very ring.
This antique Victorian red garnet ring was handcrafted in Birmingham, England, in 1871. It features a delicious oval garnet that has been cabochon cut, set in 15 karat gold and flanked with detailed shoulders. It’s an eye-catching ring. The garnet measures 14 x 10 mm. The ring face is 15.7 x 17.2 x 5.6 mm and the band width is 3.1 mm. This piece is fully hallmarked and bears the date letter, ‘W’, the anchor for Birmingham, the gold purity mark, ‘15’ and ‘.625’. The maker’s mark reads, ‘E L’. This ring is a size 8.25 and weighs 6.0 grams.
This truly unisex ring would be stunning on a man or a woman, not to mention it goes great with a bottle of Occhipinti Il Frappato and a chocolate truffle or two!

Antique Coral Arts & Crafts Silver Ring
$ 550.00
For centuries, coral was believed to protect the wearer, from evil, from sickness, and from pain. During the Georgian Era, coral was typically faceted and strung onto a necklace. Children of means would often wear a coral necklace, given to them from a loved one, to keep them safe. Of course, coral, especially red coral – the rarest and most expensive – was also fashionable. Jane Harley, the Countess of Oxford, wore a string of red coral around her neck. It was in vogue for the rich and the powerful. And honestly, I’m not convinced it ever went out of style!
This antique Arts and Crafts coral ring is a beautiful dark orange/red shade with three corals set in 800 silver. This ring is most likely German and was handcrafted around 1895 to 1905. It is a size 8.25 US and weighs 3.5 grams. Each of the three corals are oval and cabochon cut. The center coral is 8 x 6.4 x 2.1 mm. The ring face is 9.5 x 19.3 x 4.7 off the finger and the band width is 2.3 mm. It bears the silver purity hallmark, ‘800’.

Antique Double Heart Diamond Pearl Ring Hallmarked 1870
$ 950.00
Heart symbolism soared during the Georgian Era, and continued to be a regular motif under the reign of the trend-setter, Queen Victoria. Her dear Prince Albert gifted her a heart locket, prior to their wedding, with a lock of his hair inside. It is rumored that this was one of her most prized possessions. And anything the Queen loved, the rest of the West did, too. Couples used the double heart as a betrothal icon as it meant that two hearts were bound together as one. The intertwining hearts created a loop, with no beginning or end, represented a love meant for eternity.
This antique Victorian double heart ring holds both diamonds and pearls, and was handcrafted in 1870, in Birmingham, England. This double heart motif is made of nine rose cut diamonds and six pearls.

Edwardian Arts & Crafts Orange Opal Ring
$ 1,880.00
Precious opals are known for their diffraction of light, called ‘play of color’, in which rainbow colors shine from inside the stone like a kaleidoscope of firelight. This pink precious opal does just that in a mesmerizing fashion.
Opals have been used in jewelry as far back as 4000 BC, in Kenya. They were worn in Ancient Rome and considered to hold all the power of every gemstone because of the opal’s magical play of every color. The Romans called this stone, ‘opalus’, which means ‘stone of several elements’. In 75 AD, the Roman scholar Pliny took note, “Some opali carry such a play within them that they equal the deepest and richest colors of painters. Others simulate the flaming fire of burning sulfur and even the bright blaze of burning oil.”
This pink precious opal ring was handcrafted during the Arts and Crafts movement in the Edwardian Era, around 1910. This piece is European, likely Belgian. The pink opal is oval and an ellipsoid or double cabochon. It measures 11 x 8 x 5.9 mm. It is set in 18 karat gold on a size 8 band. This ring weighs 4.2 grams. It is hallmarked with the gold purity mark, ‘18CT’. The ring face measures 11.5 x 9.3 x 6.2 mm off the finger with a band width of 2.4 mm.
Most of the world’s opals are found in Australia. There is an Aboriginal legend that says opals came from where the Creator touched his feet to the ground as he descended from the heavens on a rainbow.

Victorian Banded Agate Graduated Bead Necklace
$ 790.00
Lady Clara had spent the past 12 months in full mourning. This morning her lady’s maid kindly reminded her she could begin to incorporate a tiny bit of color into her usual black bombazine wardrobe. Half mourning was to commence and continue until the two year mark. Although her heart still hurt from the parting of her beloved Mr. Benjamin, she was glad to add a bit of color to her daily routine. Undoubtedly, she desired to attend social events in town again, aching for companionship. She traveled to Jay’s on Regent Street to customize her next mourning dress, they were the best, after all. So carefully she chose her jewelry, with just the right amount of white, and her fabrics, with shades of gray and lavender.
Handcrafted with 46 smooth spherical agate beads, this silver clasped necklace is a wonderful piece! I used to come across beads like this more often, but they are becoming a rare find. Necklaces like this gorgeous hand carved strand of black, white and brown banded agate beads were often worn during late the mourning period when a woman could incorporate white into her all black wardrobe. The long strand of graduated beads measure 9.4 mm in diameter at the back and increase in size up to 19.5 mm in diameter at the front of the strand. This necklace weighs 105.9 grams and is 22.5 inches in length. The clasp has been acid tested as sterling silver, but we couldn’t quite get to enough of the chain that they are strung on to test the metal, it might be brass, it might be gold, I suspect it is a later re-stringing which was done after 1900. This beautiful strand is in good shape, with only a very few small dings from it’s over 150 years of life.
Victorian mourning jewelry was worn by both men and women after the loss of a loved one. Queen Victoria lost her Prince Albert when she was merely 42 and stayed in mourning until her death nearly 40 years later; thus increasing the popularity of mourning jewelry, as well as memorial pieces.

Victorian Diamond Pearl Enamel Star Target Earrings
$ 1,980.00
We decided to meet on Wednesday afternoon in the Duke of Wellington, a pub on London’s famed Portobello Road. The pub is mostly empty when we go in to order pints and snacks, it’s a cool rainy afternoon and the road, which bustles with activity much of the week, feels empty today. I’m sipping a cider and listing to the men talk politics while waiting for a friend; we’ll head up to her closed shop to do a little browsing after we eat (private shopping, lucky me!). She walks in looking fantastic as usual, a classic English beauty, she rocks heels and trainers equally well. Today she’s rocking these earrings and I can’t take my eyes off of them from the moment she enters the pub.
“Don’t worry, Victoria”, she smiles, “they’re for you!”
These fabulous earrings will make any outfit from casual to black tie. Handcrafted in 18 karat gold, they are set with 36 creamy white pearls, each 2 mm in diameter and further set with 14 Old European cut diamonds. The center diamonds weigh about .1 carats each and the other 12 diamonds are rose cuts. The stars around the diamonds are accented with blue enamel. These gorgeous earrings are most certainly made from another piece of jewelry, but not by me. Likely they were buttons or maybe cufflinks, they make fabulous earrings. The pendants were made around the same time the Duke of Wellington opened, in the late 1850s. The earrings have post backs now and from the post to the bottom they measure 28.6 mm and are 17.3 mm across. Together these earrings weigh 3.4 grams. These beauties are unmarked, but have been acid tested to verify their metal content.
Victorian Diamond Ruby Cluster Ring Gold
$ 4,800.00
I was on holiday in the Alps, on the Swiss side. I’m not much of a skier, but I like the cliffside restaurants that overlooked the snowy ledges and small mountain towns below. I was enjoying a mug of hot chocolate as I stood at the balcony watching the skiers and tourists move about. A couple in their younger years came up to me and introduced themselves. They insisted they could see my ring from below, sparkling amidst the sun and snow. Who am I to argue?

Victorian Double Witches Heart with Bow Top Brooch Pin Enamel Forget-me-not Flowers Gold
$ 1,140.00
The witches heart, with a tail that almost always twists to the right, was a piece of jewelry that had a purpose. Originally it was used as a talisman to ward off evil spirits, especially during childbirth and nursing. This style of heart had become so popular in Scotland in the 17th century that it was sold from small stalls or locked booths and so is sometimes also called a 'Luckenbooth'. By the time that this double Witches heart was made in the 19th century, the meaning had changed somewhat and these double hearts were often given as tokens of love, to indicated that the wearer had ‘bewitched’ the giver!
This fabulous Victorian double Witches heart brooch is beautifully enameled with rich matte light blue and white forget-me-not flowers making up each heart. It was hand crafted, most likely in England, in about 1860-70. This brooch does show some signs of having an old repair to the C catch, please look carefully at the photos to see this, it’s quite stable and I wouldn’t touch it as is it’s really unnecessary. This brooch measures 30.8 mm top to bottom and 28.7 mm across, it weighs 4.5 grams. This unmarked brooch acid tests as 15 karat gold. This wonderful brooch can also easily be worn as a pendant.
I love a good witches heart brooch, but I was over the moon to find this unusual enameled one with such a sweet sentimentality to it!

Victorian Essex Crystal Pendant Lily of the Valley
$ 1,890.00
The art form of crystal based reverse intaglio, or Essex Crystal work, began in Europe, possibly in Belgium. The difference between reverse carving and intaglio is that an intaglio piece is carved into the front rather than the back of the surface. It is said that Thomas Cook first introduced this tedious process to England during the 1860s. His finished crystals were initially sold by Hancock’s in London. So why weren’t they called “Cook crystals” or “Hancock crystals”? Well, it so happened that a very popular artist named William Essex, who specialized in enamel miniatures, was assumed to have produced them because of the fineness of the workmanship. Essex was one of Queen Victoria’s favorite portrait artists and so it was probably just assumed that such beautiful work must be his, and this mistaken attribution endures to this day.
This antique Victorian crystal pendant with a bouquet motif was handcrafted in 15 karat gold. It was made in 1858, in England, and features an oval cabochon cut Essex crystal set atop a beautiful image of a baby’s breath bouquet. The crystal is framed with pretty twisted wire details. The back is engraved with the date of “28th June 1858”. This piece weighs 7.0 grams and measures 32 x 20 x 10.8 mm.
Victorian Faceted Garnet Solitaire RIng
$ 1,550.00
Garnets were one of the Victorians favorite stones, I think it has to do with the way they look in candlelight, or possibly it's because their rich color was associated with love and affairs of the heart. They are undeniably romantic, both sensuous and elegant. Very, very Victorian.
This antique garnet solitaire gold ring was handcrafted in England around 1870. It features an rectangular faceted garnet set in 9 karat gold with engraved shoulders boasting a scrolling motif. The garnet measures 8 x 7 x 4.1 mm and weighs approximately 2.24 carats. The ring face measures 11.2 x 12 x 4.5 mm off the finger. It bears no marks and it has been acid tested.
This ring is the epitome of chic. Its design is classic, with a solitaire stone and just the right amount of delicate.

Victorian Sapphire Diamond Cluster Ring
$ 8,600.00
Sapphires have been attributed to royalty since the beginning of written history. The color and rarity of the stone signified power and wealth. During the Middle Ages, sapphires were thought to be a divine stone, and shield the wearer from harm and disease.

Victorian Single Diamond Head Snake Ring

Victorian Turquoise Love Knot Ring
$ 650.00
Turquoise first arrived in Europe via Turkey, hence its name, which is French for “Turkish”. Beads made from turquoise date back to 5,000 BC in Mesopotamia. It was one of the first gems to be mined and cut. Ancient Egyptians often wore off-white and would then decorate themselves with bold colored stones such as turquoise or lapis lazuli. They regarded the greenish-blue hues of turquoise to fertility, healing, and rebirth.
This antique gold turquoise ring was handcrafted in England around 1870. It features a branch motif, a nod towards that Victorian staple, the love knot, with six round robin egg blue turquoise stones. The ring face measures 7 x 17 x 1.5 mm off the finger.

Victorian Turquoise Ring 15k Gold
$ 880.00
Jane Austen owned a turquoise ring that was made during the 1760s. It was a simple and elegant 9 karat gold ring featuring a bezel set cabochon cut turquoise stone. There is mystery regarding how it came into her possession. She may have inherited the ring, it could have been a gift, only she knew. The famous author lived from 1775 to 1817, during the Regency Era. In her novels, she describes a variety of jewelry in beautiful ways, noting its importance in English culture and in individual sentiment. This ring would have been befitting of Austen’s status as a member of the Hampshire gentry.
This turquoise ring was made approximately 100 years after Austen’s, during the Victorian Era. It’s paralleled in mystery, as there are no marks. But it’s not lacking in beauty or style. This ring was made for a lady to wear, and to be seen, at balls, or in town.
Handcrafted in 15 karat gold, this ring holds 11 round cabochon cut turquoise stones, likely Persian turquoise as evidenced by the robin’s egg blue color. The ring face measures 6.7 x 16.6 x 2.5 mm. The center stone is 3.2 mm in diameter. It was made around 1860, in England. This ring is a size 8 and weighs 1.7 grams.

Vintage 1920s Moonstone Gold Ring
$ 620.00
It looked like the light from the moon, as though silver drops of it were contained inside her ring. She wore it instead of a watch, as she liked losing track of the time. It’s easier to indulge in the living of life that way. She woke up with the sun and stayed up until the owls sung her to sleep. She had an understanding that destinations were grossly overrated and that the ticking of a clock never got anybody anywhere. She’ll stick to moonstones, thank you very much.
This vintage moonstone gold ring was handcrafted in England around 1920. It showcases a round cabochon moonstone set in 9 karat gold with a frame of twisting gold wirework. The stone measures 8 mm in diameter and 5.8 mm in depth. This ring bears the gold purity mark, “9Ct”. The ring face measures 11.6 x 11.2 x 7.9 mm. This piece is a size 7 and It weighs 2.9 grams.

Vintage Diamond Bow Ring in 18k White Gold, French Retro 3.5+ctw
$ 9,880.00
Whenever I see a ring like this one, it really gets me to wondering. The stones in this ring are all old European cut diamonds, probably cut around 1880-1910, and yet this ring surely was made in the 1950s or 60s, so how did these diamonds end up here? What is their back story? Were they part of a Belle Époque brooch, links of a Victorian diamond bracelet, drops of an Edwardian necklace, a single fabulous earring whose mate was lost somewhere along the way? I guess in truth neither you nor I will ever truly know where they came from, what their previous life was. All we know for sure is that now they are here, in this fantastic ring, sparkling away as they've done for over a hundred years!
Handcrafted in France, this 18 karat white gold ring features a bedazzling array of diamonds, thirty-one old European cut round diamonds that add up to over 3.5 carats in all. The center stone is about .4 carats, six of the surrounding stones are about .15-.18 carats each and the other twenty-four weigh about .1-.12 carats each. The diamonds form a lovely knot or bow motif and are truly all sparkle, all of the time. This ring would be easy to resize, currently it is a size 4.75, and it weighs 8.3 grams. The ring is marked on the back of the band with the French eagle head mark, assayed in Paris and has also been acid tested to verify that it is indeed, 18 karat gold. The face of this ring measures 19.5 mm from north to south, and 19.5 mm across, it narrows to 2 mm at the back of the band.
Personally, I just adore old cut diamonds, so my heart did a little pitter-patter when I came across this beauty set with all these old cut gems. My own sneaking suspicion is that these diamonds started out life in a brooch and that some inheritee of said brooch decided to have it remade into this much more wearable and super stylie Retro cocktail ring!

Vintage Gold Doctor's Bag Locket Pendant
$ 1,220.00
I found this precious golden bauble on my last buying trip, in England. It was a misty day, but one of those English ones, so the gray clouds seemed cheerful and happy. I walked the city to arrive at the Sunday morning market a mere moments after it opened, stopping for a coffee along the way. The booth of first person I wanted to see was crowded, so I waited (im)patiently, standing just off to the side. As I waiting I looked through the case at the next booth over and spotted this wonderful locket. At first glance, I assumed this was meant for a lady with the initials of MD, meaning it was to be rich in history, and loved dearly. My mother has the initials ‘MD’ and so I asked to look at it, thinking of her birthday just a few weeks away. When he handed it to me to have a look I was struck by how weighty it was, and when I opened it I was delighted by the contents, it turned out that MD wasn’t for a person, it was for an education!
This unique vintage 9 karat gold doctor’s bag pendant was handcrafted in England, in 1945. The front and back are both engraved with the letters, ‘MD’, which stand for ‘Medical Doctor’. This fun pendant opens to reveal three golden doctor tools! Inside, there is a syringe, a scissors, and a stethoscope. This pendant measures 26 x 23.4 x 12.2 mm and weighs 15.6 grams. It is fully hallmarked with the mark for London, the gold purity marks, ‘9’, and ‘.375’, the date letter, ‘k’, and a maker’s mark.
For the medical school graduate in your life, or just a fabulous charm to keep all to yourself, because honestly, it’s adorable, this pendant is perfect!
