Antique Georgian Agate Bracelet in Gold, 7.5 Inches
$ 1,450.00
Sometimes I purchase an item with a thought towards doing something else with it. Here’s an example of that. It feels a bit wicked to even say it, but in truth I purchased this fabulous bracelet with an eye towards turning it into several pairs of earrings. In the end, though, as usual, I just didn’t have the heart to break up this original Georgian beauty!
This fabulous bracelet was hand crafted in 12 karat gold around 1820. The smooth rounded rectangular agates are slightly graduated with the largest one falling opposite the hidden clasp. The stones have a wonderful variety of colors from red and brown to black and white. The bracelet is 7.5 inches long and has a safety chain for added security, even thought the clasp closes nicely with a little snap. The bracelet weighs 14.1 grams and is set with 11 agates, it measures 14.9 mm at the widest point and sits 3.7 mm off the wrist.
Ahhh… my best laid plans often come to naught, as I admit it, I’m a sucker for a great piece of antique jewelry in it’s original condition!

Antique Georgian Armorial Seal, Carnelian and 18k Gold c. 1820
$ 920.00
Since before the Bronze age people have been using seals to make an impression (usually in wax, on paper or in clay). This Georgian seal certainly makes an impression of it's own.
The hand carved rich burnt orange colored Carnelian is carved with a Heraldic coat of arms showcasing a field of crows under a crow on a stump. Often referred to as a armorial seal, because it would likely have been used to signify the house, or name, of the user, this fantastic and large seal is set into an 18 karat gold mounting that is reposed with a floral motif. The seal measures 1 1/8 inches across and 1 1/4 inches high. It is in wonderful condition, especially considering that it was made in the Georgian era, sometime around 1820. It weighs 14.2 grams.

Antique Georgian Black Enamel Memorial Ring with Pearls and Diamond in 15k Gold
$ 1,220.00
Eating a lemon poppyseed scone with lemon curd at De Laatste Kruimel on tiny side canal in Amsterdam, she looked at her hand and reminisced at this ring. She noticed the detailed golden shoulders of it and she turned her finger ever so slightly to catch the diamond in the afternoon sunlight. She remembered when she came across it as a child in her Nana’s jewelry box and how her grandmother told her it was used to remember. She smiled at the simple elegance of the ring and when the waiter came back around she ordered a glass of Saint-Peray and said to him, “To celebrate this beautiful day.”

A cluster of five silky pearls surrounds a glittering rose cut diamond on this elegant enameled flower shaped ring. The ring is locket backed with a plait of very dark hair.

Antique Georgian Diamond Flemish Cross in 14k Gold and Silver
$ 2,950.00
Her silver cross glimmered in the sunlight that poured through the stained glass windows of the cathedral. She stood up front, in the choir, exclaiming Hallelujah. Candles lit up any dark spaces the church once had, flickering shadows around the walls.
This Late Georgian Flemish Cross was handcrafted in gold and silver. All of the 29 winking white diamonds are rose cut, and foil backed, a technique used to bring out the true luster of the diamonds. The center rose cut diamond measures 5 mm in diameter. With this cross, sterling silver lies on top and it is backed in 14 karat gold. It has been professionally acid tested. It weighs 11.0 grams and measures 68.5 mm long, 43.6 mm wide and is 6.1 mm thick. This breathtaking piece was most likely made in the areas of Holland, Belgium or Austria.
Known as a Flemish Cross, this cross is not only a symbol of faith, but a sign of fashion. A diamond cross did not simply decorate the necks of the wealthy, during the 18th and 19th centuries, but gave power and style to the devout. This cross, with a rose motif, is symbolic of the Virgin Mary. Traditionally, beautiful woman in the 19th century would receive this expensive gift and wear it with a long silver chain. Today, many of these Flemish crosses are owned by the church or in private collections.
This traditional piece of jewelry boasts a modest elegance. It’s a necessity for every Christian’s jewelry box. Reaching every corner of this cross is a splendor of shiny metallics and careful detail.

Antique Georgian Memorial Ring Banded Agate Inscribed
$ 1,320.00
Mourning jewelry emerged long before photography existed, as a way to commemorate a loved one. Memorial bands were made to distribute amongst close friends and family of the deceased, typically by wealthier families who could afford it. Often, the one who made the arrangements for this was the deceased, prior to their passing. They were stunning pieces, some with miniature portraits of the loved one, some with woven locks of hair. This piece features a banded agate stone in black and white, which would have been worn during the mourning period.
This Georgian antique banded agate memorial ring was handcrafted around 1810, in the United Kingdom. The 18 karat hollow gold band is repousséd with a rich floral motif that encircles the entire shank and shoulders. An oval banded black and white agate is set at the center, and measures 9.4 x 7.3 mm. the inside of the band is inscribed, “Presented by G.M.

Antique Georgian Paste Silver Heart Pendant
$ 750.00
New love is fun, it’s flirty and makes your heart race, every love song that comes on the radio seems written just for you. But old love, well, I have to tell you, that’s where it’s at. When you’ve seen this one person through all of life’s scarring moments, the physical ones and the ones of the heart. When you’ve had to wonder if you might lose them, when you’ve seen the true courage and strength at the core of them, well, you might not go weak kneed when they walk in the room, but this kind of love is a fierce and deep thing that becomes part of the very soul of you and makes you wonder how you could ever live without it.
This antique Georgian silver and paste heart pendant would make an excellent gift for that kind of love, or the new kind, because it’s pretty great, too. She’s a fancy, older gal with a lot of sparkle. Set with bright pastes and topped with a floral scroll, the pendant is closed backed and was handmade around 1800; most likely in England, which is where I found it. Overall, it measures 42mm long and 18.7mm across and it weighs 5.2 grams. It bears no marks and has been carefully acid tested.
Paste, or glass gemstones with strong dispersions of light, date back to at least Ancient Roman times when they would use colored glass to imitate emeralds and lapis lazuli. In the Georgian era, jewelry made with precious stones was coveted and flaunted. However, some would keep their prized possessions at home and wear a duplicate made of equally mesmerizing paste. It shimmered like diamonds and enchanted like sapphires. Of course, pastes were also a fashion all their own. Ladies would wear pastes as part of their evening jewelry sets.

Early Georgian Silver Ruby Cross
Sold Out - $ 1,450.00
He wore this cross around his neck, on a ribbon that matched his dark dress robes. He stood in front of the devoted congregation, watching as they quietly chattered before his sermon was to begin. He smiled to himself, thankful for the beautiful summer morning, and for the friends and family he saw before him. He grabbed his cross, only for a moment, and whispered a prayer to himself. He walked to his podium, and gazed at the stained-glass windows bordering the pews, he watched how the sunlight strew across the walls, like a kaleidoscope. Instead of reading his rehearsed speech, he started to sing, ‘It Is Well’. Slowly, the congregation joined him, singing a little off key, and yet, at the same time, so eloquently.
This beautiful silver and ruby cross pendant was handcrafted during the beginning of the Rococo or the Late Baroque Era, around 1720, most likely in France. There are 11 table cut, foil backed rubies decorating this drop cross, which vary in shades of red and pink. Ribbon motifs helped to define this era of jewelry design, and this pendant is no exception as silver loops and wraps itself delicately around the cross, like a ribbon wound round a present. Colored gemstones, such as the rubies in this pendant, were more widely publicized and grew in popularity during this time. The overall measurements are 61 x 32.5 mm, with a weight of 7.8 grams. And it has been acid tested.
This should be the next addition to your jewelry box. It’s a lovely early piece, filled with heart and soul!

Fantastic Georgian Flat Cut Garnet Drop Earrings
$ 4,980.00
Just like people, these wonderful garnet earrings were made to be seen by candlelight. Can't you just see it, glittering deep red to match your cabernet as you sit with friends, eating and drinking in the soft glow. Did you know that Garnets are often called Bohemian because they were mined in Bohemia, in what is now the Czech Republic. I think they should be called Bohemian because they are dark and earthy and mysterious, just what you need to play the modern day Gypsy.
These handcrafted Georgian earrings are set with fantastic rich garnets which shoot fire with every movement. Each earring is set with eleven foil-backed flat cut garnets backed in 9 karat gold. The bottoms and tops of these earrings didn’t start life out together, but it’s a lovely marriage and the parts are all authentically Georgian. These earrings measure 59 mm to top to bottom and 21.5 mm across, together they weigh 9.7 grams.

French Georgian Topaz Diamond Turquoise Gold Floral Brooch
$ 2,500.00
The air smelled crisp as dew dotted the green grass of a springtime morning. She wore her hair up in a messy ponytail with faded jeans and a sweater. The scarf around her neck was of silk and warmth, fastened together with a brooch as beautiful as that very morning. The colors of the topaz matched the flowers starting to open with the soft sunlight. It looked natural there, with her white scarf, against her olive skin. She put her hands in her pockets, and looked out at the day, smiling at it.
This antique Georgian topaz and turquoise gold floral brooch was handcrafted in France in about 1820-25. It’s a stunning 18 karat gold piece with flowers of pink and blue topaz and leaves of robin egg blue turquoise. There are 11 pink oval topaz stones and 17 blue oval topaz stones, each measuring 3.5 x 4.2 x 2 mm and weighing a total of approximately 5.88 carats. At the center of the pink topaz flower is an old European cut diamond, measuring 3.2 x 2.2 mm and weighing approximately .18 carats. There are eight oval cabochon turquoises. This brooch pin measures 35.3 x 58.2 mm and it weighs 7.0 grams. It is marked on the C clasp with the left facing ram’s head mark (used from 1819-1938) which indicated a minimum gold fineness of 18 karat/750. It comes in an antique box in which it was purchased by me and which helps to protect it, I’m fairly certain that box and brooch are not original to each other.
I didn’t want to share this beauty with the rest of the world but the more I looked at it, the more I realized it would be a crime not to. This is a gorgeous masterpiece, I hope you enjoy it.
A note from Victoria: This piece is not in perfect condition. One of the gold leaves is broken off from the bottom, and you can see the base of this leaf just by the gold ball to the left of the central pink topaz in the first photo. I thought it was so incredibly beautiful that I was willing to forgive it this small flaw. I checked with my jeweler on repairing it, but he agreed that it is lovely as is and said that a repair may cause it to be less beautiful, not more.

$ 1,200.00
I like to imagine that a well-to-do gentleman used one side of this fob seal to mark secret love letters and clandestine messages, while the other side was used for transparent business affairs.

Georgian Enamel Portrait Locket Pendant 18k Gold
$ 1,800.00
Who this lovely lady is, I just do not know. She was someones daughter, that much is for certain. Was she someones mother, someones one true love? Her stylish dress and bright ribbons show her playful spirit and the artist has depicted her with sleepy, bedroom eyes.

Georgian Flat Cut Diamond Earrings Silver Set Gold Backed
$ 1,880.00
They were her sister’s earrings until she borrowed them for a wedding last summer. She conveniently forgot to give them back over the holidays; and she just happened to forget her own earrings for the New Year’s Eve party. Thank goodness her sister said she could borrow them for one more night, which might accidentally have turned into another two months. She secretly hopes her sister forgets all about them. She’d like to wear them all the time. She likes the way they glitter, how they go with all her favorite things.
These antique Georgian flat cut diamond earrings were handcrafted in England around 1830. There are 24 rose cut diamonds decorating these leaf-shaped drop earrings. They have been acid tested, the hooks are 18 karat gold while the backs are 15 karat gold. They bear no marks. Each earring measures 33 x 15.3 mm and together they weigh 5.4 grams.
Please note that while the majority of these earrings are Georgian, they may not have started life out as earrings. It seems to me that at some point they may have been made from an old Georgian piece of jewelry, so the connection points and ear wires are probably not original while the diamond parts are. It seems that this was done some time ago and the resultant earrings are extremely lovely. It may also be that they were always earrings but were re-wired at some point as the wires often did get bent and broken.
Morning, noon, and night, a pair of earrings like these need to see all hours of the day. And you have just the ears to do it!

Georgian Gold and Jasper Ring
$ 1,950.00
People always ask me where I buy my jewelry. Well, in truth there’s not only one place. Sometimes I visit small markets held in little galleries, sometimes I find myself in giant, sprawling antiques markets filled with tiny stalls, each with it’s own flavor, reflecting the personal tastes of it’s owner. Sometimes I shop in barns, in English fields on chilly mornings when the frost hasn’t yet been melted off the grass. On these days I buy hot coffee more for it’s hand warming effect than for it’s caffeine. I don’t care one bit if my toes are a little bit cold because when I find rings like this one, I instantly warm them with the little jig I dance!
This ring struck me as Georgian with it’s richly colored, smoothly polished Jasper gem and it’s deeply carved frame and shoulders. I was surprised, then, to find it dated ‘1913’, I strongly suspect it was made around 1830-40 and dated at a later time. It’s a gorgeous ring and the wonderful variegated stone measures 13 x 10.5 x 5 mm, the overall ring is 17.6 mm north to south and 14.4 mm across the face, it sits 6.3 mm off the finger. This unusual beauty is a size 7.5 and weighs in at 4.9 grams. It is marked with ‘9c’ for 9 karat gold and was surely made in England.
This is the kind of ring that I find myself personally drawn to, it feels amazing on and garners many a complimentary reaction!

Georgian Gold Carnelian Fob Seal Pendant Crest Brady Family
$ 1,120.00
His tie was striped with shades of crimson; his tailored suit was crisply pressed and charcoal. Her confidence was hardly ever shaken; and yet this man, whom she’d never met, asked her for the time because his pocket watch had stopped. All she could do was giggle. He tucked his watch and fob in his pocket, still wondering the time. She pulled out her phone and showed him the clock, without saying an actual word. He thanked her, as a gentleman would, and handed her his business card with just his name on the front, Jay Brady, his number was on the back. Again, all she could do was giggle.
This antique Victorian carnelian watch fob was made circa 1820 in England. The rich orange carnelian set in gold features an intaglio seal of a detailed family crest. This crest is that of the family Brady or McBrady, of Ireland. The crest is made up of a winged cherub set atop a Coat of Arms. The banner near the bottom reads, “Claritate Dextra”, which is Latin for ‘with a bright light to the right’. The upper part of this fob a boasts rich, regal design. This piece weighs 22.8 grams and measures 29.3 x 24.4 x 41.3 mm. It has been acid tested as 15 karat gold, it is likely what they call ‘cased’ meaning that it’s a very thick layer of gold over base metal, it would be impossible to tell without ruining the fob, but I assume most of these Georgian beauties are cased.

Georgian Gold Jet Mourning Brooch Pin
$ 160.00

This antique Georgian brooch was handcrafted around the 1820s in 9 karat gold. This simple yet chic rectangular brooch features 10 flat cut black paste set in gold. This brooch pin weighs 2.3 grams and measures 22.4 x 19.0 mm. It has been professionally acid tested.

Georgian Greyhound Engraved Fob Seal Pendant Gold Carnelian
$ 690.00
Greyhounds are an ancient breed that originated in Egypt around 9,000 years ago. They were bred for hunting large game, using their sight and not their scent. The name comes from the German, “greishund” which means, “old dog”. In 1014 AD, English Law stated that killing a greyhound was punishable by death.
This antique Georgian carnelian gold fob was handcrafted in England around 1820. This detailed seal showcases gold on a winding top set with a beveled flat-cut carnelian with a greyhound intaglio. The graceful greyhound is racing with all four legs off the ground and there is a small chip in his back due to love and wear. It measures 20.4 x 14 x 14 mm and it weighs 5.0 grams.

Georgian Intaglio Fob Seal Pendant Carnelian Wheat Sheaf
$ 340.00
It’s called a wheat sheaf if it’s sitting in a field, a freshly cut bundle of wheat grass drying in the sun. If it’s painted on a shield or embroidered on a doublet or carved into an intaglio seal, then it’s called a Garb. The garb has been used in heraldry for hundreds and hundreds of years. It was originally used by the Earl of Chester and has been identified with that family and it’s offshoots for centuries. It was symbolic of plenty.
This Fob is an excellent smaller size and would make for a great pendant or addition to a bracelet. It is set with a beveled slice of orange carnelian which is carved with a single, lovely sheaf of wheat. The stone is collet set into 9 karat gold, it measures 15 mm x 10 mm across the face and is is 22 mm long. The fob weighs 2.8 grams.
This wonderful intaglio seal dates to about 1820 and was made in England.

Georgian Maltese Cross Pendant Chalcedony 15k Gold
$ 1,800.00
I was chatting with a friend at a fair in central London on a Sunday morning when this cross caught my eye and just wouldn’t let it go. I asked her to hold it and once I had it in my hands there was no letting it go. The smoothly carved white chalcedony, the wonderful inscription, the age and history seemed to seep into my skin and I just had to have it. For you, of course.
This fantastic Georgian Maltese Cross pendant is on the larger side of things. It is set at the center with hair that’s been carefully plated. The reverse bears the engraved message “E.R.W. Ex dono J.W. June 19th, 1832”. An ‘Ex Dono’ is a gift given from one person to another and so I suspect that rather than being a memorial piece to commemorate a death, this cross was actually just given as a gift. The gold fittings have been carefully acid tested as 15 karat gold and piece is in much better condition than I will be at 187 years old! This pendant cross measures 52 mm top to bottom and 41 mm across and weighs 14.9 grams. It was made in England in about 1832.

Georgian Memento Mori Wheat Sheaf Pendant Heart Crown
$ 990.00
Memento Mori is Latin for, ‘Remember that you have to die’. I swear it’s not as morbid as it sounds. It’s different from traditional mourning jewelry in the sense that it’s not mourning at all. It’s accepting the idea that death will come. It allows the wearer to be reminded of his or her own mortality and the afterlife.
Memento Mori jewelry was most popular during the 1600s and the first half of the 1700s. By the mid-1700s the trend began to die off (pun intended).
This Georgian heart shaped Memento Mori pendant was handcrafted in England, around 1730. It holds 38 faceted paste stones that border a motif, set behind clear crystal. Behind the glass is a gold foil wheat sheaf, symbolizing everlasting life. The wheat sheaf is in front of a woven lock of hair, typical in Memento Mori jewelry. This piece weighs 1.8 grams and measures 28 x 13 x 5 mm.
The wheat sheaf symbol is based in Christianity from when Jesus Christ broke bread and gave it to his disciples during the Last Supper. In terms of Memento Mori pieces, it can also be considered part of the divine harvest which would eventually be reaped. This expresses the ending of life and the resurrection of the soul.
This type of jewelry was not meant for grief or lamentation. Simply, it acknowledged that death was inevitable. I love finding early pieces like these. It clearly meant a lot to the wearer as it’s swimming in symbolism and culture.
I offer layaway on most items purchased for full retail price. In general my layaway terms are 1/3 down and 1/3 in 30 days and the last 1/3 in 60 days.

Georgian Opal Pearl Ring in 15k Gold
$ 1,280.00
Opals have been used in jewelry as far back as 4000 BC, in Kenya. The ancient Romans regarded the opal as the most powerful gemstone, as a single stone could hold every color of every jewel. It’s hard to argue their logic, every time I’ve worn this ring I’ve felt unstoppable. They called it ‘opalus’, meaning ‘precious stone’. Arabic legends say that opals came down from the heavens with the lightening, falling to earth. I’ve never witnessed this event up close, but who am I to deny such a beautiful and beguiling tale?
This antique pearl and opal gold ring was handcrafted in England around 1830, during the late Georgian or Regency era. A pear-shaped bezel-set precious opal sits at the center of 17 round, half cut pearls, set in 15 karat gold with a closed back mount. The fiery white opal radiates colors of orange, pink, yellow, green, and blue. It measures 9.3 x 7.3 mm. Each of the pearls measure 2 mm in diameter. It’s an elegant piece with decorative shoulders that split into four sections, meeting just more than halfway down the shank. The ring face measures 18.4 x 15.6 x 6.3 mm off the finger and the band width is 5.3 mm at the back. There are no hallmarks and it has been acid tested. Inside the ring, behind the face, are a set of inscribed initials, “J. R”. This beguiling ring is a size 7.75 and weighs 5.7 grams.
“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. The play-of-color in precious opals is caused by the diffraction of light that bounces between the silica spheres that are stacked like microscopic marbles in a box.

Georgian Silver Paste Pendant Flower Basket Tear Drop Old Cut Pastes
Sold Out - $ 980.00
Crafting paste dates back to Ancient Roman times when makers wanted to imitate emeralds and lapis lazuli. It was in the Georgian Era though, the era in which this brilliant pendant was made, that paste’s popularity soared. Georges Frederic Strass was the brainchild behind high-quality paste. It was such an intriguing and valuable product, it was worn at court in both England and France, and could easily be mistaken for the real thing, as it glittered brilliantly in candle light. The finest jewelry establishments carried paste, certifying it as fashionable and beautiful.
This Georgian-era silver paste pendant was handcrafted in England around 1780. It showcases a drop bow and flower basket motif smothered in round faceted pastes, each hand cut to resemble a cushion cut diamond. This pendant measures 63 x 34 mm and weighs 10.8 grams. It bears no marks and has been acid tested.
The likes of Marie Antoinette, Queen Elizabeth I, Madame du Barry, and King Charles III and IV were known for donning paste. The making of paste was artwork in its own right, and this pendant proves it.

Georgian Silver Witches Heart Brooch Pin Citrine Maltese Cross
$ 980.00
The witches heart 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 early 19th century, the meaning had changed somewhat and these hearts were often given as tokens of love, to indicated that the wearer had ‘bewitched’ the giver!
This fabulous Georgian Witches heart brooch is set with a rectangular citrine gem in silver. It was hand crafted in England or possibly Scotland around 1820 and has a lively fiery glint and unusual Maltese cross at the top.

Georgian Swiss Enamel Portrait Earrings
$ 950.00
I consider myself a ‘fine’ jewelry dealer and as such I tend to stick pretty tightly to my rule of only purchasing jewelry made from precious metals. However, every once in a while a piece comes along which provides a wonderful exception to the rule. These fantastic Swiss enamel earrings are the perfect example. The beauty and craftsmanship of these richly worked earrings puts the ‘fine’ back into them, despite them being made only in pinchbeck.
These exquisitely done earrings were hand crafted in Switzerland around 1830. They are decorated with frames of black and white and each features a lovely lady, in fact I rather think that they both feature the same lovely lady, one of her dressed in a traditional outfit for Daytime and the other one of her dressed up for Nighttime, in a sense they are ‘night and day’ earrings. Lovely and long, these earrings measure 65.9 mm north to south and 22.6 mm across, together they weigh 10.1 grams. They bear no marks and have been acid tested.

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.
