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 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.

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.
These rare jewels have such amazing light and movement, they promise not to go unnoticed!

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.

Georgian 15k Gold Turquoise Hair Memorial Ring Grapes
$ 1,580.00
In Victorian times the symbol of Grapes was often a symbol of Christ and of the Christian Faith. This ring features a bunch of grapes, represented by bright blue Persian Turquoise, set onto a branch which is made up of a ribbon of beautifully engraved 15 karat gold wrapped around a tube of woven hair. Before photographs, having the hair of a loved one was a strong and powerful reminder of that person and was often used in memorial jewelry and art, even ground up and used to paint miniatures and memorial scenes.
This wonderful late Georgian or early Victorian ring was hand crafted around 1830-50 in England. It is set with 6 turquoises of about 6mm and one smaller 1 mm stone. The ring itself measures 8.1 mm north to south and 20 mm across at the face, it sits 4.5 mm off the finger and narrows to 2.6 mm at the back of the band.

Georgian Amethyst Rose Cut Diamond Ring
$ 1,850.00
A ring like this one was likely the first jewel that would be worn when a Goeorgian lady was moving out of the first year of mourning, purple was the first color that could be introduced after wearing all black for a year, and along with white and gray, could be added in little splashes, like this fabulous ring.
This hand crafted ring was made in England in about 1830, it is set with one step cut rich purple amethyst which has been out and weighed at 2.36 carats, it measures 91.x7.6x4.9 mm, on each side of the center stone are two rose cut diamonds with fabulous sparkle, 2 are 3 mm and 2 are 3.5 mm each.

This ring is unmarked but tests as 15 karat gold and the diamonds are set in silver, it weighs 2.6 grams.
This Georgian Dame got a little new life breathed into her old bones of late, she was in rough shape when we found her, so we opened up the back and removed the discolored foil, we left the bezel open, this way it can be worn and enjoyed and cleaned! We think we dusted her up pretty good!

ITEM ID: RGA24219VA
Georgian Black Enamel Pearl Diamond Memorial Brooch Pin in 15k Gold
$ 960.00
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.

Georgian Blackamoor Fob Seal Pendant 'Power of Love'
$ 1,200.00
His guests were gathered around him in the library, listening to his addicting stories, tales full of wonder. He told of long dry African safaris and escaping lionesses. He told of riding energetic elephants in the rain in Thailand. She was small enough to hide behind the velvet settee, so she could watch her father speak. She would survey the crowd as they gasped and ooh-ed and ahh-ed. When her father was away on his long business trips, he would write long letters to her. She would check the mail every morning, looking for the envelope with her name. It was always closed with a giant wax seal impressed by the carnelian fob he always wore, and it always had tales of adventures inside.
This antique Georgian Intaglio seal fob was handcrafted around 1830 in England. This blackamoor seal boasts a carved carnelian featuring a Coat of Arms with the Latin phrase, “VIRTUTIS AMORE”, meaning “power of love”.

Georgian Carnelian Gold Fob Seal Pendant with Gold Split Ring
$ 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. He probably had a grand mustache and a bicorn hat, and enjoyed reading Chaucer by his fireplace after a long night of writing in cursive and secret code.
This antique Georgian gold fob was handcrafted in England, around 1820. It’s a beautiful example with the addition of a wonderful gold split ring at the top. It is set with a wonderfully carved carnelian stone which features a family crest with the motto ‘In Ardua Virtus’ which is Latin for ‘Virtue in the Face of Difficulties’. The fob is completely hand crafted with exquisite attention to detail and it measures 48 mm top to bottom including the split ring and 23.8 mm across from north to south, the stone itself measures 19.4 x 18.3 mm. This early example is unmarked but acid tests as 15 karat gold, it weighs 20.2 grams.
I adore these fob seals, as you can see when you explore my lane! They’re filled with mystery and history, I just can’t get enough!

Georgian Chalcedony Fob Seal Pendant Memorial Weeping Willow
$ 1,780.00
The Weeping Willow, a tree unto which we have attached the human condition. For, does a willow truly weep? Does it wail always, stuck in a perpetual sadness? Perhaps the Georgians (and later the Victorians) truly thought it did, they certainly used it often in their art as deeply symbolic of grief and sorry, perpetually bent over a grave or urn, perpetually mourning.
This amazing and quite large fob is set with a beautifully carved seal showing a weeping willow; it is bent over a plaque carved with the initials ‘HB’, while a dove with a branch in it’s mouth flies nearby. The mount for this gorgeous seal is beauty in simplicity, a simple yet striking one done in solid 9 karat gold. The large carved seal is done in white chalcedony and measures 30x26.3 mm, the fob overall sits 45 mm high, the face measures 33.5 x 29 mm, it weighs 10 grams. This unmarked piece has been acid tested for purity.
This large fob would look great on a chain or even a ribbon, but put it on a great old watch chain and you’ll really have something that will garner compliments and start conversations.

A cherub riding a swan as he looks to the horizon through his scope. The swan carries a letter for him, perhaps it is a Valentine?
This wonderful hand carved and hand crafted seal dates to the Georgian era. Housed in a 15 karat gold casing, this intricately carved carnelian intaglio seal is bright and very cheeky.

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. Perhaps she commissioned this little portrait for her husband, so that he could gaze upon her visage at will? I guess we’ll never know for certain, but I was charmed by her wiles and I think you might be, too!
Handcrafted in about 1820, this early locket features and enamel portrait in miniature on its front and an elaborately engraved engine turned design to its reverse. The locket measures 37.8 top to bottom and 28 mm across and it weighs 9.3 grams. This piece has no marks but we’ve carefully acid tested it and it comes up as 18 karat gold. I purchased this lovely locket in France and I suspect it was made there as well.

Georgian Engraved Silver Gilt Wedding Band Ring
$ 880.00
Only the Georgian era could accomplish such a feat, and with such modesty, too. One of a pair that I found on a recent foray to London, it’s the type of Instagram-worthy band that steals second glances and causes temporary speechlessness. It’s almost as if it was deliberate, a two-hundred-year old plan plotted with meticulous detail and raging success. Go ahead, show it off, I insist.
This fabulous Georgian silver gilt band was handcrafted around 1790-1800. A simple band with beautiful patterned engraving that encircles the entire ring, it is also adorned with four hand carved flowers that look to my eye a bit like a thistle in bloom from above! This impressive antique band is a size 9.5 and weighs 7.6 grams. The ring face measures 9 mm wide all the way around and sits 1.9 mm off the finger. It has been professionally acid tested for metal content, and it bears the date mark, “13” and another unidentifiable mark on the outside of the band, and was likely made on the continent.

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 Flat Cut Garnet and Pearl Cross
$ 1,850.00
In 1781, the British Army, led by Lord Charles Cornwallis, surrendered to George Washington at Yorktown in Virginia. It was October, 1871, the woods around Yorktown must have been bright with the oranges and reds of a Virginia Autumn as they rang with musket-fire. When the women came out to help the wounded, one or more of them may have been wearing a ring just like this one.
Hand crafted around 1780, this fantastic cross is set with six flat cut garnets set in 12 karat gold. It is further set with four natural river pearls. All of the garnets are deeply set with closed backs and care should be taken to keep this cross dry as the foil behind the stones can rust if it gets very wet. The stones average 7.5x6.5 mm and the cross overall measures 51.1 mm from top to bottom and 34.8 mm across. I couldn’t tell you where this one was made, I purchased it in London and it’s possible that it’s English in origin. This cross weighs 4.5 grams, it is unmarked but has been carefully acid tested.
This early cross is a real beauty and is loaded with history!

Georgian Intaglio Fob Seal Pendant Carnelian Wheat Sheaf
$ 340.00

Georgian Maltese Cross Pendant Chalcedony 15k Gold
Sold Out - $ 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 Ring Skull Hair Memorial Black Enamel
$ 3,880.00
In the Georgian Era Death was always nearby, always just around the corner. It was a time when women and babies routinely died during childbirth, a time before antibiotics, when an infection from a simple cut would kill you if you didn’t cut off the limb in time. It was a time when diseases ran rampant, when they bled you to let out the sickness, when the ideas of germs or the simple act of washing hands were virtually unknown. It’s really not a wonder then, that at a time when just living was a bit more of an everyday miracle, people embraced Death in a very different way.
A ring like this one is called a Memento Mori, it’s Latin for ‘Remember that you must die’. Set with the hair of the deceased to keep a piece of them near; at a time when you weren’t left with photos or videos of your loved one. This ring is also set with a tiny skull, just to drive home the point. Remember that you must die.
This fantastic Grand Damme of a memorial ring is set with hair and a small skull under a dome of crystal. The top of the ring is done in 18 karat gold with stunning geometric black enamel accents, the band of the ring is 9 karat gold. This mix of metals is not unusual for the time that this ring was made, as jewelers worked with whatever they had on hand, precious metals weren’t so easy to come by. This is a large-scale ring, it measures 19.3 mm north to south and 18.5 mm across at the face, and narrows to 5 mm at the back of the band. The ring is a size 9.25 US and weighs 6.1 grams.
This hand crafted ring was made around 1780, almost certainly in England. Care should be taken when wearing this 240 year old ring, it should be kept dry and treated gently.

ITEM ID: RGA23955VA
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.

Georgian Pearl Hair Memorial Ring Dated 1801
$ 890.00
I held my coffee mug, cupped between my hands, staring at an array of rings in a stall on Portobello Road. My eyes grazed over each one, exploring the silvers and the golds, analyzing the diamonds and the emeralds. I’d seen them all before, there was nothing that tempted me. The seller had a peculiar look in her eyes, so I stared her down, and raised a brow. She gave me a wink and went into the back. A minute later she returned with a display of only one piece. This piece.
This Georgian memorial ring was handcrafted in England in 1801. It was made in 18 karat gold and showcases woven hair at the center surrounded by 18 pearls on an oval-shaped ring face. The inside of the band has been inscribed, “Ann Hutton Ob 10 Dec 1801 Age 60”. This ring weighs 4.2 grams and is a size 9. The ring face measures 12.7 north to south, 16 across and sits 3.3 mm off the finger, it narrows to 4.2 mm at the back of the band. There are no marks and it has been acid tested.
Who was this Miss Hutton? I’d really like to know. My curious nature and wanderer’s soul has been a bit restless over this ring. It’s a beautiful antique piece, with at least another two hundred years’ worth of life.

Georgian Silver Gilt and Carnelian Fob Seal Pendant
$ 320.00
This delightfully carved intaglio seal features a Lilly of the Valley blossom surrounded by the words "La Candeur", which translates from the French as "The Pure" or "The Innocent". Often used to represent children during Georgian and Victorian times, the lily of the valley motif and the use of this phrase indicate that this fob belong to someone who was involved with their care, protection and well being. The fine hand carving of the intaglio is done in a richly colored piece of carnelian, and is set into an ornate silver gilt fob that would make a wonderful and unusual pendant. Most likely this intaglio was purchased on the continent during a Grand Tour and brought back to England to be set into this silver gilt fob around the year 1820.
A wonderfully sentimental piece, and quite the conversation starter, this fob measures 21.7 x 13.2 x 15.5 mm and weighs 4.4 grams. While it is unmarked, this sterling silver fob has been professionally acid tested for metal purity. Though a light gold gilt finish is still visible, this layer is to light to be tested.

Georgian Silver Witches Heart Brooch Pin Citrine Maltese Cross
$ 980.00

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.

Lovely Georgian Garnet Drop Earrings in 15k Gold
$ 2,280.00
I simply can’t help it, garnet jewelry is too handsome to resist! I found these gems in London, a city as addictive as the jewelry found within. This unique pair of earrings goes great with an aged bottle of red wine and wood-oven baked margarita pizza. Invite the whole town, let your hair down, and dance to some vintage vinyl.
These fantastic earrings were hand crafted in the late Georgian era, around 1830, and are set with garnets which are full cut but very shallow, showing their flat cut-roots.

These stones have a fabulous rich red color and are foil backed to reflect maximum light. These lovelies come in the old box that I bought them in, although I don’t think it’s original to these earrings. The earrings measure 15 mm from top to bottom and 3.4 mm wide, the weigh 5.6 grams. These unmarked beauties have been acid tested to verify their gold content.
These glorious beauties are some of my favorites; I think they give you that extra bit of flair!

Lovely Georgian Pear Shaped Vinaigrette Locket Pendant Sterling Silver
$ 980.00
When this gorgeous little Vinaigrette was made the streets of London, and really of any big city in Europe, were unpaved and trodden by horses. Horses that pooped. A lot. What was a lady to do when the streets were constantly offensive to ones sense of smell? Well, they had one of these, a Vinaigrette, a small trinket that was made to hold a sponge soaked with perfume. A lady would open it up and breath in a much improved scent. We don’t have these problems with horse paddies as much today, but there’s many a time on a subway in Manhattan at rush hour that I wouldn’t have minded having a Vinaigrette handy!
This Georgian beauty was hand crafted in sterling silver in the shape of pear. It is 34 mm high and 18 mm across at the widest part. Inside is a small cavity with a silver grate which would have held the sponge. The pendant was originally hallmarked but it’s gotten warn and the marks are no longer legible. This wonderful piece has been carefully acid tested for purity and weighs 4.7 grams.
Hand made in England in about 1820.

These brooches were part of the historical crown and heart motif which also birthed the claddagh ring design. They were usually given as a love token or a betrothal gift, the two hearts intertwining symbolized a lasting union. I was thrilled when I came across this fabulous large pair on my last trip to London, and was even more happier when I saw the early hallmark, dating this wonderful piece to the early years of the Victorian era.
These wonderful, early antique silver Luckenbooth brooches were handcrafted in Scotland, in about 1780. They bear minimalistic engraving overtop overlapping hearts topped with a crown. The brooches are hand crafted and so while I suspect they are a matched pair, they are very slightly different in size. One of the brooches measures 72 mm high and 52.2 mm across, the other measure 68.8 mm top to bottom and 51 mm across at the widest point, together they weigh 55.4 grams. These early beauties are unmarked and have been tested as silver.
These enduring silver tokens of romance were doubtlessly made as a wedding pair and they would make an excellent gift for a bride and groom.
