Georgian Jewelry

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!

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.

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.

Lost in history, bound in myth. That’s what I always think when come across very old things like this fantastic carved carnelian intaglio seal.

Then again, you might have noticed that I’m never adverse to making up their stories for myself.

He finished his letter with a flourished signature and folded it into thirds, then he patiently while the wax dripped onto the outer fold. When the pool of red sealing wax was large enough, he blew on it once to see how liquid it was and then, satisfied it was the right viscosity, he pressed his seal into it, letting it linger a moment before removing it. The message on the inside conveyed his dearest desire for peace, for unity, and the seal he used drove the message home.

This fantastic Georgian era seal was hand carved and hand crafted around 1820, in England. It is engraved with two birds sitting on a leafy tree branch and the word ‘UNITED’ above them.

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.

A Message From Victoria: Hi everyone! If you visit my site often, you might note that I usually have a story to tell about my pieces. Well, I’ve accumulated a backlog of items and I’m too excited to get them to you to stop and write tales. So, I’m going to go with the idea that a picture is worth a thousand words. Don’t worry though, I’ll get back to my usual descriptions soon. Watch this space!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

She wore this brooch much like a man wears a watch. With confidence and a touch of charm. She was debonair in her gaze as she ordered a coffee, black, and patiently waited. She munched on a croissant drizzled in honey as she walked around the city, in her high heels and dark red lipstick, perfectly aware of how sleek a touch of black and gold can look.  

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.

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. This piece bears no marks but has been acid tested at 15 karat gold. This wonderful fob seal is a token of man’s best friend.

Queen Victoria was known for owning her own greyhounds back in the day.

This unique locket-backed pendant has a lot of charm! It was hand crafted in the Georgian era of 18 karat gold and agate and is set with a lovely turquoise cross at the front. The reverse is a locket containing a small portrait under beveled glass. This wonderful heart shaped pendant measures 24.5 mm from top to bottom and 19.9 mm across, it’s 8.5 mm thick. This unusual piece was made in about 1830, probably in England, and weighs 4.6 grams.

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.

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. The citrine is closed backed and has a small hanger at the top, it could be worn as a pendant. This stunning piece is on the larger side, measuring 70 mm north to south and 48.6 mm across, the citrine measures 7.5 x 9.3 mm.

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.

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.
