Georgian Garnet Black Enamel Gold Memorial Ring

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!

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.

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.” 

This antique Victorian pearl and diamond mourning ring was handcrafted in 15 karat gold around 1840. 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. This ring is a lovely size 7 and weighs in at 2.8 grams. This piece measures 13 north to south and 11.65 across, it sits 4.5 mm off the hand. 

Feel free to make this ring a symbol of celebration in your life!

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.
