1940s Baroque Pearl and Gemstone Rooster Brooch in 18 Karat Gold
$ 14,000.00
Here is a wonderful and cheeky rooster who is beautifully hand crafted. The body of the bird is created from a large, natural, Baroque Pearl. His tail is set with a spray of rubies, diamonds and sapphires; and his head is further set with rubies, sapphires and emeralds. The brooch is fully engraved with fanciful and realistic details down to the toes on its perfect little feet.
This piece is marked on the back of the leg, but I was not able to make these marks out. It was most likely made in France in the 1940s, at a time when these brooches were highly desirable and created by many of the important jewelry houses. Buccellati, Cartier, Yard and Tiffany all crafted brooches in this genre, many with a pearl as the central body of the animal. It's quite possible this brooch was created by one of these important houses. It's beautifully crafted, note how the back is left open to reveal the back of this magnificent, 60 carat natural pearl.
The body of this piece tests as 18 karat gold and the diamonds are set in platinum. The pin stem has a trombone style clasp. The brooch measures 55 x 53x 17 mm and weighs 21.56 grams.
This piece has been expertly appraised by an independent appraiser and has a value of $15,000. Please inquire for a full copy of the detailed appraisal.

My heart belongs to the Roaring Twenties. Between F. Scott Fitzgerald, T.S. Eliot, Louis Armstrong, and the Charleston, I know I was born decades too late.

Antique 50 inch Long Guard Chain Necklace in 18k Gold with Fancy Links
$ 8,250.00
Banking is a relatively new idea. Before the 19th century most people wore their wealth. The original idea of the chain, for example, was that you could pay for something by taking a link off of your chain, be it gold or silver. Precious metal has always equalled money, it was a good idea then and it remains a good idea today. Now, I wouldn't recommend paying for your Moët with a link off of this gorgeous French chain, but I suppose you could if you had to!
Honestly, everyone really needs to own one of these long gold chains. Preferable two or three, if you can swing it, but if you're limited to one, this one is a particularly good place to start. Intricate, glowing links with the feel of soft silk that only old gold seems to achieve. This chain is completely hand made of large fancy links with a round links between teardrop links framed with intermittent small plain links. Each link is individually hand soldered and the chain has a matching large round spring ring clasp which attaches to both ends and would originally have been used to hang a watch. The chain is 50 inches long and tests as 18 karat gold. This chain was likely made around 1900. The chain weighs 46.9 grams.
These chains are getting harder and harder to come by as many were broken up into several shorter lengths over time. It's always a treat when I find an original old long guard like this one!

They wed in the woods with only the closest of friends and family. Her dress was of lace with crystals and pearls scattered within the fabric. She looked like a moonbeam, graceful and light.

We sat at an outdoor café in Cannes, while dining on butter cake and scotch. It was the perfect weather, mid 60’s, light breeze. I wore a simple white silk wrap dress with a chain wrapped around my neck in layers. I waved to Hirokazu Kore'eda. He waved back.
‘You know him?’
‘Seems that way.’
I took a sip, admiring the thespians and writers scrambling around the town. There was talk about having to wear heels and gowns and jewels just to be allowed in the festivities.
‘It’s a bit much, wouldn’t you say, Victoria?’
‘I would say. But I got away with it.’

Antique French Diamond Ring, Art Nouveau in 18k & Platinum

She was in love with Art Nouveau, with the whiplash lines, the organic feel. She had purchased a property at 29 Avenue Rapp, in the 7th arrondissement in Paris.

She was meeting today with Jules Aimé Lavirotte, who designed buildings with exuberant and imaginative decoration, buildings that spoke to the artist in her soul. She wore this ring, she knew he would love it. He did.
This Art Nouveau ring would be called Edwardian if it was English; not at all an ugly name, though perhaps a bit masculine for describing this light and airy style.

Antique Garnet Cabochon Snake Earrings and Matching Pendant Demi-Parure in 15k Gold
$ 5,880.00
A parure is a set of various items of matching jewelry which rose to popularity in 17th-century Europe. Reserved for royalty and the wealthier classes, no woman was considered socially acceptable without a complete wardrobe of jewelry that defined her status, strength and political power. A matching suite of coordinating pieces could include a necklace, a comb, a tiara, a diadem, a bandeau, a pair of bracelets, pins, rings, drop earrings or cluster stud earrings, brooch and a belt clasp that might be worn over a fine dress. Napoleon was fond of lavishing these gem suites on his beloved first wife, Joséphine, to wear at state functions. Later, he gave similar sets to his second wife, Marie-Louise. From the Old French, "parer" means adornment, from the verb parer, to adorn.

Antique Pre-Revolutionary Russian 3ct Sapphire and Diamond Bracelet in 14k Gold and Platinum
$ 28,890.00
In March of 2012, workers restoring a building in St. Petersburg found a hoard of over 1,000 pieces of silver, jewelry and precious objects hidden in a secret storage space between two floors. The items were wrapped in newspaper that dated from the early months of 1917, around the time of the February Revolution which toppled the last Tsar of Russia, Nicholas II. The building was a palace which had belonged to one of Russia’s most prominent noble families, the Naryshkins.
As World War I pushed Russia to the brink of it’s resources, and it’s large army was led to ruinous battles by a lack of leadership, the Russian ruble was driven into deep recession and the Russian people were driven into starvation. In March of 1917, the Tsar was overthrown and forced to abdicate and the nobility of Russia fled to other parts of the world or were imprisoned or sent to Siberia. Tsar Nicholas and his family were taken away and eventually detained in a house in Yekaterinburg where they were brutally murdered in the basement in the wee hours of July 17, 1918. When the bodies were searched, the guards found jewelry, gems, and strings of pearls sewn into their clothing.
This fantastic bracelet was made in Russia in about 1914, only a few years before the Revolution. Was it made for nobility? Did it ride out of Russia in the early days of 1917 sewn into the lining of a fur coat? Was it discovered hidden in a wall or under a floor, dug up by an unsuspecting farmer? I don’t know, I don’t guess we’ll ever know. I purchased it in London from a lovely lady who purchased it in Poland. It’s probably gone through more than a few hands since it’s creation, graced more than a few wrists.
This fabulous bracelet was hand crafted by a master craftsman and is bezel set with a fabulous bright blue antique cushion cut, 3 carat natural sapphire which shows no signs of enhancement. The stone weight was estimated in the mounting. It is further set with 18 full cut and 48 rose cut diamonds which add up to approximately 3.12 carats total weight. This piece is fully hallmarked with Russian marks and these marks indicate it’s metal fineness at 14 karat gold, the stones are set in platinum. The gold has a rosy hue, the metals were also acid tested to verify content. This bracelet is 7 inches long and weighs 15.6 grams. The overall face measures 46.1 mm from north to south and narrows to 3 mm wide at the back. There is a slot catch with safety clasp. This piece comes with a full appraisal and is valued at $45,000, it also includes an AGL certification which reports that the sapphire is unheated and untreated and is Ceylon in origin.
This fantastic Russian beauty makes me wish (not for the first time) that jewelry could talk. What a tale it would have to tell. If you feel you need a mesmerizing jewel with an important past that you can wear for now and sew into the lining of your yoga pants if the Bolsheviks should rise up yet again, this stunning bracelet would certainly be an excellent choice!

Antique Victorian 1.2ct Diamond Belcher Set Engagement Ring
$ 8,450.00
They were in the basement of a wine shop down a narrow alley-way in Paris. It was nearing midnight as they tasted their third glass of wine, this one from the French Auvergne region. Her cheeks were rosy and his eyes were all over her, her dark blonde hair, scattered freckles, and adorably wide grin. They talked about the wine, pretending to know anything about it, using words like lacing, woody, and unctuous. They were celebrating one year of being together and thought that touring The City of Lights sounded delicious and decadent. She was telling him a story about getting lost in Paris when she visited years back. He was listening intently as he pulled a small red ring box from his jacket pocket. She slowly stopped speaking, letting her sentence end in the middle, as speechlessness took her over. She watched him open the box and then he said, “I want to marry you. Will you do me the honor?” Her eyes dashed back and forth between his blue irises, blissful. She said yes so loudly the manager came down to make sure they were all right. He slid the ring on her finger, as she gazed at it in utter amazement. Their host brought them a complimentary bottle, this one from the Alsace region. A little while later, the newly engaged couple walked to their hotel room, hand in hand, cheek to cheek, watching as her ring captured and reflected every light in the city.

Antique Victorian 5 Stone Diamond Ring 18k Gold
$ 9,980.00
Old cut diamonds can be dangerous. The more of them you see, the more of them you desire to own. Whereas modern brilliant cut diamonds can be nice and sparkly, old European cuts like these are more like individual works of art. Stones like these were hand cut by craftsmen who spent decades learning their craft. These cutters used no computers, no lasers, they used their eyes, their experience and their hands, often cutting with tools they had made themselves. The result is a diamond with a uniqueness of character that simply cannot be found in todays modern cut stones. This ring showcases five old European cut diamonds with large cut facets that cause it to flash with slow and stunning sparks of colorful fire.
This beautifully hand crafted 5 stone diamond ring is set with a stunning array of sparkling gems. The five larger stones are all old European cut diamonds, the center weighs approximately .75 carats and the close sides are about .45 carats each, the outside two are approximately .2 carats each. In between each larger diamond are rose cut diamonds to give the ring the look of a solid line of sparkling diamond. The diamond weight on this ring totals approximately 2.1 carats. This ring measures 5.7 mm north to south and 20 mm across, it sits 4.4 mm off the finger. This ring is a size 4.75 and weighs 3.1 grams. The ring is made of 18 karat gold and bears no hallmarks, it has been acid tested to verify the gold content.
This gorgeous ring was most likely made in England around 1890.

Antique Victorian 5 Stone Ruby and Diamond Ring in 18k Gold - Natural Rubies
Sold Out - $ 7,000.00
She wore rubies. Not diamonds, no nothing as pedestrian as that. Not sapphires, for though they had appeal she knew in her heart of hearts that she was a rare gem indeed and only the most rare and sought after was good enough for her. So, she sought out that most elusive castle in the air, the pure and untreated ruby, a stone that was pulled from the ground with this color, already so fiery it seemed hot to the touch. This was her ring.
Rubies this exceptional do not cross my path (or anyone else's for that matter) every day, so when I had this one in my hand and it was hit by the early morning light through the conservatory roof, well, I about fell out of my chair! Five all natural and amazing rubies are set into a traditional five stone ring studded with rose cut diamonds. This style of ring with it’s wonderful richly carved sides and shoulders was very popular in the late Victorian era. These stones are truly stunning, they are a true bright red in color, rich and deep and they are wonderfully cut and faceted to catch the light and turn it the brightest, deepest red. Looking at these you can truly understand why this stone is sometimes referred to as 'pigeon's blood'.
Handcrafted in 18 karat yellow gold in about 1900, this ring would surely have belonged to someone quite important, most likely it was even custom made for this important someone (who may well have been a man or a woman). It is in excellent condition and the stones all appear to be original and beautifully matched. I estimated the total weight of the rubies in the mount at 2.2 carats. The center stone is measured at 6.1x4.5x2.2 mm and weighs about .6 carats, the next two are .55 each and the end stones about .25 carats each. These appear to be natural, untreated Burma rubies. The full appraised value of this ring is $8,000 USD. Untreated rubies are rare and knowing that these gorgeous stones came out of the ground just as they are with no enhancements gives this ring an extra layer of cachet, a quality noticeable even to the untrained eye.
The ring is a size 6.5 US and measures 7.2 mm north to south and 19 mm across, it weighs 6 grams. It would be difficult to re-size this ring up or down by very much, if you’re curious let me know your size and I’ll ask my jeweler if it can be done. It is marked with '18ct'.
This would make a very meaningful and unusual engagement ring. When I have it on my finger, I find it simply impossible to take my eyes off of it. Perhaps she's got a sentimental streak? Rubies have been associated with love and matters of the heart throughout the ages.

Antique Victorian Amethyst Necklace Ring Earrings Set
$ 5,092.00 $ 5,990.00
Leonardo Da Vinci attributed amethysts to the power of intelligence. He thought the stone had the ability to dissipate evil thoughts. Until the 18th century, amethysts were considered a cardinal gemstone, they were as valuable as diamonds, sapphires, rubies, and emeralds. For centuries, amethysts adorned the heads and fingers of British and Russian royalty, as well as clergyman.
This elegant antique Edwardian amethyst and gold three-piece set was handcrafted around 1900. This set bears French import marks including the owl hallmark, and was likely made in England. This 18 karat gold set contains a solitaire ring, a set of stud earrings, and a matching gradient necklace.
The ring is a size 4.25 with the amethyst weighing approximately 2.74 carats. The oval amethyst measures 10 x 8.2 x 6.3 mm and the ring face measures 12 x 10 x 6.3 mm off the finger. The band width is 2.1 mm at the back.
The set of earrings boast a total of two oval amethysts, totaling an approximate weight of 1.74 carats. Individually, each earring measures 9 x 7.5 x 4.5 mm.
The gradient necklace measures 14.5 inches in length and contains a safety chain for extra protection. It features 26 oval faceted stones set in 18 karat gold. The largest amethyst measures 9.5 x 12.5 x 7.3 mm and weighs approximately 4.95 carats while the smallest amethyst measures 5.4 x 6.6 x 3 mm and weighs approximately .57 carats.
My strong suspicion is that the earrings and ring were once part of the necklace and were taken off and crafted into additional accessories. If requested, these pieces could become part of the necklace again. This set weighs a total of 33.9 grams. Each piece has been professionally acid tested.
Fun fact: Valentine, the patron saint of romance is said to have worn an amethyst ring that bore a carved motif of Cupid.

'All of Nature’s splendor seems to be reflected in the manifold opulence of fine Opals: fire and lightnings, all the colors of the rainbow and the soft shine of far seas.

He offered his jacket when the wind picked up. He even asked if she wanted a piggy back ride over a puddle. She chuckled at his suggestion, and he said he only had one more question.

Arts & Crafts Opal Gold Brooch Pin by Henry George Murphy
$ 5,800.00
The Arts and Crafts movement in England began as a response to the Industrial Revolution and the mechanization of the decorative arts. It bloomed into one of the most enduring legacies of style to come out of the 19th and 20th centuries. Something about the return to hand crafting and the motifs of the natural world speaks to the very root of human nature.
This wonderful brooch was handcrafted in London around 1900-10, and was most likely done by Henry George Murphy. Anchored by a beautiful large opal gem, this brooch is framed in 15 karat gold with a scroll and foliate design. This rectangular brooch holds a large cabochon precious opal which measures 30 x 20 x 7 mm and weighs approximately 23 carats. 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. Overall, this piece measures 39.7 x 27.6 mm and it weighs 60.8 grams. It has been acid tested. This brooch comes in an antique box which reads, “Gieves 27 Old Bond Street London, W.I.”, most likely it’s not original to the brooch but it has kept it in good order over the years.
Henry George Murphy was part of the Central School of Arts and Crafts in London and later went on to become a silversmith of some renown, working mostly in the Art Deco style.
For all occasions and even non-occasions. This brooch is sheer perfection, it gives off color no matter where you are.

Edwardian Diamond Emerald Ring Platinum Cluster
$ 9,800.00
There’s a joke about Wisconsin that goes like this: “Welcome to Wisconsin, where we have two seasons, Winter and ‘the other season’ ”. It’s true, winters here do seem to drag on a little too long and take up half the year. And while the winter here is beautiful I find that every once in while I have to hop on a plane and land somewhere (anywhere) lush and green. Just filling my eyes with the rich greens of the tropics does wonders for getting me through until May when the green starts edging back into my landscape. And in between trips to green places, I just pop on a ring like this, I find that a luscious emerald has the same effect on my psyche as a nice long walk in the jungle.
This fantastic diamond and emerald cluster ring showcases an Emerald cut emerald which measures 11.3 x 7 x 4.5 mm and weighs approximately 2.46 carats. The emerald is surrounded with a rectangular frame of Old European Cut diamonds; ten diamonds of .15 carats each are interspersed with twenty smaller .02 carat stones for a total diamond weight of approximately 2 carats.

This ring measures 18.8 mm north to south and 14.4 mm across and it sits 5.6 mm off the finger.

The ring is a size 6.75 and weighs 5.8 grams.

Even in twilight her eyes glowed. Together, they sat and sipped, and talked, and laughed. It was around midnight, as the sky turned to black, that he asked her for her hand. She said yes.

Georgian Pink Topaz Cross Pendant Brooch with Pearl and Turquoise
$ 8,800.00
The Georgian Era saw quite a few upheavals in fashion and culture in its 100 + year history. Topaz was a popular gemstone throughout the era, along with garnets, emeralds, rubies, pearls, and turquoise. Crosses and crucifixes were also in favor. Many gemstones were still foil-backed while Old Mine cut diamonds were just beginning to be open-backed. The end of this era saw intricate designs with metal smiths using twisted gold wire in foliate designs called cannetille work, this was a style choice made to make the piece pop with just one glance. This beautiful cross is an excellent example of this craftsmanship. Gemstones were worn by the upper echelons of society, and primarily by royalty. Ladies of the time would wear a suite of matching jewelry. If a lady was to wear this cross as a pendant, she’d likely have matching earrings with dangling pink topaz and a bracelet as well.
This Georgian antique gold cross pendant and brooch was handcrafted in England around 1820.
