NEW ARRIVALS

Symbolism was powerful to the Victorians. With strict rules of society and culture they had to express themselves in non-verbal ways, like through art, music and literature. When it came to jewelry, symbolism and creativity were combined. This faith, hope, and charity brooch was a popular motif during the Victorian era. We have the cross, a traditional symbol indicative of faith, the heart, a symbol reaching back thousands of years, which is representative of charity and last but not least, there’s the anchor; long associated with sailors at sea, it indicates hope and steadfastness. A sailor hopes to land an anchor in a safe place after a long journey.

This silver gilt brooch was handcrafted in Birmingham, England in 1900. It’s a late Victorian brooch that features the traditional cross, heart, and anchor motif set on a crescent. It also spells out the words, “Faith Hope Charity”. This antique pin measures 41.5 x 21 mm and weighs 2.8 grams. It bears the assay mark for Birmingham, the lion mark for sterling, the date letter, “a” for 1900, and the maker’s mark, “P&T”.

A faith, hope, and charity accessory was typically gifted by sweethearts, from mothers to children, or between sisters.

They were ice skating in November as the weather had turned cold early that year. Snowflakes fell lightly around them, just enough to dust the sky and make the night a little brighter. She was spiraling and performing forward crossovers while all he could achieve was a figure eight. She skated across the pond and stopped at his side, grinning. He asked what the smile was for. That’s when she threw a snowball at him and promptly ran away to the other side of the frozen water. He made his way toward her, hand behind his back, and she laughed as he said he had something for her. She knew it would be his retaliation. That’s when he popped open a box with a ring inside, a ring with a ruby surrounded in diamonds and gold. That’s when she said yes.

If there were a piece of jewelry that defined versatility, it would be the chain. I like to wrap mine around and around the wrist to create the look of a layered cuff.

We sat beneath the maple trees at dusk, surrounded by larkspur and the bluest of blue skies that matched the ring on my finger. She and I sipped on lavender lemonade and we leaned back in our Adirondack chairs, watching the sun crawl across the sky. This ring matched the mood of laidback elegance; it was lively yet serene. The clouds changed shape along with the conversation and by the end of it all we swore we’d do it again, same time next year. I’ll wear the same ring, she’ll bring the lemonade.

It made her feel like the sun was always set to twilight and the air was consistently warm. The garnets reminded her of that summer on the lake back when 30 seemed old.

When the weather starts to turn cold and the leaves turn orange you can find me in a cabin tucked away in the northern woods.

What was I supposed to do? It was a ring that stood the test of time, glorious in its subtleness and stunning with its details, seen by the keenest of observers.

Greyhounds are an ancient breed that is thought to have originated in Egypt around 9,000 years ago. They were bred for hunting large game, using their sight and not their scent.

The sun was ripe with heat and the soil we hiked on was soggy from the previous night’s storm. The redwoods stood like giants against the summer’s air, as if they could conquer it. I fixed my hat and adjusted the brooch that perched on its side band.

‘A little warm for a hat, isn’t it, Victoria?’

‘Never.’

I kept hiking, large strides, passing him as I went. The stones on my hat reflected the light from the sky.

‘That amethyst, it’s as brilliant as the sun.’

‘Brighter, my dear, don’t look directly at it.’

This antique Victorian gold brooch was handcrafted in England around 1860. It’s a colorful flower-shaped pin featuring a square cushion-cut amethyst at the center, surrounded by a halo of 10 red faceted round pastes.

I admit it, I did a bit of hemming and hawing over this ring. ‘But, I don’t usually buy doublets’, I reasoned to myself. ‘But, it’s such a lovely blue’, my heart shot back. ‘But, it’s a bit pricey for a silver ring’, my practical side objected. ‘But, just look at it!’, my romantic soul persisted. As in most matters like this, my heart won out over my head and I just had to this bring this fabulous ring home with me.

But, seriously, just look at it. This beautifully hand crafted Arts & Crafts ring is made in silver, with a large and commanding style. The mounting of the ring is fully and wonderfully carved with scrolling floral motifs. The ring is set with a large, 13x11mm opal doublet in the most fantastical shade of blue. The sides of this two-tone ring are accented with stylish gold flowers. The face of this ring measures 19.5 mm north to south and 17 mm across, it sits 7.2 mm off the finger and narrows to 5.3 mm at the back of the band. This ring is marked ‘925’ for sterling silver and weighs 11.2 grams. It is a size 8.75, but fits a little snuggly due to its wider width.

I don’t know exactly where this ring originates from, it could be English (that’s where I purchased it) or it could have Scandinavian roots, I’d believe either. Crafted around 1910-1920.

Kate Greenaway was a beloved children's writer and illustrator and a rival of Randolph Caldecott. Her first book was, 'Under the Window', a best-selling collection of stories about the idyllic lives of children. Her wonderful characters were used widely in Victorian times to decorate porcelain, clothes, and all manner of items, including jewelry. She would portray her characters in early 19th century clothing, which in turn influenced the Victorian fashion of the times. Liberty of London adapted her drawings as designs for actual children’s clothing! This sweet brooch is a stunning example of how her illustrations shaped fashion.

This Kate Greenaway brooch was handcrafted in Victorian England around 1890. It is crafted in 18 karat gold and features the motif of a boy whispering into a girl’s ear. A fence makes up the background while a cute cat and a woven basket sit near the couple’s feet. This brooch pin is decorated with two pearls and two rose cut diamonds. This piece measures 32.5 x 24 mm and it weighs 8.1 grams. It bears the gold purity mark, “18” and the maker’s mark, “AF”.

I always found Kate Greenaway to be a role model. Her career is aspirational as her work affected both the literary community and the fashion industry. She was a woman making strides well over a hundred years ago and her books are still coveted today. This brooch is a token of her successes and her brilliant imagination.

I wanted something fun, something fresh, something subtle. Then I saw this pearly citrine crown ring and decided that “subtle” was no longer in my vocabulary. This piece is an assemblage of beauty, a collection of gems fit for a king. Honestly, I have no regrets.

This regal ring features a large calf cut citrine stone topped with a crown of beautiful white pearls accented with diamonds. The stones in this ring are set in platinum with an 18 karat gold back and shank. The lively citrine is a very clean stone, even looked at through a 10 power jewelers loupe. There are seven pearls that decorate the top and bottom of the citrine. They’re creamy in color and spherical in shape. The largest pearl is 7 mm in diameter while the smallest is 4.4 mm in diameter. The ring shoulders are made of 16 Old European cut diamonds, for a total weight of .36 carats. A few of the diamonds are old European cuts and a few are single cut. There are no marks on this ring and it has been acid tested to verify metal content. The face measures 26.5 x 30 x 28 mm and is 10 mm tall off of the finger. It is a size 6 and weighs 14.1 grams. Hand crafted in the 1930s, I’m not sure where, but most likely European in origin.

Forget the style limits you’ve given yourself in the past and drink this statement piece in! Enjoy this ever-decadent cocktail ring!

It was like the ocean found its way into each stone, with the bluest blue you’d ever seen. Somehow the noontime sky made its way in, too, with its cloudless atmosphere and soothing effect.

It’s a color that matches the Caribbean sea when the sun hits it, the same color of her eyes.

Hunting, in the 1870’s, wasn’t just a man’s game. Women were invited to attend, and they most certainly knew how to dress for the occasion. An adventurous lady of means would ride sidesaddle on her horse, while wearing red to prevent any shots from coming her way. This woman would have known that thematic accessories were also required, such as a hunting-inspired brooch to accent her black riding hat.

This awesome antique Victorian citrine silver brooch was handcrafted around 1870 in the Scottish style. It features a quadruple deer head motif with the antlers holding the oval faceted citrine in place. This stone measures 27.4 x 19.3 x 10.5 mm and weighs approximately 29.43 carats.

I was strolling through the narrow cobblestoned streets just north of Paris, in a small town not used to strangers. I found a sandwich shop and in my best broken French ordered ‘un sandwich avec jambon et fromage’ and a glass of Rosé. The man I ordered from was kind, he moved slowly, enjoying the summer’s heat. The small patio overlooked a valley of clay roofed houses and intertwining streets. I found a table and sat. As I held onto the stem of the clear glass, my bracelet caught the sun’s light, making it glow like a cave of wonders. I sipped the wine, tasting the notes of strawberry and basil, letting the flavors linger on my tongue. I noticed how my wrist looked like the sun itself, giving life to earth, making the heavens envious. I also noticed the view and the toughness of my baguette sandwich, and how the wine gave tastes to the bread that could only be found here, right here, in this place, in this moment.

I lugged my suitcase up six flights of narrow Parisian hotel stairs to find that I had grabbed somebody else’s suitcase. In my evening gown, I went back down the stairs to find a lady yelling at the manager about a thief. I calmed the woman best I could before winding my own suitcase up those tiny stairs. I decided I was done working out for the next two weeks. I opened my belongings, and unzipped a hidden compartment containing my favorite treasure, a pretty winged turquoise necklace. I clasped it on and dashed back down the stairs, making my way to my handsome dinner date in the fourth arrondissement.

This antique silver gilt necklace was handcrafted around 1910. It’s a winged motif with two turquoise stones that drop from the bottom and one stone that is centered between the wings.

The name Christopher means ‘Christ-bearer’, which is fitting for a man who’s known as the patron saint of safe travels. The man that many believe to have been the real-life Christopher was born around 300 BC and was named Reprobus. This man wanted to serve God. He chose to spend his time helping people cross a river, as his height, rumored to be more than seven feet tall, and his sturdiness, would be useful there. One day, a child asked for his assistance and without hesitation, Reprobus agreed. The waters grew angry and the current strengthened, the child grew heavier and heavier as they went on. Only after they safety made it across did the child reveal himself as Christ. It’s a story of sacrifice, perseverance, and faith.

This wonderful St. Christopher pendant was handcrafted in sterling silver. It depicts St. Christopher carrying Christ on his back and across the river. The edges of this small pendant are wavy and engraved, giving it a slight flower shape. This piece measures 18.2 mm in diameter and weighs 2.5 grams. It bears the silver fineness mark, “925” and the inscription, “St. Christopher Protect Us”.

This perfect little pendant is ready to hang from your favorite matching chain every day of the week!

As far as baubles go, this one is extraordinary. It’s a nod to the vanished elegance of a time gone by, of chateaux and extravagant gardens, when beautiful people dressed for dinner and women entered the room in a flutter of silk. A time when chandeliers were lit, fires crackled, candelabras blazed, turning diamonds like these into rich luminous drops of captured sparkle against soft skin.

It showcases a whiplash floral motif with rose cut diamonds with two Old European cut diamonds set in silver over 18 karat gold. This ring is a size 7.25 and it weighs 5.8 grams.

Throughout the centuries, the pig has symbolized a variety of values and blessings. Ancient Egyptians considered the pig as a Great Mother, she symbolized fertility and abundance. The pig was sacred to the protective goddess, Isis. The Celts held a similar belief in which the pig was a mother figure, always replenishing her abundant heard. In Ancient Chinese culture, the pig represented strength and virility. It’s a sincere and honest creature. The Victorians considered the happy pig as a good luck charm, sending postcards with its image and wearing pig charms.

This vintage gold pig charm was handcrafted around 1950. It measures 19 x 20.3 x 5.3 mm and weighs 6.5 grams. It was made in 18 karat gold and is marked as such with the gold purity mark, “18ct”.

This adorable pendant belongs on that charm bracelet of yours, so you can carry him around everywhere you go.

I found it at the bottom of my jewelry box, happy to hold it again, after assuming I’d lost it for the hundredth time. It was one of those things that was never really lost, simply misplaced for a while. Immediately, I put it around my neck and admired the aged silver in the mirror. No wonder this piece is greatly adored, it makes me feel divine.

This antique silver snake chain was handcrafted around 1890. It measures 17.5 inches in length and weighs 34.4 grams. This chain measures 8.5 mm in depth. It bears no marks and has been acid tested.

I’ve always heard that diamonds were the hardest thing on earth. So, when I found out that a diamond is 58 times harder than anything else on the planet, I swooned. This gem’s atomic octahedral arrangement attends to the sturdiness and durability of the stone, as well as the fact that it’s comprised of one element – carbon. The word, “diamond” originates from the Greek word, “adamas”, meaning “unbreakable”. The Greeks sure knew what they were talking about!

This gorgeous glittering antique diamond ring was handcrafted with an array of rose cut diamonds set in silver over 14 karat gold. It is unmarked and I’m not entirely certain as to the origin, but if I was to hazard a guess I’d say that it’s Dutch and certainly dates to about 1870 or so. This beautiful ring is a size 9 and it weighs 5 grams. It features a geometric round ring face that measures 18.3 x 19.5 x 3.3 mm off the finger. The band width is 5.8 mm at the back. It has been acid tested.

This wonderful ring is smothered in diamonds and ready to be worn, from day to night, from work to play, take this statement bauble with you.

I was shopping at Newark, which bills itself as 'England’s Largest Antiques Fair' (a claim which I heartily believe), when I came across this breathtaking set. I had just begun my day and started out by visiting a dealer that I know quite well and wanted to buy from first. I picked out a few things, but my eye kept going back to the robin’s egg turquoise in the bracelet and necklace. The gold was warm to the touch and the pearls added just the right amount of ‘je ne sais quois’. I'd only brought a limited amount of cash along, so I was avoiding buying any bigger ticket items in order to stretch my pounds out a bit, but love just can't be stopped, and my brain was singing a little love song to this pair of elegant beauties. Long story short, here I am, with two pieces I’m excited to share with you!

This fantastic two-piece set was handcrafted in England around 1890. It’s a Victorian-era pair consisting of a bangle and a necklace, both silver gilt with a turquoise heart bird and flower motif. This set weighs 25.5 grams and has been acid tested. The necklace measures 17.5 inches in length with the drop portion measuring 38.5 x 30.5 mm. The bangle measures 7 inches in length, and 15 x 67 x 6 mm off the wrist. It contains a safety chain, so you’ll never have to worry about a thing. It bears a maker’s mark which reads, “BS”.

For a beautiful gift or a treat for yourself, this set will bring a touch of elegance and history into your life.

I watched a spider spin its sturdy silky web. As it wove its way around and around I couldn’t help but consider how beautiful and majestic its home was. The natural geometry of the toughest substance on earth was being crafted right here, on my back porch. I woke up early the next morning, and I knew exactly what to wear.

This antique Art Nouveau era silver slide locket was handcrafted around 1880, most likely in Germany. It features a repoussed motif of a spider weaving its web among a berry bush with a green paste at the center of the web. The chain measures 19.75 inches in length while the pendant measures 45 x 34.5 mm. Overall, this necklace weighs 11.6 grams. It bears the silver purity mark, “835” on the clasp and “800” on the bale of the locket.

The word “spider” comes from the Old English word “spithra” which is related to the German “spinne”, meaning “spinner”. The term “spinster” is also related, meaning “one who spins thread”.  Did you know that all spiders spin silk, but not all spiders spin webs? The spider on this locket is of the web-spinning sort, and somehow he found the perfect green paste for the center!

He found her striking as she did perfectly normal things around the flat, like drinking a glass of water, or picking at her fingernails. In the middle of browsing through a magazine she paused, and looked at the gold padlock bracelet around her wrist. She twisted it so the lock, which was shaped like a heart, faced outward, for the world to see. He was making them coffee in the other room, glancing in her direction, grinning, because he had given that bracelet to her just the other day.

This antique Victorian heart padlock link bracelet was handcrafted in England around 1900. It was made in 9 karat gold and measures 8 inches in length. This big and juicy curb link bracelet is clasped together with a heart padlock that has been hallmarked with the gold purity mark, “9CT”. The links have been marked, “9c”. This bracelet boasts an engraved floral design on one side of the links, giving it just the right amount of detail, and it’s smooth on the other side, in case you’re looking for a simpler option. Each link measures 13.9 x 15 mm and it weighs 30.2 grams.

This stunning bracelet, in gold kissed with a rosy hue, promises not to spend much time in your jewelry box, it’s a 'goes-with-everything' classic.

Whenever I’m in London I try to sneak a couple of hours to myself and visit Liberty and Company on Regent Street in the West End. On my last trip I had to sacrifice my ‘me’ time and run a few errands (including a stop at my favorite chocolatier) on New Bond Street. With my sense of direction, it wasn’t surprising I went right instead of left while leaving the chocolate shop, but imagine my delight when I popped out onto Regent Street, directly in front of Liberty’s! I must say, it was fate.

This Arts & Crafts silver enamel necklace was handcrafted in 1907 and is just the kind of jewel that would have been retailed at a store like Liberty & Co.. It was made in Chester, England by famed silver smith Charles Horner. It’s an organic motif with a mother of pearl at the center with cool shades of blue and green and purple enamel set in silver, hanging from a 16-inch chain. The pendant measures 82.5 x 25.5 mm. This antique necklace weighs 8.1 grams. It has been fully hallmarked and bears the lion mark for English sterling silver, the wheat sheaves mark for Chester, the date letter, “g”, and the maker’s mark, “C.H”.

I adore wearing pieces like this – it’s architectural, but in a subtle way. I hope you enjoy this piece as much as I enjoyed finding it!

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. Ladies donned flapper dresses with t-strap heals and beaded headbands. Jewelry was minimal, so they had to make it count. I would have worn a long pearl necklace to accentuate my bob and on my hand would be this dazzling ring, sparkling as I adjust my silk fringe wrap.

This is a ring that glitters and glitters and glitters. This antique piece was handcrafted around 1915-20. It’s a five-stone diamond platinum stunner on a size 8.25 US band that weighs 4.1 grams. The largest diamond is at the center, measuring 5.1 x 4.6 x 3.3 mm and weighing .55 carats. Altogether, the Old European cut stones weigh approximately 2.2 carats. The ring face measures 6.4 mm north to south and 21 mm across the face and sits 5.4 mm off the finger, it narrows to 1.4 mm at the back of the band. There are no marks and it has been acid tested.

This engagement ring (or wedding band, or anniversary ring or just because you deserve it ring) is to die for! It’s elegant and charming, glittering and simple. She’ll love it!

Sometimes, when I’m shopping in Europe, I come across a piece of jewelry I absolutely must have. I’m so overwhelmed by the beauty, the rarity, the history, and the artistry that once I pick it up I refuse to put it down. I found this pair of earrings in Amsterdam, displayed in a window, its enamel glowing in the sunlight. The colors were so cheery I nearly forgot about the cold winter wind of the day.

These stunning plique-a-jour enamel drop earrings are like stained glass windows for your ears. Each piece bears red, yellow, and teal enamel with a cabochon cut green paste at its center, all set in gilded sterling. Each earring measures 50.1 x 22.8 mm and together this stunning pair weighs 8.4 grams. They bear the silver fineness mark, “STERLING” and the maker’s mark, “WMC”. Fully hand crafted around 1900-1910, I’m not entirely certain of their country of origin, but suspect that they may be German, Austrian or Dutch.

Plique-a-jour is French for “light of day”. It’s a form of enameling in which each cell is created within the metalwork of a piece of jewelry and then filled with enamel. When the piece is fired it forms a stained-glass-like effect. It’s a challenging and time-consuming technique, but when done correctly, the results are simply stunning. Case in point: this breathtaking pair of earrings.

My love for lockets stems from the idea that they become yours. They hold your photographs, they keep your secrets, they know your meaning. Their beauty and history are just a plus. During my time in Europe shopping for beautiful things I learned lockets appeared in the continent sometime during the 16th century. They were worn to hide good luck charms, perfume, or tiny love letters. Ladies of the court liked to fill theirs with smelling salts, as the ballroom heat could cause quite a bit of fainting. As time went on, the popularity of lockets spread to the middle class where they were given as gifts within a gift, with a painted portrait of a lover’s eye, a small note, or a private token, tucked clandestinely inside.

This antique silver collar and locket set was handcrafted around 1876. It’s a Victorian set made in Birmingham, England. It bears an embossed placket motif. Inside the locket is a portrait of a beautiful young lady sporting a brooch. The oval locket measures 59.5 x 33.5 mm and the chain it hangs from measures 18.5 inches in length. This set weighs 34 grams. It has been fully hallmarked and bears the lion mark for English sterling silver, the date letter mark, “b”, the anchor mark for Birmingham, and a maker’s mark which reads, “E.R”. The chain is also marked, as it contains the silver fineness mark, “925” and the maker’s mark, “CBL”. This wonderful set could be worn together or separately, the chain can be worn with any sort of beautiful bauble, the locket would look equal stunning as a chocker on a simple black cord.

The best piece of advice I can give to an antique jewelry wearer is let it become yours. Don’t let it wear you, wear it. Dress it however you desire. A piece like this can be fancy or casual, date-night ready or lounging night-in.

It was one of those fireplace Sunday’s at the Clos Maggiore. I was reading Ann Quin by firelight, entirely enraptured as my smoked salmon was getting cold. Dusk had fallen, and I was quite surprised when she tapped my shoulder.

That ring, seems subtle for you, Victoria.

It’s all in the details, my dear.

She refilled my coffee as I turned the page, not looking up. I reached for my mug, eyes glued to the words. My ring glimmered in the soft glow of the embers. I heard her gasp in the distance and I smiled to myself. I knew that sound all too well, it’s the sound sparkling gems cause anyone with sight to make when they shimmer just right.

This Victorian gold ring features an Old European diamond at the center with four round-cut deep pink rubies on the sides, gypsy set in 15 karat gold. This antique English ring was handcrafted in Birmingham, England in 1886. The diamond weighs approximately .05 carats and the rubies measure 1.5 mm in diameter. The ring face measures 7 x 14.4. x 2.7 mm off the finger and the band width is 2.5 mm at the back. This piece is a size 6 US and weighs 1.7 grams. It has been fully hallmarked and bears the gold purity marks, “15CT” and “.625”, the anchor mark for Birmingham, and the date letter, “m” for 1886.

Gypsy set rings are a traditional late Victorian invention, meant for a man but adopted by women. This ring in particular was likely a lady’s ring, given its size. They were typically gifted as friendship bands from young girls to each other, or from husbands to their wives.

I’m always ravenous for pieces of art that can be worn and shown off. And pieces like these, with endless charm and flattery, are by far my favorite. There’s a sweetness with this piece that stems from the jeweler’s love for his craft. There’s tradition with this piece, illuminated from the idea of nature. There’s a fashion with this piece, found in the ratios of gold, crystal, and paint, which give a sense of perfect artistic balance.

This antique Victorian gold Essex crystal brooch was handcrafted in England around 1880. It features a detailed motif of a horse and bridle, set in 15 karat gold. It’s a round pin that measures 22.4 mm in diameter and weighs 8.4 grams. It bears the hallmark, “V” and a maker’s mark. This brooch has been acid tested.

This type of reverse cut and painted rock crystal is commonly called an Essex Crystal. It’s made by taking a smooth round rock crystal, and cabochon cutting it, then deeply reverse-carving it. The stone is then hand-painted from the back. It’s a tedious process that takes many man hours. Of course, every minute of work on this piece was absolutely worth it!

London was too warm for my taste, so I hopped on a train to Bath in the early morning hours. There’s a nice market there, on Bartlett Street, speckled with locals I’ve been lucky to know for years now. They always know where to find a good coffee and a great bookstore. Oddly enough, in this ancient Roman town, I came across this Danish stunner as I wandered the stalls. I slipped it on my finger and decided it was mine.

This vintage silver ring was handcrafted around 1950. It’s a Danish piece showcasing a rectangular foliate motif on a size 7.25 US band. It weighs 6.4 grams. The ring face measures 24.8 x 16.1 x 5.7 mm off the finger and the band width measures 2.1 mm at the back. It bears the silver fineness mark, “830.S” and the maker’s mark, “WK”.

This delectable silver ring is something fresh for your wardrobe, it’s always in season and ready to be worn!

I indulged my taste buds in hot chocolate while overlooking the Swiss Alps at a small chalet. The trees and faraway rooftops were blanketed in fresh powder. I was there for the snow, but my fingers were frozen and my toes were sure to follow suit. I was on my second cup of cocoa when he stopped by my small bistro table.
Victoria, your necklace is last season, is it not?
Whatever could you mean?
It reads springtime to me.
Darling, that’s precisely why I wore it.
He paused before heading back to the slopes, grinning. I held my mug up before taking another decadent sip. 

This antique Art Nouveau peridot gold pendant was handcrafted in England around 1910 by Murrle Bennett and Co. It’s a nature-inspired necklace with a leaf motif pendant decorated with two oval, faceted, green peridots set in 9 karat gold. This pendant measures 40 x 25 mm and it weighs 5.0 grams. The chain length measures 16.25 inches. The clasp bears the gold purity mark, “9ct” and this piece has been acid tested.

Why not wear a pop of green everywhere you go? It’s a nice reminder that warmer times are ahead, and if it’s already springtime, even better.

If you are, as I am, a lover of things Georgian, than this fantastic bracelet might be for you. If you are, as I am, a sucker for the absolute BEST example of a thing, than this stunning bracelet and padlock may be for you. If you are, as I am, an admirer of the heavy, silky feel that only old gold can acquire, than surely this chunk of a jewel is most likely for you. If you are, as I am, a proponent of the idea ‘go big or go home’, than this rare and finely crafted beauty should surely become part of your permanent collection.

This absolutely beautiful antique gold bracelet was hand made in Chester, England in 1823 and bears a full set of hallmarks. The padlock is unmarked and I would date it to around 1825, I don’t know how long they’ve been together but the combination is really rather stunning. The 18-karat gold link bracelet measures 7 inches in length while the stunning heart padlock measures 49 x 32.2 x 18 mm. The padlock bears a snake clasp with 360 degrees of scrolling engraving and a rose gold, heart shaped opening at the back engraved with elaborate initials. There’s a space for keepsakes inside the hollow padlock. The front of the lock showcases an oval cabochon garnet that measures 19.6 x 14.3 mm. These two pieces could be worn together or separately, the padlock is quite large and looks amazing on a sturdy gold chain.

The link chain bracelet is hallmarked with the crown for England, the gold purity mark, “18”, the mark for Chester, and it bears a maker’s mark. It also bears the date letter, “E” for 1823. The padlock and chain have both been acid tested.

I’ll admit it, I’m a bit obsessed with these padlocks and their nudge toward romanticism. If you don’t scoop this one up soon, I may just keep it for myself!

I stood on the ballroom floor, with champagne in one hand and this ring on the other. The lights were low and the crowd was serene inside a bubble of music and fine wine. She strolled in my direction, feigning to walk by.

Victoria, your dress is de rigueur this evening.

It’s the chalcedony, I’m sure.

Oh, but your gown, it’s magnificent.

Take my word for it, darling, it’s always all about the jewels.

I waved her goodbye and the stone caught the light from the chandeliers and lit a glowing green stripe across my cheeks, just for a second.

This beautiful silver chalcedony ring was handcrafted around 1900. It’s a German-made ring from the Jugendstil movement, (think Art Nouveau, but in another language). This oval antique stunner features a mint chalcedony that measures 11.5 x 6.5 x 3.3 mm and is cabochon cut. It’s surrounded by silver roses on a size 9.75 US band. The ring face measures 23.4 x 15 x 7.3 mm off the finger and the band width is 2.2 mm at the back. It bears the silver fineness mark, “935”.

From boardrooms to ballrooms, this ring transitions from day to night without a hint of difficulty. It’s one of those refreshing pieces that’s antique but modern and now it has nothing left to prove!

Like foam and latte, salt and pepper, yin and yang, two rose cut diamonds play point counter-point across this lovely French ring! If you are looking for the perfect ring to tell her how much you love her, look no further. Clasped like lovers for all eternity, this wonderful ring is what the French called a 'Toi et Moi', for 'you and me', together forever.

This stunning swirling ring was handcrafted around 1910. It’s a French-made toi et moi ring consisting of 8 rose cut diamonds set in platinum over 18 karat gold.

Are you a sexy steampunk kind of girl? Do you have a little rock and roll rebel in your soul? These Victorians had the collar figured out and this one would go as well with a leather jacket as it ever did with a velvet corset, although it would go quite nicely with that, too.

A collar like this one can be worn lots of different ways, you can wear it with the clasp in front and the locket or a different bauble dropped off of it, or you can remove the locket and wear it with the clasp in back as a very smart chain.

This silver Victorian collar and locket set was handcrafted in 1883. It was made in Birmingham, England. The oval locket is embossed with a hanging heart motif and measures 71 x 41 mm. The anchor link collar measures 20 inches in length. This antique set weighs 64.1 grams. It has been fully hallmarked and bears the date letter, “I”, the anchor mark for Birmingham, and the lion mark for English sterling silver. The marker’s mark has faded but the letters, “J.D” are legible.

This collar and locket set promises not disappoint; as a matter of fact, I think it’ll be your favorite.

Garnets have long been one of my favorite stones. I’m amazed by their beauty and diversity, from the gorgeous and distinctive green of a demantoid (or ‘demented’ as the Brit’s say), to the fascinating bright orange of a spessartite; they can be bright as rubies, girly almondine pink or, my favorite, a rich, deep burgundy, the color of the finest Cabernet. My admiration has to do with the way they look in candlelight, impossibly classic and timeless. Their rich colors have long been associated with love and affairs of the heart.
