Victorian 'Regard' Wedding Band Ring in 15k Gold Sz 8.75
$ 960.00
Phrases like Regard and Adore are often seen in anachronistic jewelry made during the Victorian era, done in gems like ‘A(mehtyst)d(iamond)o(pal)r(ruby)e(merald)’, but the messages of these gemmier rings became super popular and in the later Victorian era they popped up all over, in script as well as spelled out in stones.
This wonderful wide wedding band ring, sometimes called a cigar band ring for obvious reasons, was made in England in about 1900 of 15 karat gold. The ring is not really able to be resized and comes it at a hair over a size 8.75, due to its width it may fit a bit smaller. The ring measures 6.4 mm north to south and is .9 mm thick, it is marked on the inside with ’15ct’ for the gold, each flat paneled side is engraved with a letter or alternating design. This would make a wonderful and sentimental recycled wedding band or a sweet, thoughtful gift. This ring weighs 4.5 grams.

Victorian Buckle Ring Inscribed 1891 18k Gold Wedding Band
$ 1,750.00
The belt, the buckle, the garter; call it what you will, this simple but highly effective invention dates back millennia. It’s a marriage of form and function that is now so ubiquitous it practically goes without notice, but in Victorian times it had a strong symbolism associated with it which caused it to be used in other aspects of life and art, including jewelry. The buckle was seen as similar to the serpent, a symbol of eternity, of strength and protection and was used fairly often in the symbols of mourning jewelry.
This wonderfully chunky gold buckle ring has a fabulous inscription and a full set of English hallmarks which tell us that it was made in Birmingham in 1893 of 18 karat gold. The ring is 10.8 mm wide at the widest point and 3.7 mm thick, it narrows very slightly to 7.3 mm at the back of the band. This ring is a size 7.25 and weighs 7.3 grams.

Spectacular Victorian 3 Stone Diamond Ring 18k Gold 2cttw
$ 9,500.00
Sunday mornings in London always have a low key vibe. The streets are quiet until noon and people are out and about in trainers and jumpers (that’s British for sneakers and sweaters) in places you usually see suits and ties. It’s one of my favorite days. The Sunday market doesn’t even start until 10 and so I get to sleep in and still have time to pop around the corner for croissants and coffee. The Sunday market, the Horti, as they call it, is held in a Georgian era building with a glass domed roof, this Sunday it’s bright and sunny and the vendors laid out in row upon row hold untold treasure to be found. This ring was my first treasure that day, it beamed up out of the case, caught on an English sunbeam.

The center stone measures 5.1x5.1x3.5 mm and weighs about .7 carats, the other two stones are similar in size, 5x5x3.15 mm and weigh about .6 carats each, there are also 6 rose cut diamonds set between the three main stones.

This unmarked ring tests as 18 karat gold and is a size 6.5, it weighs 4.8 grams.

Georgian Intaglio Seal Fob Pendant 18k Gold Bloodstone
$ 1,190.00
Lost in history, bound in myth. That’s what I always think when come across very old things like this fantastic carved bloodstone intaglio seal.

Then again, you might have noticed that I’m never adverse to making up their stories for myself.
This stately Georgian 18k gold fob was handcrafted in England around 1810. It’s intaglio, carved in the finest deep green and red flecked bloodstone, is an armorial seal that bears a coat of arms showing a shield adorned with three shells and topped by a helm and wing motif, all surrounded by sinuous vines and leaves.

Edwardian Moonstone Diamond Platinum Ring Dome
$ 4,850.00
I love Saturday’s in France. We take a train out of Paris to the wonderful city of Reims, the capital of the Champagne region in France. At a quaint house almost in the country we visit with a dealer who we’ve been buying from long enough that she’s now a good friend. She and her daughter make us wonderful meals and serve us the best wine and bubbly and we spend the day with them, laughing and catching up and, of course, looking at fabulous jewels. This ring reminds me a bit of the yummy champagne we drink, the array of rose cut diamonds sparkling like the bubbles in my glass.
This Art Deco era French ring is set with 56 rose cut diamonds and one fabulous high dome of moonstone. This ring is beautifully hand crafted in platinum, with each stone set into a mill grain edged diamond that gives it the feel of leaves or feathers.

This beautiful cocktail ring sparkles with every move of your lovely hand and pairs very well with a 2004 Clicquot Grande Dame and a little black dress!

Unusual Art Nouveau Victorian Garland Era Silver Bangle Bracelet
$ 880.00
The Aesthetic Movement, which was the driving force behind much of the Victorian silver jewelry that was made in England, began in the 1860s and starting winding down in the last few years of the 1890s. New styles were coming in, Edwardian and Belle Epoque jewelry eschewed chunky Victorian styles moved to a lighter, more ephemeral feel, and the dynamic duo of Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau came sweeping through with something utterly new.
It is exceedingly rare (like this is the first time in 20 years) for me to see a bangle like this one, which shows the clear intersection of the Victorian and Art Nouveau styles. It wasn’t all clean, the changing of style, it was messy at the edges and styles overlapped, sometimes to wonderful effect. This fabulous late Victorian bangle dates to about 1895, it shows the beginnings of the Art Nouveau style, with a nod to the motifs that would sweep though that style and it also has garlands of colored flowers, a very Edwardian motif. The flowers seem to be done with gold and platinum in the overlay, this kind of blue tone to the central flowers is indicative of platinum which was being used in this way a the time, pink gold roses and green gold leafs add to the very three dimensional floral sprays.
This hand crafted bangle is 25 mm wide and would comfortably fit a wrist of up to 6.5 inches. It weighs 27.1 grams, it is unmarked but tests as sterling silver.

Late Victorian Gemstone Diamond Bracelet 18k Gold Tourmaline Aquamarine
$ 8,950.00
I used to think that diamonds and fancy gems were a weekends-only, little black dress sort of affair, but lately I’ve taken much more of a “smoke ‘em if you got ‘em” approach to my jewels. Sparkles are fun when I’m drinking a margarita on a Tuesday with the hubs in my back yard. Don’t judge, ya’ll, it’s taco day and what goes better with tacos? This bracelet has become a particular favorite for our Tuesday night parties for two, there’s something about the colors and the sparkle that gives our deck party the feel of an elegant soiree, and playing hostess for only two means a lot less clean up!
This elegant late Victorian bracelet was hand made around 1900. It is set with three rectangular cushion cut gems, a bright blue aquamarine and a sparkling pink and green tourmaline. Each gem is surrounded by a halo of Old Mine Cut diamonds, 58 in all.

Victorian Aesthetic Movement Silver Bangle Bracelet Green Pink Gold Accents
$ 890.00
Art for Arts Sake. This was the driving idea of the Aesthetic Movement in Britain which led artist to create some of the most beautiful artwork of the western world in the years between 1860 and 1900. The idea was that things did not need have a deeper meaning to be made in a way that was pleasing to the senses, that it was okay for an object which was useful to also be beautiful, simply for the sake of beauty. It is an idea which we still hold to this day. The simple lines and motifs of Japanese art were particularly appealing to the Aesthetic artists and these motifs feature prominently in many of the designs of this era, this bangle among them.
Simple branches of cherry blossoms grace the front of this wide silver cuff bangle. The leaves are done in a greenish gold overlay and the blooms in pink gold, it also has a wonderful egg and dart like scalloped edge. This bangle is inscribed to the reverse with “To Mary, 17th Jan(uar)y. 1883.” and the inscription is bordered in a similar manner to the front engraving, making me think that this piece was likely made custom by the jeweler and inscribed by him as well, so probably it was made just before this date in 1882-3. This wonderful bangle measures 25 mm wide from top to bottom and would fit a wrist of 6.5 inches or less; it weighs 37.5 grams. Made in England of Sterling Silver.

15k and 9k Three Fobs and Split Ring White Chalcedony and Carnelian Carved
$ 2,580.00
Lost in history, bound in myth. That’s what I always think when come across very old things like this fantastic ring of three carved intaglio seals. It makes me a little bit melancholy to think of what stories they could tell that I will never know! Then again, you might have noticed that I’m never adverse to making up their stories for myself!
This fantastic pendant contains a 9 karat gold split ring which holds three fobs. The largest of the three fobs is in 15 karat gold and shows a the initial I or J in a belted garter, a sword through the garter has a fist at the end holding a spear which drips with blood! The two smaller seals are in 9 karat gold and the orange carnelian one shows a Lyre with the phrase “All’s Well” while the other has the scripted words ‘Ricordate Di Me’ or ‘Remember Me’, done in chalcedony. These three fobs have likely lived together on this ring for many decades, they were made around 1830 in the Georgian era and the largest measures 40 mm high, 30 mm wide and 18.5 mm across; the pendant weighs 21.1 grams altogether.

Victorian Carnelian Intaglio Ring Lion Rampant
$ 1,750.00
This ring has swagger. Yeah, you heard me, swagger. What’s that, you ask? Well, confidence, perhaps even a bit arrogance; it’s mostly in the hips.
This large and lovely ring is set with a deeply carved intaglio of a lion rampant in a crown done in rich, orange carnelian. I believe that this intaglio predates this wonderful ring by quite a lot, probably the stone dates to about 1870, it’s difficult to say when it was set into this ring, I purchased it this way and it shows definite signs of wear, so it’s been here awhile. This large ring measures 23.8 mm from north to south at the face and is 20.5 mm across, it sits 4.1 mm off the finger and narrows to 2.3 mm at the back of the band. This size 7.5 ring weighs 7.2 grams. This unmarked ring tests as 15 karat gold.

Art Deco Old European Cut Diamond Engagement Ring in Platinum
$ 5,980.00
"Will you?" he said, holding out the little box.
"Yes," she replied, holding out her hand. He slipped it onto her finger.
Perfect.
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 this one are more like individual works of art. Hand cut by master craftsmen who spent decades honing their skills; 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 European ring was made in about 1930 and showcases the simplicity of the Edwardian style anchored firmly by an Old European cushion cut diamond with large cut facets that cause it to flash with slow and stunning sparks of colorful fire.
Hand crafted of platinum, this fantastic Engagement ring holds a chunky diamond which measures 6.3x6.3x5.2 mm and weighs about .880 carats, it is a very lively stone, about an F/G color Si1 diamond. The face of the ring measures 6.6 mm north to south and it sits 5.2 mm off the finger. The center stone is accented by 3 small diamonds on either side. This ring is marked ‘Plat’ for platinum and has a makers mark of ’SB&Sn’, the ring is inscribed with ’T.B.H-M.M.G 16-2-36’. This size 8 ring weighs 3.7 grams.
This instant heirloom of a ring is just waiting to be part of a story that will last a lifetime, and then some.

Angry Bobby English Policeman Charm Silver Pendant
$ 220.00
Before 1829 there was no police force in London, or really anywhere for that matter. When the then British home minister, Sir Robert Peel, organized the London Metropolitan Police (headquartered on a street named… you guessed it, Scotland Yard) he dressed them in black coats and tall black wool hats with shiny badges. These hats became iconic and the London police force was so closely associated with Robert Peel that those who wore these hats got the nickname of ‘Bobbies’.
I found this particular little Bobby to be utterly irresistible. He looks a bit grumpy, really, under his iconic hat, but this just makes him all the more appealing. The wonderful Victorian charm is done in silver, it’s a small thing, just 21.2 mm from top to bottom including the bale and 16.1 mm across at the widest point. This pendant is unmarked but has been carefully acid tested. It weighs 1.6 grams. Made in England around 1880.

Victorian 5 Stone Diamond Ring 18k Gold
$ 660.00
It's all in the odd numbers, I guess. Those Victorians just loved their 3, 5 and 7 stone rings. Here is a wonderful example of a five stone ring, which was often referred to as a 'half hoop' ring or sometimes a "boat" ring because of the tapering shape. Crafted from warm 18 karat gold with beautifully hand engraved shoulders, done all in diamonds full of sparkle and fire, it is a glowing example of this type of ring!
Hand crafted in about 1890-1900, this ring was originally fully hallmarked, but while still partially visible, the remaining marks are too worn to read and some have been sized out altogether at some point. It does have a more modern 18 karat gold mark, likely from when the ring was re-sized, but it has been professionally acid tested for metal purity. The stones are all original and beautifully matched. I would confidently estimate the weight of the stones at about .25 carats in total. The ring measures 16.6 mm east to west and 6 mm north to south, sits 3.4 mm off the finger and weighs 3.3 grams. Currently it is a size 6.25 US, but it could be easily be re-sized up or down a bit.
This wonderful and sparkly Victorian diamond 5 stone ring would play nicely in a stack, and would certainly make a lovely wedding ring or anniversary band. When I have it on my finger, I find it simply impossible to take my eyes off of it!
I offer layaway on most items purchased for full retail price. In general my layaway terms are 1/3 down and 1/3 in 30 days and the last 1/3 in 60 days.

Vintage Norman Grant Enamel Necklace Silver Custom
$ 1,450.00
The internet is a wonderful thing. Even though my niece and nephew laugh at me when I tell them that I’m older than Google, it’s true. Very true. I remember a time when we weren’t so connected, when looking something up meant that you went and found the right letter volume of the Encyclopedia Brittanica. Now days googling is a verb and we can connect to anyone, anywhere, anytime.
This was brought home to me in my early days of online sales when I posted a photo on a very early Facebook page of a piece of jewelry by one of my favorite artists, Norman Grant. It hadn’t been up for long when I got a message, it was from Norman’s son. He was sitting in a pub with his dad and the post came up and he showed it to Norman who was delighted to see it. It was such a lovely connection. Mr. Grant died a few years ago and I was so sad to hear it, but his wonderful jewelry lives on.
Even though some of Norman Grant’s jewelry was a bit mass produced this particular necklace appears to be a one-off and it shows in the quality, it’s a nice weighty piece with great attention to details. the colors are lovely, all pinks and purples and it has a bit of an asian twist to the design. It’s hallmarked for Edinburgh and was made in 1972, it has the NG for Norman Grant.
This lovely necklace was hand crafted in sterling silver and enamel. The chain is 23 inches long and the drop measures 63 mm from top to bottom and 36.8 mm across at the widest point. This necklace weighs 14 grams. The metal screw style clasp is original to many of Grant’s pieces, although these days it has often been replaced with a silver ring clap, it’s nice to have the original clasp.
A lovely and contemporary feeling vintage necklace by the truly lovely Norman Grant.

Victorian Memorial Hair Buckle Ring 15k Gold
Sold Out - $ 620.00
This antique Victorian buckle memorial ring was handcrafted in England in 1895. It begins at the top as a beautifully engraved 15 karat gold band with a traditional buckle motif that in turn is accented with delicately hand engraved braided hair motif. This transitions seamlessly into a band inset with an intricately woven braid of hair, showing off the spectacular skill and craftsmanship the Victorians dedicated to honoring those who had passed on before them. It has been fully hallmarked as it bears a maker's mark of "SP&Co.", the gold purity marks of ".625" and “15” for 15 karat gold, the anchor mark for Birmingham, and the date letter “V” for 1895.

Versatile, historical, and everything a woman of discerning taste needs on her finger!
A note from Victoria: While this is a ring which could certainly be worn, care should be taken to keep it dry to protect the inlaid woven hair in the band.

Art Deco Enamel Silver Locket Pendant Lavendar White
$ 630.00
Enameling, in some form or another, has been around since the 13th century BC. It took a long time to perfect it, though, some form of metal had to be used with early enamel, to hold each color distinctly apart from its neighbor (interesting note, these little metal bars were called cloisons, hence one name for this type of enameling is cloisonné). In the 15th century the technique of painted enamel was perfected and suddenly the cloisons were gone and wonderful, rich details could be gleaned from this once mosaic-like art form.
This Art Deco locket was hand crafted around 1920. It’s done all in silver and then machine turned to produce an overall engraved pattern, then the locket was fired with a rich opaque white enamel and a fluid lavender enamel which is translucent, giving it a look of constant movement. The shape, the concentric circles, the depth of the enamel covered engraving, all combine to make this a very dynamic piece. The face of this locket measures 37.3 mm from the top of the bale and 28 mm across, it’s 5.4 mm thick. This one opens easily and closes with a nice little snap; it weighs 8.1 grams.

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.
