French Early Art Deco Platinum Diamond Sapphire Necklace
$ 7,863.00 $ 9,250.00
I met Henri at a little French Café on the rue Saint-Honoré, ‘Henri on Honoré’, the thought made me laugh to myself a little as I walked there in the bright afternoon light of a brisk, sunny Parisian day. I sat upstairs in the window seat, eating a pain au chocolat and drinking a cup of their glorious freshly roasted house blend when Henri arrived. We huddled together with our backs to the room as I ogled the bounty he pulled out of various pockets. I wasn’t laughing anymore when I unwrapped this glamorous, shimmering Edwardian beauty. Nope, I was more bewilderment than bemusement just then. Almost made me spill my coffee this one, but not quite.
This fantastically hand crafted all-platinum necklace features a rich, dark, approximately 3.81 carat sapphire surrounded by 12 gorgeous old European mine cut diamonds. The sapphires slightly included and is a 5PB 2/4 dark blue stone, probably untreated. The cluster of 13 old mine cut diamonds weigh a total of 2.11 carats and are G/I SI1-I1 stones. The necklace tests as platinum as does the chain which appears to be original to the piece. The chain measures 19 inches long with a safety chain for extra security. The overall pendant drop measures 30.2 mm from the top diamond to the bottom one and 15.5 mm across. The necklace weighs 7.2 grams. It is unmarked but has been carefully acid tested. I suspect it to be French in origin as I purchased it in Paris and it was likely made around 1915.
This necklace comes with a full appraisal done by a 3rd party Antique jewelry appraiser and GIA Master Gemologist, the replacement value is $13,580. Full appraisal available upon request.

Edwardian Diamond Aquamarine Bow Necklace Platinum c. 1910
$ 10,625.00 $ 12,500.00
The last decade of the nineteenth century, the fin de siècle, was a time when the rejection of machine-made jewelry that had once been welcomed as an innovation, caused an about face in fashion and design. Jewelry went from large and ostentatious to ethereal and delicate almost overnight. Employing what was to become known as the “garland” style or 'style guirlande' in France, jewelers who chose not to embrace Art Nouveau or Arts and Crafts styles borrowed the fluidity of their lines and incorporated them into more traditional motifs thereby creating Edwardian jewelry. The “new” designs of the Edwardian Era had their roots firmly planted in eighteenth-century jewelry. The Court of Versailles was the inspiration for customers who desired more classically and aristocratically styled jewels. Ornamental motifs from earlier centuries were available through pictorial records from pattern books which began circulating freely beginning in the 1850s. In particular, Cartier encouraged his designers to wander the streets of Paris looking at seventeenth and eighteenth century architecture for jewelry inspiration. Garlands and ribbons, laurel wreaths, bow knots, tassels and lace were rendered with a new lightness thanks to new advances made in platinum fabrication.
Here is a fine example the garland style. An antique Edwardian garland-style diamond and aquamarine Platinum Bow Necklace that I discovered on my last trip to Paris. This pendant has a rich and lively faceted tear drop aquamarine that is approximately 11.58 carats is size and measures about 21.2 x 113 x 8.58 mm. The platinum bow is embedded with 29 lovely sparkling rose cut diamonds each 1.6-1.8 mm in diameter, .26 carats in all. As if that was not enough, there is one larger full cut old European diamond above the bow, a sparkly round gem which weighs approximately 0.16 carats. This stunning necklace was hand crafted around 1910, mostly likely in Paris. The chain is 16 inches long and the pendant and chain together weighs 9.9 grams. The overall measurement of the bow is 35 mm wide, it's 35.5 mm from the top of the bow to bottom of aquamarine and 52 mm from the top diamond to the bottom of bow.
This pendant has been professionally appraised by a 3rd party antique jewelry appraiser, it has a replacement value of $16,500.00. Full appraisal available upon request.

Antique Trefoil 3 Diamond Ring 18k Gold
$ 1,350.00
When I was in design school, one of the things we were taught was that the human eye likes odd numbers of objects, three oranges, not four, three lobed leaves, three stone rings. Somehow we are just hardwired to look more fondly upon uneven things!
This trefoil shaped diamond ring is set with three winking Old European cut diamonds, which add up half a carat in stones. The ring was hand crafted in about 1900, probably in France. The face of this ring measures 4.5 mm north to south and 7.2 mm across, it sits 8 mm off the finger and narrows to 1.2 mm wide at the back of the band. This ring has been resized up to a 9.5 and could easily be sized down, I think it lost its hallmarks in resizing and we’ve acid tested it to verify the 18 karat gold content. The ring weighs 2.0 grams.

Victorian Cameo Brooch Pin 15k Gold Pearl Diamond Frame
$ 3,450.00
She packed the last pair of gloves into her chest and closed the lid, flipped the clasps and turned the key in the lock. She had room to add some things, she already knew what she was going to bring back from her Grand Tour: Linens from France for her brothers, Lace from Belgium for her mother and for her father a Cuckoo Clock from the Swiss Alps. For herself she was hoping to find an exquisite cameo in Italy, she wanted one with angles or cherubs, or both, and knew the exact jeweler she’d take it to when she got back. In her mind she could picture the diamond and pearl frame she’d commission for it. She could hardly believe it was time, she was off on her Adventure!
This wonderful brooch was made in Victorian England in about 1880. Most likely it was brought back from Italy and set in England, it is set in glowing yellow 15 karat gold.

Antique Moonstone Sapphire Gold Earrings
$ 850.00
Ancient Romans believed that moonstones were formed by drops of moonlight. They associated the stone with romance, femininity, and dreams. It was the ancient Greeks who named this stone, though, after the ethereal silver light of the moon. Both cultures associated it with their lunar deities. I’m not one to argue, since I also think this gemstone is absolutely divine! During the Arts and Crafts era stones such as monotones, pearls, and opals were used quite often as they seemed alive with the way they shined in most any light.
These antique Edwardian moonstone and sapphire drop earrings were handcrafted in England in about 1910. They’re a gorgeous set with simple lines and glowing gems. The moonstones give off a blast of blue as well as the ethereal white color they’re known for, each one weighs approximately 1.76 carats for a total of 3.52 carats. The tops are set with round glowing blue sapphires, .16 carats each. The earrings measure 47 mm long from top to bottom and 9.5 mm across. Overall, they weigh 2.5 grams. They are marked with ‘15ct’ for 15 carat gold.
For a pair of earrings they’ll surely ask you about, or that statement piece your jewelry box is missing, these are it!

Victorian Etruscan Revival Banded Agate Pendant 18k Gold
$ 1,800.00
A map of the British Empire done in 1890 might reveal a few clues as to why the Brit's were so enamored with Revival Styles. Spread out across the globe, they were digging up bits of old civilizations in a myriad of locales. Renaissance Revival, Egyptian Revival, and, as with this fantastic pendant, Etruscan Revival, were all popular motifs in Victorian times.
Reaching it's peak in the 1860's and 1870's, and characterized by the use twisted wire work and granulation, English Etruscan Revival pieces were often set with banded agate, as is this one. Wearing black after the death of a loved one was expected and jewels in black and white were allowed with mourning wear. This one is set with a locket to the reverse, which quite commonly would have held a lock of hair from a lost loved one.
This hand crafted English pendant was made around 1880 and is set in 18 karat gold. The pendant measures 50 mm from top to bottom and 29.4 mm across, it sits 13.7 mm high.

Antique Silver Moonstone Garnet Necklace
$ 2,550.00 $ 3,000.00
I got stuck on my last layover with just my carry-on and the clothes I was wearing. I always carry spare socks and underwear, so it was okay, but I was pretty casually dressed, just jeans and a tee and little black blazer. Luckily I was stuck in a city where one of my good friends lives. She picked me up, but already had plans to meet friends at a swanky downtown restaurant. I felt woefully underdressed, but then I remembered the bag of jewels in my carry-on.

Antique Victorian Embossed Silver Bangle Bracelet
$ 700.00
I just adore antique bangles. The abundance of silver in the late 1800s perfectly aligned with the fashion trends (thanks once again to the Queen) and aesthetics of the time, filled with delicacy and naturalism.

Every bangle is unique, and shines bright in the right light.
This antique silver bangle was handcrafted around 1880 in the Victorian era. It is oval in shape, 25 mm wide and weighs 26.1 grams. Fitting a wrist up to 7 inches, it features an embossed floral motif that is not only poetic, but somewhat provocative. This alluring bracelet bears no marks and has been acid tested.

Aqua Diamond Ruby Dragonfly Necklace
$ 2,448.00 $ 2,880.00
The best weeks of my year are spent at my husbands family cabin in the Great North Woods. It sits on a lake surrounded by giant pines and ringed in Lily Pads and there’s no Wi-fi and no cell signal and dinners are simple affairs often involving bonfires and sticks. There’s a perfect little dock out into the lake and we take chairs out and to the end and sit in the sun and read actual books on actual paper and watch the fish jump and dragonflies land on our hats and toes and stay for a while, protecting us from the occasional rouge mosquito or gnat. These are long, lovely days, even if they are few and far between.
This fabulous piece has been repurposed from a brooch into a stunning pendant necklace.

Glowing Antique Silver Moonstone Bracelet
$ 1,280.00
Everyone should know one poem by heart, all the way though. At least one, more is better. I was in single digits when I memorized my favorite childhood poem; that one about the Owl and the Kitty? Remember them? They went to sea in a pea green boat, got married by turkey using rings from the nose of pig? No? Google it, you won’t be sorry. At the end of the poem the newlywed Owl and Pussycat are hand in hand on the edge of the sand while they dance by the light of the moon. I hope the Pussycat was wearing this bracelet, it would capture that blue moonlight and reflect it back with abandon.
This fantastic moonstone bracelet is set with those gorgeous, glowing blue moonstones that have the kind of phenomenal adularescence I’m always searching for. The center panel of this 6.5 inch long bracelet is set with a cluster of moonstones, an oval of .82 carats surrounded by 10 round stones which add up to about 1.2 carats in total. The rest of the bracelet is made up of slightly graduating round cabochon cut stones, the largest of which measures 7.6x7.6x3 mm and the smallest of which measures 5.9x5.9x2.7 mm. The total carat weight in moonstones is approximately 16.2 carats. This bracelet measures 16.1 mm north to south at the widest point and sits 5.3 mm off the wrist at the highest point. This fully hand crafted bracelet is made in sterling silver and has a hidden clasp and safety chain. It is unmarked and weighs 10.2 grams.
And hand in hand by the edge of the sand, they danced by the light of the moon, the moon, the moon. They danced by the light of the moon. ~ Edward Lear

Octagonal 22k Gold Engraved Wedding Band Ring
$ 980.00
I recently got dragged into a new jewelry store with a friend. While she was speaking to the jeweler, I had a chance to browse the cases. I spent a few minutes looking at the wedding bands and it made me a bit sad. They were all so similar, all cast and very boring. I think a wedding ring should be as unique as the wearer, that’s why I’m always on the lookout for beauties like this!
This vintage wedding band is crafted in 22 karat gold and has an octagonal shape with floral engravings on each flat side. The ring is fully hallmarked with marks that show that it was made in Birmingham, England in 1954 of 22k gold. This ring is a size 8 and would be very difficult if not impossible to resize. The ring measures 4 mm wide all the way around and weighs 3.8 grams.

Victorian Silver Pink Coral Rose Bud Earrings
$ 780.00
What’s in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call’d,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name;
And for that name, which is no part of thee,
Take all myself.
A lot of people think that ‘wherefore art thou Romeo?’ is Juliet looking for her man. It’s not. The word wherefore actually means ‘why’, she is asking why he is a child of the house of her families sworn enemy, why he has to have that name of all the names. Almost everyone, though, knows what you are saying when you say that a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. And we can all see pretty clearly that these fantastic rosebud earrings are so beautifully crafted that you could swear you smell their fragrance whenever you get near.
Hand crafted in Victorian times, these sterling silver beauties showcase pink coral ‘buds’ in detailed leafy mounts. The earrings measures 38.6 mm from top to bottom and 15.4 mm across. They are opposite facing earrings and are unmarked but have been carefully tested as silver, together they weigh 5.2 grams.

Antique Victorian Mizpah Band Ring 3 Color 18k Gold Hallmarked 1881
$ 1,480.00
The term 'Mizpah' is found in Genesis 31:49, it means 'watchtower' and is used as a blessing, meaning "May the Lord keep watch between you and me when we are away from each other". You just know that those sentimental Victorians had to use this romantic and wonderful phrase in their art and jewelry! This ring would likely have been considered a 'sweetheart ring' and would have been given by a gentleman to his lady love interest to show his intention to court her.
This charming three tone Mizpah ring is hand crafted in 18 karat gold. It was made in Chester, England in 1881 and is fully hallmarked. The ring spells out the word Mizpah in Gothic letters of pink and greenish gold on a band of yellow gold. The band measures 9 mm wide all the way around; it is a size 5.5 US and weighs 5.2 grams.
I just fell in love with this sentimental sweetheart of a ring!

Edwardian Peridot Pearl and Amethyst Gold Pendant Suffragette Colors
$ 1,050.00
Anyone who knows just a little bit about Suffragette jewelry will tell you that there is a lot of debate as to wether or not it even existed outside of a few rare examples. I'm not here to argue the point, if you'd like I'd be happy to send you many links supporting both sides. The truth of it, as far as I can tell, is that 'The Women's Social and Political Union' in England was a group of courageous and strong women who stood up as one and demanded to be counted. The colors of the flags they waved and the buttons they wore were purple to symbolize the instinctual need in all of us for freedom and dignity, white to symbolize purity, and green, symbolic of hope and the color of Spring and new life.
Of course any large social and political movement has an inevitable effect on fashion and so these colors did become quite fashionable at the time and many an Edwardian lady could be found decked out in the somewhat odd combination of green, white and purple. It follows, then, that Edwardian jewelry began to be made in these colors as well. Whether this lovely pendant was made to symbolize the Suffrage Movement or simply made in the colors of the time we will never know, is it the chicken or the egg? Was it subversive? Probably not. More likely it had to do with an outward expression of camaraderie, of hope and the longing for a brighter future, something many of us can relate to today.
This fantastic Edwardian pendant has great Art Nouveau lines and styling; it was hand crafted in 9 karat gold in England in about 1900-1910. This beautiful piece is set with a bright and glowing oval faceted peridot at it’s center, the stone measures 6.7x5.2x3.1 mm and weighs about .75 carats. Surrounding the peridot are 30 creamy white pearls which vary in size from 1.3 to 2.3 mm and a teardrop of Amethyst hangs from the bottom, about .4 carats of rich, violet beauty. This pendant measures 44.4 mm from north to south and 28.6 mm across, it is marked with ‘9’ for 9 karat gold and it weighs 3.2 grams.

Antique Victorian Pinchbeck Banded Agate Snake Pendant
$ 580.00
There once was a clockmaker named Christopher Pinchbeck, the First. He worked on Fleet Street, in London, where he made clocks and musical instruments for the wealthiest of England and France. He crafted a now famous musical clock for King Louis XIV. In the year 1720, he created a metal that still bears his name. This metal had the look and feel of real gold and yet contained not one drop. Pinchbeck was a form of brass alloyed with copper and zinc. It looked so much like gold that he was always sure to clearly label any of this new material, he liked his customers to be accurately informed; he wasn’t out to trick others, but there were people along the way who try to pass off his metal as the real thing. His wonderful creation was used in jewelry of all sorts, including in replicas of the real thing which were often worn in stagecoaches where theft was high.
I don’t often buy (or sell) pinchbeck jewelry, but every once in awhile a piece comes along that is just too fantastic to pass on. Such was the way with this wonderful Victorian pendant. A golden snake spirals itself around the frame of a cabochon cut banded agate in shades of black and white. The reverse of the pendant is set with a locket with a frame and crystal cover. This locket pendant measures 56.1 mm from top to bottom and 35.7 mm across, it sits 15.6 mm high. The agate has taken a blow at some point in its life and you’ll notice a small fracture at about 9 o’clock, I forgave it because I thought it was such a fabulous piece and is in very stable condition. This unmarked pendant weighs 24.4 grams.

Art Nouveau Fob Locket Pendant Austrian Amazing

So, you might just have to forgive me if I buy it more for me than for you. I’m mean, I’m always willing to share, but I could happily own this fantastic piece for the rest of my life, so if you don’t want to buy it, I’m perfectly fine with that. If you want to buy it, I’ll pull it out of my personal jewel box for you, but I might grumble just a little.
This fantastic, and I do mean fantastic, Art Nouveau piece started life out as a watch fob, I’ve been wearing it as an exquisite statement pendant. It is handcrafted in silver with gold washed accents. The three part pendant has a dog clasp at the top to hang it easily from a watch chain or a collar and at the drop end it has a round locket edged in gold.

This fantastic bauble is fully finished front and back, it is hallmarked with marks that show it was made in Austria in the 1890s and has a makers mark of ‘FB’.

Antique Victorian Enamel Mizpah Locket 9k Gold
$ 980.00
Do you remember Stevie Wonder singing ‘I Just Called to Say I Love You’? He wasn’t calling because of the autumn breeze or falling leaves, not because it was New Years Day or he had chocolate covered candy hearts to give away. No, he was just calling to say I Love You. From the bottom of my heart. Just Love.
This Mizpah locket is a lot like that song. They didn’t have phones when it was made, though. You couldn’t just show up or text to let someone know you loved them. If you wanted to let them know, to let them know every hour of the day, all year round, like Stevie did, then you’d have to give them something that would let them know. This Mizpah locket was made to be such a thing. A thing to say I Love You.
Hand crafted in Victorian England in about 1880, this wonderful locket was done in 9 karat yellow gold and the front is embellished with blue and white enamel and the term ‘Mizpah’, from the bible this term means ‘May the Lord Watch between Thee and Me while we are Apart, One from Another’. This wonderfully sentimental locket measures 37.3 mm from north to south and 23.3 mm across, it is 9 mm thick and weighs 9.6 grams. It has two frames inside and bears no hallmarks, we’ve carefully acid tested it as 9 karat gold.
Tuck a photo of yourself inside, a lock of hair, a lucky clover. Doesn’t matter, it’ll still be there, saying I love you.

Antique Early Victorian Paste Silver Pendant Heart Locket
$ 380.00
It could be Georgian, this one, it’s difficult to say. I was willing to have it either way because I was charmed by it’s beauty and style. This fully hand crafted locket is done in sterling silver with a rose gold frame at the front and a fully opening locket at the back. The heart and bow was a very popular subject in the Georgian and early Victorian period and this one is just lovely!
This wonderful locket is set with 32 golden brown round faceted paste gems. Right now there is a piece of black fabric inside, but this could be removed so that a photo could be placed inside. Measuring 39.4 mm north to south and 21.2 mm across, this pendant/locket weighs 6.1 grams. It is marked with '925' for sterling silver and a hallmark that I can't quite make out. I believe it's Continental in origin and dates to between 1820-1850, it's very hard to pin down.

Antique Victorian Bohemian Garnet Earrings
$ 780.00
I love words and their history almost as much as I love jewels and their history. Take the word ‘Bohemian’ for example. You might think that someone is bohemian because they are artistic or unconventional in some exotic way. Why do we use this word for that? Well, the word Bohemian actually means someone from the country of Bohemia, in what is now the Czech Republic. For many centuries it was thought that Gypsies came from bohemia and gypsies had a reputation for living outside the norms, for being colorful and artistic.
The Victorians loved garnets and they referred to jewels set with clusters of small rose cut garnets as ‘Bohemian Garnet Jewelry’. Maybe that’s because it was exotic and colorful, like Gypsies, or maybe that’s because the garnets used in these jewels came from the country of Bohemia. I like to think it’s the gypsies.
These wonderful bohemian garnet earrings have great sparkle and movement. Set with a range of bright red garnets, these Victorian beauties were hand crafted in about 1880. The gold itself is low carat garnet gold, usually about 8 karat, and the earrings measure 36.8 mm from top to bottom and 17.5 mm across. Together these earrings weigh 4 grams.

Victorian Gold Pearl Diamond Cross Pendant
$ 1,750.00
I grew up going to a Presbyterian church in my hometown of Swarthmore, Pennsylvania. It was a beautiful old church, built in 1896 of stone and slate. When you entered into the church you could feel the history, I spent many an hour staring up into the steeply sloped dark wooden ceiling lined in heavy wooden beams. Buttressed along the walls, protruding into the room, were three dimensional carved wooden angles which seemed poised to take flight and fly out over the rows of pews. The walls were lined with deeply leaded stained glass in rich, dark tones of cobalt blue and gold, set into arched windows. I loved this church, but my absolute favorite service every year was the midnight service on Christmas Eve.
At the end of the service, they would turn out the lights and plunge the room into darkness. The Minister would light a single candle on either side of the isle and then the people lining the pews would light candles, passing the light from one to another and gradually, in silence, the room would fill with candlelight. Symbolic of Jesus, spreading the Light of Hope, of Good News. The flickers of hundreds of candles bouncing off the rich shiny wooden beams and ceiling gave the room an ageless feel, like slipping back in time. When all of the candles were lit, the congregation would sing ‘Silent Night’, a Capella, and at the end we would blow out our candles, plunging the room into darkness once more before filing out into the cold, still night.
This would be the perfect cross for that Christmas Eve service, or any service really. I guess it would be the perfect cross for lunch on a Tuesday as well. It’s religious, but not pious, beautifully spiritual but not puritanical. I had a bit of a hard time pinning down the age of this cross, I feel as though it’s quite early, possibly 1760s or so, based on the construction. This gorgeous cross is set with 32 pearls of various sizes, the center pearl measures 4 mm across and the remaining pearls measure from between 1.5 and 2.5 mm; they are very white and bright with excellent luster and an unevenness which indicates they may be fully natural. The center stone and top bale are set with rose cut diamond, one at the top and 12 surrounding the center. This early cross is unmarked but acid tests as 15 karat gold. The cross measures 38.8 mm from top to bottom and 22.6 mm across and weighs 3.6 grams.
Swarthmore hasn’t been my home for many a long year, and yet every Christmas Eve I find myself longing for that service, for the hopeful light in the darkness and voices raised in song.
