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.

(Please note, while this stunning brooch is in excellent overall condition, there is one very small split in the gold work, of which I have included a close up. This minor split can be expertly laser repaired by my jeweler at no charge if desired, but I have not done so before listing it because in my opinion it is minor enough that it does not affect the visual beauty or structural integrity of the brooch.)

15k Gold Victorian Engraved Oval Locket Pendant
$ 920.00
Lockets began to appear in Europe sometime during the 16th century. They were worn to keep safe religious relics, good luck charms, perfumed sponges, or even tiny love letters. Ladies of the court liked to fill theirs with scented oils, and had them made specially into vinaigrettes, as the ballroom heat could cause quite a bit of fainting. By the height of the Victorian age wearing a locket was considered essential for day wear, especially after Prince Albert gifted his beloved Queen Victoria a bracelet of nine heart lockets, one for each of their children. Once they had reached the height of courtly fashion, 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.
Exquisitely engraved on both sides, this Victorian beauty was handcrafted around 1880. Made entirely in 15 karat gold and featuring unique floral and geometric pattern on both sides, this elegant oval beauty measures 50.6 x 29.6 x 9.4 mm and weighs 10 grams. While there are no hallmarks, it has been professionally acid tested for metal content. Holding two frames inside, this timeless treasure is ready to hold whatever keepsakes you want close to your heart!

Art Deco Opal Diamond Cluster Ring 18k Gold Platinum
$ 880.00
'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. Its origins go back to a time long before our memory, to the ancient dream time of the Australian aborigines. It is reported in their legends that the creator came down to Earth on a rainbow, in order to bring the message of peace to all the humans. And at the very spot, where his foot touched the ground, the stones became alive and started sparkling in all the colors of the rainbow. That was the birth of the Opals.' - ICGA website
Opals always seem to me to be lit from within with their own internal flames. Flashes of red and yellow, orange, blue and green make this gorgeous opal and diamond ring a feast for the eyes!
This perfect opal and diamond cluster ring was hand crafted in 18 karat and platinum around 1930, in the heart of the Art Deco era. The star of the show is an oval, cabochon cut opal which reveals new colors and light from every angle. Bezel set in gold to accentuate it's beauty, this stunning gem measures 5.1 x 4.3 x 2.2 mm and weighs approximately .3 carats. It is surrounded by a halo of 8 old cut diamonds, weighing roughly .4 carats, which twinkle with your every move. Additionally, each shoulder is accented with a single rose cut diamond accented by platinum bright work. The ring weighs 2.2 grams, and was likely originally marked with an "18ct&Plat" mark but the 18ct part has been sized out at some point. It has however, been professionally acid tested to verify it's gold content, and tests as 18k. The top of the ring measures 9.6 mm north to south, 8.8 mm across, it sits 5 mm off the finger, and the band narrows to 1.9 mm at the back. This ring is a US size 5.

Gorgeous Enamel Miniature Baby Portrait Pendant Locket 15k Gold Pearls
$ 1,800.00
Sometimes a jewel is just the sum of its parts, take a diamond and set it in some platinum, boom! You’re done. Other times a jewel is much more along the lines of art, much more than that sum of its parts, much more than oil paints and canvas. It certainly keeps my job interesting, finding that happy balance between the two.
This stunningly crafted pendant definitely falls on the side of art. The jewel itself is beautifully hand crafted in 15 karat gold with a bloomed finish and is enamel with a bright, cobalt blue enamel over a patterned gold to give it a three dimensional feel. It is set with four creamy white pearls that all appear to be original to the piece. The star, though, of course, is this fantastically executed miniature enamel painting of a cherubic baby in a white, probably Christening, gown.
I don’t think that this wonderful piece is a memorial piece, although the back does hold a locket set with a plait of finely woven hair behind a crystal. I think it’s rather a mother’s piece, a celebration of a beautiful baby.
The pendant measures 44.5 mm from top to bottom and 28 mm across, it’s marked on the back with ’15ct’ for the gold content and ‘H&Co’ for the maker, possibly Hamilton and Company. This fabulous English piece dates to about 1880-1890, it weighs 7.5 grams and is in wonderful condition with no notable nicks to the enamel.

$ 880.00
You may well have noticed that I have a pretty strong fondness for these Art Nouveau slide lockets. I really can’t help myself, it’s the craftsmanship, you see, the details, they make my eyes dance with joy. Get a little closer to this one, no really, closer still, look at all those details, the flowers so realistic you can almost smell them, the background shimmers like water, the leaves blow in the breeze. So, maybe you can start to understand my weakness for these gorgeous little works of art.

Stylish Edwardian Garnet Necklace Plumy Cabochon Drops
$ 2,250.00
Hello lovely, jubley, drippy, juicy, and all around fabulous Garnet Necklace. Every girl deserves one of these, but not every girl will get one. If you’re one of the lucky ones, you will soon find out that this necklace will spend very little time in your jewelry box. It will spend most of its time around your neck, and you might find it laying by the bed or next to the couch, but it’s not really one of those pieces that you’ll find yourself putting ‘away’.
This Edwardian era necklace is set with a glowing array of beautifully color matched rich, wine red garnets cut in cabochons of color. Five ovals, two rounds and seven tear drops of smooth, shiny garnet are there to capture every stare and every compliment. Set in the English way in 9 karat gold, this necklace doesn’t have to scream to make a statement. It’s 18.5 inches long and is set with a whopping 54.85 carats of garnets, the largest stone measures about 5.2 carats. The gold is marked with .375 for the 9 karat content. I think that the chain at the back of this necklace is a slightly newer replacement as it doesn’t quite match the links of the drops at the front, but it suits it quite nicely. The necklace weighs 16.8 grams.

Swirling Edwardian Sapphire Diamond Ring 18k Platinum
$ 2,900.00
The dress was blue and hand sewn with thousands of sequins which traveled in stripes down its length and spilled onto the train, forming a shimmering pool around her feet. She had to look perfect tonight and when she donned this dress, she had a feeling that she’d gotten it just right. She pinned three diamond stars into her hair and added a drop of sapphire at her neck and she was ready.
“Not yet”, her husband said, and she turned to look at him with an inquisitive eyebrow raised, “you need this…”
With that he pulled out a small blue and gold leather box and placed it in her palm. She pushed the little button at the front and the case opened to reveal an exquisite sapphire and diamond ring, the perfect thing to make her the true belle of the ball.
Edwardian sapphire and diamond dress ring, hand crafted in about 1910, this European ring is made with 18 karat gold and platinum. The bright blue sapphires are set in a vertical triplet with slightly larger stones at the top and bottom.

Diamond set leaves swirl around the gems and contain 8 old European cut diamonds which add up to 0.25 carats and add flash and sparkle.
The face of this wonderful ring measures 15 mm from top to bottom and about 16.75 mm across, it has a low profile and sits 3 mm off the finger at the highest point, it narrows to 1.4 mm at the back of the band.

Antique Edwardian Diamond Cluster Ring 18k Gold
$ 5,750.00
The sky was stunningly blue as they walked through fields covered in birds foot violets in all shades of purple. She lost her breath a bit on the steep uphill climb, but tried to cover it by stopping here and there along the trail to take a photo of a stunning flower or interesting tree. When they got to the top, every step became worthwhile as the cliff beneath them dropped off revealing the entire valley below them. The sun was getting close to the rim of the hills and the sky was going on sublime array of colors of orange, pink and gold. When he got down on one knee, she thought that they were sitting and so plopped down beside him. Only when she saw the sun catch the sparkle in his hand did she realize what was happening and pop back up onto her feet, her eyes going wide. The ring in his hand caught all the colors of the sunlight as he held it out, his laughter at her antics was all the proposal she needed. Yes, oh, yes, this man was her person, now and forever.
This fantastic diamond ring would make an excellent and unusual engagement or wedding band (or both all in one!). Hand crafted in London, England in 1905, this fully hallmarked ring is set in 18 kart gold, the old European cut diamonds add up to 23 in all and the total diamond weight is approximately 1.5 carats. The face of this ring measures 9.5 mm north to south and 18.2 mm across, it sits 5.1 mm off the finger and narrows to 2.3 mm at the back of the band. This size 6 ring weighs 3.6 grams. The ring is marked with the crown for England, the Leopard Head for London, the year date k for 1905, an ’18’ for the gold karat and it has a makers mark but I couldn’t quite make it out.
You’ve done the hard part, you’ve found your person, this ring is the easy part, it catches the eye and won’t let it go!

Antique Victorian Gold Compass Anchor Fob Pendant
$ 840.00
Often given as a symbol of affection so that lovers separated could find their way back to each other, this wonderful anchor compass, having a decidedly nautical flair, was surely given by a woman to her lover to guide him safely back to her arms from sailing the stormy seas!
Set in 15 karat gold, this stout anchor shaped pendant (originally worn as a man's watch fob) is set with a lovely hand painted compass. The compass mechanism is perfectly set and mounted and still points to true North. On the back, the points of the compass are lovingly hand engraved. This pendant measures 30 mm long including the bale, is 15.4 mm across, 6 mm deep and weighs 5.2 grams. The detailing on this compass is so sweet and wonderful, it would look especially stunning worn around the neck on a period watch chain, but would also be equally fashionable on a simple cord or link chain. Though it is unmarked, the metal has been professionally acid tested to verify its gold content. It was most certainly made in England at the height of the Victorian era, around 1880.
This charming pendant would make a fantastic gift for that special someone you always want to be able to find their way back to you!

Antique Russian Red Spinel Diamond Cluster Ring 14k Gold
$ 8,750.00
King Henry V is pretty well known for winning the battle of Agincourt. “Once more unto the breach, Dear Friends”, ring a bell? Well, on one of my many trips to visit my friends the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London, I engaged a beefeater guard in lively discourse. He told me that the Black Prince’s Ruby was really a Spinel (which, of course, I already knew).
“Oh, really,”, I replied, trying to coax more information from him.
“And do you know why it’s set with a ruby?”, now he had me, that I did not know.
The guard proceeded to tell me a story I’d never heard, about how that same King, Henry V, had the spinel drilled through the center so that he could wear it like a bead on a cord, for luck during the fighting in France. He told me of how the stone was lost during the great battle and of how the King sent his entire army back to the battlefield to look for it. It took 3 weeks for them to find it, under a dead French soldier.
This spinel likely never spent 3 weeks under a dead Frenchman, but it has that same rich, dark, look and luster of the famous stone in the Crown Jewels. It is surrounded by a halo of fabulously bright old European cut diamonds which set the spinel to singing with a fiery glow. The rectangular, cushion cut spinel is a natural stone which measures 8.92 x 7.14 x 5.51 mm and weighs approximately 2.78 carats. It is surrounded by a ring of 12 old Mine cut diamonds which are 0.073-0.092 carats each and weigh about .98 carats in total and the shoulders are each set with a single cut diamond of .03 carats.
This ring was hand crafted in about 1880, most likely in Russia. It has hallmarks to the back of the band which are too worn to totally make out, but under a microscope I find them to be closest to Russian marks. Also, the ring tests as 14 karat gold, which is consistent with Russian jewelry at the time. The face of this ring measures 13.9 mm north to south and 6.6 mm wide and it sits 6 mm off the finger. This ring is a size 7.75 and weighs 3.4 grams, it could be resized to suit.
This ring has been appraised and graded by a GIA Graduate Gemologist who specializes in Antique and Estate jewelry, it has a replacement value of $13,500 USD. Please inquire if you’d like a full copy of the appraisal for review.

Swedish 1920 Faceted French Jet Necklace Silver Gilt
$ 750.00
I’m not one for fancy hotels, I prefer an upscale AirBnb, but I do like to swing by the Hemingway Bar at the Ritz when I’m in Paris, or stop into the Savoy in London for a drink after the theatre. If you don’t mind paying silly money for the experience, you can get a pretty great cocktail to go along with it. I only mention it because a necklace like this will take you a long way in a place like the Ritz. You’ll want to look good. But not too good. Posers will drip in diamonds, spoiled brats will show up in pajamas. I recommend a black jumpsuit with a little structure or a little black dress, a wrap against the air conditioning and this necklace. It says that you know what you’re doing, that you comfortable wherever you are, that you’re just as at home here as you’d be at Pat O’Brien’s having a Hurricane (you could rock it there with a tank top and some flip-flops, see where I’m going here?).
This fabulous necklace was made in Sweden in 1920, it’s set with a suite of large, chunky, faceted French Jet (a form of black glass) panels. It has a modern look even though it’s 100 years old! This beauty is 15.5 inches long and the largest of the panels measures 31.5 x 23 mm for reference. This necklace has all kinds of hallmarks, one for ‘I. Sundstrom’, the maker, and for Sweden, 1920 and silver, it weighs 29.1 grams.

Antique Edwardian Opal Diamond Ring 18k Gold
$ 1,640.00
Unmistakably Dutch, the tall woman ordered her double espresso at Café Thijsseen off the Brouwersgracht in Amsterdam. As she reached for her warm caffeine fix, a flash like a summers day caught my eye, her hand showing a ring adorned in opals and diamonds. It was a simple transaction between the barista and this strangely elegant dutch woman. And yet, the play of light on her finger laid a mystery. How did this Edwardian gem come to her? I gazed and wondered as she walked off toward the east and the sun-drenched canal beyond, what adventures lay in her future and where that ring might find itself another 100 years or so. Before the thought could pass my lips and questions could be asked or answers uncovered, she strode away, entirely and blissfully unaware of her audience, and into the sun and warmth of a dreamy Amsterdam day.
This opal and diamond Edwardian gold ring was handcrafted in Birmingham, England, in 1908. It is a size 8 US and was made in a warm 18 karat yellow gold. It holds three large, perfectly matched cabochon opals accented by four sparkling rose cut diamonds. The larger center opal measures 7.1 x 4.7 x 1.9 mm and the two side opals measure 5.8 x 4.5 x 1.2 mm and 5.5 x 4 x 1.3 mm with a total approximate weight of .6 carats. The ring face measures 8.9 mm x 18 mm, sits 4.5 mm off the finger and the band width is 3.5 mm at the back. This elegant piece is fully hallmarked and bears the crown mark for England, the gold purity mark “18” for 18 karat gold, the anchor for Birmingham, the date letter, “i” for 1908, and a maker’s mark that reads, “F.H.L.”.
Full of a lifetime and more of adventures yet to come, let this Edwardian stunner give you the moment in the sun you deserve!

Georgian Silver Gilt and Carnelian Fob Seal Pendant
$ 320.00
This delightfully carved intaglio seal features a Lilly of the Valley blossom surrounded by the words "La Candeur", which translates from the French as "The Pure" or "The Innocent". Often used to represent children during Georgian and Victorian times, the lily of the valley motif and the use of this phrase indicate that this fob belong to someone who was involved with their care, protection and well being. The fine hand carving of the intaglio is done in a richly colored piece of carnelian, and is set into an ornate silver gilt fob that would make a wonderful and unusual pendant. Most likely this intaglio was purchased on the continent during a Grand Tour and brought back to England to be set into this silver gilt fob around the year 1820.
A wonderfully sentimental piece, and quite the conversation starter, this fob measures 21.7 x 13.2 x 15.5 mm and weighs 4.4 grams. While it is unmarked, this sterling silver fob has been professionally acid tested for metal purity. Though a light gold gilt finish is still visible, this layer is to light to be tested.

It’s an odd thing, but maybe you feel it too; that there are just some lines that make the eye happy? Why it is, I couldn’t say, but it’s the thing that makes me completely vulnerable to the charms of a beautiful, swooping, Art Nouveau ring like this one.

Victorian Engraved Gold Locket Shield Heart
$ 620.00
He sailed away, out to sea and into the dark green waters and the unknown beyond, and it stung his heart to see her there, on the shore, waving goodbye, no knowing but hoping it was just for now. This time though he had left her a present at home to remind her that he would never not be thinking of her.
He knew she would walk home, slowly, stopping in the market for cheeses and warm crusty breads. She would sit on her couch and reach for her book on the table where she would find a box. And in that box she would discover a locket that he bought weeks ago, waiting for just the right moment to gift it. Then he thought better.
He laughed to himself that night, picturing her running to her friend’s house to tell her all about it. He slept well knowing that he and she would never part, even with the distance.
Loaded with the romantic symbolism of the times, this Victorian shield shaped locket was handcrafted in 9 karat gold and engraved on both sides with an abundant floral motif, surrounding an elegant, elongated heart on the front. It is unmarked but has been professionally acid tested for content, testing as 9k gold, and was made in England around 1890. It weighs 4.5 grams and measures 33.6 x 19.8 x 5.6 mm.
This lovely locket would certainly make the perfect surprise gift for the one you would never be parted from!

Antique French Silver Gilt Plique a Jour Pendant Virgin Mary
$ 600.00
Hold this beauty up to the window and witness the light of day shining through; the French called it just that ‘Plique a Jour’ for ‘Light of Day’. This beautiful Art Nouveau St. Mary pendant was handcrafted in France around 1900. It features the Virgin Mary at the center of a brightly colored design of swooping enamel. While I do sometimes come across these wonderful Mary pendants with plique a jour panels, I was particularly impressed by this one with it’s multitudes of color. Red, green and two colors of blue add something extra to this piece. This antique round silver pendant has been gilded and still retains some of its golden tone. It bears no marks, but it signed ‘P.L Dasset’, a French artist that I’ve had other pieces by over the years. Overall, this piece measures 31 mm north to south and 23 mm across, and it weighs 4.6 grams.
This faithful little pendant would look elegant on a thin gold chain around the wrist or on the neck.

A man who believes in the value of a well cut suit, a man who wears a vintage Cartier watch because he wants to, not because he needs it to tell him the time. The phrase that come to mind when I see a man in cufflinks is "Very well turned out!".
Imported into London, the center of the 70's fashion scene, these quintessentially modern, and timelessly stylish Georg Jensen cufflinks are fully hallmarked with both the Danish marks for Sterling silver and the Jensen marks, as well as the import city code for London and letter date for the year 1972. They weigh 17.6 grams and measure 21.1 mm across the face. Done in Jensen's classic wheat sheaf design, these mid century modern essentials for the well heeled Londoner would look just as fashionable today on you!

Victorian Sardonyx Memorial Ring 18k Gold In Memory Of
$ 1,400.00
Here’s a little tip for you from a buyer of old jewels. English hallmarks have gotten smaller over time. The assay marks that were used even fifty years ago were larger than they are now, and the hallmarks used a hundred years ago were bigger still. So, when I’m shopping for jewels in the markets of London, I always get a little thrill when I look at a piece of jewelry and see large hallmarks, because I know that it will have an early date!
This ring has just those kinds of big hallmarks, a big crown and queen to tell us it’s English, a big Anchor that tells us it was made in Birmingham, England’s jewelry making center in Victorian times and the letter N, which is the date code for the year 1862. It also has the mark ’18’ for 18 karat gold and a makers mark of ‘C.G.’. This hand crafted beauty is a fantastic memorial ring with an unusual shape, it is set with a smooth oval of sardonyx and the stone is surrounded by a ribbon of enamel in black that contains the phrase ‘In Memory Of’. This beautiful and very wearable ring is a size 8 and weighs 4.6 grams. The face of the ring measures 12.5 mm from north to south and 16.4 mm across, it sits 3.5 mm off the finger and narrows to 2.9 mm at the back of the band.

There are universals in life. It’s not the death and taxes kind of universals I’m talking about though. No, I’m talking fashion. There are universals here too. Things that will get you a long way, staples if you will. A little black dress with the just the right drape in just the right fabric, a cashmere sweater that thicker than most, the perfect pair of boots that you can walk in all day and are still cute enough to take you dancing, that kind of universal. A pair of diamond earrings, a perfect gold chain, you know, universals.
This chain is just such a thing, it will take you from day into night, from the city to the country, from spring through the following winter. This one is 32 perfect inches of hand crafted French 18 karat gold goodness.

Victorian Scottish Silver Agate Earrings Citrine Drops
$ 1,250.00
Queen Victoria held balls at Balmoral and dressed in full Tartan as did most of her guests, earrings like these would have been rocked at a ball like that, along with plaids and sashes. Many of these jewels weren’t actually produced in Scotland, though, often they were made in England, in places like Birmingham, and then exported up to Scotland to be be scooped up by English tourists!
Here is a very particularly fabulous pair of ‘Scottish’ earrings, also sometimes called ‘Pebble Jewelry’ because they are often set with agate rock. This pair is set with bloodstone and carnelian gems and have brightly sparkling round faceted citrine drops. They are beautifully hand crafted and they are large enough to make a great statement; they measure 51 mm from top tot bottom and 16.7 mm across at the widest part. Together this pair weighs 7.6 grams. This pair is unmarked but has been acid tested as sterling silver.
Hand crafted, most likely in England, in about 1870.
