Here’s the downside to selling my jewels online, you don’t actually get to feel them, hold them and get a gorgeous look at them on your person.

Silver Grape Leaves and Clusters Ring
$ 280.00
The grape motif is far from new. In Ancient times, it was a symbol for the Roman God Bacchus, the god of wine and vegetation.

This vintage silver grape and leaves ring was likely handcrafted in Denmark. It’s an oval shaped ring with winding shoulders on a size 8 band. It weighs 2.9 grams.

Victorian Scottish Granite Silver Brooch Dated 1867
$ 880.00
It’s not all that common of a job, the one that I have, and so often times when people ask me what I do, they are fascinated by the answer and pepper me with questions. Do you have a shop? (Not yet, coming soon) Nope, just online. Where do you get your jewelry? Europe, mostly England and France. Do you go there yourself? Yes, as often as I can. How do you know something is old? Experience, lots and lots of experience (and sometimes hallmarks and sometimes wonderful inscriptions). What’s the cooling thing you’ve sold? A snake carved from a mammoth tusk, but also, the things that have reunited family members with lost jewelry, like I once sold someone his three times great grandfathers memorial ring back.
This fantastic Silver Scottish Victorian brooch is all set to find its way back to its family, and with the power of the internet, it’s been known to happen. So, here goes, this brooch was a gift, from the members of a woman’s church. The inscription on the back reads “To Mrs Tho(ma)s Gardiner, by the members of the Free Church of Old Machar as a small token of their esteem. 15th May, 1867”. The Free Church of Old Machar is now called St. Machar, and is in Aberdeen, Scotland. This fantastic brooch was probably made by a local craftsman using native granite which has been carved into beautiful shapes, it was done around the year 1867. Hand crafted in sterling silver, this exquisite piece measures 59.1 mm across and 42.3 mm north to south, it weighs 25.4 grams. This piece has no marks other than the inscription, it tests as sterling silver.
Maybe you are related to the Mrs. Thomas Gardiner who was so highly esteemed by her church? Maybe you need to bring Great, Great, Great-grandmother’s brooch home?

Antique Enamel Masonic Fob Pendant 15k Gold Unusual
$ 720.00
The mystery of the Masons reaches back into history for centuries. Their secretive fraternal order began with the stonemasons, who were taught a highly skilled trade, appreciated throughout the world. The transformation of stones into geometric shapes was a treasured and useful knowledge. In England and Europe, they were responsible for building castles and cathedrals. The Masons have had a long and mysterious history, and as time progressed another group emerged from their order that encouraged secret handshakes, passwords, and gatherings, referred to as Speculative Freemasons. They became known for their charity work, elaborate and sometimes explainable temples, and secrecy. The square and compass, as featured on this fob, are the tools of the builder’s trade. They became symbols of the modern day Masonic order, which was founded in 1717, at a pub in London called The Goose and Gridiron. This was where the first official Speculative Free Masons pledged their allegiance
This impressive antique Victorian Masonic fob was handcrafted in England c. 1890. It is a stunning find as it quite substantial in size, finely detailed, hand enameled and impressively three dimensional. This gorgeous fob is steeped in symbolism which mostly remains a mystery to those who are not Freemasons. However, the miter square and compass featured on this pendant, have been known to mean that one should remember to true his actions by the square of virtue, and to circumscribe his passions and desires.
This piece was most likely a custom piece, made to order for a gentleman's watch chain. It bears no hallmarks, but it has been professionally acid tested and is made from 15k gold, and weighs 4.7 grams.

1940's Olympic Silver Enameled Panel Necklace
$ 1,200.00
The first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens, Greece in 1896. Named after the fabled games of the ancient Greeks which were held at the temple of Zeus in Olympia between the 8th and 4th centuries, BC. Having grown up with the games, the idea of them doesn’t seem all that unusual to me, but of course when you think of it, it was a revolutionary sort of act, the idea of bringing together the entire world to compete in a spirit of sport and camaraderie. The first Olympic Games brought together 14 countries and 241 athletes, the last Olympics hosted almost 3,000 athletes from over 90 countries around the world.
This wonderful necklace was almost certainly made for the 1948 Olympics which were held in London after World War II had caused the cancellation of the 1940 and 1944 games. The city still had shortages due to the war and had minimal notice to prepare but the rose magnificently to the challenge and put on show that helped to heal the broken world. This necklace is an ode to the Olympics of old, the center features the iconic Olympic Rings colored in enamel, and the sides show six different Olympic sports with their greek names. The necklace is 18 inches long, the largest panel at the bottom is 24.5x19.3 mm and the smaller panels are 15.5x11.5 mm, the Olympic Rings measure 33.5x13.7 mm. This necklace weighs 22.5 grams.
A wonderful piece of history made in England around 1948 of sterling silver.

He had a spinner fob with a glowing chunk of citrine at the bottom and a lion at the top, he kept spinning it and sending rainbows about the train car. She bounced her baby on her lap as he watched with glee the rainbows from the fob. This seemed to make the man even happier and he finally burst out that he was on his way home, that his wife was about to have their first child and that he’d promised he’d be there.

Antique Edwardian Garnet Solitaire Ring 9k Gold
$ 750.00
Silver bells chimed melodically around me as I strolled through the streets of London. Snow peppered the ground in large flakes, decorating the cobblestones with glitter and tiny white stars. It was unusually cold, and the Christmas trees were lit with colored lights, nutcracker decorations, silver tinsel, and dark red cranberries. I was meeting a long time supplier out for an evening of champagne and show and tell, and as we settled at a table near the fire in one of my favorite pubs, she opened a velvet box and I saw this ring glow like a deep rich fire. I don’t typically go speechless, but it was nearing Christmas, and miracles do happen. I walked back out into the snowy London streets wearing this garnet wrapped in gold, like an early present for my hand.

Vintage Old European Cut Diamond Eternity Ring Wedding Band

Have you ever seen those ads where they say that thing about diamonds being forever? Well, it’s true, you know, they were here long, long before us and will be here long after. There may or may not be life on other planets, it may or may not be advanced, but there are most certainly diamonds out there. Here on Earth, or out in the cosmos, diamonds are forever.

They measure approximately 3x3x2 mm and weight approximately 2.10 carats in total weight, they are lively, bright and clean stones.

Antique Georgian Cross Paste Gold Pendant
$ 4,200.00
The Georgian Era saw quite a few upheavals in fashion and culture in its 100 + year history. While fashion influenced jewelry design, and different gems saw their popularity rise and fall, one constant throughout was the cross. Both a sign of ones faith and devotion, the cross was also fully a part of the fashion of the times. For most it was a part of their daily wear. Depending on social status and wealth, one might own a gem set cross, an unadorned cross of gold, silver or even one carved from agate or jet. For those special occasions though, if one were of a certain status in Georgian society, there were crosses that were almost as much a celebration of a jeweler's skill and inspiration as they were a celebration of the divine. Inspired by the beauty of the natural world, the end of this era saw intricate designs, with metal smiths using twisted gold wire in foliate designs called cannetille work. With an emphasis on intricacy and exquisite detail, this style choice made to celebrate god's creation also made the piece pop with just one glance. This stunning late Georgian cross is an excellent example of this level of craftsmanship.
Made in England around 1820, this antique 18k gold cross pendant and brooch was handcrafted by a master jeweler at the height of the Georgian era. This breathtaking piece showcases superb gold smith work with five large and lively blue paste stones set in the shape of a cross. Pastes? You say? Yes, that's right, at the time when this cross was made, paste gems were the cutting edge of technology and as such were extremely coveted, for a time they cost more than gems of the same quality and size. Fit for court, this regal cross measures an impressive 82.5 x 62.5 mm and it weighs 22.8 grams. Though unmarked, it has been professional acid tested for gold content.
This breathtaking cross shows off the skills of a master goldsmith that can only be found in Georgian Era jewelry. It’s a collector’s piece and when worn, it has bragging rights!

She was standing by the fireplace when he glimpsed her from across the room, she was wearing blue velvet and her jewelry was set with fiery orange stones that danced and glowed in the firelight. It took all his might, but he stilled his rapidly beating heart and walked across the room to her, murmuring occasional greetings as he past friends, his eyes locked on hers. He filled her dance card and they laughed late into the night, the first of what would come to be a lifetime of dancing.
These wonderful Austro-Hungarian earrings were hand crafted around 1890 and are beautifully decorated. Each ear is set with 7 round faceted garnets (these stones really sparkle it’s possible that they are doublets, but I can’t tell due to how they’re set), each ear also had two creamy white pearls and an accent of blue and white enamel.
