French Pierrot Lunaire Silver Slide Locket Antique Art Nouveau
$ 1,063.00 $ 1,250.00
Here he is, sweet Pierrot, basking in the moonlight. This well loved and wayward clown was the subject of literature and art going back to the late seventeenth century. He was seen as a somewhat tragic figure, always falling prey to his own naiveté.
The writer Albert Giraud published a series of 50 poems about Pierrot, called Pierrot Lunaire, or “Moonstruck Pierrot”. Many of the poems involved the moon; in one Pierrot does his white face makeup using moonlight, in another he dances drunkenly in moonlight. The poems would eventually be set to music by Arnold Schoenberg and the piece was premiered in Berlin in 1912 to great acclaim.
This absolutely fantastic French slide locket features Pierrot, in his skull cap, neck ruffle and flouncy attire, having a chat with an animated sliver of a moon. The reverse shows just clouds floating across a night sky. This beautiful and unusual locket contains two mirrors as was common for these, one is standard and the other is slightly convex so that the lady could see her whole face at once. This large locket measures 66.3 mm long including the bale and 38.4 mm across, it’s 8.2 mm deep and weighs 29 grams. The locket has a French silver mark and a French makers mark on the top ring.

Antique Arts & Crafts Enamel Silver Earrings
$ 374.00 $ 440.00
In 1861, the decorative arts firm of Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. was opened at No. 8 Red Lion Square in London and the Arts & Crafts movement was truly born. The firm, which at first created only fabrics, carpets, carved wood and stained glass, eventually expanded into all reaches of the decorative arts including jewelry. Other Arts & Crafts firms followed, notably with Liberty & Co. opening in 1874 on Regent Street, and by 1880 the Arts & Crafts movement was in full swing.
Made in England around 1900, these exceptional earrings are a wonderful example of the kind of jewelry that came out of the Art & Crafts era. Stunningly beautiful in their simplicity, these silver beauties are highlighted with blue and green shades of enamel. They are a lovely pair which measure 24 mm from top to bottom and 9.4 mm across.

Victorian Cross Carved Intaglio Seal Pendant
$ 833.00 $ 980.00
There is a story of the first Christian Roman Emperor, Constantine, which says that when he was marching with his army, he looked up to the sun and saw a cross of light above it. The cross contained the Greek words ‘Had Vince’, translated as ‘in this sign you will conquer’. At first Constantine was confused by this, but then Christ appeared to him in a dream and told him that he should use the sign of the cross to vanquish his enemies.
This antique Victorian bloodstone seal pendant was handcrafted in England around 1850. It’s a 15 karat gold fob seal with a rectangular flat cut intaglio bloodstone at the base. The stone is carved with the image of a glowing cross and the words, “Hac Vince”. This fob seal measures 27 x 18 x 15.9 mm and it weighs 9.8 grams. It bears no marks and has been acid tested.

Fanciful Antique 18k Gold French c. 1900 Necklace
$ 1,802.00 $ 2,120.00
Remember that game you used to play when you were little?

Want to see if you like gold? Frame your neckline with this luxurious gold necklace. It will surely brighten up not only your face, but your entire day!
Crafted by a delicately controlled hand, this fantastic collar has the warmth, softness and luster that only gold can impart. It is 18 inches long and weighs 18.8 grams.

Stunning Victorian Paste Silver Star Brooch
$ 442.00 $ 520.00
In Victorian times, paste was more than a fashion statement; it was a matter of security as well. Women were known to have entire diamond suites of jewels replicated in silver and paste in order to be safer when going out in public, if they were robbed, at least they weren’t loosing a priceless heirloom. A gem like this one may well have been made as an exact copy of the real thing, and it’s so amazingly sparkly that no one would have ever known!
This stunning paste version of the iconic Victorian star brooch has sparkles in spades! It was hand crafted around 1880, most likely in England. This star is set with 55 round faceted paste gems which are old cut in fashion. The sparkling star is done all in silver and is marked on the back with ‘925’, the brooch is quite large, it measures 43.9 mm north to south and 44.3 mm across, it has a brass pin stem and a C catch. It’s a beautifully made piece which weighs 18 grams.
If you’re looking for a fabulous star brooch at a fraction of the price of diamonds, here is your chance. Rock this baby with just about anything, they won’t know it’s not precious gems and I promise not to tell!

Antique Silver Enamel Hound Dog Cufflinks
$ 842.00 $ 990.00
Excellence is in the details. The shine of a shoe, the knot of a tie, the link of a cuff. Not everyone will notice the details, and that's okay, they don't need to, it's the overall package that will shine. "What is it about that guy?” they will ask themselves, "how does he always seem so put together?". I know how. It's in the details.
These fantastic cufflinks are all about the details. Each is enameled with two hound dogs, one black and white, one brown and white. The may well have been custom made for a gent with two pups. These silver beauties were hand crafted around 1900, each link is 15.9 mm across at the face and 29.5 mm from face to face along the bar. They are marked ‘900’ for the silver content. I suspect they are continental in origin. Together these lovely links weigh 14 grams.

Antique Amethyst Paste Gold Cluster Ring Victorian
$ 1,088.00 $ 1,280.00
Your ring goes with springtime, it looks perfect in a wonderland of violets and dark purple tulips with robins in the sky. It goes with the smell of fresh rain and mint as you stroll the sidewalks of a small town, going in and out of antique stores. It goes with humming in the breeze, enjoying the tree buds and looking forward to the evening, when the stars will come out and the grass will dew and your love will be home.
This antique cluster ring was hand crafted in England in 9 karat gold in about 1850. The center stone is a cushiony oval of light purple amethyst in a gold pinched bezel surrounded by a halo of black dot, closed backed, pastes set in silver. I think that the top of this ring started life as a brooch or button and has been transformed at some point into this stunning ring. I purchased it this way and the shank is worn enough to show that this wasn’t done any time recently. The ring measures 19.7 mm north to south and 18.5 mm across, it sits 7.2 mm off the finger and narrows to 1.9 mm at the back of the band. This ring is unmarked but has been carefully acid tested; it is a size 7.5 and weighs 6.4 grams.
Ideal in any season, this ring will glitter in any light! Give yourself something special.

Vintage Italian Silver Crab Pendant Locket Fully Articulated
Sold Out - $ 723.00 $ 850.00
He’s not the kind of thing that I usually buy, but I was utterly helpless against his charms. The very best thing about him is the sound that he makes, his little arms and legs are so fully articulated that he makes a perfect imitation of a crab noise as he moves. It’s fascinating and endless fun.
This wonderful silver crab was hand crafted in Italy by O.P Orlandini for Uno A-Erre in the 1960s. He is actually a locket of sorts, maybe there to hold a seashell or some other treasure. This fantastic crab is fairly large in size, it measures 74.5 mm across at the widest point and 53.1 mm north to south, and it’s 13.7 mm deep. This lovely pendant is marked ‘Uno A Erra’, ‘O.P. Orlandini’ and ‘Mod. Dep’, as well as ‘800’ for the silver. This pendant weighs 53.3 grams. It needs a robust chain, please inquire if you need one.
My family owns a summer home on Cape Cod, and every summer we see these little fiddler crabs by the hundreds, clicking away just like this one.

Edwardian 5 Colored Diamond Ring 18k Gold .99cttw
$ 1,658.00 $ 1,950.00
Sometimes a piece might take a little detour through my personal jewelry box. Only the ones I really love get to take this side trip. This ring was in there for awhile and on my finger more often than not. I stacked it with two others, all white diamonds top and bottom and this beautiful array of yellow-green stones in the center. They look different in different lights, sometimes almost as white as the others, but when the light hit them right their true color jumped out and was truly mesmerizing to the eyes.
This hand crafted ring is ready to move on to a new owner, it’s gotten a bit large on me and I don’t wear it as much. It’s set with five Old European cushion cut diamonds, the center three are perfectly color-matched in a bright yellow kissed with green, the outer two are lighter in color. The total diamond weight is .99 carats. This ring measures 4.6 mm north to south and 19.6 mm across, it sits 3.9 mm off the finger and narrows to 1.2 mm a the back of the band. The ring is a size 8.5 US and weighs 3.5 grams.
This ring is marked inside the band with the makers mark “BP” and 18ct, it is also inscribed with “Fred, Nell 27-2-07”. This ring was probably made around 1905, likely in England.

Victorian 3 Moonstone Gold Ring 3.3cttw
$ 1,573.00 $ 1,850.00
Over on Instagram they like to have #MoonstoneMondays, but I think that a fabulous Moonstone ring like this one deserves to be worn every day of the week.
Three glowing blue moonstones are the lively stars of this ethereal show. This ring was hand crafted around 1890 of 18 karat gold. It was made in London, England and while it’s marked for the karat weight and the city of assay, it’s missing its year mark, likely due to resizing at some point in its life. The moonstones are cabochon cuts and the center stone measures 9x7.1x3.3 mm and weighs approximately 1.53 carats, the two side stones are about .92 and .87 in weight giving this ring a total weight in moonstone of 3.32 carats. The ring measures 9.8 mm north to south and 17.3 mm across, it sits 5.5 mm off the finger and narrows to 2.4 mm at the back of the band. This size 6 ring weighs 4.4 grams.

Victorian Old European Cut Diamond Solitaire Ring 18k Gold
$ 3,188.00 $ 3,750.00
Some people are the get down on one knee type, but that wasn’t him, he wasn’t a once in a while romantic, not a flowers and candy guy. He was an everyday romantic, he started the wood stove on cold winter mornings and made sure her oil was changed on time. He didn’t do things just once in awhile, he showed his love everyday. He didn’t get down on one knee, he just cooked breakfast like he did every Saturday and placed the ring on her placemat. She giggled when she saw it, it was so him. He was cooking with his back to her, but she slipped it on, slipped her arms around him and whispered in his ear, “a thousand times, yes”.
This gorgeous old ring was hand crafted in 18 karat gold around 1880. It is set with an oval shaped Old European cut diamond which measures 6x4.6x3.3 mm and weighs about .65 carats, the diamond is set into a silver bezel.

This wonderful ring would make an excellent engagement ring for a man or a woman.

Late Victorian 5 Sapphire Diamond Ring 18k Gold
$ 8,483.00 $ 9,980.00
We drove the five hours to the Lake house in one go, the beauty of a hybrid and careful beverage planning. It was dark on the back roads and darker still when we pulled off the gravel in front of the cabin. When we stepped out of the car, I gasped; the stars in the moonless night sky seemed close enough to grab and pull down to play with. We walked in the dark to the lake and watched the reflections of billions of stars dancing on the surface and twinkling overhead. This ring reminds me of that night, that rich blue sky reflected in the lake, the pop of diamonds like stars in the night sky.

Victorian Era Tassie Seal Ring 14k Gold Intaglio Signet
$ 2,040.00 $ 2,400.00
He put down the quill and picked up the wax, gently rotating it over the candle flame. This was the letter into which he had poured his heart, and he hoped against hope that it would soften her heart towards him. He was far away, fighting for King and country, but he thought of her constantly, recalling their witty rapport. He hoped her quick barbs were a cover for her affection for him, the way his were for her; he thought that they must be, as he’d often seen the laughter behind her eyes. In those laughing eyes he’d glimpsed the passion that brewed in her heart. He pressed his seal to the pool of hot wax and sealed the letter. And he hoped.
This antique Victorian era ring was handcrafted in Europe around 1880. It was made in 14 karat gold and is marked ‘585’. The oval seal is made of Tassie, a kind of early glass used in intaglio seals (named for its creator, James Tassie). It’s a translucent brownish-red color. It’s carved with the image of a Fleur-de-lis topped with a winged helmet and wreathed in swags of velvet. Tassies were generally made earlier than this ring and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the Tassie was originally set into a Georgian fob and later reset into this ring. The Tassie measures 13.2x10.2 mm and the face of the ring is 17.5 mm north to south and 18.6 mm across, it sits 3.1 mm off the finger and narrows to 3.2 mm at the back of the band. This size 8.25 ring weighs 5.3 grams.
This fantastic ring will add a bit of instant ancestry to your life, it’s a great conversation starter and equally suitable for a woman or a man.

Victorian Double Buckle Silver Ring Hallmarked 1883
$ 493.00 $ 580.00

Snakes and belts were two of their favorite forms to use when representing this love with no end, and this double belted buckle ring has probably made someone a fine wedding band once in it’s life already.
This stylish, wide, sterling silver band was hand crafted in Birmingham, England in 1883 and is a fully hallmarked piece by the maker “A.S”. The band measures 7.7 mm wide and is a size 7, it will fit a bit snug because of the wide width of the ring. The ring weighs 3.4 grams.

Early Victorian Citrine Gold Ring Foil Backed
$ 553.00 $ 650.00
He knew the moment he saw it that it would be perfect for her; it was sunny, like her disposition. Surely, it had a story, he didn’t know it, but he was sure she’d be able to tell it. She loved old things and was forever imagining their histories, she said they were little windows back in time. He loved her for this, and so much more.
This fantastic hand crafted early Victorian ring is set with an oval faceted citrine of a rich, sunflower yellow. The stone is a bit abraded from age and wear, this ring was probably made around 1850 and its age does show a bit on it’s face. I was more than happy to forgive it this flaw, as it’s generally in very good condition, the foil backed stone has that extra glow. The ring is a size 6.5 and while it’s unmarked it tests as 9 karat gold. The ring measures 11 mm north to south at the face and tapers to 2 mm wide at the back of the band, it sits 4.1 mm off the finger and weighs 2 grams. The citrine measures 7.5x5.1 mm.
A note from Victoria: This ring is foil backed, it’s fine for regular wear, but care should be taken to keep it dry. Put it in a pocket when washing your hands. If the foil gets wet it can rust and cause discoloration.

Lovely Georgian Pear Shaped Vinaigrette Locket Pendant Sterling Silver
$ 833.00 $ 980.00
When this gorgeous little Vinaigrette was made the streets of London, and really of any big city in Europe, were unpaved and trodden by horses. Horses that pooped. A lot. What was a lady to do when the streets were constantly offensive to ones sense of smell? Well, they had one of these, a Vinaigrette, a small trinket that was made to hold a sponge soaked with perfume. A lady would open it up and breath in a much improved scent. We don’t have these problems with horse paddies as much today, but there’s many a time on a subway in Manhattan at rush hour that I wouldn’t have minded having a Vinaigrette handy!
This Georgian beauty was hand crafted in sterling silver in the shape of pear. It is 34 mm high and 18 mm across at the widest part. Inside is a small cavity with a silver grate which would have held the sponge. The pendant was originally hallmarked but it’s gotten warn and the marks are no longer legible. This wonderful piece has been carefully acid tested for purity and weighs 4.7 grams.
Hand made in England in about 1820.

Georgian 15k Gold Turquoise Hair Memorial Ring Grapes
$ 1,343.00 $ 1,580.00
In Victorian times the symbol of Grapes was often a symbol of Christ and of the Christian Faith. This ring features a bunch of grapes, represented by bright blue Persian Turquoise, set onto a branch which is made up of a ribbon of beautifully engraved 15 karat gold wrapped around a tube of woven hair. Before photographs, having the hair of a loved one was a strong and powerful reminder of that person and was often used in memorial jewelry and art, even ground up and used to paint miniatures and memorial scenes.
This wonderful late Georgian or early Victorian ring was hand crafted around 1830-50 in England. It is set with 6 turquoises of about 6mm and one smaller 1 mm stone. The ring itself measures 8.1 mm north to south and 20 mm across at the face, it sits 4.5 mm off the finger and narrows to 2.6 mm at the back of the band.

Georgian Memento Mori Ring Skull Hair Memorial Black Enamel
$ 3,298.00 $ 3,880.00
In the Georgian Era Death was always nearby, always just around the corner. It was a time when women and babies routinely died during childbirth, a time before antibiotics, when an infection from a simple cut would kill you if you didn’t cut off the limb in time. It was a time when diseases ran rampant, when they bled you to let out the sickness, when the ideas of germs or the simple act of washing hands were virtually unknown. It’s really not a wonder then, that at a time when just living was a bit more of an everyday miracle, people embraced Death in a very different way.
A ring like this one is called a Memento Mori, it’s Latin for ‘Remember that you must die’. Set with the hair of the deceased to keep a piece of them near; at a time when you weren’t left with photos or videos of your loved one. This ring is also set with a tiny skull, just to drive home the point. Remember that you must die.
This fantastic Grand Damme of a memorial ring is set with hair and a small skull under a dome of crystal. The top of the ring is done in 18 karat gold with stunning geometric black enamel accents, the band of the ring is 9 karat gold. This mix of metals is not unusual for the time that this ring was made, as jewelers worked with whatever they had on hand, precious metals weren’t so easy to come by. This is a large-scale ring, it measures 19.3 mm north to south and 18.5 mm across at the face, and narrows to 5 mm at the back of the band. The ring is a size 9.25 US and weighs 6.1 grams.
This hand crafted ring was made around 1780, almost certainly in England. Care should be taken when wearing this 240 year old ring, it should be kept dry and treated gently.

Victorian Leaves 9k Gold Wedding Band Ring Sz 6
$ 408.00 $ 480.00

Hand crafted in 1898, towards the end of the Victorian era, this wonderful 9 karat gold band is kissed with a rosy hue. It is a size 6 beauty that is carved all around with a leafy pattern and top and bottom with a bit of geometric design to give it some Pop! The ring is 7.7 mm wide so it will fit a bit smaller than it’s size. This ring is fully hallmarked with the marks showing it was made in Chester, England in 1898 by the maker E.V. of 9 karat gold. This ring weighs 3.6 grams.

Victorian Morning Glory Silver Bangle Bracelet Gold Accents

Antique Victorian Turquoise Garnet Gold Snake Brooch Pin
$ 1,088.00 $ 1,280.00
The serpent has been connected to humanity for as far back as we look. Adam, Eve, Ra, the ancient Romans and Africans, all held a place in their art and symbolism for the snake. Some saw him as the God of Sun, some associated him with Original Sin, others saw him as signs of Good Fortune, of Protection. Snakes are, in fact, one of the most deadly animals in the world and as humans we are hard wired to have a visceral reaction to them, so it’s no surprise that they should hold such a enduring place in the souls of man.
This fantastic snake is all pattern and smooth shiny gold. Hand crafted in England in about 1870, he has good slither.
