Antique Scottish Agate Bracelet Silver Victorian
$ 1,800.00
Though Scottish jewelry goes back centuries, the fascination for all things Scottish in England goes back to Victorian times. When the Royal court would pick itself up a few times a year and travel north to Barmoral Castle in the Scottish highlands. When you were at court in Barmoral you were expected to play your part and dress in plaids and wools, and to adorn yourself with jewels made in the Scottish tradition and set with gems mined from the Scottish coasts.
This wonderful bracelet was no doubt made in England, most likely in the Victorian jewelry center of Birmingham, it’s got such a Victorian look in the links that go around the wrist, taken straight from a Victorian collar of the day. The top stone is wonderfully carved smooth with ruffled edges and a convex top that delights the fingers. The bracelet is about 7.25 inches long, it’s hard to get an exact measurement due to the nature of the top of the bracelet, but this arch of set stones at the top makes it marvelous to wear, it graces the wrist in a wonderful way the top stays on top. The front of this bracelet measures 30 mm north to south and 80 mm across the top. This bracelet is unmarked but tests as sterling silver, it weighs 34.2 grams.

Antique Scottish Agate Prince of Wales Brooch Silver Victorian
$ 1,800.00
The wife of King Edward III was Pillippa of Hainault. Her family name was Ostrevent, or ostrich. Together they bore a Son, Edward IV, know as ‘the Black Prince’. The Black Prince wore a shield which was an ode to his mother’s family, three white ostrich feathers on a field of sable. This triad of feathers got attached to the Prince of Wales and would go on to be used by many sons of the Kings of England, in the 17th century it became widely known as the badge solely of the Prince of Wales and has been ever since. It often has the slogan “Ich Dien” at the base, German for ‘I serve’.
When the Victorians began making brooches for the Scottish tourist trade, they took in many motifs of the day and turned them into “Scottish” brooches, most of which were actually made in England’s jewelry center of Birmingham, often with stones mined along the coasts of Scotland. This is the first time I’ve seen or had a Scottish brooch in the form of a Prince of Wales brooch. It is beautifully hand crafted, the stones cut and polished to precision. The sterling silver brooch is set with gray banded agate in shades ranging from blue to gray to beige to white, the colors are subtle and very beautiful.
This large brooch was made around 1880, it measures 64 mm across and 51 mm from north to south. It would be stunning on a jacket, a kilt, a plaid or even a thick sweater. This brooch weighs 31.2 grams. It is unmarked and tests as 925, or sterling, silver.

Reserved~Victorian Sterling Silver Watch Chain Necklace T Bar
Sold Out - $ 527.00
This antique sterling silver watch chain was handcrafted in Birmingham, England right at the turn of the century, but it's as contemporary and wearable today as it was over 120 years ago. In pristine condition and complete with a full set of English hallmarks, it bears the anchor mark, for Birmingham, the lion rampant, which indicates it’s metal purity as sterling silver, as well as the letter year codes ‘x’, 'a' and 'b' for the years 1897, 1900 and 1901. It was not uncommon at the time for each fitting to be made by a different silversmith and assembled later by another, thus the potential for multiple hallmarks. In this case the maker’s marks reads, ‘H.P.’, 'S.S." and 'J.R.'. A perfect 17.5 inches in length, this weighty, solid linked chain comes in at 45.3 grams.
A classic in it's day, the Victorian "Double Albert" watch chain was a staple in the wardrobe of every Victorian gentleman. And, although pocket watches may have fallen out of fashion, the style and versatility of these chains have made them transition perfectly for wear today as ladies neck pieces. Indeed, there really is nothing quite so iconic as the silver watch chain, duplicated by top designers time and time again, this classic is a go-with-anything staple of any well-dressed woman's jewelry wardrobe. But, why buy a reproduction of a classic when you can have a hand made antique original as stunning as this one?

This Victorian chain was made to hold a watch. After all, pocket watches were a necessity for almost everyone in the Victorian era and beyond, but after World War II the wristwatch really started to come into it's own, it was more practical, more portable, and quickly eclipsed the pocket watch as the gentleman's time piece of choice. What then to do with all those unused and unwanted beautiful watch chains?

Wonderful Victorian Silver Agate Scottish Axe Brooch
$ 550.00
When Queen Victoria's Royal Court followed her to Scotland and Barlmoral Castle, the demand for Scottish jewelry in all forms flourished. Brooches were the norm, kilt-pins and cloak pins are often found. This gorgeous axe-shaped brooch is set with shaped and polished bloodstone, carnelian and moss agates and spectacularly engraved. It was made in England in about 1880.
I just love when the stones are this beautifully cut and set, they were clearly custom cut for this brooch. They are in very good condition without any dings, dents or chips. At some point in it's life this brooch had a broken pin stem and it was repaired using a soft solder and brass plaque. This is an old repair and could be re-worked with a laser, but it is very sturdy and well done so I didn't see the need to change it. Please note the repair in the photos.
The brooch has an English registration mark and tests as sterling silver. It weighs 11.7 grams. A beautifully made piece of Scottish pebble jewelry!

Words fail. Stunning? Yes, but not quite enough. Rare? Certainly, but lacking. Once in a Lifetime? Maybe that’s more like it!

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?

In the winter, when my garden is buried knee deep in snow, I love to look back at photos I've taken of those long July days, of flowers, bees and veggies flourishing in my sun-warmed beds. I feel lucky to live in the age of digital photos, I can flip through my phone and enjoy the bright colors and rich greens of those seemingly long ago summer days, but I know the Victorians had no such luxuries. They could look at a painting, I suppose, or if they were lucky, maybe they had a locket like this one, to warm their wintry hearts and give them hope for the flowers that Spring would yield.

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.

Victorian Silver Collar Necklace Garter Buckle Motif
$ 1,660.00
Don’t you think that there are words that we just don’t use as much as we should? Example? Knightliness; did you know that this is a word? It is, really, and the words that it’s synonymous with are equally delightful and underserved; Chivalrous? Gallant? Courtly? They all conjure up images of a proper gentleman, one who is full of courtesy and courage. There is a society for these Chivalrous types, you know. In England it’s called the Royal Order of the Garter. It was founded by King Edward III in 1348, so it’s been around for a while. Their symbol is that of a strap and buckle, a garter. I’ve seen the garter used in rings and bangles, earrings and many a brooch, but I admit that this is the first time I’ve ever come across this motif used in a full collar, it’s quite striking and magnificent in its three dimensional design.
This highly unusual collar was hand crafted in England in about 1880. It’s 16.5 inches long and has a large jump ring that could hold a locket or bauble of some kind. This one can be worn with the engraved side up to show the garters or with that side down for an intriguing shape in smooth silver, it can be worn as a necklace with the clasp that the back or as a chain with it in the front. This collar is 15.3 mm wide at the widest point and sits 3.4 mm high, it weighs 47.4 grams. The collar is unmarked but tests as sterling silver.

Victorian Silver St. George and the Dragon Ring
$ 560.00
Renaissance Revival jewelry was en vogue during the 1800's all across Europe. Austria-Hungary established itself as a maker of quality jewelry during this time, as the pieces were not only detailed and beautiful on the front, but oftentimes equally detailed and ornate on the back. Workshops in Austria-Hungary crafted the majority of these Renaissance and Gothic Revival pieces between 1860 and 1910. Oftentimes, these pieces were made in silver and then gilded in gold. This antique St. George ring is no exception as it was made around 1890, depicting a traditional Renaissance scene of St. George slaying the dragon.
This silver ring was handcrafted in Austria-Hungary. It features a pierced motif not only on the ring face, but also on the shoulders where a scrolling floral design can be found. The ring face measures 21.3 mm north to south and 21 mm across, it sits 3.3 mm off the finger and narrows to 2.5 mm at the back of the band. There are no marks and it has been acid tested.

Victorian Horseshoe Brooch Pin Silver Gold Flowers

What do you supposed people thought when they saw the first automobile? Did they think it was a coach drawn by invisible (and loud) horses. Did they think it was Witchcraft? Sorcery? The fate of humans was tied so closely to that of horses that by the Victorian era, just before the advent of the ‘horseless carriage’, horses were everywhere, on every street and every road. Inns didn’t have parking lots, they had stables.

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.

Large Sterling Silver Victorian Locket Pendant Gold Accents
$ 750.00
Sometimes they arrive looking quite stout and then they pull all of their little pouches out of their vests and inside coat pockets and you see that they are actually quite thin. Laden with jewels is how they arrive and so I always attempt to lighten the load. I was more than happy to do it the day that I found this fabulous locket, one of my very favorite things.

Victorian Gold Diamond Crop Bangle Bracelet Silver Set
$ 3,280.00
Diane Crump was the first female jockey to race in the Kentucky Derby. She ignored threats, hecklers and insults, all she wanted was to ride. She was just 21 years old when she made history in 1970 at Churchill Downs. She ignored the catcalls and boos and raced on Bridle ’N Bit to finish 10th out of 12, but she secured her place in history and opened the door for women in a sport that been previously limited to male riders.
This crop bangle bracelet was hand crafted in England in about 1880-90 with an exquisite eye to detail. The crop handle contains sparkling rose cut diamonds set in sterling silver and the rose gold crop body wraps around the wrist before terminating in a yellow gold rope at the whip end. The bangle measures 16.8 mm north to south at the widest point and narrows to 3.3 mm at the back. This wonderful bangle would fit a wrist up to 7 inches around comfortably. The bangle is unmarked but tests as 15 karat gold, it weighs 11.2 grams.
This beautiful piece was made many years before Diane Crump was even born, but I feel like she would have loved it. Perhaps it was made for someone of her spirit, a Victorian woman who just wanted to ride.

Victorian Scottish Pebble Brooch Pin Agate Bloodstone Silver
$ 690.00
I’m not entirely certain why, but when the weather starts to turn chilly, I feel my Scottish roots start to stir. Maybe it’s the color of these fantastic Scottish pieces that seems to well coordinated with Autumn, or maybe it’s the idea of wrapping myself in wool in bright plaid patterns for warmth and to add a touch of color to the landscape. Whatever it is, there is just something about Scottish brooch and these shorter fall days that seem to go hand in hand.
I just love when the stones are this beautifully cut and set, they were clearly custom cut for this brooch. They are in very good condition without any dings, dents or chips, one of the brighter red stones has a hairline crack, but it’s quite stable. This larger scale brooch measures 56.5 mm north to south and across and is 13 mm deep. The stones are set in sterling silver, which is unmarked but has been acid tested. The reverse of the brooch has a jump ring which probably originally held a safety chain, it could be used to wear this piece as a lovely pendant. It weighs 31.7 grams. A beautifully made piece of Scottish pebble jewelry!
When Queen Victoria's Royal Court followed her to Scotland and Balmoral Castle, the demand for Scottish jewelry in all forms flourished. Brooches were the norm, kilt-pins and cloak pins are often found. This gorgeous cross shaped brooch is set with shaped and polished bloodstone, carnelian and moss agates and a round, sparkling citrine at its center. It was made in England in about 1880.

Victorian Amethyst Silver Gilt Necklace Bangle Bracelet Set
$ 1,280.00
Did you know that it was the mighty Amethyst which gave us purple as the color of royalty? The thought was that Amethyst was the rarest of gems, rarer still than the almighty diamond. With a stone so beautiful and so rare, it’s easy to see why for generations it was restricted to be worn only by Royalty. It wasn’t until the 18th century that vast Amethyst deposits were discovered in Brazil.
This two piece Victorian set is hand crafted in silver which has been gilded to give it a golden look. The stylish bangle is set with three round, bright violet amethyst gems which together add up to 9 carats of gems; it’s further set with 18, 1.5 mm creamy white seed pearls and it measures 12.7 mm wide at the widest point, it would fit a wrist of about 6.75 inches or less and it weighs 10.8 grams. The necklace is 15 inches long and is set with 9 oval cut amethysts which add up to 11.5 carats in gems; it’s accented with 9, 1.5 mm pearls. The necklace closes with a barrel clasp and weighs 11.5 grams. Neither of the two pieces is hallmarked, but we’ve carefully acid tested them both and verified that they are silver.
I’m not entirely certain whether this set started life out together or not. Both pieces were hand crafted in Europe in about 1880 and they look lovely together. I purchased them as a set and I’m selling them the same way.

Fabulous Antique Victorian Paste Necklace in Silver
Sold Out - $ 1,850.00
When Jackie Kennedy came across her famous Sunburst brooch in the window of an antique jewelry shop in London, she knew she had to have it. Yet, even though she was the wife of the President, she didn’t have the $50,000 to buy it. So, she returned to America after making the shop owner promise to hold it for her. In order to buy the piece that had captured her heart, she sold off some other jewelry from her collection, mostly items given to her by her in-laws, Joe and Rose Kennedy. In an effort not to offend them she had costume copies made of all the jewels she sold. The copies were so good that it wasn’t until after her death that the family even knew which pieces were real and which weren’t.
I imagine a similar sort of tale for this most stunning Victorian paste necklace. This gorgeous piece is clearly a copy that was made from a stunning diamond original. The necklace is completely hand crafted and is bezel and prong set with 208 exquisitely sparkling paste gems. It features 26 floral links which graduate in size and has one bezel set paste in between each flower. The necklace is crafted in sterling silver and the box clasp is hidden in the back. This necklace no doubt echoes it’s diamond predecessor in every way, even down to the fold over safety catch. It is 16.5 inches long and 15.2 mm wide at the widest point, it weighs 50.2 grams. It tests as silver and is marked only with a mysterious ‘8’. Hand crafted in England in about 1870.
This super-sparkly copy could easily be mistaken for the real thing, and just to prove it to myself, I’ve worn it to some fancy events where it’s garnered many a complement and more than a few longing stares!
