1940s Baroque Pearl and Gemstone Rooster Brooch in 18 Karat Gold
$ 14,000.00
Here is a wonderful and cheeky rooster who is beautifully hand crafted. The body of the bird is created from a large, natural, Baroque Pearl. His tail is set with a spray of rubies, diamonds and sapphires; and his head is further set with rubies, sapphires and emeralds. The brooch is fully engraved with fanciful and realistic details down to the toes on its perfect little feet.
This piece is marked on the back of the leg, but I was not able to make these marks out. It was most likely made in France in the 1940s, at a time when these brooches were highly desirable and created by many of the important jewelry houses. Buccellati, Cartier, Yard and Tiffany all crafted brooches in this genre, many with a pearl as the central body of the animal. It's quite possible this brooch was created by one of these important houses. It's beautifully crafted, note how the back is left open to reveal the back of this magnificent, 60 carat natural pearl.
The body of this piece tests as 18 karat gold and the diamonds are set in platinum. The pin stem has a trombone style clasp. The brooch measures 55 x 53x 17 mm and weighs 21.56 grams.

Reserved ~ Arts & Crafts Sapphire Pearl Gold Necklace by Artificers' Guild
Sold Out - $ 1,765.00
Sapphires have been attributed to royalty since the beginning of written history. The color and rarity of the stone signified power and wealth. During the Middle Ages, sapphires were thought to be the divine stone, to shield the wearer from harm and disease. The Edwardian era marked a time of luxury and indulgence. Sapphire motifs with pearl accents, like this necklace, were fashionable.
This breathtaking antique Arts and Crafts sapphire and pearl gold necklace was made in England, around 1910. I feel confident in attributing this necklace to The Artificers’ Guild, which was founded in 1901. It was one of the few Arts & Crafts inspired businesses in England to find commercial success. This piece features meandering golden tree branches with 14 white lustrous pearls for leaves; each pearl measures 2.5 mm in diameter. It’s an undulating design with three sapphires that gradate from darkest to lightest as they flow from the top to the bottom, and total a weight of 3.1 carats. The main feature measures 64 x 52 mm. This necklace weighs 12.2 grams and is 22 inches in length, including the drop. It is hallmarked with the gold purity mark, ‘15ct’, signifying it was made in 15 karat gold.
This nature-inspired necklace curves smoothly about and would be a positively perfect gift, even for yourself.

Antique Art Nouveau Sapphire Diamond Twist Ring 18k Gold
$ 1,200.00
Sapphires have been attributed to royalty since the beginning of written history. The color and rarity of the stone signified power and wealth. The idea that they came from the East, was intriguing, as it was a place branded as a treasure chest of gems and riches, most likely because of the traders selling to the West. During the Middle Ages, sapphires were thought to be the divine stone, and shield the wearer from harm and disease. The Edwardian era marked a time of luxury and indulgence. Sapphire rings with diamond accents, like this ring, were considered en vogue.
This antique Victorian sapphire and diamond gold ring was handcrafted in Birmingham, England around 1900. A sapphire stone sits at the center of six diamonds that twist around the face, all set in 18 karat gold. The beautiful blue sapphire measures 3.5 mm in diameter and 2.8 mm in depth, and weighs approximately .25 carats. Each of the diamonds are round and Old European cut, totaling an approximately weight of .20 carats. The ring face measures 7.4 x13.5 x 3.8 mm off the finger and the band width is 1.4 mm at the back. It has been fully hallmarked and bears the crown mark for England, the gold purity mark, “18”, and the anchor for Birmingham. This ring is a size 7.75 and weighs 2.6 grams.
Give her an engagement ring that she’ll gaze at for hours and show off for years. This sapphire and diamond beauty should do the trick.
