Antique Arts & Crafts Era Buckle or Sash Pin, 15k Gold with Amethyst and Blister Pearl
$ 757.00 $ 890.00
Late Victorian and early Edwardian women’s fashions were all about the waist. Nipped and tucked had way different connotations back then, it wasn’t about doctors and surgery, it was about corsets, corsets, and even tighter corsets. To accent this most desired section of anatomy a woman would wear a sash about the waist and an elaborate and most beautiful buckle at the front, and sometimes at the back as well. I don’t usually buy these as they aren’t used quite as much in fashion these days, but those of you who frequent my site know that I can’t resist a really amazing example of anything. This fantastic buckle, or sash pin, is an exquisite example, indeed.
Housed in its own original fitted box, this buckle is fully handcrafted in 15 karat gold and is marked as such. It is bezel set with 7 sparkling round faceted amethyst gems that measure approximately 10 mm x 7.5 mm and weigh about 3.6 carats each, for a total of about 36 carats of amethyst. Alternating with each amethyst is a smooth and creamy round blister pearl, also about 10 mm in diameter each. The buckle measures 71.5 mm north to south and 48 mm across and weighs 24.8 grams. The box is red leather covered and is in wonderful condition. This buckle has very definite Arts & Crafts styling and was likely made in about 1900, definitely English in origin.

Antique Amethyst Set 18k Gold Ring
$ 629.00 $ 740.00
Back porch sitting is underrated and should be done much more often, preferably during nightfall when the sky looks like this ring. It’s when the sun is glowing gold and sinking into the darkening earth lined with the shadows of faraway trees. The sky is purple with light so thick and bold you could cut it with a knife. It’s when twilight takes over the world and oddly enough, this ring could still find enough light to shimmer.
This antique ring was handcrafted around 1890 of 18 karat gold. At the center is a rich, violet step-cut amethyst set in a long octagonal setting supported by a basket weave motif on the shoulders. The stone measures 9 x 7 x 5 mm and weighs approximately 2.09 carats. The ring face measures 13.6 x 11.5 x 5 mm off the finger and the band width is 2.2 mm at the back. This ring is a size 4.25 and it weighs 3.8 grams. It bears no marks and has been acid tested. Most likely made in America.
Let your finger glow with violet as you wear this darling stunner. I swear you’ll never want to take it off.
