Antique French Silver Mother of Pearl Necklace Marcasite Paste Bow
$ 1,233.00 $ 1,450.00
So, when I bought this necklace via Zoom I was a little worried that it wouldn’t be the quality that I was hoping it was. I was, therefore, exceedingly happy when this beauty arrived and I was able to hold it, it was even better, way better, than I’d hoped. Soft, smooth, high quality and beautifully hand crafted, this necklace dates to about 1860 and was made in France, it is marked with the French Boar’s head which was their assay mark for silver. It is set with sparkling marcasites and green, pink and golden gems which I am guessing are pastes, they are too small to test and also closed backed, as is the rest of the pendant. The back is soft and smooth, the marcasites all appear to be present and set. The pendant measures 64.7 mm from the top of the bow to the bottom drop, and 28.5 mm across at the widest point. The drop hangs on a hand made silver chain which is 17 inches in length. The pendant weighs 17.4 grams overall.
I can’t wait to get back to buying in Europe and being able to handle my pieces as I choose, but the Zoom buying has certainly given me a new appreciation for the challenge of buying jewelry online!

Amazing Antique Victorian 18k Gold Pink Pearl Bangle Bracelet in Original Fitted Box
Sold Out - $ 2,423.00 $ 2,850.00
For me it began with the box. I spotted it closed inside a dealers case one Sunday morning at the Horticultural Hall show in London. At first, because it was closed, I thought she was just selling the box, but upon inquiry she smiled and pulled it out of the case. She handed it to me and explained that she had just purchased it and hadn't had time to get it out. When I opened the box I was immediately smitten. Inside was this stunning bangle, perfect and original.
The style and workmanship of this bangle and it's box are simply top-notch. The bangle features an array of 17 perfectly color matched rosy pink pearls set in a very Classical design with 2 side pearls set into eight pointed stars. The balance and feel of this bangle are just perfection. The box is just the icing on this cake, done in rich royal blue velvet and silk and marked with the name of the retailer 'Goldsmith's Alliance Limited. Cornhill, London. It is completely hand made in leather with gold embossing and was clearly made to fit this bangle, which has benefited by being kept in excellent condition.
It is Mid-Victorian and was made around 1870. It is most certainly English although it bears no marks. It tests as 18 karat gold and weighs 26.5 grams out of the box. It is on the smaller side and would fit a wrist up to 7 inches around, but no more. Is a fantastic bangle which shows the highest quality of workmanship. A truly important piece of jewelry worthy of the most discerning collector!

Antique 15k Victorian Diamond and Pearl Ring, Hallmarked Birmingham c. 1900
$ 748.00 $ 880.00
This lovely Victorian six stone pearl and rose-cut diamond ring was hand crafted in what was undoubtably the jewelry center of England, if not all of Europe: Birmingham. Known throughout the world as the 'City of a Thousand Trades', Birmingham's history dates back half a million years, as signs of human settlement date back to the Stone Age. But Birmingham's true growth and prosperity are owed to its metalworking industries of all kinds. Birmingham's prominence as a city bloomed under Queen Victoria, with the introduction of the railway, it became linked to Manchester and Liverpool and soon London. It was known for its small workshops and high level of skill and craftsmanship, and jewelry flowed out of Victorian Birmingham to the rest of the world. A world which, at that time, was dominated by the full power of the British empire, the largest empire in history.
This ring was made in Birmingham in the year 1900, at the height of Britain's glory. The stones are set into an 15 karat yellow gold mounting. The largest pearl is 3.3 mm across, graduating to the smallest which is 2.8 mm across. There are 4 diamonds between the pearls to give added sparkle. It has a full set of hallmarks as well as the maker's mark is 'TBR'.
The ring is currently a size 7.5, but could be resized by an experienced jeweler, it weighs 3.3 grams.

Antique Amethyst and Pearl Pendant, Victorian 15k Gold
$ 833.00 $ 980.00
Up until the 18th century, the Amethyst was considered to be amongst the cardinal gems, along side diamond, sapphire, ruby and emerald. For a time it's wear was reserved only for royalty and the rich purple color has long been associated with nobility. This fantastic pendant boasts a rich purple stone with a deep velvety feel, it makes you understand why Royalty used to claim this most regal of stone all to itself!
Hand crafted in 9 karat gold with a 15 karat bale, this lovely pendant would have taken a skilled jeweler quite a while to make, the gorgeous scalloped frame and beautifully matched and set pearls are simply inspired. The pendant is set with 42 creamy half pearls with a pinkish undertone in the nacre. The amethyst is an oval faceted cut which measures 15.5 mm x 11 mm x 9 mm deep and weighs approximately 8.13 carats.
