Antique Victorian 'Mizpah' Band Ring in 9k Gold
$ 490.00
The term 'Mizpah' is found in Genesis 31:49, it means 'watchtower' and is used as a blessing, meaning "May the Lord keep watch between you and me when we are away from each other". You just know that those sentimental Victorians had to use this romantic and wonderful phrase in their art and jewelry! This ring would likely have been considered a 'sweetheart ring' and would have been given by a gentleman to his lady love interest to show his intention to court her. It would make a wonderful wedding band.
This charming ten sided Mizpah ring is hand crafted in 9 karat gold kissed with a rosy hue. It has lovely hand engraving on each panel and is fully hallmarked as having been made in Birmingham, England in 1900 and is marked ‘9’ and ‘375’ for gold content, it also has the makers mark ‘C.M&S’. It would not be possible to re-size this ring, it is currently a size 5.5 and weighs 3.2 grams. The band is 7.6 mm wide.
I just fell in love with this sentimental sweetheart of a ring!

Amazing Antique Victorian 18k Gold Pink Pearl Bangle Bracelet in Original Fitted Box
Sold Out - $ 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!

Amazing Victorian Memorial Ring Sardonyx Hair 15k Gold
$ 1,800.00
Watching Victoria, Poldark or Downton Abbey might make you think that living in the Victorian era would be glamorous. It may make you want to wander the streets of London in corsets and layered dresses amidst horse drawn carriages, to attend soirees and full out balls. However, quite apart from the crime and deprivation of the time, the diseases of this period would often wipe out whole families and even villages. I have little doubt that it was something like Typhoid or Cholera which took out the two ladies listed on this sweet and touching memorial ring.
Hand crafted in about 1868, this fantastic memorial ring is set with an oval of smooth cut Sardonyx and is wrapped in finely woven hair around the band. This wide band is fully engraved on the outside and on the inside is engraved with the inscription “Hannah Crichton died 9th Novr 1868” and “Agnes Nichol Crichton died 16th Novr 1868”. This ring is a size 8.25 US and cannot be resized. This wonderful, wide band ring measures 14.2 mm north to south at the face and 12.9 mm across, it is 9.8 mm at the back of the band. This ring is not hallmarked but does bear a makers mark of ‘HC & Co’, it has been carefully acid tested to verify the gold content of 15 karat gold. This ring weighs 6.7 grams.

Angry Bobby English Policeman Charm Silver Pendant
$ 220.00
Before 1829 there was no police force in London, or really anywhere for that matter. When the then British home minister, Sir Robert Peel, organized the London Metropolitan Police (headquartered on a street named… you guessed it, Scotland Yard) he dressed them in black coats and tall black wool hats with shiny badges. These hats became iconic and the London police force was so closely associated with Robert Peel that those who wore these hats got the nickname of ‘Bobbies’.
I found this particular little Bobby to be utterly irresistible. He looks a bit grumpy, really, under his iconic hat, but this just makes him all the more appealing. The wonderful Victorian charm is done in silver, it’s a small thing, just 21.2 mm from top to bottom including the bale and 16.1 mm across at the widest point. This pendant is unmarked but has been carefully acid tested. It weighs 1.6 grams. Made in England around 1880.
I offer a 3-5 payment layaway on most items purchased for full retail price, please inquire if you are interested in setting up a layaway. Items ship when payment is complete and items purchased or payments made on layaway are eligible for store credit only.

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.
