Fantastic Georgian Flat Cut Garnet Drop Earrings
$ 4,482.00 $ 4,980.00
Just like people, these wonderful garnet earrings were made to be seen by candlelight. Can't you just see it, glittering deep red to match your cabernet as you sit with friends, eating and drinking in the soft glow. Did you know that Garnets are often called Bohemian because they were mined in Bohemia, in what is now the Czech Republic. I think they should be called Bohemian because they are dark and earthy and mysterious, just what you need to play the modern day Gypsy.
These handcrafted Georgian earrings are set with fantastic rich garnets which shoot fire with every movement. Each earring is set with eleven foil-backed flat cut garnets backed in 9 karat gold. The bottoms and tops of these earrings didn’t start life out together, but it’s a lovely marriage and the parts are all authentically Georgian. These earrings measure 59 mm to top to bottom and 21.5 mm across, together they weigh 9.7 grams.
These rare jewels have such amazing light and movement, they promise not to go unnoticed!

Antique Georgian Cross Paste Gold Pendant
$ 3,780.00 $ 4,200.00
The Georgian Era saw quite a few upheavals in fashion and culture in its 100 + year history. While fashion influenced jewelry design, and different gems saw their popularity rise and fall, one constant throughout was the cross. Both a sign of ones faith and devotion, the cross was also fully a part of the fashion of the times. For most it was a part of their daily wear. Depending on social status and wealth, one might own a gem set cross, an unadorned cross of gold, silver or even one carved from agate or jet. For those special occasions though, if one were of a certain status in Georgian society, there were crosses that were almost as much a celebration of a jeweler's skill and inspiration as they were a celebration of the divine. Inspired by the beauty of the natural world, the end of this era saw intricate designs, with metal smiths using twisted gold wire in foliate designs called cannetille work. With an emphasis on intricacy and exquisite detail, this style choice made to celebrate god's creation also made the piece pop with just one glance. This stunning late Georgian cross is an excellent example of this level of craftsmanship.
Made in England around 1820, this antique 18k gold cross pendant and brooch was handcrafted by a master jeweler at the height of the Georgian era. This breathtaking piece showcases superb gold smith work with five large and lively blue paste stones set in the shape of a cross. Pastes? You say? Yes, that's right, at the time when this cross was made, paste gems were the cutting edge of technology and as such were extremely coveted, for a time they cost more than gems of the same quality and size. Fit for court, this regal cross measures an impressive 82.5 x 62.5 mm and it weighs 22.8 grams. Though unmarked, it has been professional acid tested for gold content.
This breathtaking cross shows off the skills of a master goldsmith that can only be found in Georgian Era jewelry. It’s a collector’s piece and when worn, it has bragging rights!

Antique Georgian Diamond Flemish Cross in 14k Gold and Silver
$ 2,655.00 $ 2,950.00
Her silver cross glimmered in the sunlight that poured through the stained glass windows of the cathedral. She stood up front, in the choir, exclaiming Hallelujah. Candles lit up any dark spaces the church once had, flickering shadows around the walls.
This Late Georgian Flemish Cross was handcrafted in gold and silver. All of the 29 winking white diamonds are rose cut, and foil backed, a technique used to bring out the true luster of the diamonds. The center rose cut diamond measures 5 mm in diameter. With this cross, sterling silver lies on top and it is backed in 14 karat gold. It has been professionally acid tested. It weighs 11.0 grams and measures 68.5 mm long, 43.6 mm wide and is 6.1 mm thick. This breathtaking piece was most likely made in the areas of Holland, Belgium or Austria.
Known as a Flemish Cross, this cross is not only a symbol of faith, but a sign of fashion. A diamond cross did not simply decorate the necks of the wealthy, during the 18th and 19th centuries, but gave power and style to the devout. This cross, with a rose motif, is symbolic of the Virgin Mary. Traditionally, beautiful woman in the 19th century would receive this expensive gift and wear it with a long silver chain. Today, many of these Flemish crosses are owned by the church or in private collections.
This traditional piece of jewelry boasts a modest elegance. It’s a necessity for every Christian’s jewelry box. Reaching every corner of this cross is a splendor of shiny metallics and careful detail.
