Large Georgian Paste Horseshoe Buckle French Silver
$ 650.00
I’ve always had a soft spot for the Georgians and their way of styling life. It was an era with many phases including the usage of paste. Paste, or glass, was introduced as an alternative to expensive gemstones around 1780, which gave way to brightly colored jewelry sets and a new sense of personal style. Good luck charms were no exception to the Georgians, and horseshoes were worn to provide luck and to protect against evil. Personally, I always keep a lucky horseshoe over my door!
This antique silver paste horseshoe buckle was handcrafted in France around 1820. It’s a bright and sparkling piece that weighs 35.1 grams and measures 59 x 55 mm. It bears the French boar’s head hallmark and has a maker’s mark. This buckle has been acid tested.
Wearers of jewelry also donned pieces that symbolized their hobbies. The wearer of this bauble could easily have been an equestrian rider or an avid hunter. What would I wear if I was to wear my hobby as an accessory? Well, this buckle of course! It expresses my flair for the glittery things in life, my love of horses, and my obsession with all things Georgian.

Antique Arts & Crafts Enamel Sterling Silver Buckle by Lawrence Emanuel
$ 650.00
It’s the color of autumn, the season of jack-o-lanterns and leaves the color of daffodils, fire, and port wine. The smell of grandma’s apple pie fills the air and mixes with the scents of nutmeg and cinnamon. The world feels happier, the coffee tastes sweeter. T-shirts are covered with sweatshirts and iced tea becomes hot cider. It’s the color of tradition, of shorter days and longer nights, of fireside stories and fleece flannel blankets.

Antique Edwardian Gold Asprey Pencil Pendant in 9k Gold
Sold Out - $ 190.00
His hand began to cramp after writing so intently for so long. His palm slid further and further down the page, slightly smudging the graphite as he wrote. He didn’t stop writing, even when the café lamps dimmed, signifying closing time. The barista didn’t seem to mind his presence as she swept around him, gently setting stools onto tables so she could mop away the dust of the day. She refilled his coffee cup with the leftover dark roast but he was so intent on his notebook he didn’t notice. When the town clock sounded at midnight he finally looked up. The barista was finishing her work, paying him no mind. He looked at his table-scattered pages and dispersed detritus. He gathered his belongings and left a generous tip before slipping out the door into the night air, contemplating his leftover thoughts he had still to write.
