Victorian Horseshoe Brooch Pin Silver Gold Flowers
$ 300.00
What do you supposed people thought when they saw the first automobile? Did they think it was a coach drawn by invisible (and loud) horses. Did they think it was Witchcraft? Sorcery? The fate of humans was tied so closely to that of horses that by the Victorian era, just before the advent of the ‘horseless carriage’, horses were everywhere, on every street and every road. Inns didn’t have parking lots, they had stables.
Is it any wonder, then, that lives tied so closely to horses would celebrate them in their art and their jewelry? This fantastically large horseshoe brooch was hand crafted in Birmingham, England by the firm of Constantine & Floyd in the year 1888. It is a wonderfully ornate large horseshoe which is done fully in sterling silver and has floral designs at the top done with yellow and gold wash accents which travel down the sides. This brooch measures 49 mm top to bottom and 45.5 mm across and weighs 10.3 grams. The reverse of this piece has some dents to it, but the front was so lovely that I forgave it it’s faults. It is marked with the hallmarks and makers marks mentioned above as well as the lion rampant for sterling silver.

Antique Silver Butterfly Brooch Pin Blue Wings
$ 460.00
Is there anything better than a summer day on vacation? Some of my most treasured days have been spent laying in hammock with a good book at the lake shore, listing to the sounds of children playing and being buzzed by dragonflies who linger on my toes, wondering at their shiny red nails. This dragonfly reminds me of those summer days. It is hand crafted in sterling silver and set with the brightest blue wings ever.
This type of brooch was often set under the smooth, polished crystal with real morpho butterfly wing, but this one is not. To be honest I’m not completely certain what these wings are made of, I think they may be hand crafted metal of some sort, they are beautiful and very intricate. The brooch measures 34 mm from top to bottom and 57 mm across, it weighs 6.6 grams. This unmarked brooch has been carefully acid tested as sterling silver. It was almost certainly made in England around 1920.

Antique Arts & Crafts Silver Moonstone Brooch Pin
$ 760.00
Two things that I have a weak spot for have found their way into this one fabulous brooch! English Arts & Crafts is one of my favorite time periods in all of Art and Design, it appeals to the fantasy in my soul, and moonstones, especially ones with the kind of blue adularescence that these exhibit, are a panacea to my mind.
This wonderful Arts & Crafts piece was made in England around 1910. It is set with a total of 8.9 carats of glowing, cabochon cut blue moonstones (I know, they don’t look awesome with empty space behind them, but look through the photos to see what magic happens with a jacket or hand behind them). This brooch has had its pin stem replaced at some point in it’s life and someone put on a safety catch, no doubt they didn’t want to loose it! It is marked to the reverse with ‘silver’ and it measures 42 mm from top to bottom and 41.7 mm across, weighs 12.7 grams.
