Victorian Gold Diamond Opal Ring
$ 1,550.00
Steam rose from the surface of my coffee mug as I perched it on the edge of the windowsill. The panes were foggy with the heat of the winter morning. Snow touched the ground that night, leaving a soft sprinkling of flakes on the still green grass. I watched as the sun rose through the pristine pink of the sky, I felt the coolness of my ring on my finger, and smoothness of the gold against my skin. The opals matched the sky, blue, and pink and mesmerizing, mixing with the green of the pines and the orange of the sun. Both were quite a sight to be seen.
This antique Victorian ring was handcrafted in England around 1900. It showcases a lively display of three wonderful opals with great play of color; these are patterned with four small accent diamonds, all set in 18 karat gold. Each of the opals are round cabochon cut, with the center stone measuring 4.4 x 4.4 x 2 mm. The diamonds are old European cut stones measuring around 1.25 mm in diameter. The ring face measures 6.5 x 14.5 x 3.5 mm off the finger and the band width is 2.0 mm at the back. It weighs 4.0 grams and is a size 6.75. It bears no marks and has been acid tested.
This electrifying sparkler is guaranteed to make your love of rings turn into a love of all things Victorian. It certainly swayed me. Gift it to yourself or for a friend, just make sure you wear it for a day or two before giving it away. Trust me, you won’t regret it.

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

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.
