Exquisite antique Scottish agate bracelet dates to the late 1800's. It's a beautiful piece with stunning patterning, exquisite colour and finely detailed gold fittings.

$625 USDStunning Antique 14K Gold Diamond Ring 0.75 Carats!
Jewelry:Antique:Fine
This sensational 14K diamond ring is a dream! The eye immediately goes to the terrific sparkling diamonds, naturally, but take a few minutes, please, to appreciate the way this ring has been made, if you will. The 14K solid yellow gold mount that holds the dazzling natural stones is something out of a fairly tale--the setting and the ornate open gallery beneath are breathtaking! A short step down from the head of the ring are beautiful flower engravings on either side, just up from the open ...

This fabulous Scottish antique bracelet features five exquisite panels of individually hand-carved, polished translucent agate.

$110 USDWonderful Victorian 18K Platinum Diamond Ring
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian
This is a lovely Victorian ring with a genuine diamond set in solid platinum. I don't know if it's just me, but I see a snake image in the platinum mount. The detailing resembles a snake with a coiled centre, but it may not be that at all. The cut-out work is really nicely done, with fine millegrain work throughout, and the sparkling diamond is nicely nestled in a star-burst setting. It's a small diamond, but the sparkle is lovely. The band, meanwhile, is 18K solid yellow gold. This is a very ...
$145 USDBeautiful Victorian Ornate Engraved Silver Bird Pendant 1880
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian
This beautiful ornate Victorian silver pendant started out life as a large oval locket. It has lost its glass backing, so now it is a pendant. It is quite wonderful in design, and the detailing around the central Heron bird is nothing short of spectacular! Very typical of the time in which it was made. This ornate delicate look was popular in jewelry, especially lockets and bangles and pins, during the latter part of the nineteenth century. Silver jewelry was influenced by the natural forms of ...
$475 USDLovely Victorian 18K Gold Pearl Diamond Enamel Mourning Ring
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian
When Albert died in 1861, Queen Victoria required everyone at court to wear mourning attire on social occasions for three years. She remained a semi-recluse and wore black for the rest of her life. Jewelry was permitted to be worn, but only black coloured pieces made from jet or bog oak, for example, or mourning jewelry, which kept the memory of the deceased alive. This lovely ring dates from that period--1860 to be exact. It is made from 18K solid yellow gold, and hand-painted over top in fine ...

$150 USDLovely Edwardian 9K Rose Gold Gold Double Heart Amethyst Pin
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Edwardian
Two hearts entwined as one was a popular symbol during the Victorian/Edwardian eras. The woven hearts symbolized the joining of two lives/hearts. It is beautifully portrayed here in this lovely 9K gold amethyst bar pin. The hearts, containing beautifully hand-carved genuine amethysts, are set in the centre slightly on their sides. The wonderful faceting to the stone creates a lot of glitter! The open mounts are 9K solid rose gold, and the bezel-set stones are framed with very pretty twisted gold ...

$155 USD Offers ConsideredBeautiful Victorian Silver Gilt Hand Pearl Stickpin
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian
There's nothing quite as feminine as a woman's hand motif. It was a popular symbol during the Victorian era, and one can still find beautiful hand jewelry carved from vulcanite, ivory, mother-of-pearl, and gold and silver. This lovely hand has been fashioned into a stickpin. The maker has modeled the miniature hand from silver and added a real pearl between the thumb and forefinger. It's a small, very lustrous off-white pearl, round in shape. The slender fingers are very nicely done in solid ...
$210 USDWonderful 9K Solid Rose Gold Spinning Fob, Carnelian, Agate
Jewelry:Antique:Fine
It's hard to find nice fobs with stones, and even harder to find ones in good condition. This wonderful fob dates to 1915 Birmingham. It's 94 years old, and it certainly doesn't look its age. The gorgeous piece is fashioned from genuine carnelian stone on one side and chocolate brown agate on the other. The stones are framed in a thick mount of 9K solid rose gold, and there is a linked gold swivel to the top, with bail. Other than a few surface scratches, this fob is in lovely condition. The ...

Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian
This is a great keepsake pin for all lovers of mourning jewelry. Dating from circa 1880, the lovely oval-shaped piece consists of a 9K frame and solid backing and a hard clear plastic lid through which dark brown braided hair can be viewed. If you look carefully, there is beautiful fluted gold that runs all the way around the outside of the cover. The frame itself is smooth gold with a very soft tinge of rose gold. It's a fairly large pin, measuring 1&7/8" across by 1&1/2" across. It isn't ...
$110 USDLovely 10K Antique Synthetic Sapphire, Seed Pearl & Diamond Pendant
Jewelry:Antique:Fine
This lovely antique pendant is beautifully set with natural white seed pearls and one sparkling diamond. It's the vibrant blue sapphire set in the centre, however, that really makes the piece. The stone is a synthetic sapphire, which accounts for its brilliant colour. Synthetic stones, unlike imitation or enhanced stones, have the same chemical composition, the same physical and optical properties as natural stones. Here's the difference: synthetics are made fairly quickly in a lab compared to ...
$95 USDDelicate Vintage French Faux Tortoiseshell Applique Earrings w/ Stones
Jewelry:Antique:Fine
I can't think of a more lovely design for earrings--butterflies fluttering over sparkling spring flowers. Silver butterflies and gold flowers form a wreath inside these lovely amber-brown earrings, which have been crafted from real tortoiseshell. The images have been applied on to the shell, with glittering clear rhinestones set in each flower head. The design has a wonderful fluid look, suggesting movement. They are gorgeous and most elegant on! The earrings are fairly large at 1&7/8". They are ...
$190 USDPretty Victorian Scottish Banded Agate Expandable Bracelet
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian
If you've taken a look at the cost of antique agate padlock bracelets, you'll notice the prices are sky-high! Not that they shouldn't be.

For those of you who like antique agate but can't afford the prices, this is a very pretty alternative. It is an expandable bracelet fitted with very pretty banded agate circular stones set on open mounts. The metal looks to be either brass, gold-fill, ...
$200 USDBeautiful Victorian GF Locket with Opal, Pastes
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian
This lovely old locket is beautifully decorated with a delicate engraved scrolled design set with paste stones, and a single natural opal, star-burst set. The locket is in absolutely superb condition, and was obviously well looked after. There is no wear to the gold-fill, only very, very light surface scratching. The surface of the front lid has a lovely matte finish, while the back is shiny. I was told the clear stones on the bottom left were diamond chips, but they look more like paste stones. ...
$425 USDSuperb Edwardian/Art Deco14K Gold Pink Sapphire & Seed Pearl Ring
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Edwardian
This beautiful, elegant antique ring is set with three exquisite natural pink sapphire stones and two soft round pearls. I'm not sure whether to call them seed or half pearls, as they are a bit larger than the tiny pearls. They're beautifully lustrous and look terrific next to the square-shaped table cut sapphire stones. The colour of the sapphires is simply stunning! Deep, rich pink --the sign of a high quality sapphire. The 3-mm stones have a wonderful glow due to the stones' larger tables. ...
$90 USDLovely Ornate Victorian 9K Gold Hand-Engraved Locket Pendant
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian
The language of flowers, sometimes known as "floriography", was most popular during Victorian times, though its history can be traced back through antiquity. It was used as a means of silent communication, to express inner feelings. During Victorian times, people often used tussie mussies,for example, to display certain emotions. Ivy leaves, along with forget-me-not flowers, were one of the more common foliage used to decorate Victorian jewelry. This lovely locket is beautifully hand-chased in ...
$100 USDWonderful Victorian 9K Gold Amethyst Seed Pearl Ornate Pin
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian
Ahhh, natural amethyst and seed pearls--who could ask for a more lovely combination? I have a particular fondness for the two, and as you can see looking at this wonderful Victorian pin, the softness of the tiny pearls goes beautifully with the vibrant purple amethyst. It's a rather large amethyst at that, measuring 12 mm tall by 9 mm across. The lovely natural faceted stone is beautifully collet-set in 9K solid yellow gold with a fine millegrained edge, flanked by two ornate gold twists ...
$185 USDSuperb Victorian GF Bracelet with Paste Horseshoe
Jewelry:Antique
Once in a while a piece of unmarked antique jewelry comes along that looks so good, it must be tested to see whether it is gold or not. That's the case with this lovely Victorian tube bypass bangle. The beautiful glistening, slightly rose gold easily looks to be 9K. However, an acid-test reveals it is not solid gold but gold-filled or heavily plated gold. Gold-filled jewelry was very popular during Victorian times mainly because for the first time, the lower classes could also purchase jewelry- ...
$65 USD Offers ConsideredPretty 9K Victorian Jet Star-burst Set Seed Pearl Pin
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian
One of the many things I love about Victorian jewelry is seed pearls. The lovely iridescent pearls lend a certain elegance when set with gemstones on rings, bracelets and antique lavalieres. Their whiteness adds a wonderful contrast to other stones, but softness is the word that really comes to mind. They are the ultimate in femininity. Here they are clustered together in a 9K gold star shape on this beautiful Victorian jet pin. They were obviously chosen to create a contrast with the black jet, ...
$295 USDBeautiful Antique 14K Gold Amethyst Seed Pearl Pendant w/Chain
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Edwardian
Sometimes an outfit requires a bold piece of jewelry to finish it off, and other times, a more understated piece is required. If you're in need of a delicate, elegant piece of antique jewelry, this one may just be what you're looking for. It's a lovely 14K gold pendant, likely Edwardian. The sweet drop is made up of two wonderful natural amethysts-one round-cut, the other pear-shaped--and a handful of beautiful white seed pearls. Both collet-set amethysts are a sparkling medium-deep purple ...
