Ethereal beauties, sometimes turning into winged bird and flower forms, were characteristic of the Art Nouveau movement in jewelry. This terrific silver swivel pin from 1908 is a good example of this "New Art" . The head of a woman is beautifully portrayed in sinuous organic lines, with exquisite detailing. This kind of work is known as repouseé. Repoussé [ruh poo SAY] was very fashionable during the Art Nouveau era in jewelry. This technique of raising metal was accomplished by working from the ...
$350 USDSparkling Victorian Rose-Cut Bohemian Garnet Three-Row Bangle/Bracelet
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian
One of the most beautiful stones left over from the nineteenth century are Bohemian garnets. There's really nothing as beautiful as seeing rows of these glorious rose-cut glowing stones encrusted on silver or gold. Bohemian garnet bracelets are one of my favourite items. This one dates from the Victorian era, about circa 1880. It features three wonderful rows of the blood red stones set on garnet gold. As mentioned, at the garnets are rose-cut, which really creates a beautiful twinkle. Bracelet ...

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. It is quite rare to find this kind of bracelet with engraved gold fittings rather than silver. The bracelet is made up of 6 faceted pieces of natural Scottish agate set in double barrel 14K rose gold links (the gold is also faceted). The agate is a lovely assortment of colours, including black, white, grey, (sardonyx, onyx?) dark ...

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.

$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 ...

$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 ...

The antique piece is beautifully designed with a central large raised horseshoe and hand-engraved riding crop set behind it. The lovely corners have what appear to be Celtic designs--a lovely touch. To the rear is a compartment for storing either a photo or lock of hair. The silver insert is intact, but the original glass covering appears to have been replaced by a piece of thin clear plastic. Pin is the ...

This is a wonderful piece over 100 years old, and it is in excellent condition. It has but one flaw: it is missing its back panel. Measures 1" from the top bail by about 3/8" across--nice narrow shape. Pendant is weighty on a chain and doesn't flip over easily. The earth-mined diamond is lovely and clear, and it ...
$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.

$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.

$245 USDWonderful 18K Gold Victorian Turquoise Pearl Marquise Ring
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian
It's not hard to find nice old rings, but to find them in good condition can be challenging. This ring is at least 122 years old, and surprisingly, in excellent condition. I say surprisingly because the lovely piece is covered in real pearls, and, as you probably already know, pearls do not weather time and use well. It's not just aging that affects them, but perspiration, perfume, the acid in skin, dry air and heat, cosmetics and chlorine. It takes a bit of time and effort to preserve pearl ...
$175 USDLovely 18K Gold Blue Zircon Diamond Bypass Ring
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian
Wonderful antique bypass ring is set with a lovely sky blue natural Blue Zircon and one genuine diamond. This beautiful Victorian ring is crafted from 18K solid yellow gold .

The glistening earth-mined gemstones are set on the side and top of the pachyderm's body, and on his eyes. Two sapphires are missing on one side--(please see photo #2); I'm selling it as it was found. There are 14 natural rubies and two natural sapphires on one side; on the other, 4 sapphires and 14 rubies. The stones are small--about 1.5 mm each. The elephant itself is beautifully ...
$155 USDLovely Victorian 10K Rolled Gold Watch Chain Necklace w/Fobs
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian
This is a lovely old Victorian watch chain that has been converted into a necklace. It likely started out life as a 16" watch chain with a T-bar and spinning fob (bloodstone on one side, chocolate brown agate on the other), and two dog clips on either end, and has since been converted to a necklace. A number of fobs have been added along the chain's length; these include one square-shaped locket with a crescent moon and star rhinestone-studded lid, a beautiful openwork ribboned heart with what ...
$225 USDBeautiful Victorian 18K Gold Cornflower Blue Sapphire Diamond Ring
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian
I love sapphires when they look blue, such as these wonderful natural stones. The bright cornflower blue stones are a delight to behold, set inside this beautiful Victorian ring. The two lovely faceted old-cut deep blue stones look stunning set in 18K solid yellow gold, with ornate scrolls to the top and bottom. A natural genuine diamond is set directly in the centre of the ring in a pretty flower setting, but in my mind, the sapphires are the major players here. This is an ornate ring, typical ...

$125 USDBeautiful Victorian Carved Jet Expanding Bracelet
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian
This terrific carved jet bracelet is so beautiful on the wrist. And it's trendy as well, because my 15-year-old daughter wanted it! Straight out of the Victorian era, the expanding bracelet is strung with different shapes and sizes of genuine jet beads--there are domed beads, "X"-shaped beads, leaf and faceted beads, plus more. The lovely black beads are strung on expanding black thread. Dates to about 1880. I personally love the faceted jet bead because it adds a real sparkle to the piece. I'm ...
$50 USDStriking Antique Scottish Sword and Shield Silver Pin
Jewelry:Antique:Fine
For all collectors of Celtic jewelry, this is a beautifully detailed silver sword and shield pin from Scotland. The antique piece is a miniature of a Jotun sword and highly detailed Celtic shield. According to legend, the magical Sword of Jotun strikes an invincible blow, causing the truth to be told. The pin is crafted from solid sterling silver and weighs a good 7.7 grams.

$150 USDLovely Edwardian 9K Rose Gold Gold Double Heart Amethyst 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 ...
$275 USDWonderful Edwardian 18K Gold & Platinum Diamond Ring
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Edwardian
What a lovely ring this is, typically Edwardian n every sense of the word. The feminine antique ring features the best of what the Edwardian period had to offer: a gorgeous lacy look, fine millegrain work and the use of monochromatic "white on white" (diamond on platinum). During this period, fashion drew inspiration from the French courts of the eighteenth century; jewelry of the day took on an almost ethereal lightness, inspired by layers of delicate fabrics, lace and feathers. Platinum's ...
