Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Edwardian:Sterling Silver:Bar Brooch:Book Piece
A gorgeous Edwardian Sterling Silver Bar Brooch set with beautiful sparkling square cut Ruby color Paste and round faceted clear stones. Almost identical in design to a Brooch pictured on p.270 of the excellent book 'Understanding Jewellery published by The Antique Collectors Club, except that brooch was set with Diamonds and Sapphires. Dating to the early 1900's, the Brooch measures 2 1/2 inches across and 1/8 inch at it's widest point. It is marked '925' for Sterling Silver, although only the ...
$185 USDBeautiful Victorian Gold Amethyst Ring
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian:Gold:Amethyst:Ring
Just stunning and far better than my pictures show! This gorgeous Victorian Gold Ring is set with a large faceted Amethyst color glass stone surrounded by smaller clear stones. Marked on the inside band as 9ct (a legal standard of Gold in the UK), the Ring is a generous US size 6 1/4 (UK size M). The stone set Crown of the Ring measures 1/2 inch by 5/8 inch. The Ring is in superb condition with no damage or missing stones.
$189 USDAntique French Silver and Ruby Paste Spanish Galleon Brooch
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Sterling Silver:French:Paste:Galleon:Ship:Brooch
A stunning antique Silver Brooch shaped as a Spanish Galleon and set with the most remarkable Ruby and Clear Paste stones. The antique Paste stones are so beautiful, made to come to life in the poor light of candles so that they looked like real Diamonds and Rubies, the dimmer the light, the more these sparkle! Although of course, very difficult to catch this sparkle in a photo, but you will not be disappointed. The Brooch measures 1 1/8 inches across and just under 1 3/8 inches down, and ...
$95 USDFabulous Art Deco Sterling Silver and Rhinestone Necklace
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Collectible:Art Deco:Rhinestone:Sterling Silver:Jewelry:Necklace
Just so unusual, a beautiful Art Deco Rhinestone Necklace, but completely set in Sterling Silver. With beautiful sparkling claw set Rhinestones, the Necklace measures 15 1/2 inches and fastens with a concealed hook clasp (the type found on Pearl Necklaces), which is marked 'Prov.Pat Ster Silver'. The Clasp is actually part of the Necklace, it is not attached by links. The longest drop on the Necklace measures 1 1/4 inches. In fabulous condition, there are no missing, replaced or dull stones - ...
$127 USDAntique Victorian Engraved Silver and Celluloid Cameo Brooch
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian:Silver:Engraved:Celluloid:Cameo:Brooch
A gorgeous Engraved Victorian Brooch set with what I believe is a Celluloid Cameo. The Brooch is marked 'Silver' on the reverse, and measures 1 1/4 inches across and 1 1/2 inches down, and fastens with a 'C' clasp. The surface of the cameo seems to have had a kind of varnish on the surface, which has worn away in places, and where it remains, it has yellowed with age. However, this is not apparent to the naked eye, so does not detract from the appearance of the brooch. The Brooch is in excellent ...

Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Arts & Crafts:Edwardian:Sterling Silver:Amethyst:Bracelet:C1900
A lovely Edwardian Arts and Crafts Sterling Silver Bracelet set with faceted Amethyst stones. Marked on the hook clasp '925' for Sterling Silver, the Bracelet measures 6 7/8 inches long, and at the widest points, just under 3/8 inch wide. The delicately colored Amethysts are in collet settings. The Bracelet is in excellent condition with no damage to the stones, and although the Bracelet length is quite small, it could easily be lengthened by a competent jeweler, or an extension chain could be ...
$185 USDLarge Victorian Scottish Silver & Malachite Ring
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian:Silver:Malachite:Ring
If you like your Rings large and showy - this is one for you. A Victorian Silver Ring set with a very large polished Malachite stone. The Ring is also a large size - US Size 9 (UK Size R 1/2), so this was possibly a Man's ring originally, but it is ideal for a lady with a larger hand. The Crown of the Ring measures 3/4 inch by 1 inch, and sits just under 1/2 inch above the finger. The Ring is marked 'Silver' twice on the inside band. In superb condition with no damage at all, this really does ...
$145 USDAntique 14K Gold Brooch With Safety Chain
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Edwardian:Gold:14kt:Brooch
A lovely antique 14kt Gold Brooch which is fitted with a safety chain. The Brooch is marked on the safety clasp '14K' (although this mark is quite rubbed) and is also marked on the back with the Maker's Mark, although again this is quite worn and the only part that I can decipher is '& Co'. The Brooch measures 1 inch in diameter and fastens with an older style safety clasp. The Brooch weighs 3 grams - although it is possibly slightly over, I do not have professional Jeweler's scales so cannot be ...
$155 USDVictorian Banded Agate and Silver Pendant Necklace
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian:Banded Agate:Silver:Pendant
A lovely large Victorian Silver Pendant set with a polished Banded Agate stone. The Pendant is set on a Sterling Silver Chain, which is a vintage replacement.

The Pendant is in excellent condition with no damage. Although some of my pictures appear to show cracks in the stone, these are natural internal ...

Watters' and gives an address in Edinburgh, Scotland. Not marked, but tested as 18kt Gold, the Lavaliere Pendant measures 1 7/8 inches long (not including the bale) and 1 1/8 inches wide.

A gorgeous deeply carved high relief carnelian Shell Cameo set in a Gold Mount featuring Diana, the Goddess of Hunting, with the Crescent Moon carved into her hair. Dating to the mid to late1800's, Diana's features are carved to display what typified the ideal of feminine beauty in Victorian times, and her hair has been carved to take full advantage of the colors of the shell, giving her the appearance of a strong red haired lady. Not one to be messed with! The skilled carving has also given a ...
$135 USDBeautiful Antique Edwardian Gold Brooch with Emerald Paste
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Edwardian:Collectible:Gold:Victorian:Emerald:Rhinestone
A lovely delicate late Victorian or Edwardian Gold Brooch set with a large prong set Emerald Rhinestone.

$140 USDVictorian Silver Carved Mother of Pearl Cameo Brooch
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian:Collectible:Cameo:Carved:Mother Of Pearl:Silver:Brooch:Flora
I must confess that when I first saw this Brooch, I thought that the Lady, with her large nose and small chin, had the most unfortunate looks, to say the least! But the opalescent nature of the Mother of Pearl has bestowed those same features with an ethereal quality, and as the brooch moves the Lady's features seem to literally come to life, and instead of being just a Cameo carving, you almost feel as if you know her. I believe that the Lady, with flowers carved into her hair, represents Flora ...
$135 USDEnglish Victorian 9Kt Gold and Onyx Heart Shape Sweetheart Brooch
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian:Onyx:Gold:Sweetheart:Heart:Sentimental:Brooch:Signed
A lovely Victorian Sweetheart Brooch in a Heart shape, set with polished Onyx in 9kt Gold. 9kt has been a legal Gold Standard in the United Kingdom since 1854, so the Brooch would date from sometime after that. Measuring 7/8 inch wide and 1 1/8 inch down, the Brooch fastens with an extended tube hinged pin and 'C' clasp, and is marked on the reverse '9CT' (Ct stands for Carat - the UK spelling for Karat). The Gold frame around the Onyx is textured on the front, and has a matt finish on the ...

The gold on the reverse of the brooch also has a matt finish. Measuring 1 5/8 inches by 1/2 inch, the Brooch fastens with a tube hinged pin and 'C' clasp. Not marked, but tested as minimum 14kt Gold, the Brooch is signed on the reverse ...
$225 USDAntique Victorian 3 Carved Shell Cameo Silver & Seed Pearl Brooch
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian:Cameo:Sterling Silver:Seed Pearl:Diana:Brooch
A gorgeous Victorian Sterling Silver Brooch set with 3 carved Shell Cameos and Seed Pearls. One of the smaller Cameos appears to be Diana with a crescent Moon in her hair, but I am unable to identify the others - although I think that perhaps the Cameo in the center depicts a man. The larger Cameo in the center is more prominent and deeply carved than the 2 smaller cameos, although they are crisper in appearance than my pictures show - the camera focuses on the central cameo so the 2 to each ...
$45 USDArt Deco Sterling Silver Onyx and Marcasite Dress Clip
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Art Deco:Onyx:Sterling Silver:Marcasite:Dress Clip:Signed
A lovely miniature Sterling Silver Dress Clip set with what looks like a piece of polished Onyx.

In superb condition with no damage or missing stones, a highly unusual example of a deco Dress Clip.

$105 USDAntique Victorian Sterling Silver Hinged Bangle
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian:Sterling Silver:Hinged:Bangle
A gorgeous Victorian Sterling Silver Hinged Bangle decorated all the way around with pyramid shapes. The Bangle is not marked but tests as Sterling Silver. Oval in shape, the internal diameter of the Bangle measures 2 1/4 inches from side to side and just under 1 7/8 inches front to back. My wrist measures approximately 6 1/2 inches and this fits snugly, although I think it would be slightly more comfortable if my wrist was a fraction smaller.

A large Wedgwood Jasper Cameo set in a Sterling Silver frame, c 1790 and designed to commemorate the coronation of the Habsburg ruler Leopold II as Holy Roman Emperor. Leopold was crowned in 1790 and died in 1792. The Cameo features a bust of Leopold and the 2 headed Eagle crest of the Habsburg dynasty. Full of intricate detail relevant to Leopold, known as 'Leopold The Lawgiver', although I do not know what the relevance of the man's face in the shield is. This Jasper Cameo is pictured on the ...

A beautiful Victorian Gold Brooch set with a very large faceted Blue Topaz gemstone.

Fastening with a 'V' shaped C clasp, which also has a hinged locking mechanism, which once in place, prevents the pin from being moved out of the ...

A stunning Antique Victorian Necklace, circa mid to late 1800's, strung with polished Banded Agate Beads.
