Beautiful Victorian Gold Amethyst Ring

$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.
Antique Victorian Engraved Silver and Celluloid Cameo Brooch

$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 ...
Large Victorian Scottish Silver & Malachite Ring

$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 ...
Victorian Banded Agate and Silver Pendant Necklace

$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 not marked, but tests as a lower grade than Sterling. The Pendant measures just under 1 1/2 inches across and 1 3/4 inches down. The Chain measures just under 20 1/2 inches long. 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 ...
Victorian Silver Carved Mother of Pearl Cameo Brooch

$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 ...
English Victorian 9Kt Gold and Onyx Heart Shape Sweetheart Brooch

$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 ...

$165 USD Offers ConsideredBeautiful Antique Victorian Gold 'Mother' Brooch

Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian:Gold:Sentimental:Mother:Brooch:Signed
A wonderful Victorian Gold sentimental Brooch inscribed 'Mother'. Dating to the 1890's, the tiered Brooch has a combination of very high polished Gold in the bottom layer and the word Mother, which is set against a matt gold finish on the scalloped edged top tier. 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 ...
Antique Victorian 3 Carved Shell Cameo Silver & Seed Pearl Brooch

$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 ...
Antique Victorian Sterling Silver Hinged Bangle

$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. The Bangle measures 7/16 inch wide (just under 1/2 ...
SALE PENDING Large Victorian High Karat Gold and Blue Topaz Brooch

$325 USD Sale PendingSALE PENDING Large Victorian High Karat Gold and Blue Topaz Brooch

Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian:Gold:Blue Topaz:Brooch
A beautiful Victorian Gold Brooch set with a very large faceted Blue Topaz gemstone. Dating to the late 1800's, the Brooch is not marked, but tests as at least 14kt, and judging by the color, I would say that it is 18kt. Measuring 2 3/4 inches across, with the Topaz measuring 9/16 inch by 1/2 inch and, in a Coronet setting, measures 7/16 inch deep. 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 ...

The graduated beads measure from 11mm at the clasp to 17mm for the large bead in the center of the necklace. Strung on a light brown thread which is knotted between each bead, the Necklace has been freshly re-strung. The original stringing had broken in the center, but ...
