$68 USDStunning Antique Sterling Safety Money Clip
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Edwardian:Silver:Money Clip
Circa: Early 1900’s. This was and still is a nice way for the lady to keep paper money on her body without needing a purse. I have added the ribbon to show how it works. The clip opens and hooks over the brassiere or skirt band and the ribbon with the money pined to it would be tucked inside the garment. The initials “RRW” are engraved on the top. Manufacturer/Marks: “K & S Co. Sterling”. Excellent Condition. Measures 1.25 by 1.25 inches. Please Note: Antique sterling is a soft metal so please ...
$185 USDDainty Antique Victorian Silver Hankie or Glove Holder “Hand”
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian:French Silver:Glove Holder:Handkerchief Holder:Hand
This is a very unique glove or hankie holder. It measures 2.5 inches. There are some hallmarks on the holder that I wasn’t able to identify. It was found in France so the marks are no doubt French hallmarks. I was told this also might be a napkin holder, but I would tend to believe it was to hold gloves or hankies. Circa 1880’s.

Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian:Ivory:Hand:Brooch
ATTENTION "HAND" COLLECTORS! C1880s. This is a very nicely carved ivory hand. It has such a lovely patina. I'm not sure what the hand is suppose to be carrying or what it signifies.

$245 USDElegant Elongated Antique Intricately Carved Ivory Hand Pendant
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian:Carved Ivory:Pendant:Hand
ATTENTION "HAND" COLLECTORS! Circa 1880/90’s. I had to giggle when I saw this. The formation of her fingers reminds me of someone that is telling her a funny little hard luck story and she is putting her two fingers together to make like she is playing a tiny violin (chuckle) I think originally there must have been something in her hand at one time but I'm not sure what. I thought at first a Stanhope but upon closer investigation I really don't think so. In very good condition. There are a few ...

$55 USDAntique Victorian Silver Locket Hollow Case
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian:Silver:Locket
This locket has engraving on the front. It is made like a watch case and since it is hollow on the inside maybe it did have a watch in it at one time. It is not marked but I am sure it is silver and not silver plate. There is a small dent on the front that could no doubt be worked out. Measures 7/8 by 1 3/8 (with loop) inches.

Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Mourning:Brooch:Vulcanite:Hand:Bird
ATTENTION "HAND" COLLECTORS! I haven’t been able to find the symbolism of the bird with the arrow through the heart. Possibly a broken heart. Maybe a lovers death. I believe it is made of Vulcanite (possibly gutta percha). There are three places along the edge of the brooch that don't appear to be chipped but appear to be a resin that has seeped from the material. You might be able to see this in the photo. It's a dark amber color. C-clasp closure. Circa 1870's. It measures almost 2.25 inches ...

$366 USDAntique Victorian Intaglio Gold Watch Fob Wax Seal “Malgre` Tout” Shaking Hands
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian:Seal:Watch Fob:Gold
ATTENTION "HAND" & "FOB" COLLECTORS! This is a wonderful seal that has the words “Malgre` Tout” which means “irregardless” in French. The seal depicts two hands shaking within a circle. The stone has a smoky color to that of citrine or a smoky topaz. It appears that one end of the circle has a triangle head so I suspect it is meant to be a shake (eternity?).

$825 USDCAPTIVATING Goddess & Her Chariot with Birds & Clouds Cameo Brooch/Pendant.
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Carved, Cameo:Goddess:Chariot:Birds:Clouds:Brooch:Pendant
This Goddess is probably Venus/Aphrodite. Traditionally the birds are swans, but doves (Victorian love symbol) are also used. The scene looks like "The Triumph of Aphrodite." Aphrodite on a chariot drawn by swans/doves. Her chariot is riding through the clouds. The carving is VERY well executed. She is set in an unmarked silver tone setting with a different metal twisted wire going around the silver tone frame. This appears to be a late 1800’s cameo although the original c-clasp has been changed ...

Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian:Locket:Mourning:Hair:Love Token
Dates to the early quarter of the 19th century. Locket has a hair curl under a crystal. The name Julia is engraved on the other side. Not gold but looks like gold. I believe it is either Pinchbeck or gold filled. It might also be 9k gold or less since my test kit only shows 10k plus. The quality and engraved decoration is exquisite.

$275 USDSweet Antique Victorian Silver Demi Parure Cherub Earrings & Brooch

Silver cherub love tokens. Not marked. They date to the late 1800’s. The brooch measures almost 1 inch from wing top to wing bottom and is .75 inch wide. The cherub head earrings measure just over .5 inch and with the ear wire would hang 1 inch in length. I think at one time there might have been a glass over the hole in the back of the brooch. It probably would have held a hair memento. On the back is engraved the name “Fanny” and “88”. We add new items several times a week, so check back often ...
$375 USDExquisite Vintage Cameo Two Goddesses w/Flowers

Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian:Gold:Pendant:Hand
ATTENTION "HAND" COLLECTORS! Circa late 1800’s. The setting is rose gold and the hand is yellow gold. It isn't marked with a hallmark other than a 'touch' mark. I tested it and it is gold. There is a small dent in it on the top. The touch mark is on the side. It is in the shape of a heart. I thought it was a dent at first but I am almost positive it is a touch mark. You can see these dents in the second close-up picture. There is a garnet (I believe it is a real garnet) and two freshwater pearls ...
$355 USDElegant Antique Victorian Coral & Gold Cuff Hand With Gold Coin Brooch
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian:Brooch:Coral:Gold:Hand
ATTENTION "HAND" COLLECTORS! This dates to the late mid-1800’s. The cuff tests gold and the hand is coral. It holds an 1851 one dollar United States of America gold coin. I am not sure if this is original to the piece. The hand is expertly carved. It looks like there might be some hallmarks on the gold but I can’t decipher them. The engraving on the gold is simply awesome. There has been some minor repairs to the top of the cuff but they were well done so they can’t been seen very well. If you ...

Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Carved, Cameo:Gold:Peasant Lady
Circa mid to late 1800’s. This cameo depicts a lovely peasant lady carrying a large basket. She is set in a gold setting. Not marked but tests gold. The detail in this cameo is wonderful. It measures 2 by 1.5 inches. Judging by the T-bar this was originally a c-clasp closure and later changed to a safety clasp. It appears that due to a combination of usage of the T-bar the soft gold it buckled and needed repair and this repair shows on the front of the gold frame. It is not a bad repair and it ...
