$499 USD18k Gold 3 Stone Diamond Ring Hallmarked Birmingham 1882
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian
Three and five stone rings were so popular during the late Victorian era that it's a wonder they produced anything else in Birmingham. They often come in a combination of diamond and sapphire or ruby, and sometimes they were all diamond. This is a great example of a three stone diamond ring, something that has not declined much in popularity in the hundred plus years since. Set in 18 karat gold, three lovely and lively cushion cut diamonds sparkle away. This ring has just enough detail to make ...

The dollar is strong in Europe and I've found so many wonderful, affordable, and truly lovely pieces of Antique and Estate Jewelry that I've decided to put ...
$529 USDEarly Victorian 18k Gold Rhodalite Garnet Ring
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Georgian
I don't usually buy marquise shaped rings, but I gladly made an exception for this one. The garnets in this ring are a fabulous glowing red, They are foil-backed and reflect the light with every move of the hand. The center stone is an amazing cut and shows a very early prong mount. I'm calling this ring Victorian, but it may well be Georgian, certainly made before 1870. It beautifully illustrates the transition from the flat cut Georgian garnets to the more Bohemian style of Victorian garnets. ...

$450 USDAntique French Art Nouveau Mistletoe Silver Belt Buckle
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Art Nouveau:Buckle
Used by the Druids as a symbol of everlasting life, Mistletoe was thought to aid in fertility.

$340 USD Offers Considered18k American Indian Stickpin c.1900
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Edwardian:Stickpin
This late Victorian American Indian stickpin oddly enough comes from England. A deep interest in the West and the American experience pervaded the common culture of the Victorians, and the image of the 'Noble Brave' was chief among topics of interest and fascination. Superbly crafted this would have been owned by someone both wealthy and worldly, (having most likely been bought on a trip to the 'colonies') and would have been the subject of much conversation among those both intelligent and ...
$250 USDAntique Edwardian Silver Angry Monkey Cufflinks
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Edwardian:Cufflinks
I don't know why these monkeys are angry. Maybe someone took their bananas away. I just thought they were cute, in a a fierce sort of way. They have no marks except that you can almost make out the word silver stamped on the back of one. They test as silver, anyway. They weigh 9.4 grams. I suspect that they were made around 1910. I bought them in London, from a street stall on Portobello road on a Saturday morning. Might be a better place to find great cufflinks, but I doubt it. A Message From ...

$1,750 USDAmazing Antique Edwardian 18k Gold Love Knot Ring
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Edwardian:Ring
Okay, so here's the truth. Every single time that I walk into Gray's market in London I end up buying at least one thing that I feel is both fabulous beyond belief and maybe just a little bit pricey.

Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Mourning:Georgian:Ring

$1,250 USDRare Antique Victorian 18k Gold Double 'DEAREST' Ring
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian:Ring
These rings are getting SO hard to find, so I was absolutely delighted to come across not just a regular 'DEAREST' ring, but a double!!! The Victorians were so sentimental, especially when it came to jewelry, and often they would spell out the word 'REGARD' or "DEAREST' using gem stones. These rings were often used as engagement rings or tokens of true love. This double Dearest ring is so unusual, it's the first one I've owned! The initial letters of each gem's name spell out the word 'DEAREST': ...
$950 USD Offers ConsideredSALE Antique Victorian Cameo in 9k Gold, Leda and the Swan
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Carved, Cameo:Brooch
Could this Swan be Zeus in disguise, getting ready to seduce the Queen of Sparta? Perhaps this union will produce Helen of Troy, as Greek Mythology tells us. Most likely produced in Italy during the 1880's, this Cameo carved from shell was probably bought as a souvenir of some young British ladies Grand Tour and taken back to England before being made into a brooch. Set simply and securely in typically English 9 karat gold, so as not to detract from the carving itself. This cameo is wonderfully ...

$850 USD ReducedREDUCED Arts & Crafts Silver and Turquoise Necklace
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Arts & Crafts:Necklace
This is one of my personal favorites. I love to see this kind of hand craftsmanship and detail. Starting in the mid 19th century in England, craftsman began a backlash against the industrial revolution and the mechanization of production by returning to hand-craftsmanship. This piece is an excellent example of this return. Wonderfully hand crafted, it showcases an aged and variegated cabochon of turquoise hanging inside it's leafy frame. All hand made, including the chain and clasp, each leaf ...
