$1,780 USDGorgeous 18k Late Georgian Garnet Pansy Earrings c.1820
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Georgian:Earrings
A bit of explanation is due these wonderful little Georgian flowers. Some time after 1900 these 1820's garnet pansy earrings were converted to posts. The change was expertly done but they would have originally had a wire that was shaped like a shepherd's hook. Otherwise in perfect condition, they are actually more wearable with the posts. Though they bear no marks the earrings test as 18k gold. The posts and backs are both 9k. They weigh 4 grams and measure 3/4 of an inch by 3/4 of an inch. If ...

$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 ...

$2,200 USD SaleSALE Antique Scottish Victorian 18k Gold Diamond and Emerald Bangle Bracelet in Box
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian:Bracelet
Dunfermline Abby sits on a slight hill, it dominates this ancient Scottish Capital. Sitting on the same site where a Christian church has sat since 800 AD. The original foundation of the Abby goes back to 1072, talk about an antique! Robert the Bruce was buried here in 1327, the mother of William Wallace is buried in the churchyard. There's one of those glass fronted multi-national jeans stores now on High Street in Dunfermline. I wonder if it's standing where John Hood and Son Goldsmiths once ...
$3,150 USDAlluring Antique Edwardian 18k Gold and Platinum Diamond and Pearl Bow Brooch Pin

$680 USDBeautiful Antique French Arts and Crafts Amethyst an Pearl Brooch c.1900
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Arts & Crafts:French:Suffragette
This beautiful French turn of the century Arts and Crafts brooch has all the "bells and whistles". A perfect circle of hammered links with alternating pearls and amethyst set delicately in the center of each link.

$1,200 USDLovely Antique 15k Gold Victorian Garnet Cross
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian:Cross
This cross is a bit of an enigma. On one side it's a wonderful and subdued Victorian cross engraved with the ivy leaves and scrolling motifs of the period, but turn it over and another personality is revealed. Here subtlety departs and the cross flashes and glows with faceted round garnets that reach out to catch any light. One cross, two totally different looks!

$550 USDAntique Victorian 15k Pink Gold and Sapphire Rectangular Locket
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian
It's a strange thing sometimes, dealing in Antiques. Especially when I come across a locket like this one. These cute little girls were probably put into this locket sometime around 1890-1900. Most likely they are not even living anymore, and yet, here they are... right where they were lovingly placed over a hundred years ago. A wonderful Victorian locket done in 15 karat gold (tested not marked). Set in the front with a cabochon cut sapphire gem and designed to look just like a little book ...

This gorgeous 1870's collar necklace is beautifully hand made and features European collet set, foil backed garnets and rose cut diamonds. It has what appear to be European hallmarks (most likely a silver mark and a maker's mark) although I am unable to identify them.

Rich with Gothic elegance and in excellent condition, this ...
