Early Victorian 18k Gold Rhodalite Garnet Ring

$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. ...

$500 USDAntique Art Nouveau Round Repoussed Lady in Profile Brooch in 18k Gold

Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Art Nouveau
This beautiful lady is the latest to join my collection. I have a weakness for them, I supposed. They are just so lovely and have such wonderful Art Nouveau style. This little lady is particularly lovely, with her be-ribboned hair and a little open wild rose at her breast. Repoussed lady in 18 karat gold.

Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Edwardian:Ring
The morning was a bright one. Fall in Paris, sunny and brisk. The air smelled like espresso and croissants with a touch of chocolate. I stopped into a cafe to pick up a little of each, it was warm inside and slightly steamy. Then off to do a little shopping.
