This incredible Victorian dragon or griffin necklace incorporates two typical Victorian themes, the dragon and the bird. Although we believe it to be Victorian, it shows some Art Nouveau influence in the embellishments around the bottom of the dragon. Hallmarked for 10k yellow gold, this wonderful dragon has his wings outstretched and carries with him two pearl studded birds with ruby heads. The bottom bird is articulated and dangles freely from the bottom. His wings measure 35 mm from tip to ti ...click for details

What a beautiful piece of gold quartz this is! Measuring 18.5 mm X 13 mm, the quartz piece is more than 2/3 covered in gold. Set in the original Victorian 14k rose gold mounting with interesting engraved detail at the top of the shoulders, it is a very appealing piece of jewelry. In a few places, it appears that the veins of the quartz reach the surface of the stone, a common characteristic of this material. This is a simple, understated ring which rightly features this desirable stone. The more ...click for details

This very early Victorian locket is in the form of a ruby and rose-cut diamond encrusted flower or clover. The locket is 18k yellow gold with the precious stones mounted in silver. Although difficult to determine from the photos, this locket is atypical in that the top has some cut-away pieces around the edges, which allow you to peek into the outer rim of the locket from the front. In this sense, it is not a typical photo locket. The locket measures 1 1/4” (with the bail it measures 1 1/2”) ...click for details

This is a fine example of pietra dura, the ancient technique of laying fine marble and stones together to create a picture or mosaic. Frequently these brooches were of a floral motif. In this case the theme is rare, a beautifully executed Victorian moth or butterfly. Two-toned brown and black colored stone gives this lovely moth or butterfly textured wings, while inlaid malachite adds a vivid burst of color. The black background makes this moth visually pop out of the frame. Set in a 14k gold tw ...click for details
