Each time I come across something unique it thrills me. This pair of earrings are English, circa 1850, and are exquisitely rendered in gold and turquoise. The condition defies the age, as these are near pristine. They are designed as clusters of flower heads centered with cabachon turquoise stones. The original patina of the 18k gold is extraordinary and rich. It is also remarkably light, and almost floats on the ear and yet it makes a bold statement. It measures almost 2 3/8 inches long with th ...click for details

The smoky quartz are large, beautifully faceted and set in hand crimped gold settings. The stones are foil backed creating the rich hue of topaz. The color has hints of brown and warm golden tones.

Antique 15k citrine earrings,circa 1880 with finely hand engraved settings. The large lemon colored citrines with hints of honey, are faceted and set in decorative claw mounts. The earrings are most likely Scottish, as the bold citrines and the engraving would perfectly complement brooches and bracelets of this period. They measure 1 3/4 inches long from the top of the wire x 3/4 inches across the widest span. The citrine measures approximately 1/2 inch across x 5/8 down.

These antique French garnet earrings are circa 1890. They are Perpignon garnets from the region in France that they are made. Unlike Bohemian garnets so popular at this same period, these have a beautiful mellow color. The cut too, is distinctive as the facets are cut across the entire curving surface, not the typical raised rose cut. The garnets form a flower cluster and each petal has a slightly different hue, created by foil placed beneath the stone. Each garnet is set in cut down gold coll ...click for details

These long, Victorian, dramatic earrings are English, circa 1860. They are designed with well match banded agates with a desirable dark brown, black and white combination. The agates have been hollowed, as was customary to lighten the weight of the stone and they are delightful on the ear. When worn, the stones have a mellow translucent quality, as they were not closed in gold in the backs. The bezels are substantial and the proportions graceful. The earrings are 15k and the gold retains the or ...click for details

Beautiful Georgian Maltese Cross circa 1820. This cross is designed with four translucent blue gray chalcedony joined with fine gold work rendered in the techniques of both cannetille and repousse.

The central stone is a pale green chrysoprase that has been foiled beneath the stone to reflect the light and add a distinctive hue. The reverse has engraving , Louisa March 15 1829, and a lock of finely plaited hair b ...click for details

This antique gold locket is American, circa 1890. It is 14k, marked on the interior and on the bail. It is unusually large for lockets of this period measuring 1 5/8 long without the bale x 1 3/8 across. The large size looks equally dramatic worn close to the neck, or worn long on a chain or black cord. Unusual too, is the absence of initials and the fact that the beautiful original rich gold bloom is intact. This color of gold, was created by the addition of mercury to gold during the manufact ...click for details
