Such a charming and unusual antique ring, featuring a gem-set fly which swivels on a 12k gold band, probably Continental. The flys head and legs are made of gold; the thorax is a garnet, and the abdomen is a beautiful cabochon moonstone. The wings, which are set in silver, have two diamond chips on each side. Great condition. The hallmarks are unfamiliar to me: 500 must refer to the 12k content; also marked 373. Ring size 6.

Interesting Victorian beaded and punchwork covered book. The front cover features blue and cut steel beads in a floral motif; the reverse is worked with initials; even the spine is decorated. Both sides are framed with layered punchwork. Inside covers with flaps are made of marbled paper. Graph paper pages, all blank with the exception of one penciled phrase in Spanish: the child is much worse. Locking clasp, original unused pencil. Loss to beadwork and wear to paper and cloth edging, but ...click for details
