The finely carved features on each face of this Lava Cameo leave us in awe of the ability and the ambition of Italian cameo artists of the mid 19th century. Each of the three faces, are alive with expression, They have strength in their presence. The central face is an ornately coiffed, beautiful, young female, full of hope and innocence. The two male profiles are more ominous. I would venture that they signify that life is not only romance. They have high, well defined cheekbones and features ...click for details

Dramatic luscious gray striated agate is fantastic in combination with the three richly colored citrines in the center of this brooch. The loveknot form is symbolic of unending love.

Suspended by a bow, brilliant foiled georgian pastes form a dove of peace that is set in a rounded silver backing, then fitted to be worn as a brooch or a pendant. The garnet beak carries a flower of green pastes as a love offering. The process of antique paste making was not considered the creation of faux stones, but the culmination of an art form that entailed as much creativity and skill as that employed in diamond workmanship. The process of foiling and enclosing the pastes so that they ...click for details

The art form has roots far back to the 16th century when objects were fashioned in this manner. Jewelry of cut steel, valuab ...click for details

Georgian garnets, the color of kings and painted by Titian, glow from these earrings of gold from England c.1820. The earrings are typical of the period. The garnets are flat topped and foiled. The earrings are graceful and light with lovely movement. The color is warm enough to emulate a candle's flame. These very ear jewels did, in fact, shine in candle glow. Amazing indeed is the fact that they did not loose their luster, their foiling, their perfect condition. This is a credit to ...click for details
