First and foremost, this elegant ring shows the classic art deco use of contrasting color, in this case the white of its diamonds and its gold setting in contrast to dark black onyx. The central part of the ring is a pillow shape of bevelled onyx that appears to be gift wrapped by four ribbons of small full cut diamonds approximately 1 pt each, twelve on each side. Instead of a bow, the ribbons meet a central european cut diamond of approximately .65 cts. The only bit of yellow gold in this r ...click for details

Our research has revealed that seed pearl earrings were associated with bridal jewelry or with young women, and were worn in the early Victorian period. For the most part, earrings of seed pearls were in the form of knots, vines and berries. This pair is unlike any other we have seen. Joyous and romantic, knots, leaves, flowers, berries and bells were woven and sewn to a backing of mother of pearl with horse hair. Were they made for one special young lady?

Dating from 1800, this 18kt gold, diamond and delicately enameled ring, was given in friendship.

The backs of their settings are closed, yet the stones have light. The word amitie, meaning friendship is enameled mid center. The ring shoulders are engraved.

Elements of the arts and crafts and art nouveau periods are to be found in this delicate and lacey gold, amethyst and natural pearl necklace. The geometry of the stones and the spokes holding the small pearls is reminiscent of arts and crafts design. The curving links between the warm purple amethysts are an art nouveau influence. Both these periods coincided between 1895 and 1915. It is
often the case that that two design influences appear in a piece of antique jewelry. Even when time fram ...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
