Here is a splendid moth or butterfly made from rose gold and gems. There are 24 rose cut diamonds set in silver topped gold. Also 8 rubies, 4 sapphires, and 4 pearls. It is unmarked, but tests 10kt. It weighs a solid 14.2g, and measures 1-3/4” x 1-1/4”. There is a decorative loop just above the eyes which would allow a chain for converting it to a necklace. It shows signs of having been repaired where the center of the pin stem assembly attaches to the brooch, but is in excellent condition, and ...click for details

Here is a sweet little Victorian pin with the cross, anchor, and heart, symbols of faith, hope and charity. I believe it is made from a layer of gold on top of a layer of copper. The center of the heart is set with a (faux?) seed pearl, and the cross is set with 11 tiny turquoise-colored cabs – they are so tiny that I can’t tell if they are real or not. It measures 1-3/16 x 7/8". The gold is worn down here and there, and it has a nice age patina, but overall in quite good condition, and ver ...click for details

A very pretty ring, in excellent condition. The subtly-colored (cultured?) pearls are in tones of gray, and a kind of grayed out brown, as best as I can judge. The accent diamonds include 5 rose cuts, which are very nicely cut as older r.c. diamonds go; and one full cut with rather odd facets – perhaps it is a replacement stone. This is a very sweet, very wearable ring, in a size 6-3/4. I don’t know how to date this one, so I’ll just call it vintage.

This extremely lovely and romantic lady is made from a very mellow yellow gold, with blue, pink, and green plique a jour enamel, and an accent diamond in her hair. The tendrils of her hair whiplash into ginko leaves. She has a little drop pearl, and is marked 14k. She is in excellent condition, and is just SO pretty! I’m not sure when she was made, but she’s definitely a reproduction.

This charming brooch is not in perfect shape, but it still has much to recommend it – it’s very pretty and wearable. Plique a jour jewels are very hard to come by these days – as you may know, they are somewhat fragile, rare, and I believe that a large percentage of them are now in collections. This piece, which seems to be a maple leaf, seems to be missing one leaf. The space was filled with a drop made of green agate. Along the main vein of each leaf and the stem are paste accent stones, and i ...click for details

Here is a sweet little stick pin with an orange, orange blossom and leaf motif. The champlevé enamel is in excellent condition, except a few black dots which appear to be on the surface – it’s hard to tell, and you can’t see them without magnification. The actual pin part has some minor bends in it – please see photos. The back is marked “STERLING” and “CHAMPLEVE”, and there are some marks that I haven’t been able to identify yet. Circa ???

This ring, which may be Russian, has a large central rose cut diamond. If it were a round brilliant cut, I’d say it is between ¾ and 1 carat, but there is no formula for estimating rose cuts. It is in excellent condition, it’s quite clean and the color is very good, so I believe it is a replacement stone. It is surrounded by 10 demantoid garnets, which are old. I can see horsetail inclusions in 8 of them, and they vary in color, as is usual in antique Russian jewels. The shank has a 14k mark, an ...click for details
