Here is a sweet ring, consisting of a flower made of 6 pearls (1 of which is a replacement), centered by a tiny rose cut diamond (confirmed with diamond tester). There used to be a compartment underneath, perhaps for storing a lock of hair. The ring tests as a very strong 14k. There is cobalt blue enameling on the shoulders, which I’ve had repaired – this ring was obviously well loved! And it’s still beautiful. Size 6. Early Victorian...

Here is a sweet, simple stickpin with a design based on a Japanese family crest. It is marked “k20” on the back. The flower head measures ½ x 7/8”, and the whole pin is 2-1/2” long. It weighs 2.4g. The pin is a bit bent, not surprisingly given the high gold content (please see photos), otherwise in excellent condition. Circa 1900. Please read this description and look at the photos very carefully, as we are not responsible for buyer remorse...

So elegant! Measuring 17-5/8”, the delicate chain is adorned by 3 roses, each with leaves below. They are spaced by beautifully decorated chain links, for better draping. The rest of the chain consists of a further 12 fancy links included in the chain. Each fancy link measures 7/16”, and each rose is ¾” x 5/8”. It weighs .15 oz or 4.2 g. Very feminine, with a maker’s mark beginning with “B” – the rest is illegible - and the French eagle for 18k gold. Circa 1900...

Here is a sweet little pin, measuring 7/8” across. It’s very autumnal, with leaves enameled in shades of green, yellow and orange, alternating with leaves set with 3 seed pearls each, and centering another seed pearl. The findings are original, with a neat security clasp. On the clasp is a maker’s mark consisting of an arrow with a circle at the end, probably for Robert Klitz, of New York. No hallmarks, but it tests for 14k gold. Circa 1900...

Here is a beautiful Victorian cameo, set in gold flourishes and decorated with 4 pearls. The background is a slightly darker pink than the lady herself. The attention to detail in the carving is nice, and she is in very good condition. There is one missing pearl – the one above the pearl dangle - but it’s unnoticeable...

This very Victorian stick pin depicts a crescent moon, arrow, and star motif. It is set with several turquoises and one seed pearl. Unmarked, it tests as 14k gold. The head measures 7/8” at the widest point; the whole thing measures 2-7/8”. As you can see in the photos, the pin is somewhat bent toward the top, though when worn this would not be visible. Otherwise in excellent condition, weighs a substantial 2.6g, and circa 1900...

This fantastic locket is a show stopper! The front has a lovely Egyptian lady in profile, wearing a headdress – from which a few locks of hair have escaped – and hoop earrings. She is nestled within a crescent moon (symbolic of the female principal, intuition, and new beginnings). The back has a monogram, and inside it has both photo rings, but no celluloid. That could easily be fixed with plastic. Bigger than usual, it measures 1-5/8”, and weighs .77 oz or 21.8g. It is made of gold over s...

This lovely lady is made from 14k gold – there are the remains of a mark, so I tested it. She is framed by a stylized shell motif, and has flowers and a diamond in her upswept hair, as well as another diamond nestled in her décolletage. This watch pin or brooch is of hollow construction, and weighs 4.7g. It measures 1” x 1-1/4”. The pin stem assembly is original. Her face is a little worn in the high places, and the back has darkened in a couple places. Also on the back there is a scratch...

Here is a lovely French lavalier, measuring 1-1/8” (not including the jump ring) by 11/16”. It features 3 rose cut diamonds and 3 (cultured?) pearls. Marked only “DEPOSE”, this used to be a part of a larger piece. However, the transformation was done very skillfully, and it is in overall very good condition. There is a small dent on the upper right edge, but it’s only visible if you’re really looking for it. Circa 1900. NOTE that we will only accept a check for this item. Please rea...

This Victorian or Edwardian fob locket is circa 1890 – 1910. The front has some engraving or chasing, the back is plain, and the inside is empty. It is not set up for photos, but it doesn’t look like it ever was – perhaps it was made to hold a lock of hair? It has a maker’s mark for “N.O” and a hallmark for 14k gold. There are a few dings in the gold, but mostly on the back, and the jump ring shows signs of use and wear. It measures 1-1/4” including the jump ring. Please read this...
