A very sweet Gold Edwardian Moon and Stars love token brooch C. 1910. 'I love you more than the moon and stars', was the meaning behind these small brooches. The brooch is gold ( probably 15 to 18 kt ) highlighted with lovely small seed pearls in the shape of a crescent moon and a star. Pin closure with safety catch. Very attractive.
Condition: Very good.
Size: Width- 1 inch.

Although not a large piece, the craftsmanship in this antique grouse bar pin is exceptional, and the gold,
platinum, and enamel work reflect the care in which it was made. The bar pin is 15Kt gold, and the grouse is platinum with a rose gold center, a yellow gold top, and a copper enameled head with a yellow enamel beak & eye. There is a safety pin and chain attached.
A subtle piece but exquisitely crafted.
Condition: Excellent.
Size: Pin- length 2 1/4 inches. Grouse- slightly more than 3/8 inch high. Width- 1/2 inch.

Exquisite antique Mizpah brooch done in three colors of gold. I have had these brooches in silver, but never in gold and with such an intricate design. The word Mizpah is an emotional bond between people who are separated. Mizpah jewelery is worn to signify this bond, and was common in Victorian times as a type of blessing, or good luck.
The piece is hallmarked – Birmingham 1888, and has its original C clasp and pin. Really an exceptional brooch with the three colors of gold.
Condition: Fine.
Size: 1 ¼ X ¾ inch.

This is an exquisite antique hardstone cameo of carved agate set in a beautiful white gold, seed pearls, and diamonds frame. Design shows the profile of a classical lady, with long ringlets and leaves carved in her hair. Carving detail is excellent. The pin and safety catch are original, and the bale folds down so it can be hidden if the cameo is to be worn as a brooch, or as a pendant. Really an exceptional cameo.
Condition:Fine.
Size: 1 ½ x 1 ¼ inches.

Lovely unusual antique two sided bird pendant, with the surround testing 14 kt gold. One side features an elaborately colored bird perched on a leafy branch. The bird and branch are designed in feathers against a burgundy background. The reverse side shows a delicate flamingo standing in a tuft of grass, again the design is completely done in feathers against a white background. This very attractive and interesting piece has a bale at the top to allow it to be worn on a chain.
Condition: A bit of minor water damage to the painted backgrounds. Feathered birds are not affected at all, and the colors are bright.
Size: Diameter: 1 ½ inches

This is a very sweet, wearable brooch.
It is 15 kt gold with ruby eyes, pearl and sapphire wings, and a doublet jewel to look like a large sapphire in the center of the body.
The quality is lovely and it could be worn on delicate or heavier material. Workmanship is exceptional. The piece comes in an old leather covered box, but I am not sure if it is original to the brooch.
Condition: Fine
Size: Width of pin 1 ¼ inches. Width of fly- ¾ inch. Height – 5/8 inch.
