Antique puffy gold pig charm, circa 1910

Here we have an adorable, hard to find puffed gold pig charm. She is hollow and of cast form, with sweet eyes and ears, curly tail, and quite stocky little legs. One side of her face is more defined than the other. She has a suspension loop with a very small jump ring attached, so we have added a 6mm gold split ring, though of course you can remove or replace this as desired. She measures around 1.9cm across, and including the newly added split ring is around 1.6cm in height. She is marked 9CT for 9 carat gold. This extremely sweet piggy is ready to be your new lucky charm!

Vintage pearl half hoop ring

Vintage seven stone pearl 9ct gold half hoop ring A clean line of seven uniform ivory pearls forms the ultra delicate aesthetic of this marvellous ring. The half round pearls are all held in pretty claws, and set open back in an intricate crown-like gallery. The setting between each pearl looks like a little tulip flower from the side. The top of the ring measures approximately 20mm across with a width of 4.4mm and a wise of 4mm; each pearl is around 3.1mm. The shoulders taper to a dainty band of 1.4mm. The ring looks gorgeous all by itself but truly enhances any other band it is stacked against - think turquoise, ruby, emerald - anything vivid will stand out against these creamy white pearls. What is really clever is that it looks like you are wearing a full eternity band, but without any of the discomfort or impracticality that would bring. We don't recommend you getting this ring wet. It will come in a leatherette ring box.

Size: N 1/2 (UK) / 6.75 (US) Hallmarked: yes Maker's mark: ...J (indistinct) Assay office: London Date letter: indistinct, possibly x (1997) Composition of gold: 9ct Gross weight: 1g Condition: lovely!

Old cut diamond carved half hoop

Victorian old cut diamond 18ct gold carved half hoop ring circa 1890 A fine and substantial high carat gold ring, set with five glittering diamonds. It was likely the prized engagement ring of a Victorian lady, and must have been kept for best as it has so little wear after around 130 years. The round cut centre stone measures approximately 3.2mm, flanked by four graduated stones. Two of these are round cut and two are more of a cushion cut, with the prongs squeezed a little tighter to compensate. It is not particularly noticeable unless you are looking with a loupe. The bigger cushion cut measures around 2.2 x 2.7mm, while its round-cut counterpart is 3mm. The round cut outer diamond is 2.5, and the cushion cut one 2.1 x 2.4mm. Each diamond is cut the old way, with the tip of every culet cut off. Together their very approximate carat weight would be around .4. The setting is a splendid carved, scrolled mount, ornate with backholing and high claw settings that create a wonderful, clean line of these most desired of stones. The band is heavily made in unmarked yellow gold, and feels really comfortable on the hand. It is around 2.4mm. The top of the ring is 18mm across, with a width of 5.1mm and a rise of 4.5mm. This is a ring of timeless design and will give you polish and elelgance on any occasion.

Size: M (UK) / 6 (US) - can be sized by your jeweller Hallmarked: no Circa 1890 Tested as 18ct gold Gross weight: 4g Condition: diamonds have internal flaws and are a little silvery in colour; overall very good

Silver paste bow locket

Antique sterling silver and paste bow locket, circa 1900-10 Who needs to splurge on diamonds when paste is this good? A halo of foiled, hard glass white stones surround a glass locket compartment, which can take a small memento to each side. (Note: the front glass is not fixed and pops out if nothing is inside.) The locket suspends from a wonderful Belle Époque style bow surmount, set with further foiled pastes, and finished with an oval jump ring. The piece is marked 'Sterling Silver' to the reverse. It measures approximately 4.8cm in length and 2.8cm at widest, where the bow is. The original piece of velvet is still inside the locket and we have added a little silhouette to show you how it looks with something in there, but you can absolutely remove that and add your own item! We love this piece styled with an old gold or silver chain - it's certainly a statement piece and can be the highlight of your outfit.

Stamped 'Sterling Silver' Gross weight: 11g Condition: the silver is oxidised in places; a bit of rust or solder on jump ring; one or two stones have a tiny nibble; very good antique condition

Dove of peace gold fob seal

Antique dove of peace green hardstone gold fob seal Our ancestors loved their intaglio fobs! They would wear them at the the end of their watch chain or as an appendage to a chatelaine as part of their every day wear. This lovely tiny example is set with a nice green stone to its terminal carved with a highly detailed, classical dove carrying an olive branch in its beak beneath the word Peace. It really is beautiful. The top of the fob is comprised of finely worked gold, lovely naturalistic scrolls and flourishes. A bail allows for it to placed on your chain, charm holder or split ring. There are no markings but we can certainly date it to the 19th century, likely Victorian, possibly a little earlier. It measures 21.9mm in length, and the stone set terminal measures 14 x 14.8mm. The bail has an inner diameter of 3.4mm and a width of 3.75mm from the outside. It appears to be solid gold but possibly had some base metal added to its core for inner strength.

Acid tested as gold of at least 9ct Gross weight: 3g Condition: a little visible lead solder; good overall
