Foiled amethyst locket back brooch
Fine Georgian foiled amethyst and gold locket back brooch
Here we have a splendid brooch of circa 1830, comprising foiled amethysts in cut down, closed back gold settings. The stones are all flat cut, with one round cut added as a replacement at a later date. They vary in colour from pale lavender to deep, dark purple. At the centre of the brooch is a vacant domed crystal compartment with a wonderful hinged aperture to verso. The original 'c' clip and pin are in fine working order, together with a later gold safety chain. The piece measures around 23.8mm in length and 18mm in width, with a thickness of approximately 8.1mm. Each stone measures around 4mm in its gold setting.

Gold pig charm (matte)
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!

Embossed gold band
Antique Victorian floral motif embossed 18ct gold band
We hunted high and low to find the most beautiful embossed band and this is what we found...
Struck in the brightest high carat yellow gold, an eternal floral pattern in high relief winds its way round this 6.2mm thick band. The carving is crisp and in lovely condition for its 130 years. It retains its original gilded patina, which is what makes the gold so buttery and glittering, even though the finish is rather matt, which we love. Flowers stood for love and romance; this was a wedding ring made to last an eternity, and would have been the prized possession of a Victorian lady. The ring has a slight D shape and rises by around 1.2mm, so really comfortable to wear.
