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.

Double ram’s head silver bracelet
Antique double ram's head sterling silver torque bracelet
This impressive and finely detailed solid silver hinged bangle is sure to delight! In the Etruscan Revival taste, two rams regard each other closely. They have impressive curled horns, fringes of fur and fully dimensional little heads. They each wear an ethnic collar with beading and soldered filigree wire work. The bangle has a sprung wire hinge, so it opens a little and is really easy to apply to the wrist. We don't recommened wrenching it fully open. We believe this to be an antique late Victorian item though there are no date marks. The heads with their collars measure around 35mm in length and 23mm at their widest point. The plain body of the bangle is 7.5mm in width. The bangle's internal circumference when closed is around 6 7/8". The silver is all oxidised around the animals' head, though we have given the piece a light overall polish.

For Carly (without bolt ring) Seed pearl crescent moon pendant
Victorian 15ct gold seed pearl crescent pendant on a 9ct gold bolt ring, both circa 1890
We had this crescent professionally converted form a brooch to a stunning pendant to give it a new lease of life, and we hope you'll agree it's done just that! The wonderful seed pearls are so pure and yummy looking in that rich 15ct yellow gold that the Victorians loved for their pieces. The jeweller has cleverly put the new 9ct gold bail and jump ring where the old brooch fitting was. This is a regal and special piece, and looks so fine on a chunky antique chain. We have paired it with a Victorian 9ct gold bolt ring, which enhances the crescent in such a subtle way.
If you would prefer to buy the crescent without the bolt ring, please get in touch and we can adjust the listing for you.
