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.

Garnet and seed pearl conversion ring
Georgian flat cut garnet and seed pearl lace pin conversion ring
This special, one of a kind piece has been made from the sweetest original 15ct gold lace pin of circa 1800. It is set with three foiled, flat cut garnets all tipped with tiny natural seed pearls in a fascinating historical style. Charmingly the seed pearls vary in colour, being more ivory in tone to one end and more of a warm, light champagne hue to the other. One has a very sweet little 'beauty mark' to its centre - this, we believe, occurred naturally in the pearl and has been set in the piece for interest. The garnets do show a bit of age-related wear in their foils, but this is just a delightful piece all round. The former brooch has been beautifully smoothed to the reverse and precision set to an unmarked 9ct gold band of 2.7mm width. The top of the ring measures around 18.7 x 11.9mm, and sits with a flat, low profile on the hand.

Care advice: do not submerge ring in water as this will degrade the foils

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!

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.
