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. Hallmarked: kind of  - stamped 15 to reverse of crescent; bolt ring has 9 .375 mark to jump ring Approximate length of bolt ring and crescent together is 5cm; crescent is around 2.7cm at widest Bolt ring is approximately 1.4cm wide and 2cm in length Gross weight: crescent: 5g; bolt ring: 1.7g Condition: bolt clasp is rather stiff and only opens a little way - we recommend you don't force it; its pin is a bit off centre but still secure

Green paste half hoop ring
Green paste half hoop ring
Victorian foiled green paste 15ct gold closed back half hoop ring It’s a pleasure to offer for sale this super charming - and very collectable - antique stacking band. It presents a uniform row of five foil back hard glass stones of pleasing vivid green colour. Each measures around 3mm. They are brilliant cut and simulate real emeralds very well – but without the hefty price tag! Green paste of the 19th century is in itself relatively hard to find and rather sought after. (See p.97 of Georgian Jewellery, Dawes and Collings, for a wonderful look at Georgian era green paste jewellery.) The middle three stones are quite light and bright in colour, while each outer stone is a deeper moss green. This gives a nice variation and depth as we look upon the ring. The stones are all set closed back in beautiful buttery gold, and joined to a simple bifurcated band which tapers from 3.8mm at the shoulder to 2.85 at the underside. There is no date mark, merely a clear 15ct stamp, but as this composition of gold was only used from 1854 to 1932, at a guess we can date this ring from around the 1850s-60s from its style. We don't recommened getting the ring wet as it would cause the foils to deteriorate . Size: N 1/2 (UK) / 6.75 (US) Hallmarked: no Simply stamped ‘15ct’ inside band Gross weight: 2g Condition: resize mark; light abrasions to stones; overall good

Embossed gold band
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. Size: N (UK) / 6½ (US) - resize not recommended due to pattern Hallmarked: yes Maker's mark: E.V Assay office: Birmingham Date letter: p (1890) Composition of gold: 18ct Gross weight: 4.1g Condition: skillful resize mark that does not show on outside; small nick to one edge of gold (see photos #6 and #9)

Sale! Old cut diamond carved half hoop
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
