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.

Pearl and hair work mourning brooch
Georgian gold brooch set with pearl and glass locket with hair
A delicate example of a Georgian mourning jewel, this tiny brooch is set with thirty natural ivory colour seed pearls that shine with a fascinating hint of blue. Blonde-brown hair has been fastidiously braided and encapsulated under a pane of glazed crystal; it is perfectly preserved after two hundred years, a testament to the sentiment behind these very special pieces of jewellery. The brooch is cased in pale yellow gold. Original back pin and ‘C’ clasp is in perfect working order and the piece can certainly still be worn. This is a genuine piece of high quality, collectible Georgian jewellery.
Unmarked but very typical in aesthetic and execution of the Georgian time period (1714-1830)
Tests as low carat gold (.375), approx. the equivilent to today’s 9ct
Measures approx. 21mm x 12mm
Each pearl measures approx. 1-2mm each
Condition: surface wear to casing commensurate with age; a deep, smooth nick to the glass measuring 2mm; all pearls as original; overall very good for an item of 200 years
