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.

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

Diamond and pearl enamelled mourning ring
Diamond and pearl enamelled mourning ring
Victorian rose cut diamond and pearl black enamel 18ct gold mourning ring with inscription circa 1846 The jewellery of our predecessors doesn't come any sadder or sweeter than this little flower. At the centre sits a lovely rose cut diamond held in tiny silver claws, as was the custom of the era. Five luminous silvery pearls sit around it to form a pansy, which according to the jewellery language of the time indicated the wearer was dwelling in her thoughts. Inside the band we learn why, as here is the inscription, "Ellen Watson ob 30, april 1846". The full set of crisp hallmarks, which include the duty mark, confirm the ring was made in 1846, no doubt commissioned by Ellen's daughter or sister when they were in mourning for her death. The delicate, leaf-like shoulders have lovely black enamel detailing for a gothic look that feels really edgy today. The flower measures around 8.2mm with a rise of 4mm. The shoulders taper to a band of 1.8mm. The date letter has been struck seemingly by accident on the outside of one shoulder. The flower has space for a locket behind it, now vacant. Size: J (UK) / 4 3/4 (US) Hallmarked: yes Maker's mark: ES (indistinct) Date letter: k (1846) Assay office: London Composition of gold: 18ct Gross weight: 2g Condition: noticeable wear to at least two pearls; pretty good otherwise
