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.

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.
