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.

Heart with diamond ring
Vintage diamond set 9ct gold heart ring
Diamonds are forever, and so is a heart! This adorable ring is made in yellow gold and has a pretty diamond set in a heart which has nice filigree detail round its edge. It has lightly marked lines that go down it for a slight textured effect. The hallmarks tell us the ring was made in London in the 1970s by the manufacturing jewellers FM. The heart including the filigree measures approximately 9.2 x 9.3mm. The band tapers to 1.3mm. This is a fun and pretty ring for daily wear.

Vintage pearl half hoop ring
Vintage seven stone pearl 9ct gold half hoop ring
A clean line of seven uniform ivory pearls forms the ultra delicate aesthetic of this marvellous ring. The half round pearls are all held in pretty claws, and set open back in an intricate crown-like gallery. The setting between each pearl looks like a little tulip flower from the side. The top of the ring measures approximately 20mm across with a width of 4.4mm and a wise of 4mm; each pearl is around 3.1mm. The shoulders taper to a dainty band of 1.4mm. The ring looks gorgeous all by itself but truly enhances any other band it is stacked against - think turquoise, ruby, emerald - anything vivid will stand out against these creamy white pearls. What is really clever is that it looks like you are wearing a full eternity band, but without any of the discomfort or impracticality that would bring. We don't recommend you getting this ring wet. It will come in a leatherette ring box.

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.

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
