Double ram’s head silver bracelet
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. Stamped 925 to denote solid sterling silver Gross weight: 45g Condition: good antique

Sale! Carnelian fob seal with monogram
Carnelian fob seal with monogram
Ornate Victorian yellow gold fob seal set with monogrammed carnelian Elaborate scrolled gold work forms the top of this magnificent fob seal. This was likely the prized accessory of a Victorian lady or gent, worn at the end of their watch chain. A vivid orange carnelian has been carved with the monogram HN within a frame. It tests as gold and does appear to be solid - though it might have some base metal inside to give it strengh. The condition is very clean and nice. It measures 30.4mm in height. The carnelian set terminal measures 20.4 x 17mm. The bail has an inner diameter of around 4.9mm. The outside of the bail has a width of 5.3mm. Pretty beaded finial to top. We believe it dates to the late Victorian era, circa 1900. Hallmarked: no Tested as low carat gold (9ct+) Gross weight: 12g Condition: good

Miniature gold cased watch key
Miniature gold cased watch key
Antique 19th century gold cased watch key A delightful antique watch key decorated with a chased gold swirl pattern to the sides. Set with a nice square cut chalcedony to one side, and a foiled rock crystal to the other. The foiling on this has deteriorated with age, likely a bit of water damage. This has only given the stone greater depth and we just love how it looks! The bail swivels, as the piece was made to wind a watch. The gold casing is very buttery and beautiful; it's likely it sits over a core of base metal which was done to give the item strength. It measures around 3.06cm in length and 1.05cm at widest. It likely made in the Victorian era. Hallmarked: no Tested 15ct gold cased Gross weight: 1.8g Condition: foiling to rock crystal has deteriorated; very good otherwise This item is part of our miniature fobs collection
