Pretty turquoise solitaire
Antique turquoise gold ring
Very pretty, dainty gold solitaire ring presenting a sweet turquoise cabochon in a handmade, closed back setting. The band looks to have been made via the casting method and has little faded scroll details round the band and feathery, leafy designs on the shoulders. Lovely! :) Easy to wear, stacks beautifully with other rings.
I bought it as a Georgian ring, however there are no marks, and I would probably date it to the later, early Victorian era.
The gold has a light rosy hint and the stone setting is a little silvery.
The ring is 5.8mm at widest, where the turquoise sits, and narrows down to 1.6mm at the back of the band.
Size: N (UK) / 6.5 (US)
Gross weight: approx. 1.5g
Tests as low carat gold
Condition: the band has thinned a little; very wearable overall. The turquoise has some natural black marks to it, which I believe is a sign of age.

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.

Dove of peace gold fob seal
Antique dove of peace green hardstone gold fob seal
Our ancestors loved their intaglio fobs! They would wear them at the the end of their watch chain or as an appendage to a chatelaine as part of their every day wear. This lovely tiny example is set with a nice green stone to its terminal carved with a highly detailed, classical dove carrying an olive branch in its beak beneath the word Peace. It really is beautiful. The top of the fob is comprised of finely worked gold, lovely naturalistic scrolls and flourishes. A bail allows for it to placed on your chain, charm holder or split ring. There are no markings but we can certainly date it to the 19th century, likely Victorian, possibly a little earlier. It measures 21.9mm in length, and the stone set terminal measures 14 x 14.8mm. The bail has an inner diameter of 3.4mm and a width of 3.75mm from the outside. It appears to be solid gold but possibly had some base metal added to its core for inner strength.
