Pretty turquoise solitaire
£150.00
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.

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.

The ring has been cast in 9ct pale yellow gold with quite an abstract look to the shoulders. It looks lovely stacked up with other rings!

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.
