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.

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.

Acid tested as gold of at least 9ct Gross weight: 3g Condition: a little visible lead solder; good overall

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

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.
