I rarely get this form of earring in inventory, but just in from Paris, are these spectacular paste earrings. This very desirable form is a solitaire with a tiny paste accent stone on the top. Each paste is set in silver, hand crimped collets just as the diamonds were set in this period. They are 19th century back to front gold fittings that are a very pale rose gold.
The earrings measure 3/4 inches long x slightly less than 1/2 inches wide. The large stones are a cushion shaped rose cut. The ...click for details

These long, Victorian, dramatic earrings are English, circa 1860. They are designed with well match banded agates with a desirable dark brown, black and white combination.

The earrings are 15k and the gold retains the or ...click for details

This bracelet is Victorian, circa 1890. It is quite beautiful as the semi-precious stones were well chosen for color. The stones include sapphires, tourmalines, zircons and spinels. Each stone is hand faceted and set in fine claw mounts typical of the period. The claws are so pretty that they add fine detail from the sides as well as from the top. The bracelet measures a very wearable 7 1/4 and terminates with an integral push clasp. The stones graduate in size with the central stone measuring 8 ...click for details
