These Georgian black dot paste earrings are circa 1800. The timeless snowflake motif, is as wearable today, as it was two hundred years ago. During this period of time, the stones were set with a closed back and foil was placed beneath each stone to bring light and to create vibrancy. The foil also created a distinctive hue,
which is magical in the evening light. Each stone then was then hand set in silver rub over collets. This was a time consuming process requiring great skill. ...click for details

This Georgian 18k gold, pink topaz ring is dated 1822. It is certainly one of the finest examples of gold work that I have had the privilege to offer.

The pattern continues around the entire shank of the ring, balanced and skillfully done. Repousse is a laborious process req ...click for details
