These earrings are bold and make quite a statement. They are set in 14k and silver settings with later date 14k ear wires. Measuring 9.5 mm they equate to over two carats on each ear. The faceted stones are bright and beautifully reflect light from every angle, as they are set open back. There are several tiny natural inclusions which are not seen when worn. They measure 5/8 inches long from the top of the gold wires. Easy to wear and very lovely. Circa 1900.

This antique gold necklace is circa 1860. It is designed in the Etruscan Revival manner. The archeological excavations at Pompeii and Herculeum unearthed treasures, and brought with it renewed interest in the stunning Etruscan gold work. The term of Etruscan Revival was used to define this period, and famous jewelers such as Castellani, tried to emulate the designs and craftsmanship. This necklace is classical in inspiration, and perhaps one of the finest in execution that I have ever had the p ...click for details

This elegant gold, rock crystal heart locket is English, circa 1880. The large and bulbous rock crystals are beautifully cut by a lapidary and set in substantial gold bezels. The heart, which articulates, has a gold bow surmount set with natural pearls. It is also a locket that could house a photo or a lock of hair, as the back has a removable bezel. I personally prefer it worn as seen. The rock crystal is substantial and the cabachon cut reflects light and seems to illuminate with every moveme ...click for details
