Original, Antique and Vintage Fine Jewellery
I love the expression on this Art Nouveau lady’s face - she’s small, but she has a lot of character! She was originally a brooch, but has been carefully converted to a charm by adding a simple gold bale.
The front of the charm shows the original bloomed yellow gold finish, and the back of the charm is a rosier gold. The front of the charm is in great condition, but the back shows more wear, especially where it was originally connected to the brooch. The charm is hollow, and although it has some scratches, there are no dents and it is in good wearable condition.
9ct gold (unmarked but tested)
Measures approx 15mm across (excluding bale). Weighs approx 0.85g.
This pendant is deceptively simple: one continuous gold line, holding three lively blue sapphires in a trefoil design. It’s clever and so effective!
The 9ct gold pendant is in great condition, with just minor surface wear to the gold and sapphires. Ready to wear!
9ct gold (marked 9ct on the back of the pendant)
Measures approx 16.8m long including the bale and 14mm across at the widest point. Weighs approximately 1.1g.
Converted from an antique brooch, this key was made around 1910 and features lovely hand engraved details and a bright blue paste gemstone. I love the single vine with a leaf curling around the key too!
The key is in great antique condition, with light scratching and surface wear to the gold and the paste gemstone. The key is very slightly bent and on the back you can see where the brooch fittings have been removed. Ready to wear!
9ct gold (marked 9ct on the back of the key)
Measures 3.5cm long excluding bale. Weighs approximately 1.6g.
The horseshoe is a classic good luck charm, and this is such a good one! Converted from an antique stick pin, this 9ct gold horseshoe features seed pearls and blue enamel.
There is some colour variation in the seed pearls, but all are in good shape so I’ve left them all as I found them. There’s minor wear and losses to the enamel, but overall it’s in good shape. There is some small sections of pitting to the gold and some dents to the back. There’s also some deep scratches on the back of the horseshoe, and you can see where the stick pin has been removed from the back. Still in very good antique condition and ready to wear!
9ct gold (unmarked but tested to confirm)
Measures approx 15.1mm long excluding bale by 15.3mm across. Weighs approximately 1.9g
