Original, Antique and Vintage Fine Jewellery
The design of this target ring is simple but so effective! The two rings of gold surround the lovely pink tourmaline make a great twist on a solitaire ring.
The pink tourmaline is bright and nicely bezel set, with some light wear visible under magnification. The rings around the tourmaline are slightly out of shape, and there’s light surface wear and scratching to the gold. I think the ring may have originally had a higher carat yellow gold wash which has mostly worn off to reveal the rosey 9ct gold underneath, although it is still visible in some spots. Overall in great vintage condition and ready to wear.
9ct rose gold (marked 9ct inside the band)

Measures approx 9.5mm across the front of the outer gold ring. Weighs approximately 1.99g
This ring is a true Victorian delight and features so many things I love about antique jewellery. Beautiful hand engraving, turquoise in shades of blue and green and a beautiful belcher setting - in this case set with a lovely pearl.
Some of the turquoise have been replaced, including a couple which have been replaced with blue enamel. These match quite well so I’ve left them as is, although they could be removed and replaced with new turquoise if desired. One of the turquoise has broken in the setting and a small part of the gem is missing. This is only visible on close inspection. The engraving is worn in places but overall in good condition and still very detailed. There is some minor pitting and wear inside the band. Overall the ring is in great antique condition and ready to wear.
18ct gold (unmarked but tested to confirm)
Size N ½ / US 7 - this ring has been resized before but I would not recommend resizing it again. Please message me to discuss if you’d like this ring to be resized.
Measures approx 9.3mm top to bottom across the front of the ring (at the widest point). Weighs approximately 2.1g
This chunky rose gold signet ring has nice wide shoulders and a large shield, so it has a great presence on the finger. The ring dates from around 1890 - 1910, but is still so wearable today!
The shield is hand engraved with the initials ASF in a lovely script, although these could be removed if you’d prefer a blank singet or to add your own initials.
There is a join line at the back of the band where the ring has been resized before. There’s moderate surface wear and scratching to the gold, which could be polished out if desired. Ready to wear!
9ct gold (marked 9ct)
Size N ½ / US 7 - this ring has been resized before and could be resized again. Please message me for a quote if you’d like me to resize this ring for you.
Measures approx 13.2mm top to bottom across the shield. Weighs approximately 5.6g
I’ve never seen a pendant quite like this before! This late Victorian piece is double sided, with lovely slabs of bloodstone set on each side - but that’s not all! This is a locket, which opens to reveal a hidden compartment. The beautiful twisted gold border expertly hides the hinge and clasp, so the locket is a nice surprise!
Inside the locket there’s glass on just one side, which is sitting a bit crookedly, with hair underneath it. This would have originally been a sweet reminder of a loved one, but the hair has been damaged with age.
The locket opens easily and closes securely. There’s some minor surface scratching and wear to the locket, commensurate with age and wear and some deeper scratches to the 9ct gold bale. The inner edges of the locket are a bit dented, with some scratches and slightly bent out of shape. Overall the locket is in great condition and ready to wear!
18ct gold (French eagles head hallmark for 18ct gold). The jump ring bale is a later addition and tests as 9ct gold (unmarked). If you’d like the bale replaced with an 18ct gold version, please DM me for a quote.
Measures approx 21mm long (excluding bale), 16.5mm wide and 7.5mm thick. Weighs approx 3.7g
