These possible Spanish, or broader Iberian, gold long drop earrings have the kind of mystery that makes antique jewellery so compelling. Their exact date remains elusive: they may have been made as early as the late eighteenth century, yet details could also point to the nineteenth century, or even the very early twentieth. Four large natural citrines glow from golden yellow to orange, their warmth gently lifted by small half seed pearls. A striking, sunlit pair with presence, history and charm.

There is a particular pleasure in wearing a jewel like this: small, unexpected and quietly playful, as if a bright little creature has chosen to settle on the fabric for a while. This French late Victorian brooch, circa 1890, brings a touch of movement and mischief to clothing, catching the eye with flashes of diamond light and colour. It is less a formal ornament than a moment of sensory delight, made to be noticed close at hand.

A striking Art Deco platinum diamond brooch, circa 1930, whose disciplined geometry is softened by a remarkably intimate history. Set with over 10 carats of old European, old brilliant and single cut diamonds, it remains with its pouch, handwritten technical card from 1932 and even the black textile strip once used to secure it behind a garment. These surviving details make one feel less like an owner than a passing companion, one whose life runs briefly alongside the jewel’s own story before he ...

This beautifully preserved 19th-century Italian micromosaic suite (formed by hand from minute pieces of coloured glass) comprises a brooch and matching pair of earrings, each finely worked with early Christian symbols on a rich red ground. Doves, the Chi-Rho monogram, Alpha and Omega, grapes and wheat speak of faith, eternity and the Eucharist. The brooch bears a Vatican workshop stamp, linking this Victorian suite to a Roman atelier, the Vatican Mosaic Studio, known for exceptional craftsmanshi ...

Designed as a stylised beetle, this Late Victorian brooch of circa 1880 has a quietly eccentric charm. Its reddish brown tiger’s eye body shows a subtle rose copper sheen as the light moves across it, while seed pearls and red stone eyes add small points of brightness. Made in gilded silver, with time-softened wear to the gilding, it reflects the 19th-century delight in nature, exoticism and imaginative jewel design.

Made in France around 1920, this Art Deco ring sets five rose cut diamonds within a slender navette shaped centre, framed by a vivid border of rubies. The elongated outline, crisp geometry and contrast of white and warm gold give the jewel its unmistakably period character. Refined rather than loud, it has the lively elegance of a small evening jewel from the Parisian years of Art Deco.

A late 18th century Portuguese ring, its elongated silver head densely set with colourless stones traditionally described as Minas Novas, most probably rock crystal, mounted on a yellow gold hoop. The jewel belongs to a distinctive tradition of Portuguese jewellery in which foil-backed colourless stones were used to create a rich, luminous effect reminiscent of diamond-set jewellery.

This late Victorian to early Art Nouveau triple snake ring, made around 1900, coils in richly textured 18K yellow gold. Its three serpent heads carry, in turn, a diamond, a ruby and a sapphire, giving the jewel a lively play of colour and symbolism. The openwork design and sinuous movement place it firmly within the transitional taste around 1900, where Victorian ornament begins to soften towards Art Nouveau.

Dating from around 1650, this Renaissance to Baroque ring is a rare survival of early diamond jewellery. Its restrained gold and silver construction holds six table cut diamonds and one rose cut diamond, their quiet brilliance enhanced by the historic foil backed setting. Probably of Belgian origin, the ring is valued here less for ornament than for the early stones that help place it so convincingly in the 17th century.

Dating from around 1890, this late Victorian ring centres on a pearl encircled by eight old brilliant cut diamonds, together weighing approximately 2.00 ct. The yellow gold top, red gold shank and partly legible 1890 engraving inside the band give the jewel an intriguing history, possibly pointing to a later marriage of elements. With its raised cluster and soft contrast between pearl and diamond, it remains a charming survivor of late nineteenth century sentiment.

This Victorian locket pendant, dating to around 1860, has a lovely, slightly rounded form with a pleasing weight in the hand. Crafted in 18K yellow gold, its front is centred by a star set with rose cut diamonds and a half seed pearl, surrounded by smaller stars, while the reverse is decorated with a floral motif. It is a quietly romantic piece, celestial on one side and floral on the other, with the private, personal character that gives antique lockets their appeal.

With its rose cut diamonds set on foil, this Georgian diamond ring from circa 1830 has the darkened, intimate glow so characteristic of early 19th century jewellery. The warm yellow gold shank meets a silver detailed head of seven natural diamonds, arranged with quiet symmetry and old-world charm. Most likely Belgian, it remains a tender survival from the Georgian period.

Centred by an old brilliant cut diamond of approximately 0.70 ct, this Art Deco platinum bracelet from circa 1930 carries the poised elegance of its period with quiet assurance. Its openwork diamond-set centre is continued by slender articulated links, bringing the total to 55 natural diamonds weighing approximately 2.40 ct. Refined, architectural and graceful on the wrist.

Victorian pendant, made around 1900, designed as a stylised fly or bee. Set with rose cut diamonds and senailles, a red paste centre, and a cultured pearl drop. A small ornamental jewel with the naturalistic charm so loved in the period.

A stylish pendant from about 1920, this delicate jewel blends the lingering poetry of Art Nouveau with the cleaner geometry that would soon define Art Deco. In yellow and white gold, it is designed as a dragonfly resting among reedmace, its wings picked out in softly shaded enamel and its body enlivened by a single seed pearl. Small in scale yet finely observed, it carries something of the stillness and light of waterside nature.

A ca. 1900 Arts and Crafts / Art Nouveau pendant in 18K gold, its softly curving form set with translucent blue enamel leaves and a small old cut diamond. The design has a quiet, hand-worked charm, balancing the organic spirit of Art Nouveau with the more restrained character of Arts and Crafts. Light in scale yet full of period atmosphere, it feels both decorative and intimate.
