Jewelry: Victorian


What's New in the Collector's Showcase of Jewelry: Victorian?
The Most Recent Additions to This Category are First!
Iconic Art Deco brooch, marked Sterling, has a chrysophrase, or green glass, bezel-set cushion-set rectangle, bordered by a row of marcasites with a foliate finial at each end. Simply stunning!

Art Deco sterling, marcasite and chrysophrase brooch is in excellent, original and unpolished condition with a secure safety clasp and no defects.

Size: 1 5/8 x 3/4 x 1/8 inch depth, 7.6 grams  The condition of this Victorian pin is outstanding!  It appears to be heavy rolled gold or gold filled with no dings, even on the back.  Tube hinge, extended C clasp and a tiny ring on back which maybe was meant to hold a charm or jewel though I see no signed that anything was there.  I think it was hand assembled as the middle piece is a tiny bit crooked. It probably spent its life in great grandmother's jewelry box.  Saphiret rolled gold fish hook earrings with a delightful fancy embossing make these earrings from the Edwardian era one of the loveliest pair I've seen. The centers house saphiret stones with gorgeous coloring of blue with brown. The wire backs are un-marked 14kt gold. Saphiret stones are really glass made with real gold, and are highly sought. I have seen just a single stone sell for over $50. The earrings face measures shy of an inch, but hangs lower from the extended wire. 


Condition: Normal wear from age and wires are not perfectly straight.  Victorian chatelaine note pads, or also referred to in reference guides as chartelaines’; do come up for sale more often than some other chatelaine utensils. But I have never seen any chatelaine piece with a pomegranate motif. This is truly a wonderful Victorian piece that reflects the era’s strong belief in God's Word. Pomegranates where used for virility in Bible times, so it might be a fitting motif for a Head Mistress with dreams. 


This chatelaine note pad is brass with a silver plate that has worn, making it even more beautiful. The flat portion of the back side is not so pretty due to the extensive wear, but is an indication that it was well used. A rustic pencil slides through the side chambers to hold the top and bottom together. There is still about half of the paper on the pad present.

I was informed by a collector at one of the Antique Shows we attend that this is a Golfing Pencil set. The early plastic on this set is marvelous with layers of metallic gray, rust with a darker line pattern, and metallic gold flex. The chain for the pendant is 18 inches. The pendant, including a metal finished bead (finish has come off in a couple places and reveals a flex bead underneath) measures 2 inches. The lead pencil is all one piece and must be molded, although I don't see any seams. The findings are all plated copper with most of the finish gone, other than the pencil tip.   Wow, what a neat set this is. Done in large facet square cut rhinestones all hand set and pronged. Two rows of stones on each piece which includes 7/8" screw back earrings, 7" bracelet with security chain, and a 14-1/2" necklace. Silver plate over brass with only the necklace showing minimal wear to the underside finish. All stones are bright and shiny and give almost a metallic shine. Book value $275.  Lovely Art Nouveau locket with curls and dripping etching accented with paste rhinestones. A couple of the stones have darkened. There is a monogram on the back with the letters MEH, great for Elizabeth Mary Henderson or the like! The closure is marked 1/20, standing for gold plate content at 1/20th. The finish is in very good condition with no wear.


This locket is larger than most at two inches in length and is shaped in a shield or family crest form. It opens easily. There is dark paper where a photo would go with no celluloid covering over it. The dainty chain is 16 inches. Originally this may well have been a one of kind made to order locket. I own a 1971 industry guide book that shows samples of manufactured lockets among other products, and this locket is not represented. Estimated book value $275.  Beautiful figural fashion jewelry pendant, showing Owl with green rhinestone eyes and large faux turuoise stone, Pendant and chain are made from silver tone metal, Pendant measures approximately 2 inches long and chain about 24 inches around the neck.

Here is a very nice Art Deco pin. The horse head has two rows of bright rhinestones that make up his mane, and a green cabochon eye. Shooting up from behind are flags giving him a festive look. This could have been designed for a special event, but I haven't found any information on a figural pin like him. He's silver tone and unmarked. He's in very good condition other than his pin being bent in the center. I have taken a close-up photo for you to see there is no finish loss or anything that affects it from working smoothly. Estimated book value $150.  Gorgeous HP Lady seated in field of flowers with a little Cherub bringing her more.  Raised HP Daisies on each side of the Cameo with Heavy Gold Gilt decoration all over.  Nice pin dish or vanity dish.  Unmarked piece from Victorian Era in mint condition.  Heavy Gold Gilt with Handpainted Cameo Rosebuds and raised Beaded white accents on the sides of this pair of Bone or Pin Dishes.  Absolutely lovely to look at and touch. They are a work of art that very much reminds us of Nippon pieces.  Marked on the back with numbers in Gold.  This is a very nice Victorian choker with a substantial presence about it. It's made of Art Glass with swirls like marble, most likely Czechoslovakian. The large center piece is just over an inch long and sets between two mess and repousse work pieces that look like watch fobs. Then there are three smaller ribbed beads on each side that follow. The chain is silver plate brass, as are the filigree and mesh, with a total length of 16 inches.

In my years of antiquing I have only seen one other piece of erwin tails that were used during the Roaring Twenties Art Deco period.  Both that piece and this one were hand crafted.


This pin has six tails that have been tied to the back of a small rhinestone fan pin that I would say dates from the 1940's. The pin is 1-3/4" across. The stones have yellowed with age but blend well with the Erwin fur. The back pin itself has some finish loss where it looks like it had been bent slightly. I tested it on several types of fabric and it still works fine, however, I would not recommend it on silk. It would look smashing on a hat! If you're looking for an antique one-of-a-kind unique piece, this fits the bill.  The old dress clips are the most versatile vintage jewelry you'll own. They are great clipped to the neck of  T-shirts or dresses, use them on lapels of blazers, jackets or coats, or clip them to the waste or on a bag or scarf. The possibilities are endless.  


This dress clip is a large statement piece. It looks like sterling with brass flower petals, but it is not marked. There are plum cut crystal stones in the floral centers that pop out from oak leafs and berries that are tide at the top with a bow. It's a unique clip that is far from norm. Estimated book value $85.  The ring is turn of the century, Art Deco and either 10kt gold or 12kt. My jewelry felt it was 12kt, but he didn't test it and my chemicals have expired to get a true reading. There are three lovely twisted gold ropes that wrap around the setting and crisscross the band. The ring measures 4.75 on my ring sizer, however, I have worn it on several occasions, and I take a 5.5, so it must have something to do with its large curved setting. There are a couple nicks out of the bezel rim. They are not bad, and the stone sets tight but I did want to disclose it (see second photo).


The stone is outstanding black opal. I had trouble getting the green to show up in my photos, but this stone is the first fire opal I've ever seen that really looks like a fire.  The reason I took it to my jewelers is because of cloudiness, predominantly on one end. He told me that these old rings were sometimes domed with an early plastic to protect the stone and it appears to have developed a space between the stone and the dome on the one end. There is no damage or cracking to the dome.  


Another interesting aspect of this ring is the backing. I thought it was painted but my jeweler said it is actually onyx, another technique they used years ago that caused the opal to show its maximum color. My jeweler put a value of $500 on it several years ago before the price of gold went up.  Antique gold tone locket  Porcelain center cabochon stone of a victorian lady in a hat of pink roses surrounded by rosey pink austrian crystals.
