Antique enamel and diamond necklace with lockets set into the back
Here is a necklace that is so beautiful from near or far and a wonderful testament to the style of the mid-Victorian era in which this was made.
Dating from the 1870's, the necklace was made in 15 carat gold and laid out from end to end it measures 40.5cm in length and sits perfectly around the neckline. However it is the three drop sections combined with the lower chain connecting them that really makes this piece stand out.
The two side drop measure 4.2cm in length and the centre one 5cm, and not only is it set with a pearl in the centre like the side one, but it is also set with six rose cut diamonds that capture the light beautifully. These drops really are magnificent to admire and make you appreciate the elegance of the Victorian era in which this was made.
And then there is the final pièce de résistance to this necklace to take it even further into making this even more special and personal. The back of each of the drops has been fitted with a locket that once photos of loved ones are placed inside, will make this so much more special and personal to the wearer.
This is such a magnificent antique necklace that is sure to become a treasured family heirloom.

Rare antique garnet earrings with lockets on reverse side
There is quite often something so unique and special with antique jewellery and these antique garnet earrings certainly have that something special.
Dating from the Victorian era of the 1880's, these earrings were made in 15ct gold. 15ct was used as a British standard until 1931 making this alone something special about them.
Each earring is set with a cabochon cut garnet which has a rich burgundy colour, and the setting around the garnet itself is so elegant and typical of Victorian era jewellery of this time. The colour of the garnet matches so well with the colour of the 15ct gold and from left to right they measure 14.9mm across and from the bottom to the top of the shepherd hook where it starts to curve over, this distance measures 31.4mm making these earrings the perfect length to wear all the time with pride.
However ironically it is the reverse side that reveals something so unique and special about these earrings - on the back of each earring is a photo locket allowing a secret photo to be placed in each earring. It is this small but incredible feature that makes these earrings so spectacular and unique.
Antique jewellery is always full of surprises, and these antique garnet earrings are so special and will become a real talking piece.

Art Deco guilloché enamel, diamond and pearl pendant with a locket
Guilloché is a decorative technique in which a very precise and repetitive pattern is engraved into an underlying material such as gold or silver and then the enamel applied over the top. After the firing process is completed, it is polished back to a high lustre revealing the engraved pattern below the surface. The result is an incredible look that is breathtaking to admire such as can be seen in this fabulous Art Deco pendant.
Hand made in the 1920's in 18 carat yellow gold and platinum, the pendant measures 25mm across by 33mm to the top of the bail, with the design so captivating that will certainly be admired from near or far.
With a border of twenty four rose cut diamonds and four natural pearls, the way it draws the eye to the centre is just incredible. With the violet-blue g enamel still looking amazing even after 100 years have passed, there are a further seventeen rose cut diamonds and a final natural pearl sitting in the centre. Even the bail at the top is discreetly set with two more rose cut diamonds with all the diamonds having a total weight of 0.20 carats.
And then not only is this just a magnificent pendant, but on the reverse side is a locket compartment for a photo of a loved one to make this even more personal and special.
This is truly such an elegant piece of jewellery and one that is destined to become a treasured family heirloom.
