Exceptional quality antique moonstone collar dating from the 1870’s
Made in the Victorian era, here is an exceptional quality antique moonstone collar dating from the 1870's, that not only has incredibly large pieces of moonstone, but all are of the finest quality and unlike so much of what is on the market today. Moonstone is a very unique gemstone and is often a milky white colour with a soft blue tone running through it, as well as having a wonderful visual phenomenon called adularescence, which is best described as a glow from below the surface, giving the impression of moonlight floating on water- hence its name. This incredible collar is set with twenty two pieces of moonstone that graduate in size perfectly. The "smaller" pieces at the end measure around 9.8mm by 10.7mm and graduate elegantly to the largest one in the centre which measures 17mm by 13.6mm. Smallest is put in brackets as even the smallest pieces are much larger than what is found in moonstone necklaces today let alone even other antique moonstone pieces of jewellery. And then there is the superb quality of the moonstone themselves which are all perfectly matched. Moonstone today is often found without the wonderful adularescence or shimmer that plays throughout the stone and far more often than not, without the gorgeous subtle yet important blueish hue emanating from the stone, and each and every one of these pieces of moonstone display this. Hand made in 15 carat gold, the collar has a soft curve to it that allows it to sit perfectly on the neckline and measures 39cm in length. Even the individual setting of the moonstones is lovely to admire, as the claw seem to climb up to securely hold each of the stones. From near or far, this antique collar will always noted for its graceful beauty and elegance and is of exceptional quality and perfect for any collector of fine Victorian jewellery.

Exquisitely hand carved woolly mammoth ivory cross
The woolly mammoth last roamed the earth about 10,000 years ago, and here is an exquisitely hand carved woolly mammoth ivory cross.

There is no doubt that who ever carved this piece was a true master in carving and knew how to obtain the most detail because as you look closer and closer, you will notice that the carving would not only have taken an immense amount of time, is so exquisitely done. The cross measures 5.5cm across by 8.7cm or 9.7cm to the top of the sterling silver bail. With such a lovely tactile feel to it and exceptional hand carving, both combined with the character of being from a woolly mammoth, this is such a unique and character fulled piece.

Rare 18ct yellow gold Victorian era antique guard chain
Antique guard chains were often used to hold a ladies pocket watch, and today they can be used for the same or to hold anything else that you desire. This one is a very rare 18ct yellow gold antique guard chain that was made in Vienna and dates from the later part of the 1800's. More often than not, these antique guard or antique muff chains are found in silver or 9ct gold and very rarely 18ct gold. Combine this with the fact that many of these are cut down to make two or three necklaces, and finding one in complete length in 18ct gold is such a find. If it was opened and laid out from end to it, it would measure an incredible 172cm (5 foot 6 inches). They are of course joined to make one continuous chain with the swivel clip to hold anything on the end. The length easily allows it to be doubled around the neck and still feel so comfortable and not restricting. This antique guard chain is such an elegant piece , and one that will always feel so special around the neck. Stock# ES7708 Circa: 1890 $12,650
