Victorian era antique locket in sterling silver and green gold
With such a beautiful design on the front, this sterling silver antique locket dates from the 1890's and has a wonderful floral design on the front that is highlighted with green gold. Gold can be alloyed with other metals such as copper to produce rose gold, and while not common today, modern green gold is made it is a very soft green-yellow colour, however years ago it was made by adding cadmium to the alloy resulting in a stronger colour. While never a strong green such as yellow or white gold, the tone of green in antique pieces is more pronounced especially when set against sterling silver as can be seen here on the front to emphasise the leaf design. This subtle colour comes through so lovely and adds such a wonderful unique aspect that makes it so much more unique than any modern that is just mass produced today. With a gorgeous border as well as a design running vertically down the front, the locket measures 36.5mm across by 44.8mm or 57.2mm to the top of the bail. Able to hold two photos inside, this is such a beautiful example of a genuine antique locket that will always be admired and loved. Stock# ES9020 Circa: 1890 $1,750

Wide silver, rose and green gold antique bangle made in the 1890’s
Here is a gorgeous very wide sterling silver, rose and green gold antique bangle that was made in the 1890's and will always look amazing no matter where or when it is worn. Measuring 3.2cm wide, the bangle is highlighted with rose and green gold. Gold can be alloyed with other metals resulting in different colours being produced. Rose gold is made by primarily adding copper to the gold when being alloyed resulting in the lovely warm tone to it, and today green gold is made by adding silver to the gold, however the green colour is more a soft green-yellow colour. Years ago cadmium was added resulting in a stronger colour, and while never a strong green such as yellow or white gold, the tone of green in antique pieces is more pronounced and is used perfectly here to highlight the leaves in the design. With the two colours of gold working perfectly to highlight the floral design, this will not only be admired on the wrist, but also be such a wonderful talking point. Fitted with a safety chain for added security, this is a spectacular antique bangle that is 130 years old yet still in superb condition. Stock# ES9015 Circa: 1890 $Sold
