A heart shaped leaf and vine design repeats all the way around this rare 1950s Boucher bracelet.

Great details from every angle, this is a lovely piece in great condition.

The clasp is invisible, well hidden under a split in one of the light catching leaves and secured with a safety chain.

One of many new treasures to choose from this week in my cabinet !

Known to many as a citrine, in traditional Scottish jewellery, these stones are called Cairngorms.
Named from the mountains in where these stones were found, they have been used to adorn the hilts of weapons used by Scottish warriors, dating back to the 16th century.

This brooch dates to before the turn of the century, crafted while queen Victoria reigned. She and Albert had a deep fondness for Scotland, leading them to purchase Balmoral Castle. Their frequent visits lead to increased tourism and their celebration of the culture lead to the popularization of tartans and Scottish themed jewellery - much of it featuring Cairngorms - throughout the Victorian era.

The overall design of this piece is reminiscent of traditional Scottish citrine jewelley, often featuring thistles or celtic designs.

This piece features intricate hand engraving in 10k gold.

There are no hallmarks in this piece but we can assume it was likely crafted in Scotland or England.

This brooch features an 11ct genuine citrine and comes with an up to date appraisal.

A truly unconfined Canadian artist, Guy Vidal has not only created unusual brutalist jewellery in various materials, but also has worked in paint, lithography, glass and etching.

This necklace has a unique clasp that opens and closes on its own as you remove or place the link inside.

Perhaps one of the most intriguing aspects of the piece!

This outatanding piece was crafted in Mongolia and carries all of the traditional features of historical jewellery making of the area, bearing a distinct trademark crossover of influence from both Russian and Chinese jewellery design.

Bright gold vermeil, enamel, filigree, amethyst and peridot gemstones come together in a beautiful palette on this ornate bracelet designed by Barbara Garwood.

Although this piece looks ancient, it is relatively modern. Barbara worked directly with the artisans in Mongolia to express her own designs of colour and shape, but insisted she did not want to change the traditional techniques they used to create jewelley.

In recent years, many artisans are leaving the traditional craft to move the big cities in China, in search of careers in modern jewellery making.

These crafting techniques are a dying art, and the designer of this piece hoped to do a small part to help keep it alive.

These beautiful guilloche enameled earrings are still in beautiful condition from the 1940's - 50's.

Roses with a pop of green surrounded by sparkling rhinestones make these little dangles as sweet as can be.

I updated these earrings with new gold filled antique style sterling hooks that look just like (or maybe nicer than) the originals.

These beauties just arrived in one of my treasure cabinets at along with a half dozen other new pieces.

DM with interest or head over to have a look.

A bouquet that lives on forever, as we start to feel the first fresh breezes of the end of a season.

This unique ring is inspired by a beautiful Georgian design. The navette was a popular shape of the era, with many pieces of jewellery created around it.

Set on a mother of pearl shell, surrounded by sparkling marcasites, a sterling bouquet is featured in the center.

Three flowers and one petal contain a marcasite and one of the flowers features a sweet tiny ruby.

A thoughtful and simple leaf design flanks the centerpiece on either side, with just the right amount of detail.

This beauty shines with colorless natural diamonds surrounding a vivid natural sapphire set in 14k white gold.

A piece that wears its age very well, eight little cowboy hats linked into a bracelet.

Creases and tiny twisted bands are details that make this one extra charming.

Marked sterling, the tarnish adds to the history of the piece so I only gave it a very light polish.

I estimate this piece to be early mid century.

Just shy of 7" in length

Each hat measures 5cm x 7cm
