Mixed metal sort of a day today. Silver and gold seasoned with a sprinkling of diamonds. 😍

My new antique diamond bow brooch looks so good on a gold chain that I’m going to have the pin fitting converted into a small hoop at each side so I can use it as clasp or extender as well as a pendant, making it super versatile.

The nearly 15g vintage gold chain is available on Etsy. And knowing how fickle I am, the diamond bow will no doubt find its way there too at some point…

Sometimes you get a second chance. 😍

I was so annoyed with myself when I got distracted at auction (it was a late evening auction, so I actually fell asleep) and someone else won this antique diamond bow brooch that I really wanted. Imagine my delight when it turned out the buyer thought the pin was broken and returned it. It wasn’t, and I got to buy it after all!

It’s a really lovely piece set with diamonds in silver over gold, with a C-clasp pin fitting and a clever little hook on the back that allows it to be worn as a pendant too.

The diamonds are currently grimly grimy, so a proper clean and an appraisal are next on the list. I can’t wait to see how she looks once the diamonds can catch the light properly.

Sometimes the jewellery gods of second chances come through. ✨

At nearly 170 years apart there’s a big age difference, but these pieces look pretty good together, don’t you think? A little May–December romance in gold and diamonds. ✨

An 1810 Georgian rose-cut diamond pendant meets a solid 9ct gold 1970’s belcher rolo chain. One has two centuries of history behind it; the other brings that lovely, vintage gold weight.

Different eras, different stories, but a great pairing.

Both pieces are available separately on Etsy or here on Instagram. DM me for insta pricing and details 💛

Happy FriYaay!

I consulted the stars… ✨ and they predict your day will be full of golden moments. 💛⭐️🌟

These are mine: an Edwardian paste star, a 1970s 9k gold chain and a Victorian 18k gold band for good measure.

The star and chain are available on Etsy or directly from me here on Instagram. The Victorian band is staying put. 💛

One gold chain, so many ways to wear it. 💛

Wear it long, layer it with a favourite pendant, or wrap it several times around your wrist. A solid 9ct gold belcher chain that’s as versatile as it is gorgeous.

And that’s the beauty of a good gold chain. It doesn’t have to be saved for best, or worn the same way every time. It works with your everyday jewellery, gives a little extra to a simple outfit, and looks just as good doing its own thing.

This one is vintage 1976, Birmingham-hallmarked and weighs 14.69g. Proper solid gold, with the lovely weight and feel that makes a chain like this such a useful addition to your jewellery box. The links are approx. 3.9mm wide and 4.5mm long.

€1,295 on Instagram, including shipping (PayPal Friends & Family or Wise). It’s also listed on Etsy.

DM me if you can see yourself wearing it. 💛

A really good, vintage 9ct solid gold belcher chain, weighing 14.69g and measuring a generous 69cm / 27.17 inches. Birmingham-hallmarked and dated 1976, it bears the maker’s mark WJS, possibly W. J. Sutton Ltd, a well-established chain maker founded in the late 19th century. So there’s a little history behind those initials, too.

Wear it on its own, stack it, add a favourite pendant, or triple-wrap it around your wrist.

I had the chain appraised today, and the replacement value came back at €2,500. I wouldn’t be charging that for a pre-owned chain, of course, but it gives some context for the replacement cost of a comparable piece.

€1,295 including shipping via Instagram (PayPal Friends & Family or Wise)

€1,395 on Etsy (will be listed tomorrow)

A lovely piece of 1970s gold, ready for its next owner.

DM interest 💛

Just in today and available.

A really good, solid 9ct gold belcher chain. 69cm / 27.17” long and weighing 14.69g.

It’s hallmarked 9ct gold, with a Birmingham assay mark I think but I’ve misplaced my loupe, so I’ll confirm once I find it.

A substantial chain with a nice noticeable weight and heft to it, and long enough to wear on its own, with a pendant, or triple-wrapped around the wrist as a bracelet.

Available - DM for details.

On Saturdays, some people brunch. I stare at antique jewellery.

My distractions today are a Victorian gold chain catching the light and a little Edwardian paste sparkle.

The chain is not for sale. The gorgeous paste pendant is available on Etsy.

A happy weekend to all my fellow jewellery obsessives. 🥂

Monday - an Edwardian gilt paste flower brooch pinned to a Victorian pinchbeck fruit-drop pendant. Different pieces, different periods, but they work together.

I particularly like brooches because you can wear them in unexpected ways. A brooch can be a brooch, a pendant, a clasp… or, in this case, part of something else entirely.

Gilt flower paste brooch available on Etsy. Pinchbeck pendant is my own.

Bought these rings to order for a friend and barely had time to photograph them before they were off to their new home. 🤍🩵

A beautiful diamond ring and the prettiest little aquamarine 💙

I source and buy pieces to order, so if there’s something special you’ve been looking for, a particular gemstone, period, style or just something you can’t stop thinking about, drop me a DM. My jewellery-grabbing tentacles extend worldwide, so I’m always happy to keep an eye out. 🐙✨
