If you can’t decide between silver and gold, try both! This bracelet uses 18ct gold to set off a lovely collection of cabochon and cushion cut sapphires, which are separated by silver links and filled in with an astonishing seventy-one Old European cut diamonds. Secured with an interwoven clasp and supported with a fine link safety chain, the bracelet will remain a quality piece for years to come.
Considering that it dates from 1890, this charming bee brooch is surprisingly modern. The entire piece is made of two individually modelled 15ct gold bees, each set with thirty-three diamonds and two rubies and complete with opal eyes. Suspended with a pearl-studded gold chain from a safety clip style fastener, they’re ready to become a sparkling addition to any lapel.
Art deco styles are eternally classic because of their clean design, and these French cufflinks add a touch of glamour to any sleeve. Crafted from platinum and rose gold, the hexagonal design gives the illusion of being 3D, reminiscent of a pair of dice. This effect is enhanced by fine enamel detailing, and each ‘face’ is crowned with a diamond displayed in relief in the center.
Another impressive Art Deco piece is a geometric woman’s dress ring, crafted in white gold with a platinum setting. The elongated, delicate pierced design features a central round diamond set within a square frame, accompanied by two smaller diamonds above and below.
For twice the elegance, try this vintage double strand pearl necklace. A classic accompaniment to any outfit, the graduated strings of pearls are secured with a platinum, push fit clasp set with thirty diamonds surrounding an eye-catching central green stone.
Made of aquamarine and diamond set into white gold, these earrings are certainly stunners. Meaning ‘water of the sea’, the central aquamarine stones live up to their name, sparkling a clear blue from their nest of diamonds. Fitted with hinged clips, they are ready for anyone to wear.
Because lots are fixed, you must act fast if you see a piece that catches your attention.
