“The Empress Eugénie à la Marie-Antoinette”,

A Georgian topaz cross pendant, the centre and the

A Georgian topaz cross pendant, the centre and the arms of the Latin style cross set with sherry coloured faceted topazes, cut-down collet set to a gold mount and pendant loop, circa 1810.

Coloured, faceted gemstones were a popular choice for jewellery during the beginning of the nineteenth century, and this bright, glinting cross pendant makes a lovely statement piece. Jane Austen and her sister Cassandra were given similar topaz cross pendants by their brother in 1801, when he brought the gifts for his sisters after serving in the Royal Navy: the cross pendants are now in the collection of Jane Austen’s House Museum. This pendant would look beautiful on either a gold chain (worn like Jane Austen would have worn it) or strung from a ribbon.

An Antique Russian Emerald And Diamond Dragonfly B

An Antique Russian Emerald And Diamond Dragonfly Brooch, circa 1910.
The dragonfly has been rendered in exquisite, glittering detail. The body is set with a pattern of bright, crème de menthe-coloured emeralds and dazzling diamonds. Further scintillating diamonds encrust the wings of the insect, and the eyes feature bright and vibrant rubies. This is a wonderful piece that exemplifies the early 20th Century style for gem-set insect motifs in jewellery.

An Art Deco emerald and diamond ring, the square-cut emerald estimated to weigh 1.7 carats, made in around 1920, this ring features a central emerald with a bright and lush colour. On the top and bottom of the emerald are two dazzling and impressive diamonds, which catch the light beautifully. Surrounding the emerald are further lively diamonds. The use of platinum, diamonds and emeralds is typical of jewellery from this period, and this stunning ring is a perfect example of Art Deco elegance and superb craftsmanship.
