DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT

 

I am always looking for info on names that are unusual, and more info on designer names.

             I will gladly share my info with everyone as I find out more!

                 This Month’s “SPOTLIGHT  ON DESIGNER” shines on

                                       VICTORIAN JEWELRY

                                           “MOONSTONES”

A much known, but somewhat overlooked area of collecting antique jewelry is the predominance of Moonstones during the Victorian era.

I have seen everything from Gold wash, gold fill(ed), to low carat and even high carat true gold used in a myraid of pieces...so do!  Look for moonstones, they were a very fasionable part of this era, and have a lovely glow not seen in many of today’s stones!

Above: 14kt Brooch has c-tube closure, note the diamond accent! This remained overlooked at a local estate sale, because the workmanship was not as exact as machined pieces!

So look more closely when it looks hand-made, a bit different...between the gold, the diamond & the fact this is true Victorian, we value this old brooch at $650-$800!

Below: Small bracelet with 4 orbs of moonstones, original Victorian!

Again, a piece we found languishing at a estate sale...we jumped at it! (as would any true collector!)~ value $95-$125
