A lovely piece of antique jewellery. This lavalier type pendant is made of 9 carat gold and is set with amethysts and pearls. This pendant hangs from a decorative nine carat gold chain. Th amethyst drop at the base of this Lavaliere separately articulated. The Lavaliere measures about 3.5 cms long and it hands from a chain which measures about 44 cms long.
Antique rose gold 5 bar gate bracelet heart padlock
A wonderful antique gold bracelet made of 9 ct gold in a warm shade of pinkish gold known as Rose gold. This bracelet fastens with a heart shaped padlock which is stamped as 9ct. There is also an attached safety chain. The bracelet is just over 18 cms long and about 1.5 cms wide. This is quite a heavy bracelet weighing 24 grams. An excellent piece of antique jewellery in lovely condition

Vintage Jewellery Blog
Yesterday I started my A-z of vintage jewellery materials with Abalone. This series is continuing every day or so. Next is Agate closely followed by amber, amethyst, aquamarine and aventurine. Hmmm, I think this is going to take several months to work my way to Z!
Happy collecting
