Georgian Necklace Enhancers

GEORGIAN STYLE

Georgian jewelry is named for the monarchies of the four King Georges, who in succession ruled England starting in 1714 (plus King William’s reign, which lasted until 1837). A slew of beautiful pieces were produced during the period, and today antique Georgian rings, necklaces and other accessories are coveted by fine jewelry collectors.

There are certain features that distinguish jewelry from this era, including the fact that pieces from the 18th and early 19th centuries were handmade (so don’t let the absence of a maker’s mark lead you to believe otherwise). Antique Georgian jewelry also has a certain “look.” It’s a bit gray because stones were often set in silver, and because stonecutting techniques were not as advanced as they are today, the gems do not possess the level of sparkle to which we have become accustomed.

Intricate metalworking techniques such as repoussé (the hammering of metal into ornate designs) and cannetille (a method of working the gold wire to make it look woven) allowed goldsmiths to really flex their muscles. These gold pieces, either on their own or combined with gemstones, made for highly original and dramatic jewelry. The era also saw pieces with ornately woven strands of human hair.

Pearls, along with colored gemstones like garnets, rubies and sapphires, were widely used in Georgian jewelry. These were often cut in the shape of a cabochon or teardrop. It was fashionable to combine garnets or rubies with seed pearls. In Georgian diamond rings, popular cuts for diamonds included rose, old mine and table. Around the 1780s, paste jewelry, or hand-cut glass on foil, was used to imitate diamonds.

Victorian 15kt. gold seal fob with carnelian intaglio and family motto
Located in Braintree, GB
This antique 19th-century seal fob/pendant, crafted from 15kt. yellow gold features a Carnelian intaglio depicting what is possibly the crest of the Carmichael family or clan, along with the French phrase 'Toujours Prest,' which translates to 'Always Ready' in English. Created in England during the 1870s, this piece showcases exceptional artistry and meticulous attention to detail. Its authenticity is confirmed through X-ray analysis, adding an extra layer of assurance to its value. Dimensions: Length x Width x Height: 2.4 x 2.1 x 3.8 cm Weight: 22.9 grams Condition: This pre-owned item shows age-related wear but is in good overall condition, as depicted in the accompanying pictures. The motto 'Toujours Prêt' is recognized in standard British heraldic sources as belonging to several families. Originally a war cry or slogan, mottoes began appearing with coats of arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, although they weren't commonly used until the 17th century. It's important to note that mottoes are often an optional component of a coat of arms and can be added or changed at will. The Carmichael surname traces back to a barony in Lanarkshire, granted to the Douglas Family by Robert the Bruce in 1321. Prior to this, Robert de Carmitely held lordship in Cleghorn around 1221, and William de Creimechel witnessed a charter in 1225. Sir John de Carmychell held a charter for the lands of Carmychell between 1374 and 1384 from William, Earl of Douglas. The Barony of Carmichael was formally confirmed to the head of the family in 1414. Sir John de Carmichael of Meadowflat notably fought alongside Scottish mercenaries in France against English invaders led...
