  • Edwardian Antique Sterling Silver Fob Chain Cowra Calendonian Society Hallmarked
    Located in Mona Vale, NSW
    This is a Unique Piece of Australian History. It features a medallion that was commissioned by the Calendonian Society of Cowra in the early 1900’s and it has quite an interesting history. With so many immigrants coming from Scotland in the late 1800’s, the Caledonian Society was established as a social gathering and to uphold and honour the traditions and culture of the country of their birth.

  • Antique 10ct Rose Gold Alexandrite Dormeuse Earrings Circa 1920s Valued $3150
    Located in Mona Vale, NSW
    Very Unique Antique Earrings and a True Rarity These Circa 1920s earrings are set with synthetic Corundum ‘imitating Alexandrite’ and colourless paste. The 1920s places them very early in the era of ‘colour-change’ creation (please continue reading to learn about their history). They are crafted in 10ct Rose Gold and they are unusual because the clips open at the front of the setting. These settings are typical of the 1920s and called ‘Dormeuse’, or sleeper in the French language. The style was constructed with a back-to-front ear wire so that they can be worn by day and are comfortable when asleep. They were popular in the mid 19th to earlier 20th centuries. Quick History of ‘Corundum Imitating Alexandrite’ Alexandrite is a ‘colour change’ gemstone...
