We present a true work of art to your attention - a rare and unique brooch carved from a single Italian Mediterranean coral Sciacca. This antique brooch, made in the form of a putto - a little boy angel with a diamond necklace, is imbued with the spirit of the times and the sophistication of the Renaissance when images of cherubs in the form of winged babies were especially popular. Exquisite hand carving amazes with its high detail and craftsmanship. Every element—from the soft features of the angel's face to the finest lines of the wings—conveys the magnificence of the master's work. The brooch is fixed on 14K gold, which gives it strength despite a crack in the wing and small damage in the area of the necklace, which is quite acceptable for such a venerable age and does not spoil this work of art in any way. This angel once soared in the heavens, but time has left its mark on his delicate wing. Perhaps this crack is a silent witness to the trials he has endured, making him not just a piece of jewelry, but a symbol of resilience and timeless beauty. There is a unique charm in this imperfection—a story that transforms him into something greater than just an adornment. The history of this jewelry is shrouded in mystery. Perhaps this cherub was created in the 18th century, or its history goes even further into the depths of the centuries. The 14K gold clasp was probably added in the 20th century, giving the brooch extra security and preserving it for future generations. This is not just a piece of jewelry; it is a unique artifact with a soul that takes you back to the past, preserving a piece of history and craftsmanship from long-gone eras.

A rare and historically evocative Georgian mourning ring dated 1776, crafted in 20 karat gold and adorned with white enamel, a color traditionally associated with remembrance and purity. The band bears the inscription “Wm McPHEADRIS ESQ: OB: 14 JAN: 1776 AET :55,” commemorating the life and passing of William McPhaedris at the age of 55—an intimate and poignant artifact of 18th-century memorial tradition. William McPheadris, Esq. was a member of London’s prestigious Inner Temple and son of John McPheadris. John's brother was Captain Archibald MacPheadris, a wealthy merchant and member of the King’s Council in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, whose home—now known as the Warner House—is a National Historic Landmark. Dated 1776—the pivotal year of American independence and now its 250th anniversary—this ring embodies a striking transatlantic narrative, linking the British legal world with prominent colonial families at the very moment the two were being irrevocably divided. The use of white enamel is particularly meaningful, signifying that he died unmarried, a detail that aligns with his known biography. The ring measures 3mm in width and weighs 5.41 grams, offering a refined and understated presence consistent with Georgian mourning jewelry...
