A fabulous jumbo horseshoe pendant with platinum notches.
Bold, stylish, and full of attitude, this statement piece is designed to stand out. The seven notches are iconic—long believed to bring luck—paired beautifully with the timeless horseshoe motif. Finished with a high shine and detailed with raised studs, it catches the light from every angle.
Equestrian jewellery has never gone out of style, with a history that stretches far beyond the Victorian era. As early as ancient Babylon, the U-shaped horseshoe was associated with protection and good fortune. Traditionally worn upright, it was said to “hold” luck, keeping it close to the wearer.
Superstitions aside, this piece is all about effortless style. Crafted in rich, buttery gold with beautiful detailing, it’s a striking addition to any jewellery collection. Whether worn solo on a long chain or layered into a neck stack, it delivers undeniable impact.
Bold, elegant, and impossible to ignore.

A super sweet pair of antique earrings in 18ct mirror-shiny orbs with tiny turquoise seed cabochons dotted around the spheres. Solid gold but not too heavy, so they sit comfortably without tugging at the lobes. Originally the ear wires bore French hallmarks, but have since been replaced; the current ear wires are 18ct gold with a lovely ball on the hook to complement sphere shape drop.
The high‑carat gold’s polished surface contrasts beautifully with the vivid sea‑blue tones, making them really stand out and look simply lovely on — perfect for summer and adding a splash of colour!

A super sassy diamond snake ring with the most fabulous wide band in an alluring snakey wrap around design in 18ct gold. This beautiful Victorian ring has just over 0.5 carat of old mine cut diamonds each graduating in size throwing a luscious old cut sparkle.
I love the little details on this from the kink in the end of her tail to the grooves in her coiled body. This makes a fabulous stacker and a lovely eye-catching ring with that beautiful mellow patina you only get with antique gold.
A solid weight of just under 11g that is comfortable to wear thanks to the smooth, comfort-fit finish on the inner band. This is a perfect statement ring and an ideal stacker for that curated one-finger look.

Mission
Seeing so much gold being melted down was the incentive for starting this business. There were so many pieces that were far too good to melt and be lost to history — each one carrying stories and craftsmanship worth saving. Sustaining antique jewellery means caring for every piece with respect for its history and materials, so these treasures remain beautiful, meaningful and ready to be worn and cherished by future generations.
The beauty of many of these pieces has endured far longer than any of us, and it is thanks to their previous owners that we can enjoy these precious objects today. This approach not only protects these treasures from destruction, it is also one of the most sustainable ways to keep alive our love for jewellery and the traditions behind it.
