Something exciting is coming — @blancamiro x Larkspur & Hawk — November 4th by @larkspurandhawk
A single tulip in full bloom, captured in precious gemstones. Dating to circa 1900, this Victorian tulip brooch is set with a delicate gradient of rose-cut diamonds and rubies, with emerald leaves and a diamond-set stem. Its light, naturalistic form reflects the transition from Victorian jewelry to the elegance of the Belle Époque. Even more special, the brooch retains its original fitted leather case from Wartski, the celebrated London jewelers established in 1882. England, ca. 1900. From our Antique Collection. Painting: Balthasar van der Ast (1593–1657), A Single Tulip in a Vase, ca. 1625. Oil on panel. Mauritshuis, The Hague. by @larkspurandhawk

Prized throughout the 18th and early 19th centuries for its deep cobalt hue, Bristol blue glass possessed a luminous intensity that rivaled fine sapphires. Dating to the 1830s, this extraordinary necklace pairs vivid blue glass roundels with undulating ribbons of brilliant paste stones, accented by regal fleur-de-lis motifs. Bridging late Georgian romance and Regency grandeur, its dramatic silhouette is as striking today as it was nearly two centuries ago. Exceptional and complete with its original fitted period box.

Crafted in Italy in the early 19th century, these four-tier drop earrings are a beautiful example of Regency-era goldsmithing. Tiny seed pearls are meticulously hand-sewn into delicate 18k gold filigree, with fully articulated tiers that cascade with movement while remaining remarkably light on the ear. Preserved with their original 18k gold earwires, they are a rare surviving example of the intricate wirework and pearl craftsmanship for which Italian jewelers of the period were celebrated.

Popular in the late 19th century, bloomed gold was prized for its rich, buttery color and distinctive matte finish. Achieved through a process of acid-treating the surface of gold to reveal a layer of nearly pure yellow gold, the technique gave Victorian jewelry its unmistakable warmth. These Victorian Revival Ball & Chain Earrings feature sculptural 14k gold domes connected by delicate belcher chains, creating subtle movement and a striking silhouette. A beautiful example of the archaeological revival style that captivated Victorian jewelers, and a reminder of how historical techniques continue to feel remarkably modern.

Dating to the 18th century, these double-drop earrings feature richly colored green paste stones, each backed with metallic foil to reflect light and create an emerald-like glow. Set in finely crimped gold collets, the design pairs a stationary oval with a single articulated drop, allowing just enough movement to catch the light. A beautiful example of how Georgian jewelers used foiling, color, and subtle movement to create extraordinary effects, even on the smallest scale.

In the 18th century, jeweled bows evolved from the ribbons once used to secure ornaments to a woman’s bodice, becoming symbols of intimacy, affection, and courtly elegance. This Georgian example features hand-cut clear paste stones set in silver, each backed with metallic foil to amplify its brilliance under candlelight. Far from simply imitating diamonds, paste was a celebrated art form in its own right, prized for its remarkable sparkle and the craftsmanship required to achieve it. Turn the brooch over and you’ll find a beautifully patterned metal backing, designed to protect the delicate foil within. A small detail that speaks to the extraordinary care of 18th-century jewelers.

A little movement, a lot of history. These Victorian kinetic drop earrings take turquoise to new heights, with four concentric gold hoops that swing freely from delicate floral surmounts. Crafted in 14k gold, their unusual construction creates a playful, almost planetary arrangement of turquoise cabochons that seems to float with every movement. Discover this one-of-a-kind pair from our Antique Collection. Background:Étienne Léopold Trouvelot, Part of the Milky Way, 1882 by @larkspurandhawk

A study in Georgian ring-making, where every detail was considered. Two extraordinary 18th-century rings, each with its own approach to making a statement. One features three bands of rose-cut diamonds set in patinated silver, coming together in a smooth gold shank. The other centers on a baroque pearl surrounded by a sunburst of rose-cut diamonds, with an openwork border of alternating pearls and diamonds. Look closely at the latter and you’ll find three diamond-set ribs extending down the shoulders, an elaborate detail that suggests the ring was originally intended for the index finger, where its intricate profile could be admired from every angle. Two very different expressions of Georgian craftsmanship, both just as captivating centuries later. Discover both in Antiques Vol II. by @larkspurandhawk
