Bonhams

I am exited to be heading back to Bonhams on Sunday working the Jewellery and Silver sale, (it's on Wednesday 8th June)! I work with a great bunch of girls and we always have the best time being surrounded by jewels and gems in all shapes and sizes, naturally. 

In this sale there looks to be some amazing pieces.

This is a beautiful seed pearl and diamond swallow brooch, circa 1900. It show five swallows each at different stages in flight graduating in size. Each one is set with half-pearls to a single or round brilliant-cut diamond head.

This gorgeous necklace caught my eye because of the unusual multi gem-set pendant suspended from a beautiful ropetwist chain. The gemstones included are, in the centre sits a pink topaz within a surround of aquamarine, emerald and garnet such a beautiful combination. This piece dates from the 19th Century.

I love peacock feathers I was so excited when I saw this (mainly because the VRAT logo is a gold peacock feather) maybe it's a sign that I should purchase it..? 
This dates from the 1960s, it's realistically modelled and the eye of the feather is a cushion cut sapphire. Absolutely love this!

Love
