It is good that you collect thing you like and want to use them. Too many people collect things which sit in a box, never to see the light of day. The last ring shouts quality.
I love all of them; they are just gorgeous! I don't think you need to sell if you buy another at all. I think your collection is beautiful and has plenty of growing room. xoxo's Sandie😊
Re antique or ancient jewellery - I remember seeing some plates and spoons from Roman times in the British museum - also necklaces and earrings, and I remember thinking that absolutely none of those objects would look out of place if used today for dinner, or the jewellery was worn out in the evening. It still looked fairly avant-garde, and in particular the earrings and necklaces looked elegant and understated - could have matched all sorts of different clothing.
First of all, I think you have excellent taste! Personally I think my favourite of your collection would have to be The Ring, I can see why you were obsessed with it. The only ring I wear regularly is a Nouveau-style piercework silver one that's a kind of symmetric floral design. Anyway I'm really glad you decided to make this video - it's a subject I'm interested in too, so I hope you'll do some more videos about antiques etc.
Beautiful collection! I am crazy about antique jewelry as well and the Victorian era is one of my fave eras. There are so many beautiful designs. I love Georgian as well. The top that you're wearing in this video is so pretty, goes perfectly with your hair color.
Hi Jen, your box is South American Rosewood. Very nice one. Great video of your jewelery. Also greatly agree re architecture. I live in Auckland and often study and admire Victorian architecture of buildings, both commercial/ residential.
I’m a huge sap/romantic. I knew for my engagement ring, we were on a budget and that I wanted something romantic, sweet and unique. I don’t ever have time to shop in person with children, so I thought I’d check Etsy. I was surprised at how many sellers there were selling antique/vintage jewelry! I’m so glad I checked too. Saved me loads of stress, time and trouble! I have short and pudgy fingers. I’m a size 9. It’s not an easy size to find unless I’m willing to go out of my budget to pay for resizing. Any who. I had also just finished the latest season of Bridgerton, and was inspired by the ring Anthony gave to Kate with the sweet pearls! 🤣😂 I’ve also always loved pearls! I think they’re timeless and romantic! Unfortunately I could not find one in my size, BUT I did find a SWEET and dainty uncommon belcher ring! It was an antique 14k gold setting with a modern champagne stone! I’m so in love and feel like it was meant to be!! It also helps when some shops accept monthly payments! I am on the hunt still for a seed pearl and ruby or garnet ring! Loved this video!! I also have had my eye on an art deco star ring, and FINALLY found one today for a decent price in my size! Had to treat myself as an early birthday gift! TBH, since I’ve found my engagement ring, I think I might just have to start a collection as well. ☺️😍
You can put those rings on the fingers they fit. So no need to resize. All the rings look dainty and beautiful but the one that you call “ The RING “ is my favorite too.
Lovely lovely lovely! Wear your antique jewelry all the time. A lesson I learned later in life. Meant to be enjoyed. At worst you may damage (& repair) or lose a piece - but rings should be worn……. 🥰
I’m 60… about every 7-10 years many, not all, but a lot of people change their interests. I didn’t fall in love with antiques until I was about 25. I have a collection of antique jewelry, kitchen gadgets, I love love my old cast iron pots! I feel sad when people change things I love, but dang it freedom and free will grrrrrrrr 😂😂😂
OMG the last one is INSANE! 🤯 One of the most beautiful rings I've seen, and that comes from a person who doesn't even like pearls 😅 All the other rings are also really lovely ✨ I enjoyed the first part of the video too, I wasn't familiar with your content or channel yet, but the video turned out great and I feel you about the passion for antiques and old houses with 'character' 💕 It's really sad when they get totally re-made over time 🙁 Спасибо за видео~ 🤍
Wait a second: you're married? Congratulations! If you do get the money to save Victorian houses you should get in touch with the National Trust, whose job it is to preserve historical buildings, monuments and sites. Re: the rings - pearls get brighter the more they're worn, presumably because they react to body heat. (See Carol Ann Duffy's poem "Warming Her Pearls".)
Not a huge fan of Victorian Architecture and jewellery, more into Georgian and Regency as not as fussy, also like Art Deco. I loved my Grandmothers 1921 house, an example of the late Arts and Craft mixed with very early Art Deco, including the early 20's massive still working in the 60's fridge, very noisy though. It probably cost almost as much as the house did in 1921! The house was bought off plan and didn't include the cost of building the road to adopted standard. The reason that there are many unadopted roads in England, mainly Cul de Sac's, until the road building cost had to be included in the house price by the developers/builders and split equally between the houses.
It's good to have an interest or passion.......I was convinced i needed a Leica camera and lens....after many failed bids, i bought a Whippet instead......i made the right choice. A former co worker collected German magazines from the 1930's onward.Recording the change in society,from the ads to clothes and everyday life running up to the war years.When he died two years ago,his wife threw them down the tip.......she couldn't read German,just the dust they were covered in.
I love you cut steel bracelet it's almost Georgian looking I have an unusual ring mint condition that some auction houses woul like for their auctions Don't really want to sell but only fits little finger afraid it might slip off it is dated 1st year Victoria's reiign with her hair in a high bun4cabachon amethysts dark purple grey pearls 1rose cut diamond very interesting
I am so sorry your history lessons weren’t very inspiring. I had the opposite experience with my history teacher and she showed us that history is so much more than just dates. Thanks for showing us your beautiful collection.
I have been trying to work out a value on a white gold 15 carat and it has a black stone and about 1/2 a carat stone in the top. It also reads like this in the hallmark. A 15 CT. COULD any one guide me? Should I take it to a jeweller
@@JenDre I’d imagine since Germany by then was still of bunch of smaller kingdoms and principles and dukedoms at the time (Victoria being from one) there isn’t an equivalent?
Just saved in my wishlist your shop because i love victorian jewlery ! and i really like your blouse , where did you find it? it's really pretty. Have a nice weekend. Cuddles to Tate. Xx
If you want to narrow down the history of your house you can check the census and the National Library of Scotland has a huge collection of historical maps including all of the Ordnance Survey maps.
@@charlestaylor3027 I was talking of the Land Registry in England that hold the records of all property in Engand. They have the full details of the plot, buildings and all ownership transfers back to when built or the records first existence. As Jen lives in England Scottish records would not be of assistance.
I love all of them; they are just gorgeous! I don't think you need to sell if you buy another at all. I think your collection is beautiful and has plenty of growing room. xoxo's Sandie😊
All of your rings are lovely! I am a huge fan of antique jewelry too. You’ve done a great job of collecting.
Nice collection.
I have a necklace that's from the late 1800s to the early 1900s.
Antique jewelry is lovely.😊
You are so lucky to have had your Gran to tell you stories. I was also lucky to be with my grandparents on both sides. Best part of my life!
It is good that you collect thing you like and want to use them. Too many people collect things which sit in a box, never to see the light of day. The last ring shouts quality.
Beautiful collection you have. I am also fascinated by Victorian jewelry. Thank you for sharing. ❤😊

Love all ur rings and love the storys
We live in a 1895 Victorian semi and it saddens me when people rip out all the finishes. We have intact roses, cornices and Minton tiles
Wooow so pretty!
I love you cut steel bracelet it's almost Georgian looking
I have an unusual ring mint condition that some auction houses woul like for their auctions Don't really want to sell but only fits little finger afraid it might slip off it is dated 1st year Victoria's reiign with her hair in a high bun4cabachon amethysts dark purple grey pearls 1rose cut diamond very interesting
Love this video

Hi, what auction sites do you use please ?x
I have been trying to work out a value on a white gold 15 carat and it has a black stone and about 1/2 a carat stone in the top. It also reads like this in the hallmark. A 15 CT. COULD any one guide me? Should I take it to a jeweller
They stopped making 15 gold carat in 1931 and it begun in about the mid 1800's I think.
Do they use the terms "Victorian" and "Edwardian" in Germany? Presumably they are only make sense in Britain.
They use it in the USA often too. In Germany they usually use Victorian more loosely as they like to be more specific in general. But yeah we use it
@@JenDre I’d imagine since Germany by then was still of bunch of smaller kingdoms and principles and dukedoms at the time (Victoria being from one) there isn’t an equivalent?
Victorian in Britain, Biedermeier in Germany
Yes hello I asking about your rings are u still on RUclips
So you like to film a new house tour? I would like to see how everything looks after you renovated it 🙈
Ohhh no we are hardly done hahha still a construction site in several rooms
What auction sites do you visit?
Heirlooms how wonderful
Just saved in my wishlist your shop because i love victorian jewlery ! and i really like your blouse , where did you find it? it's really pretty. Have a nice weekend. Cuddles to Tate. Xx

Have you checked out buying a house in Italy? You want a cool,old house cheap look it up.
If you want to narrow down the history of your house you can check the census and the National Library of Scotland has a huge collection of historical maps including all of the Ordnance Survey maps.
The Land Registry as well but they charge for certain information if it's not been digitised and a physical archive search is required.
@@tonys1636 The NLS is free.

When did you get married? Did I miss something?
You a little on the crazy side aren't you
