Of particular note are some rare and exquisite Stuart period (16031714) memento mori hairwork pieces, including a brooch and a ring, tangible links to history that remain as evocative today as when they were first created.

For those drawn to the glamour of the early 20th century, there's a sparkling array of Art Deco jewellery of both Polish and Russian origin, alongside beautiful examples of Victorian craftsmanship: brooches, necklaces, earrings and the ever-fascinating and popular ‘Grand Tour’ mosaic jewellery.
