20 Antique Jewellery Items Return To Birmingham To Be Sold

A number of antique jewellery items which were made and hallmarked in Birmingham will be sold by the city's auctioneer Fellows & Sons.
 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release)Oct 11, 2007 – Twenty antique jewellery items which were made and hallmarked in Birmingham will be returning to the city to be sold later this month.

The unrelated items are among 970 lots at an antique and modern jewellery auction at Fellows & Sons, on Thursday 18th October at 10.30am: http://www.fellows.co.uk/Departments/Jewellery.asp

The auctioneer is based in the Jewellery Quarter of Birmingham, UK. You can see its website at http://www.fellows.co.uk.

Managing partner Stephen Whittaker said: “Birmingham has a rich history of both antique and modern jewellery; hence the fact the Jewellery Quarter even exists.

“It’s very exciting for my team of experts to discover a Birmingham hallmark on a piece of antique jewellery. That means it was probably made within a few miles of where they work, and gives them a real sense of the history and location of the pieces.”

Some of the items for sale include:


• An Edwardian 9 carat gold heart shape pendant with overlaid floral design detail and a sapphire set flower. It’s hallmarked Birmingham 1904, and is expected to fetch between £130 and £200

• A Victorian 9 carat gold double row curb link bracelet, with partial inter-spaced textured links to the one row, and a padlock. It is hallmarked Birmingham 1900, and is valued at £80 to £120.
   
• An Edwardian 9 carat gold bloodstone signet ring, with a central shield shape bloodstone panel. The hallmark is Birmingham 1901 and it’s valued at between £50 and £100

The items may all be for sale in their home city, but they could be bought by people all over the world.

Fellows & Sons has invested heavily in virtual catalogues online, and technology to allow global buyers to monitor sales and make bids over the internet.
