Dedicated Buyers of Georgian Jewellery — All Periods, All Styles
Georgian jewellery — made during the reigns of Kings George I through George IV and William IV (1714–1837) — represents the earliest period of collectable antique jewellery. These pieces were handmade long before industrialisation, and every example is unique. Their rarity, craftsmanship and historical resonance make them among the most sought-after pieces in the antique jewellery market.
At Mozeris Fine Antiques, we are passionate collectors and expert buyers of all forms of Georgian jewellery: paste and foil-back pieces, rose-cut diamond rings in closed silver settings, cannetille gold parures, seed pearl mourning jewellery, and portrait miniature brooches. We pay prices that reflect the true collector market.
We offer free valuations at our Braintree, Essex showroom and our Mayfair, London office — always by private appointment. Call or email us with photos and we will respond the same day.

The Georgian Jewellery Periods
Understanding which period your piece is from helps identify its style and potential value
Early Georgian
Heavy, architectural gold pieces, baroque pearls, intricate stone settings. Influenced by Continental Baroque and Rococo styles. Exceptional rarity.
Mid Georgian
Neoclassical influences: cameos, intaglios, paste parures, foil-backed gem stones, portrait miniatures set in gold lockets and brooches.
Late Georgian / Regency
Cannetille gold filigree wirework, seed pearls, emeralds, topaz and amethyst in elaborate parures. Influenced by Napoleon and Classical Antiquity.
Late Regency / William IV
Transition to Victorian styles: larger gem stones, more elaborate settings, beginning of Romantic sentiment jewellery including hair and mourning pieces.
Georgian Jewellery We Actively Buy
All categories of Georgian jewellery purchased — signed and unsigned, damaged and perfect
Rose-Cut Diamond Rings
Old mine-cut and rose-cut diamonds in closed silver and gold settings, often with foil backing to enhance brilliance. The quintessential Georgian ring form, highly collectible.
Paste & Foil-Back Jewellery
Georgian paste jewellery (leaded glass simulating gems) set in silver with foil backing was made to the highest standards and is intensely collected today. We pay strong prices for intact examples.
Cannetille & Gold Parures
Regency-era cannetille gold filigree wirework parures — necklaces, earrings, brooches and bracelets in matching sets — are among the most decorative jewellery ever made.
Mourning & Memorial Jewellery
Black jet and glass mourning pieces, seed pearl memorial brooches, lockets containing hair, and portrait miniature lockets — sentimental Georgian pieces with extraordinary historical depth.
Portrait Miniatures
Watercolour portrait miniatures on ivory set in gold and pinchbeck lockets and brooches — Georgian society portraits which have significant value as both jewellery and works of art.
Cameos & Intaglios
Shell, hardstone and lava cameos in gold and pinchbeck frames, and intaglio gem seals in gold rings — Neoclassical pieces popular from the 1760s onward.
