Charles III, we have two pieces with a Royal theme and which have, by repute, connections with the Earls of Cork who owned Marston House, near Frome. These jewels include lot 162, a fabulous blue and white paste brooch, replicating the wedding gift given to Queen Victorian by Prince Albert in 1840 and a stunning paste hair ornament, lot 163, which could have been (or is a copy of a hair ornament) worn at a Viceregal Ball at Cork Castle, Dublin.

jewellery for the modern buyer. She is now embarking on the next step of her jewellery career by joining the team at Dore & Rees.

The sustainability side of buying preloved pieces is incredibly important to Phoebe.

She loves to see once cherished pieces go to new homes, where they can be appreciated and passed on to future generations, admired for long to come – heirlooms for the next generation.

Originally a theatrical costume maker, Phoebe has a talent for precision and detail, alongside a fascination with history.

Once you would have found her walking the high wire in the circus field, however these days her feet are firmly (and safely) on the ground.

Gemstones IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR BUYERS Historically many gemstones have been subjected to a variety of treatments to enhance their appearance. Certain enhancements, such as heating, are commonly used to improve colour or transparency in rubies and sapphires.

Emeralds are also frequently treated, usually with oils or resin, for the same purpose. Other methods, including staining, dyeing, coating or irradiation, may have been used on other gemstones including Jade and associated hardstone that may have been bleached (usually in acid), polymer/resin filled or dyed, or a combination of any of these treatments.

The international jewellery trade has generally accepted these methods.

Heat enhancement of colour is usually permanent, however, in some cases; this may have an impact on the durability of the gemstone. Gemstones that have been oiled may require re-oiling after a number of years in order to retain their optimum appearance.

It is, in suitable cases, Dore & Rees’s policy to obtain gemmological reports from internationally recognised gemmological laboratories describing certain gemstones sold by Dore & Rees. In the event that Dore & Rees have been given, or have obtained, reports for any lot in the sale these reports will be mentioned in the catalogue description.

However, it is not feasible for Dore & Rees to obtain a gemmological report for each gemstone offered for sale by Dore & Rees. If no report is published in the catalogue prospective buyers should assume that the gemstones may have been enhanced by some method. However, please note that there may not be consensus between different laboratories on the degrees or types of treatment for any particular gemstone. Prospective buyers should be aware that Dore & Rees’s pre-sale estimates assume that gemstones may have been subjected to such treatments.

ALL DIMENSIONS, WEIGHTS ARE APPROXIMATE.

DIAMOND GRADING TERMS Where printed in the catalogue, estimated diamond grades for colour and clarity are intended as guides for prospective buyers. Dore & Rees do not guarantee these estimated grades due to the limitations of mounts and settings.

A collection of jewellery by T & J Bragg was purchased by the authorities at the South Kensington Museum around 1871. The purpose of the purchase was to distinguish between imitation and inexpensive jewellery at the time, as 9 carat gold had become acceptable in jewellery design but many still associated the use of 9 carat gold with inferior jewellery produced in Birmingham which had been given the name ‘Brumagem’.

For T & J Bragg of Birmingham this was a turning point. They were ranked with London maker’s by ‘The Art Journal’, who said ‘their contribution should forever stamp out the notion that Birmingham produces only cheap and bad jewellery’ T & J Bragg were noted as exhibitors at the International Exhibition of 1862, and the International Health Exhibition of 1884. By 1916 the firm was absorbed into Fattorini & Sons of Bradford, Birmingham and London. £600-£800
