A good 18ct75% pure gold (or 750 parts pure gold and 250 parts other metals) gold locket made by Edwin William Streeter. Streeter set up business in 1867 in Conduit Street. He then moved in 1873 to New Bond Street where he described himself as ‘DiamondA precious, lustrous gemstone made of highly compressed carbon. Diamonds are one of the hardest materials known to mankind. Colours of diamonds range from colourless, yellow, orange and brown to almost black. Natural coloured (or ‘fancy’) diamonds can be extremely rare. The cut, colour, clarity and carat weight of a diamond are the criteria jewellers use... More merchant, Goldsmith, Jeweller, Watchmaker’. He took a particular interest in precious stones. Although he announced his retirement in 1884 and sold off much of his stock, he did not retire but admitted partners into his business which was now restyled Streeter & Co and became a limited liability company in 1895 as Streeter & Co Ltd. By 1904 E W Streeter finally retired. This locket was made circa 1880 and has a lucky horseshoe on the front set with turquoiseTurquoise is an opaque gem and is often formed in what is called matrix, a black or brown veining derived from the host rock in which the gem forms. In fine jewellery, unblemished sky blue turquoise is the ideal, although regularly patterned matrix turquoise is also sought-after. to mean “Forget me not” after the flower of the same name.

There was no pressure to buy, but after a leisurely afternoon trying on gorgeous rings, I found the one. It's not just a ring, it's a memory of a really special day.
— Susie Ashfield
Amazing company, friendly and helpful staff, they’ve helped me chose the most beautiful gifts. I cannot recommend them enough.

— Beverley Harris
Best antique jewellers in London. So helpful, honest and friendly. And have amazing stock!
— Toby Wafta
I live in the United States, and working with the AJC was easier than going into a store here! They were easily accessible and we even did a video Skype session for additional looks. They had the ring sized and out and shipped to the USA by the next day. Simply an amazing customer experience!

Excellent quality and exceptional service as ever.

Excellent service with personal attention to detail and the item fully matching the description and photograph. This is the first place I will go to for future purchases of fine antique jewellery.
— Richard Adams
A remarkable experience with this company. If one can say that at every stage one was treated chivalrously - then, yes, I was. Stunning piece of jewellery only eclipsed by the sensitive understanding of Olly Gerrish.
— Ruth Westbrook

— Mary Martina
Always wonderful to work with. Piece was even beyond expectation! I will be back for more wonderful items!!
— Lisa Shuler
Olly and Matt were great resources when trying to make important decision from abroad and twice were willing to have Skype meetings to show me some rings. I purchased my wife's engagement ring, then subsequently my own wedding band from Olly. Both were absolutely spectacular and absolutely perfect - exactly what we wanted. I plan on stopping by each time I visit London.
— Mark Robinson, Seattle
Great website, great selection, London based, excellent & quick customer service. Brilliant little family operation! 10/10
— Tom Mccaughan
I had a thoroughly enjoyable experience. A family business in a great new location, flooded with natural light. The family are clearly passionate about their business and create an informal, yet extremely helpful service.
— Mark Stevens
A great place with unique jewellery. For those with sublime tastes and appreciation for antique pieces. Their collection is impressive, and as it is a family-owned business you will not be left alone if a post-purchase help is needed. Great experience, much recommended!
— Paulina Lenik
Thrilled with my new 1920's Art Deco ring to celebrate my 30th Birthday. An absolute pleasure to be looked after at such short notice. The family run business displays such care and attention to detail. Their knowledge far outweighs any other antique jeweller I have experienced. A must visit (By appointment only) for the antique jewellery obsessed! <3
— Rebecca Sutton
Unlike most jewellers I have visited in the high street, AJC is very different and I felt immediately at home and under no pressure to buy or to make a decision and move on. I cannot recommend AJC highly enough and wish them all the very best. Importantly, I am very happy indeed with the antique signet ring I bought too. Thanks guys.
— Stuart Conlan
I live in Canada and was initially quite concerned at the prospect of buying jewellery online. However I could not be happier with my purchase and the speed in which I received my item. Could not say enough good things about the ring I purchased .Thank you.
