Product Details
Description
A charming Victorian propelling pencil crafted in warm 8ct rose gold, showcasing a beautifully engraved faceted barrel decorated with hand-cut foliate motifs. The pencil is enhanced with contrasting yellow gold collars, including an ornate floral engraved slider which operates the propelling mechanism, while a suspension loop beneath the terminal allowed it to be worn from a gentleman’s watch chain or chatelaine.
The decorative terminal is richly embossed with scrolling repoussé detail and finished with an oval mixed-cut amethyst, bezel set within a finely decorated mount. The vibrant purple gemstone provides an elegant focal point, complementing the warm tones of the gold and adding a refined touch to this practical Victorian accessory.
The propelling mechanism remains functional, although the original lead has been worn down and will require replacing before use. Combining decorative craftsmanship with everyday utility, this finely detailed antique propelling pencil is a wonderful example of Victorian ingenuity and design, equally suited to a writing collection or as a distinctive wearable antique accessory.

The ring I ordered is even more beautiful than in the photos. Fast and smooth delivery; customs fees may apply if you order from outside the UK. This piece will now be a part of my everyday life, and I will definitely order again!

Great watch, very happy.

Bought a lovely ring but unfortunately my hands are so chunky it wasn’t right for me. There was no problem returning it with a full refund. I will keep looking to find my perfect piece of jewellery. I highly recommend this jeweller.

I am SO beyond happy with my experience purchasing from Don Laurence. My ring is absolutely gorgeous and arrived even more beautiful than the photos. Incredible quality for the price. I live in the US and shipping was quick and easy. Ring arrived less than two weeks after placing my order. Highly recommend and will absolutely buy more in the future (already hunting for a matching band!)

I’m over the moon with my purchase of a gorgeous ladies Jaeger le Coultre Duetto watch, in great condition, as shown in detailed photographs. I really appreciated all the comprehensive information about it, which helped me make my decision to buy it. It arrived in 2 days, securely packaged and tracked. Highly recommend this shop and their customer service. Excellent.
