Smiths Braille watch

New to our collection is a very rare Smiths Braille watch. The front opens to allow the hour markers and hands to be felt with the fingers. The hour markers are not actually braille, they are just dots with double dots marking the 12, 3, 6 and 9. In full working order this would make a great addition to a Smiths watch collection.

Jewelry jewellery ??

Please note I am now spelling Jewellery the British way, apparently although still correct "jewelry" is the American way of spelling. I have revised all listings now and stand corrected!
Our latest line of jewellery is sterling silver filigree earrings and pendants, all hallmarked with 925.
These are in the shape of a heart and really are very pretty. The earrings match the smaller heart pendant but all are sold seperately.

CHARM BRACELETS

Charms and charm bracelets

Charms are one of the oldest forms of jewelry to be worn by man. They probably started out as amulets for good luck or to ward off bad luck or spirits. The earliest ones would have been made of natural found materials such as shells, feathers, seeds, horn and bones. As time progressed they started to be made out of materials that could be sculpted such as clay, stone, gems, rock and later metal.Fish charms were worn by early Christians as a secret symbol of their faith, Acorns were used by witches as an identifying charm and Jews worn tiny pieces of jewish law or prayer inside an amulet.Actual charm bracelets were first worn by the ancient Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, and Hittites and began appearing from 600 – 400 BC.Queen Victorias love of charm bracelets made thems into a popular fashion accesory। After the death of Prince Albert she popularised mourning charms made using hair of the deceased, carved in black jet or with a miniature portrait of the departed sole.
The European charm bracelet as we know it today is a fairly thick snake chain style bracelet with interchangeable beads and charms that can be made of any material such as glass, china, silver or wood. These come in every conceivable colour and shape and are highly collectable.

Timex watches

The Timex Camper is a new watch baseed on a 1918 design that was given to WW1 soldiers (this was the style of watch that made watch wearing for men the In Thing, up till then men had used pocket watches and only ladies wore a wrist watch). The slim design, tough resin case and mineral glass make it a very tough and durable watch. It comes on a strong nylon strap reminiscent of the original canvas strap.

A great piece of history in a modern wristwatch.
