Shop Antique Animal Jewellery – Welcome to Venus' Animal Kingdom
Discover Parkin & Gerrish’s collection of Antique & Vintage Animal Jewellery, where craftsmanship meets character and every creature tells a story. Welcome to Venus' Animal Kingdom – a curated selection of charming, collectable and symbolic animal-themed pieces from the Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian and Art Deco eras.
From fox brooches and racing horse pins to butterfly lockets and serpent rings, our animal jewellery reflects the enduring bond between humans and the natural world. It’s estimated that Earth is home to over 8.7 million species, so it’s no wonder that animal motifs have remained one of the most loved and meaningful themes in jewellery for centuries.
Why Do We Love Antique Animal Jewellery?
Whether it’s your spirit animal, a beloved pet, or a symbol of passion or sport, animal-themed jewellery expresses a unique story. Historically, animals have been tied to mythology, power, love, and identity. In Ancient Greece and Rome, many animals were linked to the gods and goddesses; throughout time, they’ve been worn as amulets, crests, and mascots — or simply as tokens of affection and admiration.
A fish stick pin, for example, could represent a love of fishing, a favourite meal (salmon, anyone?), or even a namesake. A fox brooch might speak to country life, fox hunting traditions, or simply a love of British wildlife. The meanings are endless, and that’s the true beauty of antique jewellery — it invites conversation, connection, and curiosity.

🕰 Engagement Rings by Era
Georgian & Regency (1714–1830)
Secret inscriptions, acrostic messages, and early rose-cut diamonds — full of mystery and sentiment.
Victorian (1837–1901)
Romantic symbols like snakes (eternal love), gypsy settings, and forget-me-nots. Often rich with meaning and handcrafted detail.
Edwardian (1901–1915)
Refined and feminine. Expect millegrain platinum settings with delicate diamonds and pearls.
Art Deco (1920s–1930s)
Bold, geometric, and sophisticated. Calibre-cut gemstones, target rings, and architectural symmetry reign supreme.
Mid-Century (1940s–1960s)
Glamour and grandeur. Post-war optimism brought on statement rings and large central stones.
