£3000 - C18th reversable pendant, central shell cameo in a pierced yellow metal mount set with turquoise & drop pearls with enamel decoration verso.

Frozen Assets - Over a £100,000 of Renaissance era jewellry found under a frozen joint of lamb in a run down chalet bungalow is coming up for auction.

Amazed auctioneers found the hidden gems in the ramshakle hoarders freezer near Uffington in Wiltshire - where the canny late owner had gone to great lengths to protect her precious haul.

However, the hidden stash wasn't the result of a bank heist but belonged to an eccentric collector who amassed the items in the 1960s - and kept the receipts to prove it.

She passed away recently and her family brought in experts to hunt out relics they knew their relative had hidden away over the years.
