$44 USDVintage 1950's CORO Demi Parure of Red Thermoplastic in Gold Tone Setting
Jewelry:Vintage:Sets
Here is a pretty woven-look gold-tone setting with smooth red harlequin-diamond shaped thermoplastic set in to an awesome link bracelet and short choker necklace by CORO! This vintage set is in outstanding condition, and makes a terrific Christmas or Valentine's Day present to that special retro someone on your list (or yourself!).

$75 USDVintage 29 Strand Indian Bead Bib Necklace
Jewelry:Vintage:Ethnic, Tribal
Here is drama in a necklace! 29 strands of teeny (average of 1/16") glass beads of milky white, high gloss black and clear translucent royal blue. There are also a very few turquoise toned beads, and a few clear red ones for a bit of pzazz as well! This has three silver spacer bars with silver and black 1/8" round beads that keep the strands from tangling and add even MORE drama! The ends are captured in spring-like tapered coils, and a hook and circle is the clasp. From the center back to the ...
$22 USDVintage 1960s Huge Flower Power Pin in Lilac & Bright Pink
Jewelry:Vintage:Pins/Brooches
Terrific super bright colors of shocking pink and wild orchid combine in a dramatic zinnia style floral pin. Measures an enormous 3 and 1/8" (nearly 8 cm) across so adds a real visual punch on your lapel, a purse, a hat, or on a scarf; we've seen these attached to hair bands, too, but you have to be careful or it can get tangled in your hair. Fabulous pin, terrific condition with minor wear evident on the backside. Latches securely, ready to wear! Traditionally considered spring or summer colors ...
$45 USDVintage 925 Sterling Silver Filigree Band Ring with Dark Red Setting
Jewelry:Vintage:Ring
This looks like silver that we used to import from Celuk on the Island of Bali...the curlicue design surrounding the center mount with dark red setting (although often these were garnets, this may be red glass, instead) and the tiny dot design above and below the set indicate possible origins from Indonesia (late 1980s). This is stamped 925 on the inside. The design lines actually feature a triple band look to the back (5/16" wide), tapering slightly out (7/16" wide) to a rounded, almost dome ...
$20 USDVintage Single Strand Autumn Toned Beaded Choker Necklace
Jewelry:Vintage:Necklaces
Cozy shades of persimmon, russet, ochre, raw umber and sepia in lightweight easy-to-wear mottled marble-look plastic beads. This is 14" from loop of the hook to the end of the tail of this choker length necklace. This is beaded on string, but the tails are linked, looped metal. The largest beads are 11/16" across, the smallest are 5/16" across. No makers marks, no logos. Just a great combination of colors and chunky beads for a fabulous autumn accessory!
$50 USDVintage 925 Sterling Silver Irish Claddagh Friendship Ring with Black Heart Setting 7.5
Jewelry:Vintage:Ring
Known in Ireland as fáinne Chladach, this is a traditional Irish ring given in friendship or worn as a wedding ring. The design and customs associated with it originate in the Irish fishing village of Claddagh, located just outside the old walls of the city of Galway. The ring was first produced in the 17th century during the reign of Queen Mary II, though elements of the design are much older. (Thanks to Wikipedia for their background information.) This is a size 7.5. It is marked 925 (sterling ...

The large ovals (which also happen to be translucent when held up to light!) and faceted beads are plastic ...
$85 USDDramatic Silver Toned Vintage Metal Choker Necklace
Jewelry:Vintage:Necklaces
We have this amazing unsigned silver toned necklace: it lays beautifully along a neckline (these were sometimes referred to as Cleopatra collars) particularly dramatic on sun-bronzed skin! It is reminiscent of, and very well may have been inspired by the uber popular Renoir "Peter Pan" choker necklace of the 1940s: similar linkage, lays flat against the body. Shimmers in the light ~ We would estimate this to be from the late 1960s to early 1970s when silver was becoming a more popular metal for ...
$85 USDVintage Gold Tone Promise Ring with Amethyst Setting
Jewelry:Vintage:Ring
Here is a sweet gold toned tapered band ring with hearts on either side of the set. It has a 3/16" high 6-prong setting with a very light purple amethyst quartz with a pretty round cut crown and pointed pavilion set which sparkles like crazy! This sits at 9.25 on our ring sizer. And it sure feels like gold.(it may well be... but we do not have a tester) This is not new, it has been worn enough so that the band is quite thin. It is, in fact, 1/16" thick at the bottom of the setting; across the ...
$54 USDVintage Cherry Tomato Red Bakelite Bangle Bracelet
Jewelry:Vintage:Bracelets:Bakelite
Simple and classic bangle bracelet of red bakelite. It is 1/2" wide, and 3/16" deep, so it is 2 and 9/16" across from inside to inside, and 2 and 15/16" from outside to outside. We have heard this called tomato red, and cherry red, it certainly is a red-red. It does have that warm translucent glow when held up to light (we tried to photograph it in various lights/backgrounds to show that, but it is difficult to capture). Great collectible, timeless style in a bracelet! Makes a terrific gift for ...
$50 USDCool Vintage Surfer Ring Sterling Silver 925 Cross in a Key
Jewelry:Vintage:Ring
Excellent graphic ring with dramatic tapered shape. At only 1/8" wide at the back, it swoops out to a 9/16" wide face. When we first glanced at this, we thought it was a classic Ankh ring, but looking a bit closer noticed it is actually a cross with IN a key shape; it's been said this refers to Jesus is the key, or Christianity is the key. Cool ring. Great shape. Sterling silver 925 marked on the inside. Measures 9.5 on our ring rod; perfect for an index finger ring ~ makes an EXCELLENT gift ~
$30 USDFabulous Smoke & Clear Rhinestone Earrings
Jewelry:Vintage:Earrings
Here is a glittery pair of vintage clip on earrings made up of eight whisper gray 3/16" cut rhinestones around eight clear cut 1/8" rhinestones which surround an enormous 3/8" hex cut smokey rhinestone center! These are well made, (very reminiscent of Juliana styling; who, by the way did not mark their creations) with the exterior rhinestones being 8-prong set, the clears are 4-prong set, and the centers have FOURTEEN prongs (EACH) secure-ing them in place! The backs are in like-new condition, ...

Jewelry:Vintage:Pins/Brooches
This pin is DELIGHTFUL combination of clear and turquoise blue rhinestones set into a black and red painted base. It measures one and 9/16" from the bottom of her choker to the top of her rhinestone hat, and 1.25" from one corner of her pointy pagoda umbrella hat to the other! She has almond eyes and a rhinestone set mouth; her ears have earring holes in them; there are no rhinestones set there, but we suppose if you wanted to add some, you certainly could. This has a securely closing "c" clasp ...
$37 USDSweet Floral Locket Heart Pin Stick Lapel
Jewelry:Vintage:Pins/Brooches
Here is an art nouveau era heart locket lapel pin topped with a sweet 5 petaled flower with curls around the top, feathered edges and more swirls toward the tip of the heart. There is a hint of red remaining on the center of the flower, and whispers of green on the swirls above and below both. The top heart opens to show the interior of the locket with two facing heart shaped frames measuring 5/16" across at their widest, and 1/4" from the dip to the tip. There is a tiny (1/16") wedge that holds ...
$71 USDSweet Vintage Dress Clip with Faux Pearls & Enamel Flowers
Jewelry:Vintage:Vintage Dress Clip
Here is a lovely dress clip estimated to be from the late 1800's/early 1900's. It measures 2 1/4" by 1 5/8"; it is nearly 1/2" deep. This pretty combination of 12 faux pearls set amid hand-painted enamel flowers in light blue, frosty pink, white and mint green is absolutely charming and is in wonderful condition; the clip moves firmly and secures perfectly.

$146 USDHuge Vintage Handwrought by Wendt Sterling Agate Pendant
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
This lovely triangular shaped sterling silver pendant is from a consignor that acquired it in the 1970's. It is about 1.5" at its widest, about 2 and 1/8" from top to bottom with an attached 1/4" wide loop (which adds an additional 3/8" in length) at the top. It is about 5/16" deep. The back has a logo marked "Sterling" and "Handwrought by Wendt", with Wendt being inside a triangular shape. We were told this was a brown turquoise, however we have found that would often mean it is actually ...
$37 USDItalian Venetian Mosaic Pin
Jewelry:Vintage:Pins/Brooches
This is my favorite of the mosaics that we just acquired. Stamped on the back simply "ITALY", this has an amazing combination of color, shapes and materials. Tiny skinny tubes of white with black lines are in the corners, millefiori pieces dot the sides and are set into tiny bits of twisted rope motif metal. A fabulous collectible, outstanding worn alone, or grouped with other fun mosaics. Measures about one and 3/8" across by about one and 1/16" high.
$113 USDUnique Vintage Pair of Handpainted Figural Lady Earrings
Jewelry:Vintage:Earrings
This is an interesting pair of hand-painted earrings that we acquired from an antique dealer back in the early 70's. They are stamped "Sterling" on the tips of each of the screw backs, however, the sterling stamps are different, as one just says S T E R L I N G around the tip, while the other says STERLING twice around the tip. Also, the poses of the ladies on the earrings are different. One is standing with her arms crossed (pink skirt, yellow overskirt, tan deep-cut square neckline & bodice ...

$21 USDInteresting Bow with Laurel, Star, Crown & Sceptre Vintage Dangle Pin
Jewelry:Vintage:Pins/Brooches
It seems to me, that the story of this was that it belonged to a woman who was from a well to do family, and even though she didn't NEED to work, was a teacher. She loved children, she loved to help others, she loved to travel, and she loved jewelry. She had quite a collection...some exquisite, some much more simple, but each piece that she had struck her fancy in some such way, so that she would keep it, and one day share it with another. This piece was one of hers. One family member said they ...
$42 USDVintage Elegant Gold Tone Bar Pin

The hinge works perfectly and is secure when hooked. Nice box fret work with curlique end designs. Weighs .1 oz. As always, we provide free shipping & insurance for our jewelry.
$25 USDVintage Deco Era Renoir Copper Leaf Pin
Jewelry:Vintage:Pins/Brooches
We love vintage copper jewelry, and were thrilled to find this wonderful Renoir vintage leaf pin, although it is unsigned. (The vendor we purchased it from had it marked Renoir on his sales tag, although we realize it may not be accurate; then we found another exact same leaf pin as a part of a SET that WAS marked Renoir on the earrings.) And now, we have just received the following email: "This pin is actually made by a company called Rame. I have the matching pieces that are signed. Julie" We ...
