$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 ~
$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 ...
$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!). OR, it's great for all those red, white and blue holidays we have every summer (Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day) here in the USA! The Coro stamp is on the latch ...
$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 ...
$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 ...
$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 ...
$55 USDVintage 1960s Prong Set Aurora Borealis Rhinestone Princess Choker Necklace
Jewelry:Vintage:Necklaces
Just in time for the holidays ~ this super sparkle-y aurora borealis princess party necklace! This measures 15" from end to end; it has a hook closure, and it can slip through any of the sliding prong set rhinestones (spaced 1/4" on center). The front section is breath-taking with a triple shaped design element, the largest in the center, surrounded by twin drop sets on each side. There are 7 larger stones (5/16" across) while the rest are all 1/8" across. There are no makers marks on this, no ...
$45 USDVintage 1960s Triple Strand Smoky Grey & Pearlescent Champagne Choker Necklace & Earring Set
Jewelry:Vintage:Sets
This is an elegant demi parure combination of blushed pearl-finished ovals and translucent charcoal gray faceted beads with sweet arrow shaped black accent beads and tiny translucent amber spacer beads; perfect for a festive cocktail party, or holiday soire! This pretty set of choker necklace and clip on earrings is marked Germany on the hook of the necklace as well as on each earring back. The large ovals (which also happen to be translucent when held up to light!) and faceted beads are plastic ...
$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 ...
$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 ...
$30 USDVintage Coro Olive Green & Ivory Heart Leaf Shape Thermoplastic Bracelet
Jewelry:Vintage:Bracelets
Here is an excellent and highly collectible bracelet from the 1950s made by the quality designers at Coro. It is a combination of subtle tones of dark olive green and a soft ecru toned ivory thermoplastic that have been molded into little 5/8" heart-shaped scalloped-edged leaves. These are mounted onto gold tone settings with pretty triple lines with double cut-through sides for accents. The overall length is about seven and 3/4", and it clasps securely. This however is not perfect, as it does ...
$104 USDD & V Dewa Zuni Turquoise on Silver Bolo Base
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling:Dewa
Don Dewa began making jewelry in 1970, mostly small cluster pieces. About 1990, Don learned mosaic inlay from his mother-in-law, Lorretta Quam Eriacho, and has become an absolute master at mosaic and channel inlay, and has incorporated his trademark sunface "spinner" design in bracelets, rings, bolos and pendants. His work is published in many books on Zuni jewelry, Zuni - The Art and the People, Vol. 2, and Zuni: A Village of Silversmiths, University of New Mexico Press, to name a couple. This ...
$25 USDDelightful Vintage Ice Flower Rhinestone Earrings
Jewelry:Vintage:Earrings
These sweet flowery star shaped clear rhinestone vintage earrings measure ~9/16" across. They have sturdy yet comfortable screwback closures. Each earring has three 5/16" long marquise cut rhinestones interspersed with three 1/8" rounds; each is four-prong set. These are VERY nice on; dress up your jeans, or wear for your next special occasion (holiday parties are on their way!) or night out! They would make a great gift, too; we happily wrap and ship to third parties.
$30 USDVintage Coro Silver Tone Glamour Rock Rhinestone Drop Earrings
Jewelry:Vintage:Earrings
Here is a fabulous pair of Coro earrings of huge rhinestones (1/4" post and triple swings, the center drop is 5/16") ready to party! They are on a silver toned base, with very comfortable screw backs, and are in wonderful condition, with just a tiny bit of darkening near one stone (we're pricing very low, accordingly). They reflect the light beautifully and are perfect for your next big event, or to wear to your favorite lounge this weekend! These are 1/5" long, and 7/8" across the widest part ...
$21 USDDelicate Vintage Pale Pink Flower Earrings with Rhinestones
Jewelry:Vintage:Earrings
These are so precious! Pretty 5 petal flowers of baby pink thermoplastic with a rhinestone center and 4 more small rhinestones twirling around it with a swirl of gold! They are GORGEOUS on, very feminine, very fresh. These measure about 5/8" across by one and 1/4" high. They are not marked or signed, but are very reminiscent of Lisner, Coro and other similar design companies of the 1940's & 1950's. Perfect for that fabulous trip to Paris in the spring, or for your maid of honor at your intimate ...
$22 USDVintage 1940s Sterling Silver Screwback Earrings with Turquoise Glass Settings
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
Here is a lovely pair of earrings from a consignor whose mother had these in the 1940s. They are sterling silver (see photo) base with a cabochon of turquoise set in the middle; the cab feels cool like glass, not amorphous like the stone, and close-up, it does look faux. The settings are tiny circles around the center, lending the look of flowers. These measure 5/8" across. Great collectibles in fabulous, very wearable condition.
$63 USDWonderful Vintage Yellow & Tan Beaded Primitive Chain Necklace
Jewelry:Vintage:Necklaces
Here's a wonderful necklace made of high gloss "tooth" beads (they feel like glass) in sunshine yellow and tan. It is a single strand necklace, and measures 46" long, so can be worn as a single long flapper look or doubled to add sophistication! Lovely piece; these "tooth" beads are getting harder to find, making it highly collectible.
$110 USDPretty Sparkly Turquoise Blue Set Vintage 1930s Screwback Earrings
Jewelry:Vintage:Earrings
This very pretty pair of earrings has beautifully faceted turquoise blue settings in what appear to be sterling silver bases, but they are not marked as such. The center is 1/4" across; the surrounding settings are 1/8" across each; there are 9 on each. The center is 8 prong set, while the outer ones are in a sawtooth edged setting with additional beads (of gold?) to stabilize it. Some women don't care much for screwbacks anymore, but I find them comfortable since they can be adjusted through ...
Jewelry:Vintage:Necklaces
This 2-strand choker necklace is in a fabulous fall palette of deep golden rod yellow with classic pearlized mink, muted pearl-finished orange, exquisite emerald green faceted glass beads and one our favorites, the clear double pyramid glass bead with milky swirls! Most of the faux barouque pearls have the flower ends on them; there are tiny brass toned spacers between each bead. The longer strand is 14", the shorter is 12". This has a single bead 3/4" tail for the 3/4" long Japan hook; the ...
$225 USDVintage Demi Parure Choker & Flower Earrings 2 Tone Brown Rhinestones
Jewelry:Vintage:Sets
Here is a gorgeous vintage demi parure with fabulous floral shaped earrings and an exquisite choker length necklace, estimated to be from the late 1940's to early 1950's. We believe these are Austrian crystals, in two shades of brown, they capture and reflect the light beautifully! The earrings have a daisy like shape, with 10 petals of marquis type cut stones in a 4 prong setting on each one (one of the 20 total petals has a chip on one end). The center is about 1/2" across and is almost a grey ...
$20 USDVintage 1950s Autumn Colors Brown Amber Gold Lampwork Glass Bead Earrings
Jewelry:Vintage:Earrings
We LOVE the warm color palette of fall tones on these sweet button earrings: rich amber gold with dark espresso swirls, deep auburn with black stripes & clear goldenrod beads all wired together with mink-toned pearl-finished beads. These domes measure 1 and 1/8" across and are about 1/2" deep. The bases are made in Japan, and are the brass toned heart shaped filigree that were so popular at that time. They do have some oxidation as you can see in the photos; we have them soaking in white vinegar ...
$37 USDExcellent Vintage Sterling Silver Agate Ethnic Earrings
Jewelry:Vintage:Earrings
Here is a charming pair of silver earrings with a marbled turquoise agate cabochon in a closed collet setting in each one. The earrings measure one and 1/8" from top to bottom and 3/4" across at their widest (across the fan at the bottom, and the oval at the top). There are some finely worked spokes in the fanned bottom, and there are dot accents between them, as well as surrounding the top oval. These are marked A I M (in the shape of a triangle, see photos) 925 on the back side of the upper ...
$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, ...
$385 USDFabulous Matte Gold Toned Domed Brooch Pin with Filigree Florets & Blue Stones
Jewelry:Vintage:Pins/Brooches
This is an amazing pin of beautifully scrolled and beaded filigree work, composed of five petal flowers, and paisley turned crests, with an almost Maltese cross look center work. This lovely pin measures two and 3/4" across, and has a 2.25" pin across the back with a securely closing "c" clasp, and a bit of a loop at the top, possibly at one time it was a hook of some sort to hang this as a pendant from a chain. And we haven't even mentioned the blue stones! The center stone is about 1/2" across ...
$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 ...
$26 USDFabulous Vintage Exotic Black Face Head Pin Brooch with Rhinestones
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 ...
$25 USDVintage Avon Perfume Sachet Pendant on a Chain Necklace
Jewelry:Vintage:Necklaces
These sachet necklaces were the rage in the late 60's/early 70's; this one is marked Avon on the lid of the sachet pot. It is a neat egg-shaped swirl design that is about 1.75" from the top of the loop to the bottom hinge, and a little over an inch wide; it is about 7/8" deep. The pot splits evenly, the sachet is in a shallow bowl on one side, the logo is on the other. This has a small ring that holds the pendant with the chain so it lies flat rather than twists when worn. The chain is nearly 24 ...
$40 USDVintage Amber Toned Copal Resin Drop Earrings
Jewelry:Vintage:Earrings
We love these little droplets of amber colored nuggets that each have a tiny silver toned stud drilled through them, and are attached first to a circle of silver and then linked to another, and then hang from a somewhat primitive looking triangular clip on post, dating these to the 1940s, or possibly earlier. These dangle about 1 and 3/4" long, and are about 1" across. The clips close comfortably and securely. Fabulous, fall-toned and ready to wear. ~~~
$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. The clip on the back is covered in a floral nouveau style design with a chalice in the center lending to the idea that perhaps this was ...
