Jewelry:Vintage:Fine
You won't have to decide between the world's most precious gemstones with this wonderful 14K gold ring. That's because all four of them are set on this heavy gold ring--diamond, emerald, ruby and sapphire. With the exception of diamonds, the stones are cut en cabochon and bezel-set along the face of the ring. The oval-shaped stones are a good size: 5 mm tall by 4 mm across.

$75 USDElegant European 1920's Carnelian & Marcasite Silver Pendant
Jewelry:Vintage:Fine
If you like deep bold colours and tarnished silver, this beautiful pendant from Europe will satisfy on at least two counts. The beautiful carnelian stone is a dark orange-red tending to brown. The colour is quite uniform until you hold it to the light; it brings out a wonderful light orange glow around the outer edges. Despite the lack of banding, I'm guessing this is a natural stone, as I don't think (but I could be wrong) that enhancing techniques were around in the 1920's. The pretty stone ...

If your fingers are slightly larger, it can be re-sized, or wear it as a pinky ring. The ring is fully hallmarked inside but the stamps are so teeny-tiny, I can't capture it on camera. It looks ...
$150 USDSparkling 10K Gold 1 Carat Natural Aquamarine Earrings

$325 USDSensational 1920's Chinese Hand-Carved Amethyst Silver Wire Bracelet
Jewelry:Vintage:Fine
It's so easy to fall in love with vintage Chinese jewelry. I'm talking about the jewelry that was beautifully hand-made from silver wire and often painted in brightly coloured enamel, for about 30 years prior to the communist takeover of China in 1949. Filigree was the main style of metal, and the pieces were set with precious stones that were once used as buttons on clothing worn by members of the Imperial court, including jade, rose quartz, tourmaline, coral, turquoise and tiger's eye, to name ...

$155 USDWonderful Mexican Silver Orchid Pin by Coro/Aguilar
Jewelry:Vintage:Fine
Here is a large, fabulous orchid pin made from individually smithed pieces. It's an amazing vintage Mexican pin made by Coro ~ Hector Aguilar design. During WWII and until about 1950, Coro contracted Taller Borda Silversmiths, owned by Hector Aguilar, to produce jewelry out of Mexico in response to the shortage of metals in the US.

$65 USDFabulous 1920's Paste Stone Sterling Drop Earrings
Jewelry:Vintage:Fine:Art Deco
Paste stones or diamonds? One was created to imitate the sparkle of the other, yet the imitators were often more lovely than the real thing, and in some cases, more valuable! That's the history of paste stones in a nutshell. The glittering clear stones were introduced as a substitute for diamonds in about 1701, and they have become extremely collectable today. It was Georges Frederic Strass who invented the paste mainly for the middle class, who couldn't afford the high prices of real diamonds. ...
