$90 USDElegant Vintage European 800 Silver Necklace
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
This is a beautiful vintage necklace with terrific textured links fashioned from European continental silver. The elegant piece is 16&1/2" long and it is made up of intricate open square-shaped links. The links are doubled so the texturing appears on both sides. The work looks a bit like cut steel, and it makes the silver really sparkle. Each link is about 1/2" across. This great piece is meant to be worn on its own, although it would be possible to suspend something from the middle. There is a ...
$60 USDLarge Modernist Smoky Quartz Briolette Sterling Ring
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
This is an amazing arty ring from the 1970's, what some might call "hand-made meets bling." It is a large silver ring wired with 9 beautiful smoky quartz briolettes. The multi-faceted tear -drop shaped stones have been attached to a fairly large, slightly concave silver panel at the front; a thick silver band is soldered on at the back. It's a modern, flashy piece that makes a statement with a hand-made twist. It may be showy, but it's not over-the-top; it is tasteful, beautifully made, and the ...
$15 USDDelicate Sterling Vermeil Maltese Cross Earrings
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
Here's a lovely pair of vintage Maltese Cross earrings.

Here it is depicted on these lovely silver earrings that have been covered in a gold wash. The cross rests in an open centre enclosed by pretty lacy double frames. The drops hang from silver posts. As you can see from my pictures, the gold finish does have ...
$110 USDElegant Art Deco Glass Sterling Bow Necklace
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
Crystal or glass sterling necklaces from the 1920's and 30's are getting so hard to find, it's rather like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Imagine my delight when I came upon this beauty at a recent antique fair. It is just stunning. This would be my choice to wear to the Christmas office party this season along with a little black dress...if I didn't already have another necklace picked out, that is. And since I'm not wearing it, you can! You'll be the belle of the ball because these ...

$155 USDSplendid Heavy Fancy Solid Mexican Silver Necklace 86.9 grams!
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling

Total weight is 8.1 grams. ...
$35 USDWide Sterling Celtic Knot RIng

Celtic knots are a variety of (mostly endless) knots and stylized graphical representations of knots used for decoration, adopted by the ancient Celts.

$65 USDWonderful Puffed Silver Vintage Star-burst Pin
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
This terrific old silver pin reminds me of a jester's hat. I think it's the combination of the sun or star rays with the orbs attached at the ends--they conjure images of jingling bells! It's a beautiful pin that looks Victorian. The only thing that suggests it may be not quite as old as that is the catch, which isn't the Victorian "C" type, but the locking spring ring kind. It may or may not be a replacement. The pin consists of a puffy round centre framed in twisted silver wire. The star or ...

$30 USD SaleSALE Lovely Silver Ruby Paste Marcasite Vintage bar Pin
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling

$75 USDBold Modernist Design Scandinavian Silver Ring 10.4 grams
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
There's no denying the Scandinavians had the edge on modern jewelry design beginning in the 1900s. Silver jewelry was bold, simple, clean, and very often large in size. You could say that Scandinavian Modern combined the ancient with the modern, primitive with the sophisticated. This heavy silver ring demonstrates this duality: it has the clean, simple modernist look, yet it also appears primitive. That is the beauty of Scandinavian design! This ring is not a signed piece, but it has a terrific ...
