Antique Edwardian Sterling Silver and Ruby Paste Bar Brooch

$95 USDAntique Edwardian Sterling Silver and Ruby Paste Bar Brooch

Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Edwardian:Sterling Silver:Bar Brooch:Book Piece
A gorgeous Edwardian Sterling Silver Bar Brooch set with beautiful sparkling square cut Ruby color Paste and round faceted clear stones. Almost identical in design to a Brooch pictured on p.270 of the excellent book 'Understanding Jewellery published by The Antique Collectors Club, except that brooch was set with Diamonds and Sapphires. Dating to the early 1900's, the Brooch measures 2 1/2 inches across and 1/8 inch at it's widest point. It is marked '925' for Sterling Silver, although only the ...
Stunning Art Deco Faux Jadeite Silver Cocktail Ring

$115 USDStunning Art Deco Faux Jadeite Silver Cocktail Ring

Jewelry:Vintage:Rings:Art Deco:Silver
A stunning Art Deco Ring set with a gorgeous Jadeite or dyed Agate stone. My Jeweler thought it was perhaps Jadeite or possibly dyed Agate, so I have priced it as the latter. Set in silver which is not marked but tests as a lower grade than Sterling, probably .700 or .800 grade, the mount holding the stone is typical of early 1920's pieces. The Ring is probably of Chinese origin. The Ring is a generous US Size 6 (UK Size L 1/2). The stone set Crown measures 1/2 inch by just over 1 1/8 inches. ...
Beautifully Detailed Large Gilded Flower Clip with Garnet Lucite Stones

$55 USDBeautifully Detailed Large Gilded Flower Clip with Garnet Lucite Stones

Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Vintage:Gilded:Clip:Lucite
One of my favorite pieces, a beautifully made and detailed Clip with a highly gilded finish. Usually these type of pieces are set with Rhinestones, but amazingly the garnet color prong set faceted stones in this clip are Lucite. The Clip measures 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 at the widest points and has a beautifully detailed sprung clip on the reverse. In excellent condition with no wear to the gilded finish.
Vintage Sterling Silver and Polished Carnelian Pendant Necklace

$45 USDVintage Sterling Silver and Polished Carnelian Pendant Necklace

Jewelry:Vintage:Sterling Silver:Carnelian:Cornelian:Pendant:Necklace
A vintage Pendant set with a slice of polished Carnelian held in a mount which is marked on the reverse 'Silver'. On a Sterling Silver chain which measures 18 1/2 inches long and fastens with a spring clasp which is marked 'Sterling'. The Pendant measures 3/4 inch across and 1 1/4 inches down (not including the hanging loop). The lovely stone has faint bands running through it and is semi translucent when held to the light. In superb condition with no damage.
Gorgeous Faux Pearl Lily Cascade Brooch

$45 USDGorgeous Faux Pearl Lily Cascade Brooch

Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Vintage:Cascade:Brooch:C1950
A fabulous vintage Brooch shaped as a Lily with a cascade of gray faux pearls and gilded metal beads suspended on metal links. In a richly textured gold color metal, the Brooch measures 2 5/8 inches across and 2 1/4 inches down, and fastens with a roll-over safety clasp. In superb condition, there is a rub to the gilded metal surface in the reverse and also on the back edge of the brooch, but neither of these can be seen from the front, so do not affect the appearance of the brooch. There is no ...
Pristine Rhinestone Brooch Unsigned Vintage Beauty Still on Store Card

$35 USDPristine Rhinestone Brooch Unsigned Vintage Beauty Still on Store Card

Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Vintage:Rhinestone:Brooch:Unsigned:Carded
Don't we wish that we could find all of our Vintage Costume Jewelry this way - still on the Original Card! A gorgeous silver tone metal Brooch set with pale and cornflower blue foil back Rhinestones pinned to the card, which reads 'Distinctive Jewellery' and at the bottom 'Superior Quality'. There is a Bee logo between the words Superior Quality, so I would think that this would be a maker's logo. This is English and I would think dates from the 1950/60's. There is a pencil written number on the ...
Antique Victorian Graduated Carnelian Bead Necklace

$138 USDAntique Victorian Graduated Carnelian Bead Necklace

Jewelry:Antique:Costume:Victorian:Carnelian:Cornelian:Bead:Necklace
A long Victorian Necklace strung with graduated Carnelian Beads. The Necklace measures approximately 35 inches long, and the largest Carnelian bead measures 5/8 inch in diameter. The string is knotted between each bead. There is no clasp, but the Necklace is long enough to slip easily over the head, although it is not long enough to be worn doubled as shown in my picture. In excellent condition with no damage to the beads, although of course, being a natural stone, there are natural inclusions ...
Fabulous Art Deco Marbled Butterscotch Bakelite Flapper Necklace

$240 USD Offers ConsideredFabulous Art Deco Marbled Butterscotch Bakelite Flapper Necklace

Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Art Deco:Bakelite:Butterscotch:Flapper:Necklace
A fabulous Art Deco long Necklace strung with marbled Butterscotch Bakelite. Measuring 32 inches long, the Necklace has a spring clasp and is strung on the original waxed thread.

Tested positive as Bakelite.
Fabulous Vintage Sterling Silver Vermeil Asian Faces Pendant Earrings

$115 USDFabulous Vintage Sterling Silver Vermeil Asian Faces Pendant Earrings

Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling:Vintage:Costume:Gilded:Pendant:Earrings:Vermeil
A gorgeous pair of vintage Vermeil (gold on silver) Sterling Silver Pendant Earrings on posts for pierced ears. Marked on the posts '925' for Sterling Silver, there is also a Maker's logo, which looks perhaps like a bird in flight. I am not too sure, as it is so small, and it is certainly not one that I recognize. The Earrings measure just under 1 1/2 inches long in total, with the pendants measuring 1 inch long and 1/2 inch wide. They are set with small rhinestones, clear, emerald green and ...
Vintage English Signed Sterling Silver Landscape Moss Agate Brooch

$137 USDVintage English Signed Sterling Silver Landscape Moss Agate Brooch

Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling:Moss Agate:Landscape:English:Brooch:Signed:Sheffield Assay Office:1973
A gorgeous Sterling Silver Brooch set with a large polished Moss Agate stone which is naturally patterned in such a way that it gives the impression of a Tree or a piece of Seaweed. Quite incredible that this kind of miniature picture is formed naturally. The Brooch measures 1 5/8 inches across and 1 1/8 inches down, and bears the full British Sterling Silver Hallmarks for the town of Sheffield in England for the year 1973, and also the Maker's Mark 'E.J.C'. The Brooch fastens with a slightly ...
Stunning Vintage Boxed Silver Vermeil Red Rhinestone Cocktail Ring

$115 USDStunning Vintage Boxed Silver Vermeil Red Rhinestone Cocktail Ring

Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling:Vintage:Red:Rhinestone:Cocktail:Ring:Boxed:Signed
I haven't been able to identify the Country of origin of this stunning Ring, I believe the inscription on the inside of the Box lid 'Echt Silber' is German - although languages are definitely not my strong point! From the marks on the Ring, I would guess that it comes from Austria, as it doesn't bear the full German marks, but as I really cannot identify them - it is just a guess. From the style of the Ring, I would date it to the 1930's or perhaps the 1940's, but without being able to decipher ...
Fabulous Vintage French Art Deco Pearl Lined Blown Glass Bead and Berry Necklace

$140 USDFabulous Vintage French Art Deco Pearl Lined Blown Glass Bead and Berry Necklace

Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Vintage:Art Deco:Beaded:Necklace
A fabulous Art Deco Necklace strung with graduated hand blown pearl lined glass beads with clusters of mocha and coffee colored 'berries'. Pearl lined beads are glass beads that have the pearlescent effect on the inside of the bead, so unlike faux pearls, they will never 'peel'. These particular beads have a lovely warm color to them. From the style and understated elegance, I believe this to be of French origin. Strung on the original silver color metal wire chain, the Necklace fastens with a ...

The large Garnets are all prong set in open back mounts while the small pave set stones are in closed back settings. In a low grade Silver with a Gold wash, the Necklace fastens with a spring clasp. There are 2 round links in the chain about half way up on each side ...
Vintage Black and White Enameled Daisy Brooch

$30 USDVintage Black and White Enameled Daisy Brooch

Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Vintage:Enamel:Flower:Brooch:C1960
These striking Brooches were all the rage in the early 1960's, and this one has survived in excellent condition. Measuring 2 inches in diameter, the brooch fastens with a roll-over safety clasp. Simply enameled in black and white, there is really no damage to the enamel at all, although there are a couple of areas towards the centre of the flower where the enamel seems to have been missed off, although this is only visible with magnification - even though my pictures are magnified, it is not ...
Beautiful Antique Edwardian Gold Brooch with Emerald Paste

$135 USDBeautiful Antique Edwardian Gold Brooch with Emerald Paste

Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Edwardian:Collectible:Gold:Victorian:Emerald:Rhinestone
A lovely delicate late Victorian or Edwardian Gold Brooch set with a large prong set Emerald Rhinestone. Dating to the late 1800's to early 1900's, the brooch is unmarked but tested gold, probably 9 carat. Measuring 1 1/2 inches by 1/2 inch, the brooch has a long pin which extends slightly beyond the edge of the brooch and fastens with a 'C' clasp. This pretty brooch is in excellent condition with no damage to the Emerald Rhinestone.
Lovely Large Vintage Rhinestone Earrings

$37 USDLovely Large Vintage Rhinestone Earrings

Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Vintage:Rhinestone:Earrings:Clip
These beautiful Rhinestone Earrings look like an inverted Heart when placed together. In a chrome plated metal, the earrings measure 1 1/2 inches in length and 1 inch across. Set with Pear shape and round prong set Rhinestones which sparkle beautifully, the earrings are clips, so anyone can wear them. In excellent condition, the stones are all bright and clear, although there is some minor wear to the plating on the reverse of the earrings, which is only visible through a loupe.
Antique 14K Gold Brooch With Safety Chain

$145 USDAntique 14K Gold Brooch With Safety Chain

Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Edwardian:Gold:14kt:Brooch
A lovely antique 14kt Gold Brooch which is fitted with a safety chain. The Brooch is marked on the safety clasp '14K' (although this mark is quite rubbed) and is also marked on the back with the Maker's Mark, although again this is quite worn and the only part that I can decipher is '& Co'. The Brooch measures 1 inch in diameter and fastens with an older style safety clasp. The Brooch weighs 3 grams - although it is possibly slightly over, I do not have professional Jeweler's scales so cannot be ...
Vintage Cultured Freshwater Pearl Woven Necklace

$90 USDVintage Cultured Freshwater Pearl Woven Necklace

Perfect for the Wedding Season - this lovely vintage woven Necklace strung with cultured Freshwater Pearls. The pearls are a lovely white with a hint of peach, with the flower shape in the center in peach color Pearls.

Early Unsigned Miriam Haskell Bakelite Leaf and Berries Brooch

$325 USDEarly Unsigned Miriam Haskell Bakelite Leaf and Berries Brooch

Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Miriam Haskell:Bakelite:Carved:Brooch:Pin:C1930
A fabulous large early unsigned Miriam Haskell Bakelite Brooch dating to the 1930's. Although the Brooch is unsigned, the design and the components used are all indicators to this being a genuine Haskell piece. The green Bakelite leaves in the brooch are identical to one pictured on the excellent Cathy Gordon website (co-author of Miriam Haskell Jewelry), under the Signatures, Findings, Beads section (picture #74) and the pierced flat-back pin back with raised edges which the beads are wired to, ...

Jewelry:Vintage:Necklaces:Art Deco:Murano Glass

To see it and hold it is a dream come true. Strung on a silver color wire, the Necklace measures 17 1/4 inches long and fastens with a spring clasp. It has 9 clusters of colorful hand blown beads representing various flowers, the most prominent appear to be Sunflowers or perhaps large Daisies. The necklace ...
Edwardian French Sterling Silver Ruby Red Rhinestone Bar Brooch

$78 USD Offers ConsideredEdwardian French Sterling Silver Ruby Red Rhinestone Bar Brooch

Jewelry:Antique:Costume:Brooch:Sterling Silver:Rhinestones:French:Signed
A gorgeous antique French Sterling Silver Bar Brooch set with sparkling ruby red and clear Rhinestones. The Brooch is marked near the clasp with the French Boar's Head mark for Sterling Silver. It is also marked on the pin and with a third mark by the pin hinge, which would be the Maker's Mark, but like all French hallmarks, it is so tiny that even with a jeweler's loupe, I cannot decipher it. The brooch measures just over 2 1/4 inches across and a fraction over 1/8 inch wide. It fastens with a ...
Antique French Silver and Ruby Paste Spanish Galleon Brooch

$189 USDAntique French Silver and Ruby Paste Spanish Galleon Brooch

Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Sterling Silver:French:Paste:Galleon:Ship:Brooch
A stunning antique Silver Brooch shaped as a Spanish Galleon and set with the most remarkable Ruby and Clear Paste stones. The antique Paste stones are so beautiful, made to come to life in the poor light of candles so that they looked like real Diamonds and Rubies, the dimmer the light, the more these sparkle! Although of course, very difficult to catch this sparkle in a photo, but you will not be disappointed. The Brooch measures 1 1/8 inches across and just under 1 3/8 inches down, and ...
Gorgeous Vintage Faux Pearl and Aurora Crystal Bead Collar Necklace

$97 USDGorgeous Vintage Faux Pearl and Aurora Crystal Bead Collar Necklace

Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Vintage:Faux Pearl:Aurora Borealis:Crystal:Collar:Necklace
A dramatic vintage Collar Necklace strung with faux Pearl beads and cleverly overlaid with Aurora Borealis Crystal Beads. The faux Pearl beads are plastic while the Aurora Borealis beads are glass, so the necklace has a pleasing weight to it. The Aurora Borealis beads are not immediately noticeable at first glance as they blend in with the pearl beads, but the slightest movement causes the necklace to shimmer with quite vivid colors. The necklace probably dates to the 1950's. The Necklace ...

Fabulous Art Deco Brick Link Rhinestone Bracelet Signed

$525 USDFabulous Art Deco Brick Link Rhinestone Bracelet Signed

Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Vintage:Art Deco:Brick:Rhinestone:Bracelet:Signed:C1920
A fabulous all original Art Deco Bracelet set with clear Rhinestones which, in artificial light, sparkle like diamonds. Circa the 1920's, the Bracelet is set in a white metal, and is marked on the inside with the number 1138525, which is probably a Registration or Patent Number. There is also a word above this, but it is too rubbed to make out. I have seen similar bracelets that were made in Germany - so whether this originates from there, I cannot tell. Measuring 7 1/8 inches long and just ...
