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.
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 ...

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

The central pendant drop measures 2 inches long and 1/2 inch in diameter. In wonderful condition, and so comfortable to wear, please note that this hangs lower on the body than my pictures show.

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 ...
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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

$45 USDElegant Vintage Gold Filled Brooch Signed Germany

A classically elegant Gold Filled Brooch dating to the 1930's and signed on the reverse 'Rolled Gold 10/000 Germany'. Rolled Gold is a term used in Europe for Gold Filled. The Brooch measures 2 inches by 1 1/4 inches and fastens with a roll-over safety clasp. In beautiful condition, this is the kind of piece that you can wear at any time and with anything.
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 ...

Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Vintage:Coro:Enamel:Earrings:Signed

Signed on the adjustable Clips 'Coro', the Earrings are in a rich gold color metal, which is beautifully textured on the reverse, and enameled on the front in a very dark blue and a jadeite green.

$75 USDFabulous Art Deco Rhinestone and Faux Pearl Dress Clip

Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Vintage:Art Deco:Dress Clip
One of my favorite Clips, the combination of Rhinestones which sparkle like Diamonds and faux Pearls in a grape cluster arrangement, is stunning. Set in a silver chrome metal, the Clip measures 1 inch across and just over 1 3/4 inches down. In excellent condition, there is some slight wear to the pearl coating on a couple of the beads, but this is on the reverse so cannot be seen from the front. Even in daylight the Rhinestones sparkle beautifully, but in artificial light they flash and sparkle ...

Fabulous Vintage Aurora Borealis Crystal Bead 2 Strand Necklace

$110 USDFabulous Vintage Aurora Borealis Crystal Bead 2 Strand Necklace

Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Vintage:Aurora Borealis:Crystal:Necklace:Signed
This has to be the best Aurora Borealis Crystal Bead Necklace that I have ever seen! The Aurora Borealis coating on the faceted beads has a dark metallic appearance so that the vivid colors reflected are just fabulous. The coating causes the crystal beads to appear to be a smoky gray color, but they are in fact clear. As was common with these beads, the coating is on one side of each bead. Dating to the 1950's, the Necklace is marked on the clasp 'Hong Kong'. The shortest strand of the Necklace ...

With a scalloped edge and safety chain, the Bracelet is in the Victorian style which had a revival in popularity in the 40's. The Bracelet is in a rich rose gold finish, but not gold. Possibly gilded Sterling Silver, but there are no marks that I can find, so it may be a base metal. However, it certainly looks the part!
