Jewelry:Vintage:Costume
What a job it was to capture the beauty of this necklace in the camera!

Here we have a 4-piece set made of heavy hand-cut crystal: two perfume bottles, a shorter and a longer pin tray.

The crystal has a wonderful smoked greenish grey tone. The two perfume bottles are very similar but not exactly the same: one has a flat neck and the other has a concave neck and one of the stoppers is ...

This adorable girl is tiny but still has a lot of details. She wears a white and pink blouse and holds a bouquet of flowers in one hand. Her light brown hair is Marcel-waved. She was made in the 20s from white porcelain and handpainted. We cannot see if she is marked without undoing the pincushion, but we are pretty certain she is German.

$28 USDEarly 20s ornate brass & Peking glass brooch
Jewelry:Vintage:Victorian/Art Nouveau
This is a sweet little brooch dating from the early 20s or even earlier and probably made in Bohemia. The brass brooch has a lovely art nouveau feel to it and it is set with green mottled glass stones so called "Peking glass" because they were supposed to imitate jade. This little pin has a diameter of about 1¼" (3 cm) and an old safety-pin-type clasp. A very desirable jewel of the past!
$110 USDGorgeous old art nouveau silver, leaves & blue stone pin
Jewelry:Vintage:Art Nouveau
What a remarkable art nouveau brooch! The openwork pattern shows beautiful leaves and is set with a blue glass stone (it could be a semi-precious stone but we cannot tell for certain). And the finish of this "still life" is of high quality. The brooch is in very good condition considering it dates from around 1900. It is stamped 800 for silver on the C-type clasp. Approximately 2 x 2" (50 x 50 mm).

Collectibles:Decorative:Brienz Handcarved Wood
This lovely couple of eagles comes from Brienz and dates from the 40s/50s. Swiss woodcarving is also called Swiss Black Forest in reference to the world-famous German craft industry. But sculpting wood is a centuries-old tradition in the Bernese Oberland and the heart of it is Brienz, a charming and very picturesque town not far from Interlaken where all the very old wooden chalets are true works of art with their fabulous carvings.
