$36 USD1940s Black and Clear Cameo Brooch
Jewelry:Vintage:Pins & Brooches
This pin probably dates to about 1940, It features a black cameo mounted on a carved clear background. The material of the clear portion appears to be lucite, and Grandma is unsure of the material on the center cameo - it seems to also be some sort of plastic, but seems harder than lucite. It is quite a stately piece, measuring a full 3" tall, and it is in very good condition. The clasp is a simple c-clasp.
$77 USDRoman Glass Pin or Pendant
Jewelry:Vintage:Pins & Brooches
This pretty, hand crafted pin was an enigma to Grandma when she first picked it up. The stone is really interesting - varying shades of teal with pinks and golds that seemed to be embedded in the middle. The surface texture was a bit rough, almost frosted. Grandma has since been told that this is a piece of Roman Glass, which comes from archaeological dig sites in Israel, and is about 2000 years old! It is set in silver, with a decorative curve of silver filigree with appliqued designs across ...
$39 USDFlower-and-Branch Sparkling Rhinestone Brooch
Jewelry:Vintage:Pins & Brooches
Grandma really likes this pretty pin - the design is just plain appealing. Marquise rhinestones are arranged to look like flowers blooming from a branch of baguette stones. It is set in a rhodium plated setting, and is in excellent condition. The rhinestones are very sparkly and clear, and speak to the high quality of this piece. End to end, it measures about 2 1/4" long.
$41 USDPetite Weiss Strawberry Pin
Jewelry:Vintage:Pins & Brooches
Its cute. Its sparkly. Its Weiss. That about says it all for this adorable little pin. For those of you that are more detail oriented...this pin measures 1" tall. It has a japanned finish. The rhinestones are red aurora borealis stones. Because of the dark finish, it was difficult to get a picture of the mark, but it is a cartouche with Weiss in capital letters. The back is not textured. Very good condition.
$65 USDCoro Cockatoo Fur Clip
Jewelry:Vintage:Pins & Brooches
This beautiful bird is a well know book piece made by Coro c. 1940. This piece is just beautiful, encrusted with pave set rhinestones all over his body, and with lovely enameled feathers and flowers. He is in very good condition, with just a touch of enamel loss along one edge of the feathers on his wing. He measures about 3 1/2" high by 1" wide.
$35 USDArts and Crafts Era Bracelet?
Jewelry:Vintage:Pins & Brooches
This bracelet is a bit of an enigma - it could be from the Arts and Crafts Era - then again, it could be straight out of the 1970s. All Grandma can say for sure that it is hand crafted and quite charming. It is made in sterling silver, and is very solid - a good amount of silver. The design centers on a black cabochon in the center, which may be onyx. It has a maker's mark that reads "TB-136", in addition to indicating silver content of 925. It will generally fit if you wear a 7" or 7 1/2" ...
$85 USDMulticolor Hollycraft Brooch
Jewelry:Vintage:Pins & Brooches
Hollycraft created a variety of styles through the years, but Grandma's favorite has to be the multi-colored pastel pieces for which Hollycraft is so well known. This pretty pin looks like a paisley design, in a lovely array of blue, pin, purple, yellow and green rhinestones. Each of the two paisley curls has a single line of baguettes down the center. The setting is antiqued gold tone. This isn't a very large pin, measuring just 1 1/2" in length, but with all the color, it will definitely draw ...
$65 USDBogoff Rhinestone Brooch
Jewelry:Vintage:Pins & Brooches
When Grandma first saw this elegant Bogoff pin, she thought it represented a peacock's open tail feathers. Lines of round rhinestones fan out from the center, terminating in a larger marquise stone. Very pretty! It measures about 2" across, and is in a rhodium plated setting. It is in very good condition with all of the stones sparkling and clear. There is one stone that might be beginning to darken on the outer edge, just a tiny bit on one edge. This pin is marked Bogoff.
$350 USDHAR Sultan Pin
Jewelry:Vintage:Pins & Brooches
This is indeed a rare find! HAR collectors are familiar with this highly prized pin, which is the face of a sultan complete with a colorful turban. Grandma has also seen this pin referred to a a Genie, and even a King, but she believes he is indeed a Sultan. The face is a olive green in color, and the turban is also accented with the green color, as well as dozens of citrine color rhinestones and a nice brushed gold tone finish. He sports an emerald green rhinestone earring and a necklace of ...

$165 USD SaleSALE Coro Bird Double Pins with Frame
Jewelry:Vintage:Pins & Brooches
This is an lovely double pin that is part of the very well known series of bird designs attributed to Coro. Grandma has seen this form referred to as Birds of Paradise, but doesn't know if that is common parlance or an 'official' name to the style. Grandma actually thinks these are Blue Jays. This variation in form features two blue enamelled birds, with green and yellow accents, perched on a flowering branch. Each bird is accented with rhinestone wings. The pair is connected with a slide-style ...
$122 USD SaleSALE Double Birds Pin with Frame
Jewelry:Vintage:Pins & Brooches
Some folks might call this a Duette, but it is better referred to as a double pin. First, Duette specifically refers to items by Coro, and this set has not been confirmed as being designed by Coro. It is similar to the famous birds series by that company, but the maker is truly unknown. Nonetheless, this is a fantastic set, just lovely and highly desirable! This is a pair of blue enamelled parrots, studded with pave set rhinestones all over the body. The wings and tail feathers are beautifully ...

It secures with the oldest style of locking clasp, and dates to the very ...

Jewelry:Vintage:Pins & Brooches
The stone on this early stick pin or scarf pin is luscious. It is topaz in color, rich with caramel and orange tones.

It is prong set atop an old style stick pin with a corrugated patch in the center to keep it in place. The setting appears to be a gold plating over a base metal, as the base metal can be seen under ...

$58 USD Sale PendingSALE PENDING Weiss Rhinestone Pinwheel Brooch

SOLDSOLD Victorian Portrait Pin
Jewelry:Vintage:Pins & Brooches
This lovely brooch is a classic of the mid to late Victorian era - a hand painted portrait pin. The age is indicated by a tube hinge and extended pin with c-clasp. The brooch itself is painted on porcelain, and the frame appears to be rolled gold over base. When Grandma first saw this pin, she thought the subject was a woman, but based on the clothing it is likely a portrait of a boy. The pin is in remarkable condition considering its age - the portrait is perfect.
$362 USD Sale PendingSALE PENDING Multi-Gemstone Brooch c. 1910
Jewelry:Vintage:Pins & Brooches
Grandma was very taken when she first saw this beautiful pin - the design is just lovely, and the stones are beautiful. Grandma's gemologist took a look, and has confirmed both the metals and stones. The piece is made of sterling silver plated in gold, and polished off on the top. This was common during the last half of the 1800's, but the clasp dates the piece to 1905- 1920. The stones suggest this date as well. The piece includes a demantoid garnet - these came out of Russia until the end of ...
