$31 USD SaleSALE Fab Flapper Necklace Gold & Black Seed Beads, Tassels, Ribbon Style
Jewelry:Vintage:Necklaces:Bead:Unsigned
This fabulous flapper sautoir is woven of gold color and black seed beads in a diamond-shaped pattern, ending in two looped beaded tassels. Three beaded criss-crosses join the two halves of the necklace about 4 inches above the tassels. The little bead "points" along the edges add a charming lacy effect. PLEASE NOTE: The necklace is shown very much shortened in the last photo. It was the only way to get it to fit on the bust for photo purposes. Length--20". Width--1/2". Length of Tassels--2 ¼". ...
$60 USDFlorenza Teardrop Glass Moonstones & Gold Tone Brooch Pin
Jewelry:Vintage:Signed
Streamlined yet intricate, this Florenza brooch is one of the most beautiful I have seen. An upside-down convex teardrop shape is outlined in a twisted rope of antiqued gold-tone metal. Within the outline are 17 oval glass moonstones in teardrop-shaped settings of beaded gold tone. Note that these settings have little gold-tone stems on the narrow ends, making the stones look like pale fruits. The focal point, centered with a clear rhinestone and a burst of 4 moonstone fruits, is exquisite. Two ...
$56 USD SaleSALE Gorgeous Drop Fringe Necklace--Gold Tone Pine Cone Finials
Jewelry:Vintage:Necklaces:Unsigned
This so-elegant necklace is most likely from the 1930s-1940s and features 18 gold tone metal drops I can best describe as pinecone finials that are both textured and three-dimensional. These hang from a gold tone metal chain of textured double links. It closes with a spring-ring clasp that may not be original to the piece. This necklace is quite substantial and drapes beautifully--an absolute stunner when worn. Length--23" end-to-end; about 11" in length when worn. Drops are ¾" long by a little ...
$112 USD SaleSALE Georg Jensen Denmark Sterling Swirl Shell Tie Bar Clasp--1950s
Jewelry:Vintage:Signed:Men's Items
This is an elegant sterling silver tie bar or clasp from Georg Jensen, which was purchased in Denmark by the original owner in the early 1950s. I understand that it was designed by Henry Pilstrup. The central element is an oval swirl or whorl centered in a rectangular cartouche. I like the way the organic, swirling center offsets the straight, man-made lines of the rest of the piece. This would make a special gift for a special fellow! Length east to west is 2 ¼". Width north to south is 3/8". ...
$60 USD SaleSALE Alice Caviness Pirate Treasure Chest Brooch Pin--Aaaarrh, Matey!
Jewelry:Vintage:Signed
This unusual pin from Alice Caviness is a fine treasure for any pirate! The three-dimensional gold tone metal chest is sliced on a diagonal so that one end is higher than the other, giving an illusion of depth. The chest is very detailed, with grain and knots in the "wood," handles, and a padlock. The partially open lid reveals three artificial jewels, plus a tiny artificial pearl and two round rhinestones. Measures 1 ¼" east-west by 1" north-south by ¾" deep. Pin stem and safety clasp are in ...

$26 USD SaleSALE How Now, Round Owl?--Owl Figural Gold Tone & Rhinestone Brooch Pin
Jewelry:Vintage:Unsigned
This pudgy fellow is just cute as a button! Made of antiqued gold-tone metal, the hairy feathers on his body are heavily textured and dimensional. He has three-taloned feet and melting green cabochon eyes! Round clear rhinestones stud the branch he's perched upon, the widow's peak between his ears, and also encircle his neck. Such a cutie! Measures 1 ½" north-south by 1 ¼" east-west and ½" deep. Stones are glued in. Pin stem and safety catch work well--some plate loss on pin stem. There is a bit ...
$24 USD SaleSALE Pretty Sterling Calla Lily Flower Brooch Pin & Earrings
Jewelry:Vintage:Unsigned
This is a delicate demi parure of nicely formed calla lilies. All pieces are marked sterling, and I believe there is also a gold wash, though most of it has worn off. For the brooch, two long-stemmed flowers are gathered on either side of a long, curving leaf. The lilies have fine details along the veins and edges with fully dimensional stamens. Matching screw-back earrings are also dimensional with the same detailing as the larger flowers. Brooch is marked sterling, as are the screw-back ...

$119 USDCrown Trifari Modernist Pendant Necklace, Reversible Blue/Cream Acrylic Oval
Jewelry:Vintage:Necklaces:Signed:Trifari:Acrylic
This beautiful Trifari necklace is similar to the acrylic Lanvin necklaces that are so popular right now. Two large flat plastic ovals are sandwiched together with a gold-tone metal band around the edge. One oval is a cool, ivory cream color. This swivels or flips over to an oval of lovely cerulean blue with just a touch of cream marbling. The blue oval is much shinier and richer than my pictures show. These ovals are surmounted by a curved gold-tone metal setting which depends from a ...

A beautiful find--times two!--with a distinguished pedigree. Patented April 11, 1939, by head designer Alfred Philippe for Trifari, Krussman, & Fishel, Inc., it is amazing that these fur or pin clips have stayed together all these years.

$60 USD SaleSALE Les Bernard Figural Snail Choker Pendant Necklace--Gold Tone & White Enamel
Jewelry:Vintage:Signed:Necklaces:Les Bernard
One of the most interesting subjects for a pendant I’ve ever seen, this rather bemused snail wonders how the heck he got here! In shiny gold tone (probably gold-plated) metal, he sports a magnificent whorled shell with concentric stripes of white enamel and gold tone metal. He is suspended from a thick flattened curb link chain which fastens with a fold-over clasp. The side view pictures show just how dimensional this plucky mollusk is. Well-made and whimsical, even a dedicated gardener would be ...

$24 USD SaleSALE Pink & Purple Rhinestone w/Pearl Drop Earrings by ART Company--So Romantic!

$60 USD SaleSALE Philippe Crown Trifari Flirtation Purple & Clear Rhinestone Flower Brooch Pin
Jewelry:Vintage:Signed:Brooches & Pins:Rhinestone:Trifari
This is a gorgeous design! Patented in 1953, this beauty from the “Flirtation” line depicts a spray of flowers set with purple navettes and squares and clear chaton rhinestones. The flowers cascade downwards, their stems loosely wrapped with a gold-tone ribbon accentuated by clear rhinestone baguettes. I honestly think this is the loveliest piece in the Flirtation line, and those purple rhinestones simply cannot be beat for beauty. Brooch measures 2 ¼” north-south by 1 ¾” east-west by a little ...
$635 USDTakahashi Carved Wood Bird Blue Jay Earrings—Truly Rare

The Takahashi hand-painted wooden bird pins were created by Yoneguma and Kiyoka Takahashi for many years.

Takahashi bird earrings are very rare and I have only seen ...

Jewelry:Vintage:Sets:Signed:Trifari
Easy to wear, with ethnic flair!
