$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.

$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.

After the Takahashis were released, the birds became their business and were sold both directly and through stores across the U.S. Each was hand-carved and painted by the Takahashis and is a tiny work of art. Takahashi bird earrings are very rare and I have only seen ...

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

The choker, clip earrings, and ring all feature Lucite in a mellow ivory color set into shiny gold-tone metal embossed with a flower and leaf design. Very earthy and elegant! Choker: Difficult ...
