Florenza Teardrop Glass Moonstones & Gold Tone Brooch Pin

$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 ...
SALE Georg Jensen Denmark Sterling Swirl Shell Tie Bar Clasp--1950s

$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". ...
SALE Alice Caviness Pirate Treasure Chest Brooch Pin--Aaaarrh, Matey!

$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 ...

This pretty gathered bouquet pin is from Hattie Carnegie. Three stems of artificial pearl and round clear rhinestone flowers are loosely gathered and “tied” at the stems. A few accent rhinestones are scattered here and there amongst the detailed gold-tone metal leaves.

Henkel & Grosse is a German company that has been around since 1907 and has made jewelry for Christian Dior. This is an elegant necklace bearing their own mark and includes a metal hangtag. Made of nine curved, rectangular plaques, open in the middles, with smooth, horseshoe shapes on each end. The remaining plaque surfaces are textured in a design resembling four twisted ropes.

The long, stylized leaf with matching round clip earrings are of antiqued gold tone metal. Each piece has a beautiful raised design of serrated-edged leaves which is brushed with slightly metallic, translucent orange-red and matte grey enamel.

Jewelry:Vintage:Signed
Whether it reminds you of Dalmatians, Holstein cows, or Pierrot, this demi parure by Kramer does black and white in such an elegant way! Black and white plastic inserts are pasted in to a setting of silver tone metal. It’s a simple design, in the most eye-catching style! Bracelet measures 7” long by a little over ¾” wide by ¼” deep. It has a fold-over clasp that works well. There is some plating loss on the fold-over closure. The rest of the metal plating is in very good condition, with little ...
SALE Les Bernard Figural Snail Choker Pendant Necklace--Gold Tone & White Enamel

$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 ...
SALE Pink & Purple Rhinestone w/Pearl Drop Earrings by ART Company--So Romantic!

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

Jewelry:Vintage:Signed
This is a pair of the prettiest clip earrings I've seen by one of my favorite jewelry companies--ART. Baroque in style, the gold-tone metal is set with clear, amethyst purple, and fuschia pink rhinestones. Three tiny artificial pearls dot the top curve, while a pear-shaped artificial pearl dangles from the bottom. These are very dainty, but with a burst of color and movement that makes them pop when worn. Earrings measure just under 1 ½" north-south (the dangling section accounts for ½" of that) ...
SALE Philippe Crown Trifari Flirtation Purple & Clear Rhinestone Flower Brooch Pin

$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 ...
SALE Elzac Victim of Fashion Lady Face Pottery Brooch Pin—Dark Hair, Silver Braid Trim

$55 USD SaleSALE Elzac Victim of Fashion Lady Face Pottery Brooch Pin—Dark Hair, Silver Braid Trim

Jewelry:Vintage:Signed
Here is a lady a little down on her luck, but still fetching! The pretty glazed pottery face is mounted on a wood backing and trimmed with a dark wig and a small hat of metallic silver soutache braid and iridescent green sequins. The face is lovingly painted, with closed eyes; thin, arched brows; and ruby red lips. Pin measures 2 ½” long by 1 ½” across by ½” deep. Her lip paint has some wear, as does the eyebrows, and there is a tiny smudge on the end of her nose. Face over all has light crazing ...
SALE Crown Trifari Coral & Turquoise Molded Leaf Earrings

$38 USD SaleSALE Crown Trifari Coral & Turquoise Molded Leaf Earrings

Jewelry:Vintage:Signed
These sprightly clip earrings by Trifari are highlighted by molded plastic leaves of coral pink and turquoise blue. They are set into a design of gold-tone vines, accentuated with tiny round clear rhinestones. Note the fine detailed ribs of the leaves, and their curled-up tips. I believe they can be dated to approximately 1955-1970, but the quality and colors really never go out of style. Earrings are 1 ¼” in diameter and a little over ¼” in depth. All leaves and rhinestones are pasted in. The ...
SALE Crown Trifari Alfred Philippe Clair De Lune Hinged Bracelet in Sapphire Blue

$228 USD SaleSALE Crown Trifari Alfred Philippe Clair De Lune Hinged Bracelet in Sapphire Blue

Jewelry:Vintage:Signed
This is one of the most sumptuous bracelets I have ever seen. In the sought-after Clair De Lune style, it features crescent moons (or demi lunes) of glass moonstones, small clear rhinestones, and square sapphire blue rhinestones. The over all design is baroque and splendid. The bracelet is slightly oval in shape and is hinged with a safety latch closure more often found on fine jewelry. The metal is plated with gold-toned Trifanium, a process patented by Trifari in the 1940s, which gives it a ...
Fantastic Modernist Sterling Silver Pendant, Blue Rhinestones, by Van Dell

$46 USDFantastic Modernist Sterling Silver Pendant, Blue Rhinestones, by Van Dell

Jewelry:Vintage:Signed
I was certain this was a Scandinavian piece until I turned it over and discovered it was made by the Van Dell Corporation of Providence, Rhode Island! Dating from about 1970, the Modernist influence is evident in the alternately smooth and pitted texture of the “slats” forming the shield-shaped pendant. The clear sapphire blue oval rhinestones are precisely placed to form a diamond shape and are prong-set in open back settings. The accompanying chain is marked “sterling” and I believe it is ...
SALE Miriam Haskell Black Glass Rondelle Bead Flower Earrings

$24 USD SaleSALE Miriam Haskell Black Glass Rondelle Bead Flower Earrings

Jewelry:Vintage:Signed
Imaginative construction on these earrings! "Petals" of saucer-shaped black glass beads with antiqued "Russian" gold-tone metal disc spacers are wired around a round glass bead as the flower center. Elements are all wired to a double layer of antiqued gold-tone filigree backing and finished with adjustable screw-back clips marked "HASKELL" in block letters. It looks as though these earrings have been repaired at some time, as there is glue visible on the backs (Haskell never used glue). And one ...
SALE Fabulous Renoir Copper & Black Enamel Coralfish Fish Earrings

$38 USD SaleSALE Fabulous Renoir Copper & Black Enamel Coralfish Fish Earrings

Jewelry:Vintage:Signed
These modernist fish clip earrings were made by Renoir of California and can be dated to around 1955-1964, when the company closed. This design is called “Coralfish,” and I understand it can be difficult to find. The copper fish body is punctuated by a huge round eye of black enamel. The fins are represented by squiggles of copper attached from the back, and you wear them with the fish’s nose pointing downwards, which should bring a lot of second looks! Earrings measure 1 ½” north-south by a ...
SALE PENDING Coro Walt Disney Dumbo Elephant & Circus Master Fur Clip Chatelaine

This wonderful pair of little joined fur or pin clips is from a series done by Coro in the early 1940s as tie-ins to the animated film “Dumbo.” Similar pieces can be seen in Brunialti’s book “Tribute to America,” pp. 76-77. Made of gold plated metal, both the Circus Master and Dumbo are decorated with cold enamel details of white, red, and dark blue. The two fur clips are joined by a fine chain.
