Jewelry:Vintage
For your consideration is this unusual little brooch with a wonderful hand carved dragon face. Measuring a little over 1.0" long and a little over 1/2" tall, this pin is fashioned from a beautiful color of wood - the reverse showing some natural variations. We believe it to be nut wood. The pin clasp hooks in a simple "C" and is in tight working order. What is so amazing to me about this little work of art is the intricacy of the carving. The artisan had to have been skilled because this is a ...

$40 USD Offers ConsideredVintage Signed Kramer of New York Purple Red Glass Fantasy Stone Pin
Jewelry:Vintage:Pins/Brooches
The beautiful play of colors in this pin defy description but I will try! At first glance, the pear-shaped stones appear red, like the others, but the slightest movement and you see a sheen of purple, perhaps blue? This purple almost seems to glow from within. There are several different shapes of stones within the pin. The metal is a brass color. There is also a hook at the top so this could be worn on a chain. Condition: to wear, and to look at, the pin appears in great shape. ON close ...
$20 USD Offers ConsideredVintage C-Clasp Brass and Blue Border Baby Pin or Lingerie Pin

This tiny pin, measuring almost 3/4" long, is likely a baby pin from the late 1800's or early 1900's.

Please feel free to email us any further questions.
$75 USD Offers ConsideredVintage Art Glass Aqua and Burnt Orange Bead Necklace - Amazing Beads
Jewelry:Vintage:Beaded
Where to begin? I am a major lover of vintage glass, so I was thrilled when I ran across this necklace. The artistry in each bead is evident in the swirls, twists and turns of the glass. Amazingly enough, I can find no chips on any of the beads!! To be honest, these beads are what I call "drool inducers." Just amazing- and, a nice, heavy weight also attesting to their quality. The color combination is just fabulous and perfectly in tune with current fashion. This necklace looks fantastic on - ...
$30 USD Offers ConsideredVintage Pair of Enamel Lingerie Pins - Victorian or Edwardian Era
Jewelry:Vintage:Pins/Brooches
These late 1800's or early 1900's lingerie pins are beautifully enameled with a floral theme. They fasten with a "C-Clasp". They are 1.0" long and a little more than .25" wide. There is one tiny spot near a flower on one pin that may be a slight enamel loss - see photo. There is some age-related patina on the reverse. The pin stem works but does hang down in the c-clasp; it doesn't stay right up there in the "C". Please email us with any further questions.
$30 USD Offers ConsideredVictorian or Edwardian Era Carved Mother of Pearl Belt or Sash Buckle
Jewelry:Vintage:Buckle
These wonderful buckles were popular in the late 1800's and early 1900's. This particular buckle is almost 2.0" wide and 3.0" tall. It has a metal tongue. This is the first mother of pearl buckle I have found that was carved in this manner - it gives the buckle a somewhat "hand hammered" effect and it very eye-catching. The carved "grooves" also allow for the shimmering colors to play when the buckle is moved. The metal tongue has some finish loss and age-related wear but is in perfect working ...

Famous for their fanciful creations, this Kirk's Folly star pin reminds me of a shooting star. I love the small gold-tone heart dangle. The pin is in unused excellent condition - still on the original card. (though I did take it off for photography). The back of the card has some sticky residue from a sticky tag - I did remove most of it. Sure to delight a Kirk's Folly collector (while researching this pin I discovered there is an entire club devoted to collecting Kirk's Folly!) or for anyone ...
$65 USD Offers ConsideredLarge Pink Triangle Chaton and Navette Rhinestone Brooch Pin
Jewelry:Vintage:Pins/Brooches

Please email us any further questions - thanks!
$75 USD Offers ConsideredSALE Vintage Sterling Silver Signed ANA Pin and Pendant Figural
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
This beautiful sterling silver pin also has an attachment for use as a pendant as well. The design on the front is reminiscent of looking at a sculpture - and indeed, the lighter silver design is a different piece of silver than the circular base. This is a piece that speaks of a talented silversmith and is the type of design that is open to your own interpretation...I, for one, think I see a creature on the left side with a fish in its mouth. I am still pondering on the rest. The marks on the ...

$70 USD Offers ConsideredSALE Marked 800 Silver Naturalistic Arts and Crafts Era C-Clasp Brooch Pin
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling

Based on the simplistic, natural theme of this piece, we are dating it to the Arts & Crafts era. The "800" silver mark is typically seen on pieces from countries other than the USA. This brooch measures 1.75" by a little more than .75". It weighs 9.5 grams. Excellent condition with a tight working C-Clasp. It appears ...

$55 USD Offers ConsideredVintage Sterling Silver and Enamel Shoe with Pom Pom Marked 950 with C Clasp
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling:Enamel
Measuring 1.50" across and .75" tall at the tallest point, this wonderful vintage shoe pin dates to the early 1900's. Older Sterling jewelry was sometimes made with 950/1000 parts Sterling; indicative of a higher quality Sterling than the most common "925" mark. The pin back is secured within a "C-Clasp", further dating the piece as early. The main body of the pin is fashioned with red enamel and Sterling designs; the pom-pom on the tip being blue and white enamel. This piece is in very good ...

The brooch is likely circa 1870; there is a similar one pictured in a reprint of an A. Bernhard & Co. catalog page from 1870 on page 252 of C. Jeanne Bell's book: "Collector's Encyclopedia of Hairwork Jewelry". The mounting pictured is described as "enamel box and glass". She also pictures almost ...
$75 USD Offers ConsideredBrass Frame Vintage Cameo Pin Brooch
Jewelry:Vintage:Carved, Cameo
This lovely cameo is set in a decorative brass frame - the brass forming swirls and flowers. The cameo material is likely shell and is carved with wonderful attention to detail: note the hair and the tunic at the neck line. The pin clasp is in excellent working order. This piece is in very good condition - perhaps a mild cleaning is due for the cameo itself; I refrain from cleaning vintage jewelry, preferring to let the new owner decide if it is needed. Please feel free to email us any further ...
$85 USD Offers ConsideredFabulous Open Backed Blue Glass Stones Pin and Earring Set
Jewelry:Vintage
This set is in excellent condition! The stones are a medium dark blue and are wonderfully set off with light blue rhinestones. The metal is silver tone with a bright rhodium finish. Based on the construction of the brooch (the fastening mechanism is 'built into' the brooch, the shape of the stones and the face that the stones are open backed), I attribute this piece to Juliana by De Lizza & Elster. Looks amazing on and is just as pretty in a display.

$150 USD Offers ConsideredVintage Signed Robert DeMario Multi-Length Fringe Necklace
Jewelry:Vintage:Necklaces
From my personal collection I am pleased (and a little sad) to offer for your consideration this beautiful fringe necklace and earring demi parure by the highly desirable designer Robert DeMario. Truly a delight to own or to wear! DeMario designed jewelry from 1945 through the mid 1960's. His work and the types of materials he used to create are very similar to those favored by Miriam Haskell and their work is often confused until one sees the signature. DeMario produced only for a limited time ...
$55 USD Offers ConsideredSALE 14k Yellow and White Gold Two-Tone Jesus on Anchor Crucifix Charm
Jewelry:Vintage:Charms

Perfectly preserved, this approximately 1" by 1/2" charm features a white gold Jesus against a yellow gold background. Marked "14k" on reverse, with a not fully legible maker's mark (see closeup photo). Weight is ...
