Artist Made Mid 20th Century Buckle or Lovelier, 'Ugly Bird'

$325 USDArtist Made Mid 20th Century Buckle or Lovelier, 'Ugly Bird'

Jewelry:Vintage:Belt Buckle:Lost-wax:Artisan:Handmade
This is the strangest piece of jewelry I think I have ever seen! To me it looks like a big ugly bird wearing a crown. If that is what it is, it's a great looking, ugly bird. I like how the artist made the beak and eyes and I think the eyelashes are cute. This piece of unusual jewelry was made with a technique called 'lost wax'. Some jewelery makers used an pre-made wax mold but the more accomplished ones made their own. I'm sure this 'ugly bird' was made in a hand made and designed wax mold. I ...
CAMEO, Unusual Design, Black And Pale Green Enamel Over Silver

$85 USDCAMEO, Unusual Design, Black And Pale Green Enamel Over Silver

Jewelry:Vintage:Pins/Brooches:Cameo
I haven't seen a piece like this before and I think it is quite lovely. It seems to be an enamel over silver and mounted on a non precious metal mount. The silhouette of the woman is surrounded by black enamel. The silhouette or portrait of the cameo is a faint, pale blue/green thin enamel and the silver is seen in relief through the enamel and shows through completely in one section. The section that is exposed is the side of the face with some flowers and hair curls in relief. It is a petite ...
STUNNING Rock Crystal Aqua Graduated Beads Strung On Chain

$85 USDSTUNNING Rock Crystal Aqua Graduated Beads Strung On Chain

Jewelry:Vintage:Necklaces
A glorious 17 inches long this beautiful, sparkling necklace will compliment any "ensemble", vintage or modern. This necklace is, however, vintage and dates from about the 1920's. I believe it to be the beads to be Czechoslovakian and strung on chain that is either white gold filled or sterling. I say this because the clasp is clearly marked 14K G.F. and I would assume the chain to be of similar material. The largest of the sparkling beads is 1/2 inch and the smallest aqua bead is a petite 3/8 ...
Amita Japan Damascene Three Piece Set, Marked Sterling, Circa 1950-1960

$145 USD Offers ConsideredAmita Japan Damascene Three Piece Set, Marked Sterling, Circa 1950-1960

Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling:Amita Japan, Damascene, Set
There's a dramatic look to this set...very sophisticated! The design is reminiscent of modernistic jewelry but in the same breath is current and up to date. Stunning silver on what looks to be black enamel. I think this black color was most likely achieved through oxidation of the metal. I'm not sure about that...take a close look at my scans and see what you think. The necklace consists of three center squares that measure about 3/4 inch square. These are flanked on each side by three smaller 1 ...
Retro WEISS Pin/Brooch And Earrings Set, Signed, Very 1950's-1960's

$125 USDRetro WEISS Pin/Brooch And Earrings Set, Signed, Very 1950's-1960's

Jewelry:Vintage:Pins/Brooches
Yikes,I have to admit that I sold this very set when it originally came out...circa the late 1950's or early 1960's! I was working part time at a department store (yes, there were still such things) while I was attending the university, before I got married. These are so NOW...to quote those much younger than I am. The colors are not only just perfect for the fall and winter months but they seem to be the current vogue. This set just sparkles with colored rheinstones in shades of brown and rust ...
Vintage Mid 20th Century Pin, Brooch In Shape Of An Owl, Modernist

$28 USDVintage Mid 20th Century Pin, Brooch In Shape Of An Owl, Modernist

Jewelry:Vintage:Pins/Brooches
If you're an owl collector then this little pin is for you! It's an interesting design reminiscent of the mid-century Danish designs. It has no markings. It appears to be made of brass and silver and measures 2" long by 1" wide.
Cocktail RING, Beautiful Mid-Century Design, 14K Gold Size 11

$135 USDCocktail RING, Beautiful Mid-Century Design, 14K Gold Size 11

Jewelry:Vintage:Rings:Mid-century, Cocktail Ring
This ring is a more than ample size and then to top it off it is adjustable. I have never seen a 14K gold ring that is adjustable before. Usually adjustable rings are very inexpensive varieties and not of the quality that this one is. I don't know the kind of stone as I am not a gemologist. I do know that when I look at it with my "naked eye" it appears to be a bluish green but when I took the pictures they came out with a purple tone. You may know what the stone is just by this description. It ...
Unusual Modernist Studio Made Belt Buckle, Mid-Century

$225 USDUnusual Modernist Studio Made Belt Buckle, Mid-Century

Jewelry:Vintage:Belt Buckle:Lost-wax:Artisan:Handmade
Isn't this "kitchy"!! I purchased this a couple of years ago from the proverbial 'little old lady'. Actually she was little and definitely old. Anyone older than I am is pretty old! She mentioned the name of the artist who made this mid century piece but, because I was going to keep it and not sell it, I promptly forgot the artisan's name. It isn't signed or marked in any way. I know it is silver and I presume that it is sterling and it was made with the 'lost wax' technique of casting metal. ...
SOLD CHARM Bracelet, 1960's Gold Filled and 14K Gold, "Charming"

SOLDSOLD CHARM Bracelet, 1960's Gold Filled and 14K Gold, "Charming"

Jewelry:Vintage:Bracelets:Charm, Gold, Gold Filled
Charm bracelets are so often filled with memories! Charms are collected from places traveled or from special occasions and often given as gifts. I am sorry this bracelet has gotten out of the hands of the original owner because it has charms that must have had special meaning. There are six charms on a gold filled chain that measures 7.25" long. Two of the charms are marked 14K, the disc with the building on it and the little shell. The disc with the building on it is quite soft and has been ...
SOLD Sweetheart LOCKET With Pictures of World War I Soldiers

SOLDSOLD Sweetheart LOCKET With Pictures of World War I Soldiers

Jewelry:Vintage:Sweetheart, Sweetheart, World War I, Locket
This sweet locket is hanging from a nice fine chain. The chain and the locket are not marked so I assume that they are gold toned or costume. The picture on the front is repeated on the inside along with another World War I era soldier. They look like they could be brothers and maybe they had given this locket to their mother or sister. Or maybe they're not related at all and some long ago young lady had two handsome sweethearts and she wore both of their pictures! The chain measures 18" and the ...
SOLD DECO Styling In A Stunning McClelland Barclay Brooch, Pin

SOLDSOLD DECO Styling In A Stunning McClelland Barclay Brooch, Pin

Jewelry:Vintage:Pins/Brooches
This designer only designed costume jewelry from 1935 until he was killed in World War II in 1943. He was active as a poster artist for the War Department until his untimely death. In this beautiful example of his fine work you can see the influence of the Deco style. Swirling plumes or leaves in gold tone plate on Rhodium are accented by equally swirling pave mounted rhinestones. The Rhodium seems to have been given an 'antiqued' gold tone which is much softer to the eye. This stunningly ...
