SALE Silver with Faux Malachite Mexican Snail Brooch

$25 USD SaleSALE Silver with Faux Malachite Mexican Snail Brooch

Jewelry:Vintage:Signed Florenza
This whimsical snail brooch is 2" high and 2 1/" across his body. It is marked "TO-27" and "Mexico." According the Hougart's "The Little Book of Mexican Silver Trade and Hallmarks" the marking T0-27 represents CDC - I assume these are the initials of the craftsman . This marks represent the place where the piece was crafted and the number for the craftsman. I have little doubt but that it is sterling, but it is not marked sterling or 925. It appears to be malachite, but it is not cold so I'm not ...

REDUCED Pot Metal Brooch with Large Blue Glass Center

$25 USD ReducedREDUCED Pot Metal Brooch with Large Blue Glass Center

Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Pot Metal Brooch With Large Blue Stone
This lovely Brooch is 3" long and 1 1/2" wide. It appears to be very old, but if there is a mark it is indistinguishable. I believe it to be Czechlosovakian, but this identification is based only on its similarity to many such pieces. It does fasten with a mechanical ring so it either dates past the very early part of the 20th century or the fastener has been replaced which does not appear to be the case. There are many pasted stones in the fame surrounding the 1 1/2" x 1" faceted blue glass ...

SALE Bow Brooch Signed Germany 18KGF

$15 USD SaleSALE Bow Brooch Signed Germany 18KGF

Jewelry:Vintage:Signed Germany 18k Gold Filled
This bow is quite dimensional - the loops are high and distinctive. It will stand out - literally. The marking is very hard to read, but it certain says "Germany" and "18K...." so I am sure that the lettering following represents gold filled. The brooch is constructed of smooth gold tone metal with a pattern of etched gold tone metal on the bow and the streamers. It measures 1 3/4" in width and 1 3/8" in length. It is almost 1" in depth which gives it an unusual three dimensional value. A truly ...
SALE Necklace Pink Glass Flowers with Rhinestone Centers

$40 USD SaleSALE Necklace Pink Glass Flowers with Rhinestone Centers

Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Gold Tone Necklace With Glass Flowers
It is hard not to believe that this lovely necklace was not made by either Trifari or Coro during the period late 1930's or the 1950's - a search for the patent has not been fruitful yet. The center piece with the pink glass flowers measures 1" at the top and 2 1/4" at the bottom. The chain is 12" long so the centerpiece lies at the nape of the neck. If the necklace is signed it is on the fastener and has been worn until it is not legible. This is a beautiful, dainty, older piece of costume ...

SALE Fabulous Unsigned Brooch

$60 USD SaleSALE Fabulous Unsigned Brooch

Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:A Fabulous Unsigned Beauty
This brooch comes a close to looking like "the real thing" as any costume piece I can remember. Of course, it isn't, but I do believe that it is made by one of the superior costume jewelry makers who failed to sign it. The brooch is 2 1/2" long and 1 1/4" wide.

The construction is extremely good. The date of this piece can be narrowed to between 1950 and 1958. Reis company which used he "CRco" signing operated only during this time. My picture show more need for cleaning that actually exists - I am now taking a course in Photoshop, and perhaps SOMEDAY I'll ...

The low carat rose gold is seen on the back of the brooch - it has a ring for a ...
