The Grosse family, a famous German jewelry firm which opened their doors in 1907 by the name of Henkel and Grosse, is known for high quality craftmanship and design. In the 1950's they were asked to produce costume jewelry for Christian Dior which carries the label Dior West Germany.

This solid mesh chain is very flexible as ...
$179 USDChristian Dior & Carnegie-Set- Match Made in Heaven!
Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Dior:Carnegie:Swarovski Rhinestones
I found this necklace and pair of earrings in the same well know summer town on the east coast famous for big mansions along the shoreline-at different locations and wonder if they had been a set to begin with since they are perfect together. That is why I am listing them as a set, offering you the ultimate collector's dream of Hattie Carnegie clip earrings paired with a Christian Dior choker necklace-both signed and in near mint condition. In the book called Popular Jewelry of the '60's, '70's ...
$345 USDHattie Carnegie Brooch & Earrings Set-Dramatic Yet Demure!

This oversized statement of the ultimate, chic brooch offers a delightful combination of faux pearls and green art glass cabochons set in bright, textured goldtone finish, accented with sparkling clear rhinestones! It comes with the matching signed earrings. I would date this from late 1950-60's. Almost from the start, Carnegie's clientele were many famous socialites and artists including Joan Crawford. Her jewelry, relatively speaking, was always expensive and now is very collectible due to her ...
$119 USDKJL (Kenneth J. Lane) Faux Rocks, Minerals and Gemstones Brooch
Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Kenneth J. Lane
This is like a miner's bonanza all in one! Not only is it huge-measuring 2.75 " square, it is a riot of sizes, shapes, colors and cuts all in one that somehow comes together. But, we should know that when Kenneth J. Lane designs jewelry, he is very creative, mingling fun and style. All of the rhinestones are prong set in white metal. The mix includes cabochons, faceted cuts and 5 open backs. It is a FAB piece for hip fashion plates that just want to have fun!
$95 USDGivenchy Necklace-Pink Floral Pendant in Rich Goldtone
Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Double Chains:Givenchy Logo:Plastic Accents
The House of Givenchy opened in Paris in 1952 and has been influential since then for elegant style epitomized by Audrey Hepburn. Givenchy's jewelry features classic designs with much use of gold plating, Lucite and other plastics. This charming necklace has all of those components making this a stunning example of quality this company is known for. I think the pink cab centers of these five flowers are a plastic material that bounces the light brightly. The metal work is multi-dimensional and ...
$96 USDGIVENCHY Brooch-Floral Motif-Dreamy Deep Purple Petals
Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Faceted Faux-amethyst:Aurora Borealis Rhinestones
The House of Givenchy opened in Paris in 1952, by Hubert de Givenchy. After working with many giants in the fashion industry he began his own accessory line. Today, Givenchy is marketed by the Victoria & Co Group which also handles Richelieu and Napier jewelry. The most collectible Givenchy designs to look for utilize beautiful enamels and rhinestones like this incredible brooch. Signed in the all caps cartouche with gold-plating, this is in mint condition.

$52 USDDeltah-Cultured Pearl-12 KT-Gold Filled-Screwback Earrings
Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Original Box:Dangles:Signed:1/20 12kt Gf
Deltah Pearls was established way back in 1892, by M. J. Karpeles. It was purchased by L. Heller & Son, Inc. at the turn of the century with offices in New York city. In 1950 Heller teamed up with Sperry and now they are called Imperial-Deltah Group in Rhode Island. These sweet dangle earrings are screwbacks with the mark of a capital H inside a triangle with 1/20-12K G.F. around it. I would say these are circa 1930-40's. If you visit their new website they have a great timeline of the company ...

Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Navettes:Swarovski Stones:Mint Condition

$79 USDOriental Pendant/Bonsai Tree Design/Goldtone Trim & Rope Chain
Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Jade:Semi-precious Stones:Rope Chain Necklace
A very ornate Bonsai tree in a square pot, decorated with two lovely oval opals which are in excellent condition, is the center focus for this very special pendant necklace. The opals look real to me with their fiery flashes of reds and bright greens. I do not detect any layers one would see with triplet opals. As an owner of fine opals, I am very comfortable saying they look real to me. I cannot say what the other small seven prong set stones are but they add colorful interest to the tree limbs ...
$97 USDKramer of New York Brooch-Faux Emeralds & Diamentes-Regal Elegance
Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Christian Dior
Kramer Jewelry began in New York in 1943 and lasted until the 1970's. It was started by Louis Kramer who teamed up with his 2 brothers to create glamorous quality and design costume jewelry, attracting the attention of Christian Dior in the 1950's who commissioned them to represent his design house. Kramer was responsible for all production of Dior Jewelry in the US. When I first discovered this brooch I was sure it was by Dior but was equally pleased to discover Kramer of New York as I am a ...
$155 USDFestoon Necklace-European Origin-Ornamental Decadence!
Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:10 Prong Settings:Medallions:Ornate Metalwork
An unsigned wonder that is the epitome of Transitional styling of the early 1900's. Because almost every outstanding rhinestone is in a 10 prong setting, I believe this was made in Europe. There are 3 rows of large brilliant cuts swooning between two ornate medallions. What a sensational combination of colors! Please note the careful extension made in the single row near the hook closure. I noticed on one side nearing the back the round trays have an addition of 3" of square trays in the ...
$125 USDSwarovski Pegasus Brooch-Limited Edition-Swan Logo
Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Pave Rhinestones:Horse:Limited Edition
Swarovski, the world's leading supplier of unrivaled quality crystal stones to the jewelry industry since 1892, launched its first line of fashion jewelry in 1985, featuring its clear crystal rhinestones. This company invented a mechanical stone cutter that could shape and facet large quantities of equally perfect stones. I remember being intrigued and amazed while shopping in malls during this time-span and finding the jewelry shops where Swarovski had displays to see what was new. They were ...
$95 USDFur Clip by Kreisler MFG Corp-Faux Sapphires-Shell Motif with Dangles
Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Invisible Set Stones
Kreisler opened it's doors in 1913. Since then there have been several partners and product lines. By the 1940's Jacques Kreisler concentrated on watchbands and by 1948 began jewelry which lasted until the 1950's. This is the right time line for fur clips. I was expecting to see this signed by Boucher but was equally thrilled to find the Kreisler cursive signature hidden on the side of the invisible set faux sapphires! Measuring 3" top to bottom and 1.25" shell width, this very special piece ...

Let this warm goldtone, jaunty pin adorn your sweaters, coats and blazers throughout the entire ...
$89 USDJuliana Brooch-Royal Red & Purple Navette Cuts with Rivoli Stone Accent
Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Open-back Rhinestones
Unsigned as usual for Juliana pieces, this has all the components to accurately assume that this is one of their sumptuous brooches. I have identified a matching bracelet in the book Costume Jewelry 101 by Julia Carroll on page 306. Juliana was made by DeLizza and Elster, a company founded in 1947 who made jewelry for many of the top brands. In 1967-68 they made their own line which we call Juliana and as we all know, has become incredibly popular to collect. This large brooch measures 2.5" top ...
$37 USDFaux Persian Torquoise & Pearl Clip/Pin Set in Dazzling Faux Gold Presentation
Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Clip:Pin:Faux Torquoise
A very intriguing piece of high quality costume jewelry, this is the ultimate summer statement.

The color of this large cabochon cut stone (which measures 3/4" in diameter) is so refreshing that one dreams about diving in and cooling off. Also, check out the nice metal work detailing on the edge adding distinction to the design. The back ...

Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Mazer:Plumes:Demi-parure
Swirling feathers in bright, textured golden tones are accented with a row of inset faux diamonds curving beside the big multi-dimensional feather. Jomaz is a name to look for. It was started by Joseph Mazer-one of the brothers of the Mazer business, who created exquisite costume jewelry from 1946-1981. The name is a combination of his name Jo and Maz. His brother Lincoln ran the Mazer Bros. business until 1951. Both were known for wonderful quality and design and at one point Marcel Boucher ...
$87 USDBeatles Pendant Necklace Signed NEMS ENT LTD
Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Memorabilia:Souvenirs:Pop Rock:Fab Four:Mop Tops
I couldn't believe my eyes when they landed on this iconic souvenir tucked away in a jam packed antique mall on the east coast. The tunes and memories came flooding back as I held it. "She loves me-yeah yeah yeah..." Now that I have been researching it, this seems to be the rare pocket watch style pendant with the Mop Tops photo on the front with their signatures-Ringo, John, George and Paul on the back in raised relief. The light-weight goldtone metal work is ornate and does show a little wear. ...

Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Domed Glass Stones:Floral Motif:Large Clip
This charming, large brass dress clip comes with four generous faux topaz cabochons, mounted in claw prongs. (Please note that in my photos they took on a reddish tinge but are more golden in real life.) The clip has ornate floral detail and has a solid snap closure. This measures just over 2" wide and 1.5" top to bottom. A perfect accessory to adorn your blazer, sweater or Spring coat. In the book Language of Flowers, tulip means fame. Enjoy!

$98 USDDeNicola Fantasy Rustic Bow Brooch-3 Dangles-Ornate Design-Faux Gems
Jewelry:Vintage:Costume
Hard to come by, DeNicola jewelry was made from 1957-1970 in New York City and is known for designs with oversized cabochons in various colors and materials as evidenced in this fascinating piece. The two faux cabachon emeralds and a square faux sapphire accent swirling metalwork along the top part of the bow. The three dangles with a large faux cabachon ruby in the center of white petals is fun and dramatic. Measuring three inches long and two inches top to bottom of the dangles, this brooch ...

$59 USDBartek-Ornate Goldtone Dangle Earrings-Large Light & Bright
Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Har:Rebajes:Bergere:Napier
Oh-boy! These are amazing and by a rarely seen name that is good to know about! Bartek designed for Napier in the late 1930's and went on to start his own company located in Connecticut with his son. It is believed to have continued into the 1950's before closing. I have read elsewhere he also worked for Rebajes, Har and Bergere. His pieces are extremely coveted by collectors. This dramatic pair of clip earrings makes a fantastic fashion statement. As I write this I am wearing them and they are ...
$155 USDTrifari Fruit Salad Demi-Parure-Faux Turquoise Carved Fruit
Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Carved Stones:Choker Necklace:Matching Earrings
Crown Trifari set from the early 1960's celebrates the classic design by Alfred Philippe originally produced in the 1930's under their first moniquer KTF. Not as formal as those early sets, this version reflects a more modern design set in Florentine goldtone links accented with white leaves. Also, each piece of fruit is separated by small beads of the same color adding interest. Notice the matching earrings have both left and right design which is a sign of higher quality production. Hard to ...

Jewels by Deltah circa 1950-60's. The original company began in 1892 and sold in 1900 to Mr. Heller who later teamed up with Sperry.

$55 USDPastel Yellow Flower Clip Earrings-Huge Rhinestones-Unsigned Beauties
Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Teardrop Cuts:Faceted Rhinestones
I know we all like to have signed pieces but how can you pass up this caliber of costume jewelry when you find it? The rest of the set is out there somewhere but as they say, "A bird in hand is better than 2 in the bush!" I am reminded of Kramer sets when studying these stones. In each clip earring, there are 9 large fully faceted tear-drop cuts in the sheerest pastel lemon yellow. There is a large brilliant cut in the center making the flower design complete. They make quite a statement as they ...
