This wonderful pair of double sided links is an amalgam of late 19th and early 20th century design influences. The fine radiating guilloche, or engine turned centers, are overlaid with a delicate Japanesque foliate pattern, the whole being surrounded with a border showing characteristics of both Art Nouveau and Art Deco influences. A stunning compendium. The technique of 'guilloche', or 'engine turning', displayed on these links, is all but a lost art today, requiring complicated, antique ...

$150 USD Offers ConsideredNorwegian Enamel on Silver Art Deco Brooch or Pin w/ Ram Design by J. Tostrup - Norway
Jewelry:Antique
Classic Art Deco. This wonderful, bright pin is a quintessential example of early 20th C streamlined design. With it's red-orange ram set against a black ground, even the colors are bold and modern. It was very difficult to photograph this piece, and I have included two views of the front. The first, with relatively solid color is a pretty realistic depiction of what the piece looks like to the eye in color and form. The second view shows the transparency of the enamel, and the underlying ...
$130 USD Offers ConsideredPair of Scalloped Green Bakelite Bracelets - Creamed Spinach
Jewelry:Vintage
This fine pair of Bakelite bracelets would look great worn on it's own, but would also serve admirably as a pair of spacers between or around other wider bangles in your collection.

This pair tests positive for bakelite with both Simichrome and 409. The center opening measures 2 1/2" in diameter, and the bracelets are 1/8" thick. The measurement ...

$275 USD Offers ConsideredThree in One - Sterling Silver Paste Heart Brooch - Watch Pin - Pendant - Fine
Jewelry:Antique
There was a day when fashionable Victorian ladies wore their watches hanging from watch pins. This adaptable example can also be worn as a pendant, or a brooch all on it's own. It may win in the versatility department, but its main virtue, I would say, is its glittering paste jewels. My favorite feature of this beauty is the variety in sizes of the paste stones. There are tiny pastes between the small ones which are everywhere, the surface is simply covered... jammed... paved with little ...

Jewelry:Antique
This lovely cut steel pin will add a bit of antique sparkle to a lapel. Cut steel has been made for many centuries. Although first meant to imitate the sparkle of diamonds, and sometimes referred to as 'poor man's diamonds, it was always desirable in it's own right, and never considered a poor substitute. It has a beautiful, subtle shimmer, and really does look a bit like old rose-cut diamonds. Each piece of steel is individually faceted, and then attached to a brass or metal backing. In this ...
