$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 ...
$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 ...

This lovely cut steel pin will add a bit of antique sparkle to a lapel. Cut steel has been made for many centuries.
