$850 USDGeorg Jensen Vermeil Sterling & Enamel Daisy Bracelet
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Vintage:Georg Jensen
Jensen is well known for his daisy (Margarethe) jewelry. It is the favorite flower of the royal family. This bracelet with the vermeil (gold plate) appears to currently be discontinued. The Georg Jensen Inc. website only lists it in sterling at this time. The bracelet has marks for post WWII as well as 925 S for the vermeil (gold plated) sterling & Denmark. The bracelet is in excellent plus condition. We find no evidence of repairs to the sterling & it has it's original closure. The vermeil is ...
$295 USDLovely Paisley Pattern Silver Victorian Cuff Bracelet
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Antique:Fine Victorian
I love the detailed paisley pattern on this cuff. I am not sure if it is rolled or stamped but a lot of work went into making it's die. Every bit of that fine pattern work has small interior curved lines. When you look at the interior you can see that the closure flange was handmade & the notch for the clasp release & notches for hinge area were hand cut. Also the solid rims, flange, clasp release & hinge were all hand soldered to their areas. Lots of hand finish work. But what is even better is ...
$695 USD14Kt Coral Cameo Ring W/Accent Of 2 Diamonds
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Antique:Fine Carved, Cameo
On our ring gauge pole the size is a 7. We feel in it's first life it was Grandma's cameo pin and someone had it turned into a ring. It is an absolutely lovely light peachy pink in color. The cameo has no chips or cracks. In her frame she is surrounded by 4 flowers, 8 leaves & 4 curly Q's & then accented w/2 small diamonds at the top & bottom. As you can see from the backside picture she was then applied to a openwork platform attached to the ring shank. She is 1 1/2 tall x 7/8" at widest point. ...
$465 USD14Kt Gold Ladies Watch Chain W/ Jeweled 14Kt Slide
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Antique:Fine Victorian
This delightfully feminine 14kt watch chain is adorned w/a 14Kt slide that is jeweled w/ 7 turq. beads & a small diamond in the center of the star. Viewed w/naked eye you see no problems. Viewing that 1/32" bead with the black line w/a 10 power loop- the line is a crack & bead has a side chip. Don't let this bother you-the bead is so small. The slide is 5/16" in dia. & 3/16" deep. The chain is approx 48" long making a 24" neck opening. The standard rope chain is 1/16" wide. The slide has no drag ...
$495 USDGeorg Jensen Sterling Dolphin Pin # 251
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Vintage:Georg Jensen
This 1933-44 (per an internet silver marks website) pin is so delightful with the leaping Dolphins. The pin has lovely dimension as one Dolphin is over the other with that stylish leaf stem placed over both of them. Even the pin's rim is two different heights. The pin is in excellent plus condition with no rips, dents, cracks or repairs. The clasp & hinge are original & in working order. The pin stick is original with just a hint of a wave from usage & point is good. The marks are on the ...
$2,495 USDGeorg Jensen GI Mark Sterling Necklace & Bracelet Set
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Vintage:Georg Jensen
This circa 1915 GI mark set is super. With it's tailored design you can wear it with jeans at play or with that dress/suit in the office. It is in superb, excellent, original condition with no repairs found. We believe the set to have always been together since both bracelet & necklace have the GI & 925 mark. The tie bar style closure pin on the necklace is also marked GI but is 830 silver. Our guess is either an 830 bar got in the 925 parts box or Jensen was using up their 830 bars. I have ...
$1,850 USDTwo Color 14Kt. Gold & Essex Crystal Bracelet - Pheasant & Hunting Dogs
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Vintage:Fine Gold & Gem
Essex crystal items this well done & in this kind of excellent condition can be hard to find. Essex crystal is a form of reverse painting. They take a rock crystal cabochon (clear quartz) and cut the backside (intaglio). They then paint the intaglio and finish the back, usually with mother of pearl. There are molded glass imitations, sometimes mounted in gold, of Essex Crystals. Not the same thing or the same value. Our three crystals appear to have the mother of pearl shimmering background. ...
$1,895 USDWilliam Spratling Sterling Bracelet & Pin Set
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
The pieces to this wonderful set are quite impressive with their large size & substantial weight (6.4 ozs on my postage scale). The sterling is in excellent condition with no rips, deep scratches, dents, cracked seams or repairs. The two hinges for connecting the bracelet medallions are original & in smooth working order. The alignment for where the two ends of the bracelet fit together for closure is in excellent condition. To close a pin fits thru design holes in three sections. You can see ...
$2,595 USDCrossman 14k Gold, Amethyst & Diamond Art Nouveau Necklace
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Antique:Fine Art Nouveau
This circa 1905 necklace is so beautifully designed & has such style I'm not sure where to start. In the necklace are 12 european cut diamonds (1/4ct. total weight), 4 faceted amethysts & 6 cultured fresh water pearls. The center focal point is a lovely cast 14k yellow gold swirl. It has a somewhat florentine looking top surface made up of fine pattern lines. The top of the swirl has 3 prong mounted diamonds & in the center is a prong mounted round amethyst. There are then 3 diamonds in each ...
$1,495 USDTiffany - Paloma Picasso 18kt. Gold Pin & Earring Set
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Vintage:Fine Gold & Gem
Per info found on the Internet Paloma Picasso (daughter of Pablo Picasso) started designing jewelry for Tiffany in 1980. The set is evidently discontinued as I did not find it on Tiffany's web site under Paloma's jewelry as still being offered for sale. The pin & earrings are marked: C (copyright mark) 1983, Tiffany & Co., 18K & the Paloma Picasso signature. The set is in excellent, un-repaired condition. The pin stick is straight, with a good point. The clasp is original with a working security ...
$275 USDDavid Andersen Sterling Modernism Earrings
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
These super pierced earrings match our David Andersen-Ostern designed necklace (Item # 598). The only marks on both earrings are one of the Andersen hallmarks-no Ostern designer mark. But if you look at the necklace you will see that they definitely were made to go together. The sterling is in excellent condition with no dents, chomps, deep scratches, missing pieces or repairs. The center focal point is a gemstone. We believe it to possibly be Amazonite as the Andersen company appeared to use ...
$4,995 USDMan's 14kt. Nugget & Gold Quartz Bracelet
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Vintage:Fine Gold & Gem
This circa 1975 bracelet is probably one of a kind. From the appearance of the backside of the links we believe this to have been custom hand made by a goldsmith. There are 8 pattern links and the 2 closure ends which make up this approx 7 3/4" long x 5/8" wide bracelet. All 10 pieces have a slight graceful curve shape as well as round hinges between each piece to give the bracelet good movement & a comfortable fit. The pattern links started out with a frame that had a piece of gold quartz ...
$1,695 USDVictorian 14kt. Diamond & Cultured Pearl Pin Pendent
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Antique:Fine Victorian
This circa 1900 14kt yellow gold pin/pendent is in outstanding condition. The 9 cultured pearls appear to be all original & are a soft light cream in color. The 9 diamonds are of graduated sizes for design purposes. They are of different cuts (some are replacements) and total 1ct. in weight. They each have been prong mounted into a buttercup solitaire mount. The bottom points of the crescent & the center of the 8 gold buds between the pearls have hand engraved accents. The pin & locking clasp ...
$495 USDScottish Sterling, Agate & Gem Pin Pendant Dated 1862
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Antique:Fine Victorian
Queen Victoria loved Scotland & was very proud of her Stuart ancestry. In 1848 she & Albert bought Balmoral in Scotland. Scottish influenced jewelry began to appear at this time & was considered to be a necessary fashion accessory. This super condition pin pendant combo has a lot of hand work!. The sterling shield shape mounting is cast but all of that fine line design work is hand engraved. The rope trim at the top of the crown & all of the collar mountings for the gems have been hand applied. ...
$995 USDGeo. W. Shiebler Sterling Medallion Bracelet
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Antique:Fine Victorian
Shiebler was especially noted for his medallion items that were inspired by the excavations at Pompeii & Herculaneum. We are pleased to be able to offer two of his circa 1890 bracelets at this time-Item's 376 & 377. This wonderful adjustable bracelet from end to end measures approx 7" & is 5/8" wide. When you take into account the dangling medallions it is 1 7/16" wide. The bracelet has a surface of a hammered texture/pattern with a male & female stamped/rolled medallion approx 1 1/4" from each ...
$1,695 USDGeorg Jensen Vermeil Sterling & Enamel Daisy Necklace
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Vintage:Georg Jensen
Jensen is well known for his daisy (Margarethe) jewelry. It is the favorite flower of the royal family. This necklace appears to currently be discontinued in both silver and vermeil. The Georg Jensen Inc. website does not list it at this time. The necklace has marks for post WWII as well as 925 S for the vermeil (gold plated) sterling. The necklace is in excellent plus condition. We find no evidence of repairs to the sterling & it appears to even have it's original closure. The vermeil is also ...
$450 USDDelightful English 9Kt Gold & Cultured Pearl Photo Pin
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Antique:Fine Victorian
This great pin's center pops out to insert a picture of that special person in your life. The window fits very firmly! The photo is then accented by half pearls. When viewing with a loop all pearls appear to be original except for one. They used an old pearl of great color match. The only reason I found it was the prong mounting. The pin & C clasp look to be original. We find no repairs. The backside is marked 9ct. gold as well as a makers mark. The makers mark was not as deep as the ct mark so ...
$1,250 USDGeo. W. Shiebler Sterling & 14K Gold Medallion Bracelet
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Antique:Fine Victorian
Shiebler was especially noted for his medallion items that were inspired by the excavations at Pompeii & Herculaneum. We are pleased to be able to offer two of his circa 1890 bracelets at this time-Item's 376 & 377. This wonderful adjustable bracelet from end to end measures approx 9 1/4" & is 7/16" wide. The exterior surface of the bracelet has a hammered texture/pattern with accents cut in of 8 lightning bolts, a center design & occasional notched like edges. It's Greek motif is completed with ...
$3,495 USDGucci 18Kt. Gold Necklace With Enamel Accented Indian Heads
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Vintage:Fine Gold & Gem
This circa 1980 necklace has three American Indian Chief plaques. The plaques have been silver soldered onto their identically shaped frames. The center one is approx 5/8" in dia. & the other two are almost 1/2" in dia. The plaques have been accented with free flow colored enamels. Due to the fact it is a flow on enamel it is close to impossible to tell if any is chipped or missing. But if I would have to take a guess I would say it is a good 98% there. With a loop I feel there is some loss to ...
$185 USDSterling, Marcasite & Carved Ivory Pin Circa 1935
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
I love these carved ivory rose pins. They put such wonderful detail into the carving. Look at the realistic curves & rims to the petals. This one was done by a great carver as he even added fine definition lines & notches to the petals. The company then took the extra expense to color the rose. They didn't do just yellow but added hints of red with a light, soft touch to give the interior of the petals depth & dimension. Just beautiful work. The ivory is in excellent plus condition with no ...
$1,495 USDTiffany - Paloma Picasso 18kt. Gold & Diamond Heart Pin
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Vintage:Fine Gold & Gem
This delightful pin would make a wonderful gift for that special woman. The heart has what appears to be it's original 18 prong mounted diamonds in graduated sizes for a total of a 1/4 ct. The entire pin is 18kt. gold. I love the design of the feathers on the arrow being X's - the universal symbol for kisses. They discreetly put the hallmarks on the side of the mounting. They were so small that you can't read them in my photo so here they are: TIFFANY & CO. - the C copyright mark - Paloma ...
$375 USDDavid Andersen / Ostern Designed Sterling Modernism Pendant / Necklace
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
This David Andersen pendant has such great style. It looks particularly wonderful on the D.A. collar it was designed for. Most buyers selected the chain instead of the collar when they purchased this design. BORING! Still, the pendant slides easily off the collar and can be worn on a chain for a different look. Both the collar & pendant piece are sterling & marked David Andersen. The pendant piece has the addition of the designer mark for: Bjorn Sigurd Ostern. Per an internet site Ostern worked ...
$595 USDSterling Cuff Links with a Black Boy - Alligator Motif
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Antique:Fine Victorian
These circa 1900 cuff links where probably a souvenir from Florida or Georgia. They will be an outstanding addition for either a cuff link or Black memorabilia collector. They are in excellent, un-repaired condition with no dents, holes or cracks. These were very well made. The boy's face/head has wonderful detailed design in excellent well defined condition. The alligator's even have eyes & lines in their feet for claws. Both backsides of the heads have the marks of: "G. & C. CO." (either the ...
$365 USDGeorg Jensen 830 Silver GI Mark Pin #170
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Vintage:Georg Jensen
This circa 1925 Jensen pin is in excellent original condition. Pattern is well defined & hi points are still poofy. It has no cracks, splits, holes or repairs. It still has it's original French clasp in working order. The two minute holes you see by the mark are suppose to be there. They are there to allow heat to escape when the pin clasp was attached. Pin stick is straight & end has a good point. Size is 1 11/16" long x 3/4" wide thru center.
$1,495 USD14Kt. Gold Florentine Finish & Diamond Bracelet Circa 1960
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Vintage:Fine Gold & Gem
This lovely bracelet weighs 28 grams and has 5 brilliant cut diamonds for a total of approx. 42 pt's. Florentine finish is done with a series of hand engraved lines run in opposing directions (cross hatched) & is sometimes called a brushed finish. The finish is in excellent condition with no worn down to smooth gold areas-that is reflection in my photos. It has a nice fine lined cross hatched look. With my 10 power loop I can find a couple heavier lines (largest is 5/32") that I believe to just ...
$750 USD14kt. Gold & Carved Coral Cameo Pierced Earrings - Circa 1875
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Antique:Fine Carved, Cameo
These wonderful dangling earrings are all original with no repairs-even the ear wires look original. We find no missing, cracked or broken gold pieces. The earrings have no gold marks as usually is the case in this time period. Rich acid tested & we guarantee them to be a minimum of 14kt. The acid test will not tell the difference between 14kt. & 15 kt. Due to their style they may be 15kt. from England. The flat gold oval encircling the dangling cameo on both earrings has faint/light spots of ...
$995 USD14kt. Gold & Diamond Tiger Head Cuff Links
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Vintage:Fine Gold & Gem
These circa 1960 cuff links are just fabulous. It just amazes us that someone did not have pride in their work & put their makers hallmark on them. The tiger faces are very dimensional. The nose (highest point) stands out 3/8" from the heads flat backside. I can't decide if the interior of the tiger head is slightly hollow (double wall construction) as there are no air holes unless they were the eyes & mouth before the diamonds were inserted. The links weigh 15 grams & are quit substantial at ...
$650 USD14Kt. Gold, Cultured Pearl & Amethyst Art Nouveau Pendent - C. 1900
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Antique:Fine Art Nouveau
I think this pendent is just delightful. When I look at it I think of a butterfly. The pendent mounting is a lovely, multiple of high polished, fine, cast gold parts soldered together by the smith-not a clunky one piece casting like you find today. It has been mounted with 3 pearls & 3 amethysts. The pearls are a soft ivory in color. The center amethyst is a collar mounted oval approx. 3/8" tall x 9/32 (1/4" +) wide with the 2 briolette dangles being approx 3/8" tall below their gold caps. All ...
$595 USD14kt. Gold Indian Chief Motif Cuff Links, c.1890
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Antique:Fine Victorian
These circa 1890 cuff links have a great design of an American Indian Chief in his war bonnet. The front portion of the links are double wall. This means the Indian head was stamped out & then attached to it's straight backside. So between the Indian head & backside the piece is hollow. The oval egg shaped ends of the cuff links are also hollow. The cuff links are in excellent condition as there are no dents in the hollow pieces. The Indian Chief's facial features are well defined & poofy. You ...
$1,295 USD14kt. Gold, Diamond & Turquoise Dragonfly Pin - Circa 1960
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Vintage:Fine Gold & Gem
This dragonfly is delightful with his detailed design-he even has legs. He has wonderful life like curve to that long body & those openwork wings. The body has been set with graduated sizes of turquoise cabochons. The jeweler then mounted 12 rose cut diamonds in each of the four wings for a total of 48 rose cuts, at least 1/2 carat total wt. The turquoise cabochons appear to be all original but have a slight color difference as evident in photos. All of the rose cuts appear to be original with ...
