$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 ...
$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 ...
$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 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 ...
$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 ...
$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 ...
$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 ...
$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 ...
$895 USDFrench 800 Silver & Enamel Lorgnette Pendent
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
Some of these 1920's lorgnette's that fold up become wonderful pins & pendents & this example is one of the best. It's cast, oval shaped, pendent frame top has indentations that have been filled with 3 colors of enamel, several sizes of marcasites & a small center cabochon chrysoprase.. The sides of the pendent frame have a beautiful leaf pattern in the silver. They then continued the leaf design idea on the pendent bail (also mounted with marcasites) & onto the center front side of the lens ...
$295 USD835 Silver & Amber Art Deco Bracelet - Circa 1930
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
This Deco bracelet has 6 wonderful butterscotch colored, gracefully rounded, polished rectangles of amber with the top & bottom rims having a somewhat curved arch shaped facet (photo # 3). The amber rectangles are firmly seated in their silver frames. They all appear to be original to bracelet as I see no disruption to the frames. They measure approx. 13/16" wide x 1 1/8" tall. The amber is all intact with no cracks, chips, nicks, deep scratches or repairs. You can of course find the occasional ...
$2,250 USDRetro 14kt. Rose & White Gold, Diamond & Ruby Ring
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Vintage:Fine Gold & Gem
The Retro period was approx. 1938-1952. This great ring is a lovely example of that period at some of it's best. The ring mounting & shank are a beautiful, rich rose gold. The mounting area has great design flow & depth with swirls, curls, open work areas & definition lines in the leaves that hold the eleven smaller diamonds. The smith used white gold to mount the two largest diamonds as well as the extending stems & prongs for the other four medium sized diamonds. The gold is in excellent ...
$1,750 USD14K Yellow Gold Rosary
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Vintage:Fine Gold & Gem
This beautiful Rosary weighs 30 grams of 14K gold. It is marked 14 & a partial hallmark for maker on the base of the Cross. It was tested in several places to be sure it was not assembled from various parts. The 7/8" figure of Christ was cast & then applied to the Cross. There is surface wear to the hi points of the crown of thorns, his nose & chin. You will note a pin point size hole in the base of the Cross where marks are placed. This is NOT damage. This was necessary for the Cross to breath ...
$650 USD14Kt. Gold, 3 Diamonds & Synthetic Sapphire Bracelet Circa 1925
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Vintage:Fine Gold & Gem
We got this great straight line Art Deco filigree bracelet at a super price & are now passing our bargain on to you. The bracelet is comprised of 14kt. white gold open work filigree links. There are 5 links mounted with frames containing the gemstones. The frames contain 3 prong mounted, approx. 5pt. each, European cut diamonds & 2 frames with collar mounted synthetic blue sapphires. Small rubies & sapphires, used as color accents in jewelry of this period, are usually synthetic even though the ...
$165 USDFrench Sterling, Carnelian, Marcasite & Coral Pin Circa 1925
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
This pin is great with it's unusual shape & center decor. The carnelian center is a flat, high polished 1 5/16" tall x 3/4" wide x 3/32" deep rectangle with cut corners & thin/fine beveled rims. The carnelian has no chips, scratches, cracks or repairs. With my loop I found a 1/32" nick between the far right coral cabochon & marcasite leaf (photo # 2) & one of those pesky flea bites on the left side beveled rim that might be a cutting oops. The carnelian has been decorated with a planter ...
$3,750 USDDeco Platinum, Diamond & Kunzite Pendent & Pierced Earring Set
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Vintage:Platinum & Gem
This circa 1920 set is just wonderful. In the center of the pendent is a large round faceted Kunzite. It is named after mineralogist G.F. Kunz who first described this gem in 1902. Kunzite comes in several colors-ours is the long recognized light violet. The balance of the gems in the set are an approx 2ct. total weight of 9 mine cut diamonds comprised of an approx four different sizes. All gems are collar mounted & appear original to set. The platinum mountings have lovely open filigree work as ...
$895 USD14kt Gold, Garnet, Moonstone, Spinal & Diamond Floral Retro Pin
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Vintage:Fine Gold & Gem
This pin is absolutely super. I love the use of the mixed gemstones giving the pin color & retro style. Red, white and blue was the popular color combo in retro jewelry. We have 5 faceted garnet petals on each of three flowers for a total of 15 garnets. Each of the flowers has a cabochon moonstone center for a total of 3 moonstones. There are then 3 faceted blue spinals & a small diamond to accent stems. The moonstones are collar mounted & all faceted stones are prong mounted. We believe all ...
$3,450 USD18Kt. Yellow Gold Ring With A 8.7ct. Opal & 2.4ct. Of Diamonds
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Vintage:Fine Gold & Gem
This ring is STUNNING! My pictures DO NOT do it justice. It is a circa 1960 European made dinner ring. It has the European mark of 750 for 18kt. gold on it's interior shank as well as a worn mark that may say Italy or be the makers mark. We also acid tested entire ring to verify it's gold. The 8.7ct cabochon opal just shimmers with many colors. It has no cracks or chips. We feel the 20 12pt. brilliant cut diamonds are all original as they match so well. They show lightly gray in all photos-they ...
$1,395 USDGeorg Jensen Sterling Bracelet # 15 - GJ Mark - Circa 1935
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Vintage:Georg Jensen
This early bracelet is in such superb condition that I feel it was not worn very much. The sterling is in excellent plus condition. Those six curved flower motifs have their original un-dented curves with raised accent lines that are in excellent plus well defined condition. The center of the flower has a collar mounting rim that would contain various cabochon shaped items. Our bracelet has the silver bead like cabochons inserted into the six flowers as well as the clasp. The beads are again ...
$595 USDGeorg Jensen Mixed Metal Bar Pin Circa 1933/43
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Vintage:Georg Jensen
This lovely bar pin is comprised of iron & silver. The Jensen company used iron in jewelry due to their (Jensen Co.) reaction to the great depression allowing their customers to purchase jewelry at a more affordable price. They continued the practice during WWII due to the shortage of silver. These mixed metal pins can be hard to find as they are very desirable to Jensen jewelry collectors due to their short manufacturing period. The bar pin is iron with fine lines of silver inlay. They then ...
$2,495 USDGeorg Jensen Sterling & Garnet Bracelet #3 - GI Mark -Circa 1915

$1,295 USD14K Yellow Gold Snake Chain
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Vintage:Fine Gold & Gem
This lovely Retro period snake chain has a deep, rich patina. It has wonderful, slinky movement-not stiff like the modern chains. The Retro period was approx. 1938-52.
