These stones, also prong set, are AB in lighter shades of amber or gold. The setting is a mellow gold tone which has developed a soft patina. I have not done anything to this pin. It is 2 inches in diameter. The C clasp is secure and intact.

$35 USDLiztech "98 Handmade Pin
Jewelry:Vintage
This beautiful handmade pin is signed by the artist, "Liztech" and dated 1998. It is a large butterfly shape. The back is a bright mirror or reflective surface. The pattern is created by wrapping beads on wire around the body of the back ground. It's quite different; at least, its different than anything I've ever seen. I did find a reference to the artist. Her name is Jill Elizabeth, from Pennsylvania. She started out by making pieces from old recycled costume jewelry. Her new pieces sell in ...

Jewelry:Vintage
If you are familiar with Friendship jewelry from the 1940's, you will recognize the back of this pin as the link to a popular bracelet from that time. This pin is marked Sterling. It is a Son in Service pin. The blue star in the white field inside a red frame represents a son in active duty during war time. This pin has the insignia of the US Navy. I have left the patina with this soft dark color as so many collectors prefer.
$24 USDSterling Silver Moveable Wringer Washer Charm
Jewelry:Vintage:Charms
This vintage charm is marked sterling silver. It moves; the handle rotates. This is, of course, the old hand wringer for laundry. The charm is 3/4" tall. I date this to the 40's or 50's based on the delicacy of the workmanship.

This is a lovely flexible blue rhinestone bracelet. The stones are three different kinds, all prong set. The center row are cabachons, alternating between round and rectangular. The middle rows are small round faceted blue crystals. The outer rows are round cabachon in the same blue as the center. I am offering this as found, as the clasp is not original.

$24 USDWells Sterling St Vincent Academy Ring Charm
Jewelry:Vintage:Charms
What a neat charm. It is marked Wells Sterling, and represents a School ring. It has the logo for St Vincent's Academy. Most likely, this refers to the all girl's school in Savannah Georgia. The only other Well's Sterling charm that I have found was for the Naval Academy at Annapolis. One would think it would have to be a prominent school to have charms made by Wells. The ring is marked sterling, as you can see in the photos. It has a citron colored stone set.
$55 USDMarvelous Amber Crystal Silver Watch Fob Charm
Jewelry:Vintage:Charms
This beautiful piece came from an English Charm bracelet. It is marked "SIL" for silver content greater than 80%. The stone is a large amber faceted crystal that spins.

As long as I have loved charms, I have not seen this one before. You may see a picture of it on page 133 of Joanna Schwartz's book about Charms and Charm bracelets. As a travel souvenir charm, this one is striking. The Dutch Boy and Dutch Girl are enameled. This is a moveable charm: they swivel in and out of the house. The detailing on the charm is quite nice. This is a model of the Weather House, in which one comes out if it will rain, and one comes out if it is fair skies. This is a little ...

This is a sterling silver swordfish, made to be worn either as a lapel pin, or from a chain as a pendant. The mark is 925 Mexico TM-38. The mark identifies it as a registered jeweler in Taxco.

$24 USDVintage Rosary Set Agate Beads
Jewelry:Vintage:Necklaces
This is an old strand of stone beads, hand wired together in a string. It measures over 17 inches long. The wire is brass. Although I do not usually clean old jewelry, this was so encrusted when I found it that you could not see the lovely variations in the beads. I did a very gentle clean only. The beads vary in size, but range from 7 - 10 mm across. You can wear this strand as is, or use the beads in your own creations.
$20 USDVintage Sterling Silver Figural Crab Charm
Jewelry:Vintage:Charms
This is a charm that dates to the 60's or possibly the 70's. It is a large very detailed figural crab charm. It was most likely collected to represent the astrological sign for Cancer, the Crab, the Water Sign. (That's my sign.) There is a deeply impressed sterling mark on the back of the crab. It measures 7/8 inch from leg to leg, making it a rather large charm. I have left the tarnish as is; a quick buff with a polishing cloth will clean this charm up nicely for you.

$125 USDDave Pino Man's Turquoise Ring Size 10
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
This is an old, large well made sterling silver ring. It is marked Dave Pino, and Sterling. I have not been able to find this name related to a silversmith.
