$95 USDSparkly Enamel on Sterling Silver Deco Period Pin/Brooch
Jewelry:Vintage:Pre-wwii:German:Enamel:Sterling
How pretty is this nicely sized pin?! The marquisite framework really brings a lot of glitter and life to the peaches, cream, and green of this floral design. Excellent condition with one marquisite missing (ridiculously hard to notice that it is gone). A price adjustment has been made to take that missing stone into consideration.

$795 USDSpectacular Robert DeMario Signed Necklace and Bracelet Set
Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Designer:Demario
Here is my feeble attempt at not gushing over this spectacular necklace and bracelet set... Are you aware that some of the more unique vintage glass beads such as found on this set sell for as much as $20-50 each! The historic information about Robert Demario reveals that he produced jewelry in the 1945-65 timeframe and I would suspect this set dates from the 1950s-60s period. Amazingly, that means these beads were produced, probably in Italy, not too long after WWII or about 45-55 years ago! ...

$158 USD14K Satin Gold Knot Pin/Brooch Copyright Hallmark Letter T
Jewelry:Vintage:Yellow Gold
This lovely knot-like design done in 14K actually looks better on then off. Really, really nice. Very classic yet with a twist. It can be worn with everything. Satin finish with a highly reflective surface. Sinuous curves to it. It is very lightweight (4.2g) because it is hollow which is why it is remarkable that it is in such excellent condition. It must have been lovingly stored and hardly worn. It bears a hallmark along with the 14K mark on the reverse. The hallmark is the capital letter "T" ...

$995 USDAntique 14K Gold Sapphire and Rosecut Diamond Skinny Hinged Bangle Bracelet
Jewelry:Antique:Fine
This is a wonderful Victorian era bangle bracelet. It is in excellent condition. The sapphires are a deep blue that can be seen through when held up to a light. The bracelet tapers slightly so the stones graduate from the largest in the center to the smallest on either side. The center also forms a slight rise to the shape of the bangle. As always, sapphires and diamonds make a great combination and this piece is no exception! All the diamonds are rose cut. Now...click on any picture to see ...
$250 USDVery Old Green Peking Glass Necklace w/Filigree and Teardrop
Jewelry:Vintage:Peking Glass
This necklace is a fabulous design and color for just about any lady! Great length also! It measures 22 1/2" long and the drop parts dangle down another 3 1/2". Excellent condition and color. All handknotted between the round beads. I don't know if the entire piece was made in China, but it could have been. Or, the glass might have been exported and assembled in Czecholsovakia. Definitely a piece from the first quarter of the 20th century.
