This wonderful 14K gold bracelet has many, many desireable features. Probably the most distinctive is the serpent link that has a cobra coiled around a dark blue sapphire which is prong set.

Jewelry:Vintage:Estate:Fine
Wonderful! Faceted garnets are prong set and surrounded by split pearls. They are in excellent condition. Total length is approx. 1 3/8". Width is approx. 7/8". Significantly sized to show up beautifully on your ears. Please note that the first photo was taken with a flash so that you can see the redness of the garnet. Without the flash the photos show the garnet very, very dark. Although designed in the Georgian/Victorian (early 1800s) style, we are quite sure that they were actually made in ...
$398 USDVintage 14K Gold and Onyx Size 10 Heavy Ring - Man or Woman

$115 USD14K 2-Tone Gold Filigree Heart Pendant or Charm

$32 USD1959 10K Gold Fraternity or Sorority Pin Omega Nu Upsilon
Jewelry:Vintage:Fraternal
We did research the greek letters on this pin but were unable to come up with the organization it represents. The letters are greek for "omega", "nu", and "upsilon".

$128 USD3 Tortoise Serpent Stacking Wrap Bracelets
Jewelry:Vintage
These bracelets look great stacked together on the wrist or worn individually. They appear to be real tortoise shell - no two are alike in pattern or in size (if they were mass produced they would be the same). The only thing we are sure of is that they are handmade - not machine made. We do not believe that other materials such as plastic or celluloid, would have had the variations we see in this group. But because of our insecurity about the material, we are selling these at a much lower price ...

This scent bottle is a charming miniature snuff or scent bottle that can be worn on a chain or bracelet. The handle swivels and the cap is removeable.

$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.
$195 USDSpectacular Alice Caviness German Enamel Sterling Marcasite Butterfly Pin
Jewelry:Vintage:Pre-wwii:German:Enamel:Sterling
This vintage pin was done before WWII. Designed by Alice Caviness while she worked in Germany. It features brilliant electric blue and lime green enamels with marcasite accents which bring a wonderful level of sparkle to the pin. Really spectacular design done on sterling silver. (This is about the 5th or 6th time I have acquired this particular design for resale - it is always a crowd pleaser! Now have 3 in stock). It measures approx. 1 1/2" x 1 1/4" and is in superb condition. The reverse of ...
$110 USDStunning Vintage Signed Austria Pin/Brooch with Faux Turquoise, and Pearls
Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Austria
I think you will all agree that this is a wonderful looking pin with very fancy pierced metal work. Very three dimensional as it has several layers of interest. It features prong set faux turquoise. The central marbled turquoise is cabochon cut while the prong-set ones surround it are faceted. Four pearls add further interest. Foxtail tassel moves with you. Excellent condition. Safety clasp. Marked "Austria" on plaque on reverse. Without the tassel the pin measures 2" x 1 5/8". The tassel adds 1 ...
$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! ...
$395 USD Offers Considered50" Long Ivory Beaded Necklace with Large Polychrome Carved Horse 3", 8mm beads
Jewelry:Vintage:Chinese
This exquisite ivory necklace is 50" (!!!) long. The horse is almost 3" long x 1 1/2" wide. The ivory beads are 8mm. There is an ivory screw-type clasp. All hand-knotted. Beautiful. Classy. Elegant. Quirky. What more could a sassy lady want? Beautiful with beads doubled and horse worn on the side - just one of the many, many ways it can be worn.
$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" ...
$150 USDEnamel on Sterling Horseshoe Design Norway Bracelet
Jewelry:Vintage:Norway:Sterling & Enamel
This is one of the most unique enamel and sterling Norwegian bracelets I've handled. It is guilloche enamelwork and has very interesting links consisting of interlocking horseshoes alternating with rectangles in a rust/burnt orange color accented with white and silver. it measures 7 1/2" when clasped x 1/2" wide. It is hallmarked on the reverse, 925S Norne with the letter N in a box. I think it is an older hallmark of Aksel Holmsen. The bracelet is in excellent condition and is a comfortable ...
$195 USDEnamel on Sterling and Marcasite Butterfly Pin from Germany
Jewelry:Vintage:Pre-wwii:German:Enamel:Sterling
This beautiful butterfly was made in Germany around 75 years ago. The original design was by Alice Caviness (please note that one of the 3 of these currently listed, only one of them is actually signed Alice Caviness!). It is in excellent condition with vibrant lime greens and shades of blue up to cobalt blue. The many marcasites shimmer like diamonds. Wears beautifully. As a cluster too. Note that the last photo shows the many German Enamel pins we have in inventory, many of which are available ...
$275 USDRetro Design 18K Gold and Diamond Clasp
Jewelry:Vintage:Estate:Fine:Diamond
This dynamically designed clasp is being sold alone. It can be incorporated into any number of necklace or bracelet designs or even fitted with a shank to be made into a ring. All of the yellow gold areas are textured. The ribbon like portion consists of 12 diamonds set into what we have to assume is platinum (approx. .25 carats). The yellow gold tests (strongly) for 18K gold. We do not have a way to test for platinum but we did try to acid test it for both 14 and 18K gold and that was negative ...
$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.
