$42 USDVintage Lang sterling silver race horse and jockey pin, 1950's
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
Another outstanding piece from the Lang Sterling Company, this is a dynamic race horse flying along with his jockey in the saddle. So detailed, you can see the tendons in his legs, the jockey's face, it's typical of the Lang excellence. Tail flying, head up, ears back listening to his rider, the horse shows beautiful musculature and action. Measuring a bit over 2.25" across and a little over 1.5" tall, it's in excellent condition, and one of the more difficult Lang pins to find. A superb old ...
$39 USDVintage 1940's Lang sterling silver swan with crown pin or brooch
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
She's elegant, with just a touch of the adorable, a queen of a swan done in sterling silver by Lang. She's actually the logo of the Lang Sterling Company, and she dates to the late 1940's or early 50's. Her long, graceful neck leads to a body that is three dimensional, with her two wings formed and attached to her body, her paddling feet trail out below. In excellent condition, she measures 1.75" from the top of her crown to her feet, and about 1" across at her body. This regal beauty will come ...
$46 USDAntique bridle rosette pin or brooch, jumping horse
Jewelry:Vintage
Another attractive bridle rosette that has been transformed into a fabulous piece of jewelry, this one features a horse and his rider taking a fence. Perhaps they are out foxhunting, or perhaps it is a scene from a long ago horse show. The domed glass is in excellent shape, the rosette has a brass bezel and back to which a pin was added some time ago. Measuring 1.75" in diameter, the magnification from the camera gives a crackled look in spots, which don't show in real life. And do please ...
$49 USDAntique mother of pearl stick pin, horse head
Jewelry:Vintage:Pins/Brooches
An elegant stickpin, from Victorian or Edwardian times, featuring a bridled horse head, this is done in mother of pearl. Brass forms the bridle, reins and bit on the horse, quite well done, this dates to the early 1900's. The stick pin itself is about 2.75", with the horse head a bit under .5" from front to back. Delicate and charming, the back ear has a little loss to the tip and the pin could use a cleaning, which I will leave to the new owner.
$35 USD ReducedREDUCED Antique pin or brooch, three horseshoes, hoof, riding crop
Jewelry:Vintage
An unusual old brooch or pin, English of course, with an interesting equestrian motif. Three horse shoes are set upon a hunting whip, with the long lash entwined around the shaft. The handle of the whip is a horse leg, beautifully detailed, you can see the hair as it goes down to the hoof. The central shoe is larger, flanked by two smaller shoes. Silver in tone, with brass on the crop shaft and a brass backing, I can find no marks anywhere. There is a C clasp and a somewhat primitive hinge, ...
$14 USD ReducedREDUCED Vintage sterling silver horse head earrings
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
This set of horse head earrings is marked sterling on the reverse, and they date to the 1930's-1940's period. The heads are set in a round border that is accented with four rope edged designs. The screw backs are in excellent working order, with the earrings measuring about one half inch round. A sweet set, I find these old earrings also look terrific on collar tips. All my jewelry arrives in a gift box.
$46 USDVintage sterling silver Airedale Terrier dog pin
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
This large old pin or brooch shows an elegant Airedale Terrier standing at the alert. It's so easy to see why this handsome dog is known as the King of Terriers! Beautifully detailed, this vintage pin dates to the 1930's-1940's era and is marked sterling on the reverse. An impressive piece, it is 1.5" from front paws to top of head, 1.75" wide, from rear paws to tip of nose. The safety clasp is in good working order, it's a fab find for any dog lover.
$42 USDVintage English cuff links, Scottish Terrier dogs
Jewelry:Vintage:Cuff Links
A darling set of cufflinks, from England, these feature full bodied Scottish Terrier dogs standing on green grass. Dating to the 1920's to 1930's era, they are marked GILT on the reverse and the images of the dogs are under clear celluloid. The torpedo shaped links are connected by chain to the back of the cuffs, and the faces measure about .75" across. Our Scotty pair is in good condition for their age, a bit of tarnish to the metal bezels, handsome dogs that are perfect for a man or a woman.
$32 USDVintage dog in horseshoes cuff links
Jewelry:Vintage:Cuff Links
It's always fun when I find something that combines my two loves, horses and dogs. This old set of cufflinks was a great find on my recent trip to South Florida. The links are a nice brass tone with an aged and mellow patina. The top shows a raised dog head surrounded by a raised horseshoe. The dog appears to be a hound, and with the horseshoe motif that makes sense--a perfect pair for the fox hunter. They're a great size, measuring just under 1" in diameter. The backs have a little play to them ...
$17 USDVintage silver tone race horse cufflinks
Jewelry:Vintage:Cuff Links
An attractive set of older cufflinks, these are done in a silver tone and unmarked. Set on a circle, the head of a bridled race horse. Nose extended towards the finish line, ears flattened, the set has a dynamic feeling of motion. Wonderful detail, you can see the veins in the horses faces. A lovely pewter color, they are in fine condition for their age, 1950's, and measure .5" across, suitable for a man or a woman racing enthusiast.
$16 USDVintage pair of double horse head earrings
Jewelry:Vintage
Two horse heads are each framed by a horseshoe on this sweet set of vintage earrings. They are a silver tone, and while they polished up nicely, I can't find any marking to say that they are sterling. Dating to the 1940's or so, these screw back earrings are in very good condition, and measure just under one inch across.
$16 USDVintage pair of sterling silver bow earrings
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
A pair of sweet little bow earrings, with screw backs, both marked sterling. The silver "ribbon" is tied in a soft bow, with a knot at the center, with the ends of the ribbon done in a decorative manner. I cleaned them up just a bit to take the photographs, but you could polish them to a shiny brightness if you desired. They measure about .75" long, .5" wide, and they are in lovely condition for their age, 1930's to early 1950's. Besides wearing them in the normal fashion, I like to attach screw ...
$34 USDVintage reverse crystal cufflinks, horse heads
Jewelry:Vintage:Cuff Links
This set of 1950's cufflinks has not only lovely horse heads, but horse shoes crossed by a horseshoe nail as the back connector. Gold tone, the two parts are connected by links of chain, all in nice condition. The bay horses are wearing big snaffle bridles, sporting bridle rosettes, with reins draped back across their necks. The glass domes measure about a half inch in diameter, and this pair is suitable for any equestrian, male or female.
$27 USDVintage Swank horse and jockey enamelled cufflinks
Jewelry:Vintage:Cuff Links
Galloping along neck and neck, two horses with their jockeys by the well known maker Swank. Set in two horse shoe shaped semi circles, the race horses are wearing blinders, and the jockeys caps and silks are enamelled in red and blue. Both are marked Swank on the reverse and also on the bars that connect the toggles. Some very minor loss to the enamel visible under a loupe, the cuffs are in good condition for their age, 1950's or so. Great for Derby Day or the horse racing enthusiast in your ...
$59 USDVintage sterling silver horse and sulky driver pin brooch
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
This is such an elegant brooch, with a great three dimensional look to it. Marked sterling, it shows a fancy horse being driven to a two wheeled cart. The horse has the beautiful neck and face of an Arabian or a Morgan, with the high set docked tail of a Hackney. I love the high wheels on the sulky, with the driver sitting between the two wheels. There are even two shafts alongside the horse, adding terrific depth to the pin and the appearance of the buggy. Measuring 1.5" by 3/4" at the wheels, ...
$65 USDEnglish sterling silver bracelet, leaf motif, Birmingham hallmarks
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
Such a pretty, delicate bracelet this, a continuous flow of sterling silver leaves to grace your wrist. Beautifully made, do look at how detailed the leaves are. Of course, made by Clewely and Company, one would expect that attention to detail. This charming vintage piece measures 7.5" in length, with an adjustable safety clasp. Fully hallmarked with the lion passant for sterling, the anchor for Birmingham, the date letter for 1951 and the maker's mark for Clewely and Company. I have not ...
$44 USD ReducedREDUCED Antique bridle rosette, fox hunter on horse, pin or brooch
Jewelry:Vintage
These rosettes were made to adorn a horse's bridle, back in the late 1800's to the early 1900's. This one has been made into a pin, and shows a red coated foxhunter taking a fence on his horse, whip in hand. With a good green background, with a bit of iridescence, it's a striking piece at 1.75" in diameter. My photographs make it look a bit grainy, because of the close ups, but it isn't at all. These are lovely on a lapel or at the throat of a blouse, wonderful on a velvet ribbon around the neck ...
$65 USDVintage Vulcain pocket watch, fabulous stag hunting scene
Jewelry:Vintage:Watches
I spotted this on a trip to Oklahoma last year, and walked away, as I know little about pocket watches. But its beauty kept drawing me back, so I had to have it. Made by Vulcain, a company that started in 1858 in Switzerland, it's just stunning. The case is exquisitely decorated, so do have a look at all the pictures. The front shows a raised scene of stag hunting, the deer leaping away from the hunters with their guns while the back is etched in a delicate floral motif. Such attention to detail ...
$17 USDPair of sterling silver prancing horse earrings
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
Such beautiful horses here, elegant dished faces, long flowing manes, high carried tails--they must be Arabians. Each of these high stepping horses is marked SIM on the reverse, along with an impressed mark of 925. The hoops are also marked 925, with a another mark that appears to be sMl. Honestly, it's just too small for my eyes to catch, even with a loupe. The horses measure about .75" across, and there is a little crimp in one of the hoops, which doesn't show when they are on, nor does it ...
$29 USD ReducedREDUCED Antique porcelain pin or brooch with romantic scene
Jewelry:Vintage
Another recent arrival from my English shipment, this is a lovely old ceramic brooch with a romantic scene of a lady and her gentleman. It's round, and and impressive size at 1.5" in diameter. It's set in a silver tone metal bezel which is nicely engraved--due to the quality of the workmanship on this, I think it may be sterling, but I haven't tested it. The back features a simple C clasp and I can find no markings on it anywhere. The image is much crisper than my photographs, with the colors ...
$49 USDVintage English cufflinks, race horse and jockey
Jewelry:Vintage:Cuff Links
A lovely set of cuff links, English of course, featuring jockeys racing along on their horses. A colorful and dynamic scene, captured under celluloid, and both marked GILT on the reverse. The face measures just under .75", and the torpedo backs are connected by a figure eight link and rings. An early set, from the 1920's or 1930's, they are in good vintage condition, and would be ideal for any horse lover, either male or female.
SOLDSOLD Antique mother of pearl horse head brooch
Jewelry:Vintage:Carved, Cameo
A large and intricately detailed brooch made from mother of pearl, this beautiful pin dates to the turn of the last century, Victorian or Edwardian times. Exquisite carving and craftsmanship to this heavy piece, it's quite thick, with a brass backing and a simple C clasp. With flaring nostrils, and a lovely expression, note how wonderfully done the teeth are. The horse is adorned with a bridle that includes an ornate bit, which looks like an old time coaching bit, a rosette and two reins. While ...
$39 USD Sale PendingSALE PENDING Vintage sterling silver pin or brooch, two Setter dogs
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
Had a chance to shop with one of my favorite antique jewelry dealers at the Round Top show, I found several treasures. This is an old sterling pin featuring two dog heads, they are Setters or Retrievers. Dating to the 1930-1940 era, one dog is set atop the other, for a terrific dimensional look. Lovely detail to this vintage piece, the hair, the musculature of the faces, even the dog's dewlaps and large, expressive eyes. A large piece, it measures 2" across, just under 1.25" from top to bottom. ...
$38 USD Sale PendingSALE PENDING Vintage sterling silver pin, three trotting horses
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
Twelve flying legs on this older sterling pin, with three horses trotting in a group. And beautiful horses they are too, long elegant necks, pretty faces, ears up and alert, with docked tails carried proudly. The full bodied horses are layered one on top of the other, for a terrific dimensional effect and a feeling of motion. I haven't polished it up, it has a nice aged patina, but of course the sterling silver could be polished to a brilliant shine. Marked on the reverse "sterling" on the jowl ...
$65 USD Sale PendingSALE PENDING Vintage 1920's sterling silver horse brooch, European
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
Beautifully made, this Continental pin depicts a horse standing on grass, done in sterling silver. Unmarked, it does test as sterling, and the detail on this pin is just lovely. You can see the musculature in the shoulders and neck, the tendons in the legs, the wavy hair in the mane, the rocks and blades of grass on the ground. It looks much like an old time image of an English Thoroughbred, although it is certainly European, most likely French. The pin is secured with a trombone clasp, quite ...
SOLDSOLD Vintage horseshoe and riding whip pin or brooch
Jewelry:Vintage
A lovely equestrian piece here, a horse shoe over set with a riding crop, the lash entwined around the stock or shaft of the whip. Great detail on this early 20th century pin and a wonderful dimensional look, with the nails raised from the surface of the shoe. The lash of the crop is textural as well, giving the impression of a braided piece. No markings that I can find on this old silver tone piece, c. 1900 to 1920, with its simple C clasp and barrel hinge. Quite substantial, it measures 1" top ...| Items 1 - 26 of 26 | Page 1 of 1 |
