$20 USD SaleSALE United States Dept Of The NAVY 20 Year Pin ~ STERLING ~
Collectibles:Militaria:Navy:Sterling
As many of you know, my dad was in the Navy. He actually lied about his age and joined at age 15 during WWII. He loved the Navy and attended his ship's reunions until the year that he fell ill and passed away. To honor his memory, I try to list quality Navy items from the WWII era. This is one such item. This sterling silver and red enamel pin measures 0.5 inches tall and wide and weighs 2 grams. It commemorates 20 years of service in the US Department of the Navy, and the original owner was ...
$85 USD SaleSALE Pre-1948 Mexico Sterling Bracelet Artist Signed
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling:Mexico:Mexican
This is a beautiful work of art from the pre-eagle (pre-1948) era of Mexico's silver history. This is a large and eye catching piece with 3 panels. Each panel has a central dome with cutout sections so that your skin will serve as a backdrop for this beautiful bracelet. The carved design around the edges looks like a natural swirl of long leaves accented with tiny silver dots at each end. The overall appearance is of leaf and berries. Each panel is separated by a trio of small sterling domes. ...
$55 USD SaleSALE Taxco Mexico Rosewood & Sterling Bracelet OLD Eagle 3
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling:Mexico:Mexican
There weren't many artists in Mexico who used rosewood along with sterling silver to craft gorgeous works of art. I guess this was one of them. This spectacular bracelet sports an Aztec motif crafted with strips of rosewood that create a natural backdrop for the shiny rivers of sterling. This piece dates to between 1948 and 1955, as it has the older style eagle 3 stamp. I like these older stamps better... they are much more artistic. As with most anything made with wood, the strips have expanded ...
$125 USD SaleSALE A. CAZARES Mexican Sterling Bracelet & Ring Set
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling:Mexico:Mexican
Rings by the Mexican silversmith A. Cazares are highly sought. So, what can be better than a gorgeous ring by this artist along with a matching bracelet? Well, okay, I can think of things that are better, but what if you REALLY wanted an A. Cazares ring? The ring is a size 5, and while adjustable, it is a sturdy piece that is not easily bent. It can be opened a bit to fit up to a size 6 or so, but this would best be accomplished by a professional, using tools that won't damage the gorgeous ...

Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
Gorgeous! The open backed stones in these sterling silver earrings really let the light shine through, allowing the fiery colors to be seen from across the room. Encased in a sturdy sterling silver 4 point frame that resembles the settings found in Mexican silver rings, these earrings are hallmarked with a very worn 925 on the back of each. They are 0.5 inches long, excluding the loop and the ear wire, and weigh 2.5 grams each... yup, 5 grams total. We're getting good at this math stuff, huh. ...
$22 USD SaleSALE Jezlaine Sterling Openwork Earrings ~*~ Perfect ~*~
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
If you've looked at Jezlaine silver items before, you will recognize the gorgeous, elegant design. Jezlaine used this openwork pattern quite often on many different items including animals like cats and yes, even turtles! These vintage beauties on simple Shepard's hooks are perfect for every day or a dress-up day. I did a small amount of polishing to them, but they can shine like new if you prefer. The silver raindrops are 1 inch long and 0.5 inches tall. It still baffles me why 1 is singular, ...
$12 USD SaleSALE EXCELLENT! Modernist Silver & Gold Tone Christmas Tree Brooch
Jewelry:Vintage:Pins/Brooches
Of high quality, this gorgeous silver tone tree has raised gold ornaments and is topped with an colorful aurora borealis rhinestone in a star. When I say it is of high quality, realize that I normally sell sterling silver. This piece is solid and beautiful enough for me to add it to my mostly sterling inventory. Not that I'm a sterling silver snob or anything... oh no... not me. It's just that I can't be an expert in everything, so I chose sterling. So, believe me when I say that this is one ...
$65 USD SaleSALE Incredible Mexican Sterling Silver & Turquoise Butterfly Necklace
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling:Mexico:Mexican
WOW!!! This is one AMAZING necklace!!!! I guess it is a butterfly... Sometimes I look at it and I think it is a fierce owl with big feathery "eye brows" and its wings curved out and down in a protective stance. But a butterfly sounds nicer, so I'm sticking with that. Or better yet, it can be what ever you want it to be depending on your mood. The artistry in this necklace is fascinating! The design is intriguing, but it's depth makes it outstanding. Three different layers of silver merge to ...

$17 USD SaleSALE ^ Unusual ^ Sun ~ Planet ~ Star Mexican Sterling Brooch
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling:Mexico:Mexican
An interesting and unusual piece, this celestial art to wear will put the entire solar system within reach. Yeah, right. It reminds me of one of those really cool solar system models that we had in the science classroom. You know, the one that you could turn or spin so that you could see the rotation of the planets as well as their rotation around the sun? I want one of those, so if you have one, let me know. I'll trade this slimmed down version for it. Sterling silver, made in Mexico, this is a ...

A rare find! Here is an exquisite set by the famous Taxco silversmith Miguel Melendez. Each piece has a convex shape... convex... that means the center is higher than the edges.

Beautifully designed! These feathers, crafted in sterling silver, wave gently as you move, creating a gentle breeze to keep you cool in the Summer.

$345 USD ReducedREDUCED RARE!!! JoPoL Sterling Green Eyed Cat Pin Brooch
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
A piece like this may only pass your way once in a lifetime! This fantastic, NEAR MINT, feline is signed JoPoL for Joan Polsdorfer, an American studio artist who was the first designer to produce items for Georg Jensen during WWII. This modernist cat head brooch is reminiscent of the cat head that Hector Aguilar made for Coro during that same time period, but it is unclear as to which artist actually produced the design first. The bottom of the brooch measures 1.2 inches in diameter. It measures ...

$30 USD SaleSALE Classic! BEAU STERLING Modernist Ring Size 7.5 Adjustable
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
This is my favorite ring design by Beau Sterling. A fantastic, stand up and get noticed piece, the ring is currently a 7.5, but the shooting star design in the front can be gently opened or closed to accommodate many different sizes. The front of the ring stands 1 inch high, but since the design expands on the diagonal, it doesn't hinder movement. It's a great middle finger ring... just don't use it the wrong way... and you know what I mean. In fabulous condition, this gorgeous, must have ring ...
$30 USD SaleSALE Exceptional Design! SIGNED Sterling Silver Ring Size 7
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
This is one of the best ring designs I've seen. The top and bottom of the ring slant out to the center where they meet at an acute angle. With this design the ring can be seen well from any angle, not just when looking at it square on. The design is all the way around too, so there's no real front or back. All of the dark sections are intact... yep... once again the camera shows all of the silver polish remnants. My eyes are soooo not good. I don't want to "key word spam", so, I'll just say that ...

Well, all righty then, this might be the perfect piece for you! A beautiful 16th note brooch awaits your adoption. I'm not sure why most of the music note brooches ...
$49 USD SaleSALE Pre-1948 Mexico Sterling Floral Brooch and Earrings Set
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling:Mexico:Mexican
A gorgeous floral motif from the Pre-Eagle period of Mexico's silver history envelops this brooch and earring set. The brooch is comprised of 3 silver domes, each surrounded by 8 smaller domes that serve as the flower petals. The exquisite artistry can be observed when you notice that the center dome is larger than the two flanking domes, allowing the center to be the focal point, rather than having 3 identical motifs. However, these don't have to be flowers...they can be snowflakes for Winter.. ...
$65 USD SaleSALE LEDESMA Taxco Sterling & Stone Inlay Earrings Eagle 3
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling:Mexico:Mexican
Most of you know that I'm a big fan of sterling silver from Mexico. And I am definitely a fan of Enrique Ledesma, who was trained in painting and sculpting before beginning his career in silver. These beautiful earrings are an abstract depiction of a face, composed of sterling silver and two different colors of stone inlay. There is a darker stone that is part of the face, and a lighter color on the other side of the silver inlay. I have a Ledesma brooch in my shop that has the same design. In ...
$24 USD SaleSALE Pre-1948 Taxco Mexican Sterling Silver Earrings Signed LICO
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling:Mexico:Mexican
What a wonderful design! Take a look at the photos and follow them as you read... In the first photo, the design could be a wave crashing over something in the ocean...an unsuspecting swimmer, a surfer (cool....catching a tube!) or just about anything else you can come up with. In the second photo, the design has a yin and yang appearance. In the third photo, the design could be a wave rolling in the ocean with the moon in the background...or the sun...or keep the moon, and let the curve be the ...
$10 USD SaleSALE Perfect Little Sterling Dome Ring Size 6
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
This is a great little ring! Flashy and eye catching, yet neat and uncluttered. It resembles a design that is often used by Mexican silversmiths, but there are no hallmarks indicating it is Mexican made. The hallmark inside the band is STERLING, and the ring weighs 3.4 grams. There are no dents or dings anywhere on this ring. The only indication of its age is the rope design around the dome, which has been worn a bit and can be seen in the photos. Other than that is is perfect! I would keep it, ...
$24 USD SaleSALE Solid! TAXCO Sterling Modernist Heart Earrings PIERCED!
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling:Mexico:Mexican
I just can't say enough about these gorgeous earrings. Unlike many of the more modern pieces from Taxco, which have beautiful repousse but are hollow or open backed, these beauties have solid, sturdy, old school craftsmanship. Each earring weighs 5 grams! So, simple math would tell us that the pair is 10 grams total. The modernist hearts measure 0.75 inches tall, 0.75 inches wide and approximately 0.15 inches deep. These are solid earrings... not the flimsy, hollow stuff that is easily damaged. ...
