$15 USDNicely Detailed Sterling Silver Floral Earrings
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
A nice pair of floral earrings are looking for a bare pair of ears to call home. They are quite considerate as house guests and don't eat all of your food or leave a pile of dirty dishes in your sink. They will, however, take on the duty of ear embellisher, and will always be ready for a night out on the town. Measuring 1.5 inches by 0.75 inches and weighing 4.6 grams each, they will make a very lovely addition to your wardrobe or collection of silver. No damage to note... they could use a ...
$65 USDSigned BETO ~ Luminous Abalone & Sterling Bracelet ~ Taxco Mexico
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling:Mexico:Mexican
This fabulous find by the highly collectible Mexican artist, BETO, is in wonderful condition. I'll state right off the bat and not make you read through my drivel... there is no damage to this bracelet. Yes, an abalone bracelet with no pieces missing! YAY! It appears to have been cared for quite well. There are 7 curved links that are 1 inch each, so that makes it a 7 inch bracelet when it's closed. Each link is about 0.6 inches high... so that means the bracelet is 0.6 inches high when it's ...
$35 USDHUGE Vintage Arthur Murray Dance-O-Rama Bronze Award
Collectibles:Dance:Award
You could really have a lot of fun with this piece! Know anyone who loves to dance, but is not quite the greatest dancer? Perhaps good enough for 3rd place? This LARGE bronze medallion by Medallic Arts Co still has a place to engrave your favorite dancer's name on the back! This medallion evidently dates to the 1970's, as it is signed on the edge with Medallic Arts Co, Danbury Connecticut, which is where the company established a headquarters in 1972. I've driven through Danbury, Connecticut. It ...
$12 USDSIAM Sterling Fan Shape Clip Earrings
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
Okay, so maybe they aren't big enough to actually fan yourself with, but just knowing there are fans on your ears should have some sort of placebo effect, don't you think? These gorgeous niello and sterling earrings have nice and secure clip backs. The measure 1.25 inches by 0.8 inches and weigh a total of 6 grams. Okay... we can do this... 6 grams total means that they weigh... (insert Final Jeopardy music here)... 3 grams each!!! YAY!!! The silver surface has a little bit of wear to it on the ...
$10 USDSparkling Enamel Santa Pin
Jewelry:Vintage:Pins/Brooches
This year, don't hide behind the word "holiday". If your family does the whole Santa thing, then let it show. Sort of like let it snow... but different... very different... so never mind. This delightful, glittery Santa pin is the perfect piece to show your holiday... ummm... Christmas spirit. In excellent vintage condition, this gold tone pin with an old c-clasp is unbelievably bright and colorful. He measures about 1 inch tall and would fit great just about anywhere.

$15 USDDelightful Sterling Silver Orchid Brooch ~ Taxco Mexico ~
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling:Mexico:Mexican
This diminutive piece packs a powerful punch! No, it won't hit you... it won't even hit you back... It's just got a LOT of incredible detail packed into a relatively small space. Measuring 1.2 inches tall and wide, it has a depth of 0.5 inches! It looks like a real flower, not one of those flat pieces. Signed on the back with the maker's initials SAI inside of TAXCO HECHO EN MEX 925 circle. The eagle 3 stamp on it indicates that this piece was made in Taxco, Mexico and dates to the post-1955 ...
$50 USDMexican Sterling Wrap Ring ~ RARE Hallmark ~ AE Heart ~ OLD Eagle 3 ~ Size 5
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling:Mexico:Mexican
The Mexican artist who crafted this ring is among my favorites. Her designs show exceptional creativity and diversity, and her items are always of high quality. So, I wasn't surprised to find the AE inside of a heart hallmark on this wonderful ring. However, I was surprised to find the old style eagle stamp for Taxco on this piece. The artist who signs with AE inside of a heart shape has been noted to have used the eagle 23 stamp along with Estella Popowski and Bernice Goodspeed. This is the ...

Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
These beauties are perfect for year round wear! They can be holly in the Winter, flowers in the Spring and Summer and colorful leaves in the Fall... you can even color them! These very vintage sterling silver earrings are lightweight, so quite comfortable to wear. In fact, they each weigh about 2.2 grams. Though lightweight, they are not skimpy with respect to size and detail. Each 3-dimensional earring measures 1 inch by 1 inch and has layer upon layer of detail. The back of each screw is ...
$85 USD~ PHENOMENAL ~ Taxco MOLINA ~ Elegant Lady Brooch ~Sterling ~
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling:Mexico:Mexican
This stunning brooch by Taxco Silversmith Molina literally sparkles! To look at it from a distance, one would think that there is glitter or gemstones embedded in the silver. But there is not... it is simply the exceptional talent of Molina that shines brightly. As a light patina develops on this beauty, she will still sparkle, but will appear to be a golden color... not dark like tarnish. I know this because she had that appearance when I found her. I polished her gently, but over time, the ...
$449 USDVILLASANA ~ Taxco Sterling SCORPION Clamper Bracelet ~ Collector Quality ~
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling:Mexico:Mexican
Exquisite and rare! This scorpion bracelet by Mexican silver maestro Alfredo Villasana is a must have for a collector of silver or fine art. This is truly art to wear! The photos can more accurately describe the beauty of this piece than I can ever write in words. Incredible repousse is raised above an oxidized surface providing 3-dimensional detail that is amazing. The bracelet is 3.75 inches tall in the front, 1.25 inches tall at the hinge and it weighs 60.8 grams. The hinge is nice and tight. ...
$17 USDVintage JJ Boxer Dog Brooch in Pewter
Jewelry:Vintage:Pins/Brooches
It's a Boy!!!! And I don't think I need to comment any further on that. This highly detailed portrait of a Boxer was designed and crafted by JJ, the Jonette Jewelry Company. JJ started their business early in the 1900's, but was forced to close its doors a few years ago due to foreign competition. Their mostly whimsical designs of animals and people are a sheer delight. This dog brooch is no exception. At 1.75 inches tall and 1.5 inches wide, this boy dog weighs 8.2 grams. He is hallmarked with ...
$75 USDMOLINA Mexican Sterling Hearts Clamper Bracelet TM-90
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling:Mexico:Mexican
Forget about wearing your heart on your sleeve. Now you can wear two on your wrist! This fantastic sterling silver bracelet by my favorite, contemporary Mexican artist was quite a delightful discovery. It's a great match for the Molina heart brooch in my shop, sporting a similar, modernist, curved and elongated heart shape. So check out item number PB2016 while you're looking. I just remembered that there's a great pair of Mexican heart earrings in my shop, item number E2020, that would work ...
$10 USDVintage AJC Hang On Kitty Cat Brooch
Jewelry:Vintage:Pins/Brooches
This is a great little brooch by AJC. He reminds me of my mom's cat Pretty Boy. Pretty Boy runs the Neighborhood Watch program for feline invaders. He's quite social and friendly with most of the cats, and when we can't find him it's generally because he is down the street visiting with one of his many friends. He especially likes to take care of stray kittens and has been observed taking care of them until the owners come by and take the kitten home. But... as with people... some cats are nice ...
$145 USDMexico Sterling Silver Pre-Columbian Glyph Bracelet ~ Exquisite ~
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling:Mexico:Mexican
This collector's quality bracelet is based on a design made by Los Ballesteros in Taxco, Mexico. The hallmarks on this beauty include the artist's initials CF inside of a HECHO EN MEXICO 925 circle. There is also a post-1955 eagle 2 that is on the closure so it can't be seen when the bracelet is closed. Each of the 5 sections are distinct, displaying different symbols. Perhaps they each tell a story... I don't think you want me to go there... you know how crazy that can get. There is no damage ...
$45 USD~ FLASHY ~ Providence Stock Company Sterling & Gold Filled Pendant / Brooch
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
WOW! Just picture this gorgeous vintage piece hanging from a gold chain around your neck! This is truly one eye-catching piece, but hopefully no one will take that literally and throw their eyeballs at you. Providence Stock Company, the maker of this gorgeous pendant / brooch combo, crafted high quality items in sterling. I have purchased and sold many of their items, and in my opinion, their items are of similar quality to W.E Richards (wRe) and Symmetalic. Their business was in operation from ...
$35 USDBEAU Sterling Silver Covered Bridge Brooch
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
This brooch reminds me of a poem by Robert Frost that I learned in 3rd grade... "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening". I went to an awesome elementary school. It was full of music and art. Sure, we did the basics, but it was all punctuated by a thirst for art and literature that was elicited by our Principal. If you don't know this poem, you should look it up and memorize it. Okay, now this lovely brooch by Beau Sterling... Framed by wood logs crafted in silver, exquisite details make a scenic ...
$35 USDFELCH CO. Early Danecraft Sterling Silver Floral Brooch
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
This beautiful floral design was crafted in sterling by Felch Co, which was the predecessor to Danecraft. Dating to between the mid 1920's to mid 1930's, the talent that went into the craftsmanship of this piece was certainly among the best from that period. Showing very little wear from its age of approximately 80 years, the brooch measures 2 inches by 1.25 inches and weighs 9.1 grams. The pin and rolling lock work incredibly well... nice and secure. The back is hallmarked STERLING and the ...
$70 USD~* INCREDIBLE *~ Swimmer Sterling Brooch ~ MOLINA Taxco Mexico
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling:Mexico:Mexican
There should be a photo of this piece next to the definition of ART-2-WEAR!!! Taxco silversmith MOLINA has simply outdone himself with this fabulously realistic depiction of two swimmers in competition. It's difficult to know where to start describing the details in this magnificent brooch. The churning water, the faces of the swimmers and their muscular arms, the rope separating the swimming lanes... it is all simply spectacular. In addition, the 3-dimensional detail with the darkened recessed ...
$24 USDSterling Silver Pre-1948 Mexican Man & Cactus Pin SIGNED!
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling:Mexico:Mexican
This is one of those delightful, figural pins from Mexico that are becoming so collectible. When you collect enough of them, you can make up your own stories by placing them in different orders. This one could be "Ouch! Don't touch that, Mexican man!" But of course if you placed it after a pin of the man with a jug of tequila, one could surmise that he likely wouldn't feel it until morning. The brooch is in excellent condition with a nice rolling lock that works very well. The pin weighs 4.5 ...

Each rectangular bracelet measures 2.5 inches across the longest end and 2.25 inches along the shorter end.

$20 USD~ Eye Catching ~ Sterling Silver Hoop Earrings ~ Excellent ~
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
Make your ears say WOW without the pain of a heavy pair of earrings. These gorgeous, light weight sterling silver babies provide pain-free pizzazz! They measure 1 inch down, 1 inch across and 0.25 inches deep across the bottom. The depth allows them to look flashy and awesome from any angle and from across the room!

$60 USDSilver 980 Taxco Pin Pre-1948 Mexico
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling:Mexico:Mexican
This fantastic silver 980 brooch is based on a Spratling design that he called his Vindobonesis. Funny, the spell- checker suggested the word "windburn" as the correct spelling for Vindobonesis. This piece is in excellent condition and has an old C-style closure that holds securely. The hallmarks are 980 and TAXCO. 980 silver is 98% pure, so it is better than sterling, which is only 92.5 % pure. But it's not better than Ivory soap, which claims to be 99 and 44/100ths % pure... But that's not ...
$35 USDCLASSY!!! Mexican Sterling Silver Tie Clip ~ A. MUNOZ ~

If I saw a guy wearing a tie clip like this, my thoughts would be... Wow! What a classy guy!! Really!

It's a great piece for a man who appreciates the finer things in life and has a respect for history. Who might have owned or worn this in the past? Don't worry, we can make up stories about who may have ...
$12 USD~ Colorful ~ Holly Leaf & Brooch ~ Goldtone & Enamel
Jewelry:Vintage:Pins/Brooches
Here's a great vintage brooch for the holiday season. It's a bit more on the mature and serious side... for those who prefer grown up things rather than silly or whimsical pieces. This beauty is unsigned but is of high quality. The golden metal base is in excellent condition, and the pin and rolling lock hold nice and secure. The holly leaves are painted with a natural green enamel, and there are little red "berries" that are snugly held in place. Overall dimensions are 2.25 inches tall and 2 ...

A rare find! This sterling silver bracelet dates to the WWII era. It is a sweetheart bracelet that would have been worn by a young lass whose sweetie was serving in the Navy.

$60 USD~* MOLINA *~ Mexican Sterling Cat Brooch ~ Tail Moves ~
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling:Mexico:Mexican
I REALLY like Molina now, as he has made a sterling silver piece depicting one of my favorite subjects... Cats. This feminine feline with the stripes of a tabby is in excellent condition and most likely dates to 1979-1980. Registration numbers for Mexican silversmiths were used starting in 1979. But this piece has both Molina's registration number TM-90, and his earlier circular hallmark D'MOLINA MEX 925. Many artists used both sets of hallmarks during the transition period so that their ...

Looking for something that is truly one of a kind? Well, look no further. Taxco silversmith, Molina (TM-90) has ventured out of his comfort zone and produced these absolutely gorgeous earrings with sterling and hand blown glass. The glass boasts beautiful shades of blue, while the bubbles contain violet and hints of tan. Together, these colors are a real feast for the eyes. I've shown them in various shades and with different backdrops so that you can hopefully see the full color spectrum. They ...
$30 USDOld TAXCO Sterling Silver Pendant ~ The City of Taxco ~
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling:Mexico:Mexican
If you have ever wondered what the city of Taxco looks like, this vision in sterling does a pretty nice job of showing it to you. Exquisite details provide much more 3-dimensional detail than I would have thought possible in a piece this size. It's as if you can look down the streets of this quaint village. This pendant is quite old, likely dating to the 1940's. It does show a bit of age on the back with some pitting, but the front appears to be free of wear or damage. The Taxco pendant measures ...
$20 USDBell Trading Post Malachite & Sterling Ring Size 7
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
Bell Trading Post was in operation from the 1930's through the 1980's, producing jewelry in the style of the Southwest. This sterling silver and malachite ring is a fine example of their work. The bezel setting is surrounded by a beautiful, ornate oval of silver domes, and the split band is embellished with etchings before merging into a single band on the sides. The malachite stone is beautiful, showing normal signs of wear, but no damage to the surface. The front of the ring measures 0.6 ...
