$75 USD Offers ConsideredVintage Gold Washed 835 Silver Mask of Agamemnon Pendant Brooch
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
This is a vintage museum recreation pendant brooch of the famous gold funerary mask of Agamemnon in marked 835 silver with a gold washed finish. The Mask of Agamemnon was discovered at Mycenae in 1876 by Heinrich Schliemann. It was found over the face of a body believed to be the legendary Greek leader Agamemnon. Modern research suggests that the mask is from 1550-1500 B.C.E, which is earlier than the traditional life of Agamemnon, but in spite of this, the name remains. The mask is displayed in ...

$75 USD Offers ConsideredVintage Arts & Crafts Sterling Silver Luna Moth Butterfly Brooch
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling:Brooch
This is a fine vintage Arts & Crafts marked 925 sterling silver brooch that I believe depicts a slightly stylized brown luna moth rather than a butterfly. The eye like designs on the wings bear a strong resemblance to the moth. It is a good sized brooch, but is hollow so not overly heavy, and it appears to be hand made. The front is decorated in low relief with upper wings defined separately from the lower wings. The eye like decorations are raised above the surface slightly. The surrounding ...

$113 USD Offers ConsideredSALE c.1900 Silver Plated & Turquoise Glass Belt Buckle & Belt Pieces Set
Jewelry:Vintage:Buckles
This is a fabulous large and elaborate silver plated buckle set with turquoise glass cabochons, along with 4 matching belt slide pieces. I estimate that this set dates from no later than circa 1900. The buckle is marked with an impressed mark of the letters P F with a sword in between. The buckle and slides all have sew holes on edges to fix the pieces in place. The glass stones are probably early Czech glass. The buckle measures 2.75" in diameter. The slides are each 2.125" x 1.375". The ...
$135 USD Offers ConsideredSALE c.1900 Gold Filled & Faceted Stones Festoon Necklace
Jewelry:Vintage:Necklaces
This wonderful 16.25" festoon necklace features the most amazing faceted stones filled with interesting inclusions. There are 6 stones hanging in swags from the gold filled chain. I am not sure what these stones are, or whether they are natural or man made, but they are beautiful. My first inclination is that they might be some kind of quartz, but the edges of the faceting are a bit too smooth for a natural stone, so I wonder if they might be glass. Yet among all the inclusions I do not detect ...
$195 USD Offers ConsideredSALE Heavy Vintage Sterling Silver & Amethyst Jungle Animal Necklace

Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling:Mexican
This hefty Mexican sterling silver brooch features an ethnic Indian carved green stone face in the center surrounded by a wide decoratively cut out silver frame. It is marked only MEXICO SILVER, predating the later Mexican standardized marks. The green stone is often called Mexican jade, but I believe it is actually green agate.

$165 USD Offers ConsideredBIG Vintage Sterling Silver Boxer Dog Brooch
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling:Brooch
This large vintage unmarked (tested) sterling silver brooch consists of a portrait like sculptural bust of a proud and handsome boxer dog. It is astonishing to me that the creator of this brooch did not sign such a finely made piece. There is what "might" be a signature - an M or H, under the dogs muzzle on the back. This is a very 3 dimensional depiction. The texture of the fur, the jowls and furrowed brow are all there in amazing detail. This fellow has upright docked ears. This hefty brooch ...
