Description: Black Enamel and Clear Rhinestone Demi Hoops - Again, I'm not sure this is an animal print design but rather an abstract pattern of clear rhinestone "lines" on black enamel with occasional slightly larger single clears, but whatever these are they are pretty and very wearable.

At 7/8" x 1/2" these are a fairly conservative earring that can go almost anywhere. White enamel is coming on strong in the jewelry industry after being ignored for many years. Especially effective on those whose skin tones are darker or tanned, where they make a nice contrast. Pierced, silvertone. Expect to see more white enamel jewelry in the future. Item: OE2-460 Price: $9.95 US |

Description: Animal Print Demi Hoops in Black Enamel and Clear Rhinestones - Left hand pair are silvertone setting, right hand pair are goldtone.

Both are pierced. Price separately. Item: OE2-462A (Silvertone) Price: $10.95 US |

Description: Light Smokey Topaz Navette and Clear Rhinestone Stretch Bracelet and Earring Set - Slightly lighter than the traditional brown, this uses navettes (marquises) brown stones surrounded by a row of small round clear rhinestones, and made into a floral/foliate design. Set in coppertone (which doesn't really show because the stones are so closely set), the stretch bracelet uses six sections, and the pierced earrings use the same single design. Sections are 1 3/4" in diameter at widest point. Bracelet is about 7 1/2" unstretched, so this should fit an average sized wrist, and even a smaller wrist, just not snugly. An usual color combination. Item: OS-492 Price: $72.00/set US |

 |
Description: Teal/Clear Rhinestone Zigzag Stripe Earrings - Silvertone, pierced findings. At 3 1/2" x 1/2", these are long and slim. Nice weight, and totally glamorous. These would go nicely with OB3-208. Item: OE3-473 Price: $24.50 US |

Description: Black Rhinestone Bracelet with Clear Rhinestone Stripes - This is a stretch bracelet in seven sections, with a row of clear rhinestones at the end of each section, creating a stripe effect. Convex shaped, each link has 9 rows of rhinestones, with all stones paste set in an enamel washed blackened setting. Inside of the bracelet is silvertone. 9/16" wide. Unstretched this is 8 3/4" but because the elastic is quite tight I would recommend this for average wrists; even a smaller wrist can wear this. Extremely wearable, this goes with so many things and is a width that almost everyone should find flattering. Item: OB3-483 Price: $44.50 US |
•••
|
Description: Animal Print Stretch Bracelet - Love black, but not with silvertone? This is goldtone, with black enamel and clear rhinestone "stripes". 1 3/8" wide, about 8" unstretched. Easy to slip on and off. Item: OB3-487 Price: $29.50 US |

Description: Deco Design Clamper in Black Enamel and Clear Rhinestones - This design reminds me a little of the Chrysler Building, or maybe a sky full of fireworks. Very sparkly, this domed hinged bangle is 2" at the widest point, tapering down to about 1" at the center back. Hinge has a magnetic clasp so you don't have to worry that this going to fall off. 2 1/8" x 2 1/2", so this is for average to large wrists. Item: OB3-486 Price: $54.50 US |
•••
|
Description: Animal Print Wide Hinged Bangle Bracelet - Done in light Colorado topaz, black, and Madeira topaz rhinestones, this domed bangle, at 1 1/2" wide, is as impressive as many of the designer bracelets that we've seen. Round rather than oval shaped, this is 2 1/2" inner diameter, so for the average to larger wrists. Item: OB3-491 Price: $45.00 US |
 |
•••
 |
Description: Animal Print Solid Collarette Necklace and Cuff Bracelet Set - Done with all flatback stones in black and clear, this uses a thin lucite? plexiglass? base. Necklace graduates from about 3/8" to almost 3" wide at the center. Silvertone lobster claw clasp and long extender chain enable this to be worn by up to a 20" neck (opening in back is almost 4"). Cuff is 1 5/8" wide and measures almost 9" -back opening is quite small (about 3/4") but has a little flexibility. This is meant to be put on the side of your hand and then slid up your wrist. (This would possibly fit over your wristbone but you would need a very small wrist bone to do it.) This would be amazing with a black strapless dress. Item: OS3-499 Price: $94.95/set US |
•••
  |
Description: Fuchsia/Black/Clear Animal Print Cuff - Done in all flatback stones, with the fuchsia stones surrounded by a single line of black stones, and everything then separated by clear stones. Lightweight plastic (probably lucite or plexiglass) base. Cuff is 1 3/4" wide with a 9" circumference plus a 1/2" opening. This is made to be put on over the side of your hand and then slid up your wrist. At 9 1/2" this is for a larger person, you may need to use a scarf over your hand in order to slide it on without breaking it. Item: OB3-493 Price: $29.50 US |
•••
 |
Description: Cream Enamel with Black Teardrop Cabs Stretch Bracelet - A nice alternative to white/black, this cream/black combination looks really nice with "winter" whites and has small goldtone ropetwist accents. Although this is 9 1/2" unstretched, I have one of these (I have a small wrist) and find that it doesn't slip down too far on my hand to be comfortable. Convex, about 7/8" wide. Item: OB3-484 Price: $21.50 US |
•••
 |
Description: Black and Clear Rhinestone Teardrop Fringe Necklace and Earring Set - Silvertone, with black teardrop rhinestones hanging down from the clear rhinestone chain that has been soldered into sets of three stones. Design forms a "v" at the center. Adjustable from 13 3/4" to 17 1/2"; pierced earrings are 1 1/2" x 1". Classic design that will be fashionable forever. Beautiful and affordable for all. Item: OS4-456 Price: $19.95 US |

Earrings are pierced, 1 5/8". Shortest strand of necklace is adjustable to 15 1/4", with a 1 5/8" fall between top and bottom strands. While this would best accomodate a small neck size, the addition of an extender would make this wearable by almost everyone. Flattering classic style. Item: OS4-457 Price: $29.50 US |

|
Description: Choice of Aqua or Pink Rhinestone/Lavarock Bracelet in Gunmetal Colored Setting - Bracelet on the left alternates medium aqua rhinestones in rows of four with an unusual translucent stone, also in aqua, that for lack of a better term I am going to call a lavarock. Bracelet on the right is the same design, with pink rhinestones and a lavender-pink lavarock. Stretch style, 1 1/2" wide and 8" unstretched. Elastic is fairly tight so I would advise average to smaller wrists. Item: OB4-494A (aqua) Price: $28.50 US |

Description: Unusual Long Thin Earrings - At 3" long and only 1/4" at the widest point, these give a very elegant sillouette in an unusual color combination. Hematone plating is accented with lots of small clear stones in 3 different sizes, and then punctuated with reverse set stones, so that you have the effect of goldtone metallic rivolis (arum rivolis do not exist to my knowledge) . Lots of class for a small price. Item: OE4-458 Price: $12.50 US |
|
•••
 |
Description: Pandora-Style Bead Bracelets - Choice of Pink, Multi Green or Teal - If you have looked at the designer bracelets that use this type of bead (and their are many companies that have the sterling/karat gold versions) you might love the look but have cringed at the price per bead - at a minimum of $20/bead for the fine jewelry versions, plus the cost of the chain, you can easily get a lot of money tied up in a style that may look dated to you in a few years. This is a great way to compromise and get the look without the price. These bracelets have a combination of a colored rhinestone set "rondelle" (flattened round) with a variety of other patterned beads, some of which are plastic and some of which are glass. All on a silvertone chain, lobster claw clasp with extender chain and rings on the end that should stop the beads from coming off when you put on/take off the bracelet. Will fit from 7" to 9" wrist. At this price you can wear them guilt free. Item: OB5-490P (pink) Price: $16.50 US |

Description: Animal Print Cuff with Flatback Stones in Black/Black Diamond and Clear - Plastic (lucite?) base covered with flatback stones - black diamond sections surrounded by a single line of black stones, and everything else filled in with clear stones. 1 3/4" wide, 9" around plus 1/2" opening. You will want to either slip on over your hand or if you have a small enough wrist bone put it on as you would any other cuff - there is a little flexibility in the plastic but you don't want to force this on. Wrist wise this will fit an average to larger wrist but a small size might be able to push it up the forearm or wear it over a longsleeved sweater. Item: OB5-488 Price: $29.50 US |

  |
Description: Black/Black Diamond/CAD/Clear/Opaline Necklace and Earring Set - Yes, this actually has 5 colors of stones - black, grey, grey metallic, clear and opaline, which is almost a translucent AB - kind of a milky white with flashes of mild pastels, mainly pale yellow. This also uses a multitude of stone shapes - rounds, octagonal, oval , rounded squares, marquises and rivolis (pointed top rounds). Indulating lines of clear pave run thru the design. Necklace is link style, slightly over 2" at center point, and tapers to 1/8" at the clasp. Lobster claw clasp with adjustable chain, this is 17" plus extender chain of 2", so 19" total possible. Earrings are pierced, 2" x 9/16" at widest point. Silvertone setting. One of the opaline stones has a tiny black spot in it (please see closeup) so I have priced this at under our normal markup. Item: OS5-500 Price: $69.50 US |

Description: Black/Clear Cubic Zirconia Solid Cuff in Silvertone/Goldtone Accents - Designer look cuff has a center oval black stone surrounded by a goldtone border; swirling motif with heartshaped accents has clear cz's at N-S-E-W and two additional cz's at E-W. Side portions have a reptilian (alligator?) pattern. Inside of cuff has an openwork cage for better fit. Please notice that this is a solid cuff; oval shaped, with a 1 5/8" opening, about 2" x 2 1/2". About 1" at widest point (center front). Best for at least an average, if not slightly larger, wrist. A very nice look for a super price. Item: OB5-474 Price: $26.50 US |

Description: Domed Pave Set Bracelet with Multi-Chain Sides - A great bracelet for almost anyone, that could be used as a stand alone or mixed with other bracelets. Center is paved with clear rhinestones, framed with a thin goldtone border, and then surrounded with a silvertone thick ropetwist. Side portions are multiple (10) rows of foxtail type chains that end with a magnetic clasp, which is very strong. You will not have to worry about this bracelet falling off! 7 1/2" wearable length, 1 1/4" wide. Item: OB5-476 Price: $39.50 US |
•••
|
Description: Double Cable Open Front Cuff with Black Stone Caps - Silvertone except for two rows of goldtone dots on each side, this is very wearable with a suit or even casual clothing, by itself or with other bracelets.

Description: Bow Motif Solid Collarette in White with Clear Aurora Borealis Stones - This is SO sparkly in direct light. White plastic solid collar is all pave set with clear aurora borealis rhinestones, with a central bow motif. Collar is 15" plus a 3 1/4" opening, so 18 1/4" . Back has a silvertone lobster claw clasp and a long extender chain. About 3" at widest point. For the right dress this would be absolutely outstanding. Item: ON6-498 Price: $54.50 US |

Description: Rhinestone and Black Mesh Criss Cross Bracelet - Both strands of mesh are set with two strands of clear rhinestones. Magnetic clasp. 8"+ wearable length x 1 1/2" wide.

Description: Hattie Carnegie Mesh/Rhinestone Waterfall Necklace & Earring Set - Seen on other site for over 2x what we have priced it at, this iconic set is both versatile and extremely flattering on. Excellent original condition, with dangling foxtail chain culminating in clear rhinestones. Clip earrings are about 1 3/4" x 3/8" at longest points. Necklace is 16" with 2 1/2" dangles and spring ring clasp - this could be extended with a chain if desired. Pictured in at least one jewelry book, there is apparently another variation of the earrings and a matching brooch (and I am betting a bracelet as well.) Item: SS1-814 Price: $195.00/set US   |

Description: Wiesner Aqua and Clear Bracelet - Though not a match for the basket brooch (above) since this has aqua navettes instead of ovals, this would still make an excellent go-with. Link style bracelet has a pair of aqua navettes in each link, with a rhinestone set circle and rhinestone set connecting links. Silvertone setting, probably rhodium plate. 7 1/4" x 1/2", in excellent condition, though several of the small clears are replacements. Wiesner is infrequently found.

Description: Trifari 1989 Blue/Clear Maltese Cross Brooch - Though this is a later piece, it is extremely well made and worthy of any collection (I believe this is a re-issue of an earlier Trifari design, done in a different color scheme than the original). At any rate, this uses dark blue cabochons, light sapphire blue pears and lots of clear rhinestones. Silvertone, probably rhodium, plate, 2 3/4" x 2 1/2". I can find no flaws here. Beautiful. Item: SP1-796 Price: $59.50 US  |

Description: Mazer Front and Back Rhinestone & Pearl Earrings - One of the coolest pairs of earrings I've had, these clip so that the shorter part is in front of the ear, and the longer part hangs down behind the ear. The effect is elegant and very wearable, perfect for the bride or going out to dinner in your favorite black dress. Rhodium plate, and in excellent original condition. 1 3/8" at longest point, each section is about 3/8" at the widest point. Glass pearls are a light cream. Item: SE1-797 Price: $49.50 US |

Description: Fabulous West German Aqua Bead Fringed Bib Necklace and earrings Set - Featuring opaque unfaceted beads and translucent faceted beads in aqua, this has the look and workmanship of a Haskell piece without the price. Main necklace strand is wired, with graduating clumps of beads that are about 1 1/2" long dangling at the center. Necklace has an adjustable hook chain; clip earrings use the same motif as the dangles, and are about 1 3/4" from top of the goldtone ball. Hook is marked Western Germany (very difficult to read), otherwise no markings. The dangling beads use the fluted brass endcaps that give this a Haskellesque flair. Very flattering on and excellent condition. Because of its adjustability this should fit almost anyone, and extension chain(s) could be lengthened if needed.

Description: Weiss Black Diamond and Clear Pave Wreath Brooch - Justly famous for their black diamond rhinestone pieces, this uses an outer row of oval and round stones and an inner row of two sizes of round stones in black diamond, all prong set. This is all topset with paved leaves. 2" in diameter, quality silvertone (rhodium?) plating, beautiful and classy. Excellent condition. I have shown this in two different lighting situations; the black diamonds are the dark, top quality stones that compliment the clear rhinestone pave very nicely. Item: SP5-812 Price: $49.50 US |

Description: Crown Trifari Ruby and Clear Rhinestone Bow Brooch - Though this piece is marked Copr. Pat. Pend., it is based on Patent #151390, dated October 1948, which is identical except that the goldtone "ribbon" is pave set. Though most of the brooch is goldtone, the center pave is set in silvertone. Colored stones are the beautiful ruby red rhinestones that Trifari almost always used, a raspberry color that is kind of a cross between fire engine red and fuchsia; these are unfoiled uneven octagons. 2 1/2" x 1 3/4" at widest points, excellent condition with only a very slight yellowing on a few of the rhinestones, all of which appear to be original. A classic design that could pass for the "real McCoy". Item: SP6-800 Price: $69.50 US |

Description: FN (FM?) Dogcollar Necklace - This looks extremely similar to some of the KJL necklaces we have had in both quality, design, and construction. The mark is very hard to read, looks like FN or FM and is followed by what could be a number (87?) and a copyright symbol but it is hard to say for certain. This 9 strand glass pearl collar uses 3.5mm light cream pearls with rhinestone set terminals and stations and a center faux onyx cabochon accented with clear rhinestone set swirls. Adjustable from about 12 1/2" to 16", this could be extended if necessary. Center is about 1 7/8" wide. Excellent condition, and priced much less than a comparable KJL piece. Item: SN6-806 Price: $59.50 US  |

Description: Les Bernard Pave Set Doorknocker Earrings - This must have been a popular design for Les Bernard because I have had the top portion pave set with black rhinestones (without the doorknocker part). These are goldtone and set with all clear rhinestones. The clears are not as "white" as they originally were but still have lots of sparkle, however they are price accordingly. 1 1/2" x 1" and very three dimensional. The doorknocker part swings freely. Item: SE7-798 Price: $14.50 US |

Description: West German Cameo Necklace and Earring Set - Pendant necklace and earrings are centered with a prongset applied cameo over a faux tortoiseshell base. Filigree setting uses paste set small white pearls and smoky topaz rhinestones. Earrings are clip, 1" x 7/8", goldtone setting with clip findings marked W. Germany. Pendant is 2" in diameter, suspended from a fancy 24" chain with a pearl set safety clasp. Excellent condition. Item: SS8-811 Price: $47.50/set US |

Description: Sarah Coventry Light of the East Brooch - Excellent condition and quality, this uses enameled oval "Morroccan" looking stones in navy, red, dark green and black (photo was taken with a flash camera, I don't think you'll find the colors to look garish in person). Goldtone setting, 1 3/4" x 1 7/8". Probably from the 1960's, during a time period when Middle Eastern looking accessories were popular and sold by many different companies. Item: SP9-802 Price: $15.00 US |

Description: Sarah Coventry Austrian Lites Earrings - This olive green/pink and purple/goldtone color scheme was also used in the SC Contessa design group, and could possibly be used interchangeably if desired. These earrings are a very nice size at 1" in diameter. Clip findings are signed "Coventry" with copyright symbol. Excellent condition. Item: SE9-801 Price: $13.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Trifari Goldtone/Silvertone "Moderne" Pendant Necklace and Earrings Set - These 1970's-80's sets are gaining in popularity as prices for highend Trifari skyrocket. The design actually reminds me a little of door chimes, with the pendant portion having a graduated section from 1 7/8" to 2 5/8" that alternates goldtone and silvertone, freely suspended from a nicely done 24" chain, with the logo "Crown T" tag hanging from the springring clasp. Clip earrings also use both goldtone and silvertone "chimes" in a 1" length. Other than very mild surface scratching that is only visible in very bright light at the right angle, I find no problems. Item: SS9-813 Price: $47.50 US  |

Description: Accessocraft NYC Art Glass Brooch - I'm not sure whether this would be considered Murano glass, or what, but art glass oval cabochons in shades of navy, red, white, olive green and aqua surrounda goldtone center crest with a crown motif. Goldtone setting, 1 3/4" in diameter, excellent condition. From what I have been able to find online, this "heraldic" type of motif is not uncommon for this company, which was in business from 1930-1998, and whose plethora of designers included Anne Klein. Perfect for those with understated taste. We got a bargain, so do you. Item: SP10-808 Price: $16.50 US |

Description: Weiss Red, Green and Clear Christmas Tree Pin - This piece is shown in Mary Morrison's Christmas Tree book on p. 88, and even though she thinks this design might be a repro, she has it valued in the $85-135 range! I have priced this MUCH less, partly because it has a solder repair at the upper end of the clasp, and a few clears in the vicinity of the repair aren't as sparkly as the others (see closeup photo.) Not noticeable unless you are looking for it. The tree measures about 2 3/4" x 2", set in silvertone. Item: SP10-805 Price: $45.00 US  |

Description: BSK My Fair Lady Flower Cart Brooch - Enameled flowers are done in pink, cream, and peach enamel, with clear rhinestone centers. Green enameled leaves and a few clear accent stones finish the design. All goldtone and done in layers for a 3 dimensional effect (reverse side shows where the layers are riveted together.) 1 7/8" x 1 1/4". Excellent original condition, we have been lucky enough to find a second one of these. Item: SP12-799 Price: $47.50 US |

Description: Crescent Moon Brooch and Earrings - These certainly look like Florenza but no marking. Brass colored setting with smokey topaz and clear aurora borealis rhinestones and small glass pearls. Brooch is quite large, 2 3/4" x 2 1/4", clip earrings are 1" in diameter. Excellent condition with some of the small pearls on the brooch being replacements. Much better looking in person than in the photo, and excellent with your brown colored clothing Item: US1-762 Price: $64.50 US   |

Description: Fish Pin with Turquoise Colored Cabochons and Clear Pave - This brooch has top designer written all over it but no signature. Domed body is 3 1/4" x 1 1/4", with interesting cut out design. Turquoise glass cab "spots" and clear rhinestone set fins, tail and head, topped off with a red rhinestone eye. One clear rhinestone is a replacement, otherwise excellent original condition. No fish story here, this is a great piece. Item: UP2-764 Price: $49.50 US |

Description: Brown Lucite Victorian Revival Necklace with Topaz Rhinestones and Small Glass Pearls - Got a scoop-necked top that needs a necklace with brown? This intriguing circa 1940's piece has three unusual brown lucite "cabochons" in antique looking settings, with two topaz colored rhinestones at N-S on each link and small glass pearls at E-W on the center link, W on the left link and E on the right link. Antiqued brass setting with double link chains and a fairly elaborate foldover clasp. Necklace measures approximately 17". One link on the necklace seems to be frozen and may be a factory flaw, but is almost undetectable when worn. Nice weight, great piece.

Description: Renoir Curtain Call Comedy/Tragedy Bracelet - Much less common than the Renoir bracelet of the same theme which uses a large single charm, this link copper bracelet alternates smiling and frowning faces. Top side is very good condition with only minor surface wear, back side is slightly more worn but not bad, with no evidence of verdigris. Marked Renoir on the foldover clasp back. Perfect for the thespian. Item: XB1-207 Price: $52.50 US |

Description: Czech Teal/Clear Fringe Style Necklace -Since the original strand of graduated teal beads was too short for all but the tiniest adult, I combined it with a clear Czech bead strand to form this necklace. Approximately 17 1/2" long, the teal beads graduate from 6mm to 13mm and are separated by clear glass rondelles along the main portion and rondelles and clear beads at the back. Clear beads along the fringe also graduate, from 7mm to 11mm, with wire-wrapped tops so you don't have to worry about them falling off. Silvertone findings. If teal is your color then this is for you. Strung on beadalon for security. Item: CN1-119 Price: $69.50 US |
•••
 |
Description: Light Blue Czech Crystal Necklace - Weighty and beautiful, this uses graduating beads from 6mm to almost 15mm, which alternate with small glass rondelles. Original stringing was slightly stretched so I have restrung on beadalon for your security. Typical silver colored filigree safety clasp. 21" total. Item: CN2-120 Price: $49.50 US |
•••
|
Description: Clear and Pink Bicone Necklace on Chain - It is somewhat rare to find beads on chain because they were harder to string; usually this is a sign of a better quality piece. This uses graduated clear fancy cut bicones, alternating with rose pink small bicones. This terminates in a floral themed safety clasp that is marked gold filled (spelled out). About 17". Slight darkening inside five of the beads from chain tarnish? along bead hole, mostly toward the back, if this bothers you necklace could be taken apart and cleaned and restrung but the chain would probably be destroyed in the process. I see no chips or cracks, just a few of the usual "fleabites" along the girdles of a few beads. Item: CN2-122 Price: $46.50 US |

Description: Helix Cut Emerald AB Crystal Necklace -Very nice quality beads and lovely weight, these 11mm helix cut beads in emerald green aurora borealis are hard if not impossible to find and expensive if you do. Adjustable from about 14 1/2" to 17 1/2" maximum. Excellent condition, wonderful for Christmas. At this price you could not make this necklace from scratch. Item: CN3-123 Price: $46.50 US |

Description: Czech Clear Crystal Necklace All Large Beads - This necklace is heavy and appears to be on its original stringing but was well done and all seems to be very secure. Beads graduate slightly from almost 9mm to 13mm. Excellent condition, spring ring clasp is older but retracts fairly well. About 19" long. Item: CN4-124 Price: $49.50 US |

Description: Clear Czech Cut Crystal Beads with Black Glass Rondelles - Many people love black and white color combinations in their wardrobe and this would be perfect to go with (or try combining several of the black/clear bead necklaces in this section for a really dramatic look.) This uses graduating clear beads from 4mm to 13mm and graduating black glass rondelles. Barrell type clasp is coppery colored with signs of plating wear on one end. About 17", I have restrung this on beadalon for your security. Item: CN5-125 Price: $39.50 US |

Description: Four Strand Clear Aurora Borealis Bead Necklace - Like a strand of pearls, the 3 strand clear ab bead necklace was a staple of the 1950's; this is a more rare version with four strands. Clear AB rounds alternate in graduated sizes with clear 6mm bicones. Clear rhinestone terminals, adjustable hook and tail. Shortest strand is 12", longest 16" with 3.5" of extensions, so will fit up to a 15 1/2" neck, and could be easily lengthened at the extensions. Original, excellent condition. Often I see more expensive beads in front only, this does not seem to be the case here, with nice quality beads running the entire length of the strands. Item: CN6-126 Price: $54.50 US |

|
Description: Allco Light Sapphire Square Rhinestone Linear Link Bracelet - Though similar in style to most of Allco's bracelet production, this is a little more rare in that it uses all square, colored stones. Each link features two stones in little embossed compartments. This closes with a good click (push-in v box clasp) and is in excellent condition. 7" wearable length x 5/16". Item: NB1-249 Price: $95.00 US |

Description: Collet Set Necklace with Rectangular Blue Stones - These blue stones might be more properly be called octagonal because the corners are cut at an angle. Sapphire colored, and prong set with collar like frames on the back. Simple chain on the side terminates with a rhinestone set clasp. 16", excellent condition. This is somewhat unusual in that these necklaces usually have round or oval stones. Item: NN2-252 Price: $32.50 US  |
•••
  |
Description: Pink Bar Brooch - Not your ordinary every day bar brooch, this is large - about 3 1/2" x 1 1/8", and uses a swirled pink oval cabochon accented with pink oval cabs with white lines within (often referred to as flawed cabs, there is nothing wrong with them, it just means they look more realistic from a gemological aspect) and two white glass pearls. Circa 1930's, this is in excellent condition. Item: NP3-246 Price: $39.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |
•••
|
Description: European Coppery Bead Brooch - Made to look somewhat like Haskell with handwiring and double filigree, this features a trombone type clasp. Center stone is surrounded by copper beads that alternate with rhinestone rondelles that are quite unusual, in that the rhinestone colors are mixed on each rondelle rather than being all one color. Each rondelle uses red, green and blue rhinestones, and I see no stones missing, which is pretty unusual as well. 1 1/4" in diameter, this is for the collector who appreciates out of the ordinary. Item: NP3-245 Price: $27.50 US  |

Description: Red, Blue and Clear Cockade Brooch - This looks very patriotic, though it may be more "French" looking than American. Circa 1930's potmetal piece uses red and dark blue enameling along the ribbons' edge and red enamel at the very center, surrounded by clear rhinestones and having additional clear rhinestones running down each section of ribbon. Enameling is in quite good shape, with some wear along the edges, and the rhinestones all appear to be original. 3" x 2 1/4" Item: NP4-247 Price: $29.50 US |

Description: Pink and Clear Rhinestone Floral Brooch - One of my favorite 1930's designs, I have had this in both enameled and non-enameled versions in different colors but never in pink. Unfoiled large pink ovals are accented with foiled smaller pink ovals and pink rounds, all prong set. Clear rhinestones on the leaves and the stems. Silvertone setting, excellent condition. 2 3/4" x 1 3/4" Item: NP4-250 Price: $47.50 US |

Description: Triple Row Square Rhinestone Collarette - This looks very similar to the Catamore sterling pieces that I have seen, but this one has no marks. All clear stones are prong set, with the links attached at the top but not the bottom so that this will lay properly. Deco type push in hidden clasp, unknown metal setting. Excellent condition. 1/2" wide and 14 1/2" long, so this will be a choker length for a smaller person. Item: NN5-253 Price: $65.00 US |

Description: Marcasite and Clear Rhinestone Necklace - This is probably a fairly recent piece but I am putting it in this category because of the styling rather than the age. Leaf and floral motif is set with marcasites with the exception of a clear rhinestone on either end and one in the pendant portion. Side chain is an oxydized round snake; lobster claw clasp and adjustable length, this will extend to 17 1/2" maximum. Pewtery type setting, excellent condition. Item: NN-251 Price: $12.50 US  |

Description: Vanderbilt Hotel NY Souvenir Item? - I rarely sell anything that isn't jewelry but this item was just too unusual to pass up. Marked "The Vanderbilt Hotel N.Y." and G M Co (I am assuming this is the mark for Gorham Manufacturing Co.) with an anchor mark in a shield, followed by E P (electroplate?) and C 2172, and then a "pipe" mark which I believe is a date mark of 1911. Done in a kind of Neo-Classical bow and festoon style, this has what appears to be the Vanderbilt family crest on one side. I am assuming this was either a souvenir piece, like a miniature loving cup, or perhaps a small vase that would have perhaps had a glass insert. Approximately 3" x 1 3/4" x 1 1/4". The only other items I could find online with Vanderbilt Hotel NY on them were either postcards or a certificate. The Vanderbilt Hotel was a residential luxury hotel in Manhatten, on Park Avenue between 33rd and 34th Streets, built by Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt in 1912 and opened in 1913. Mr. Vanderbilt subsequently died during the sinking of the Lusitania. This landmark still exists today but it is my understanding that the exterior for the lower floors was redone in the 1960's. The interior bottom floor is presumably in the NYC if not National Historic Register but the future of the preservation of the building seems to be questionable. Item: NM5-248 Price: $79.50 US  |

Description: Crown Trifari "Meteor" Necklace, Brooch and Earring Set - This necklace set must have been a popular seller for Trifari; I believe I have also seen a colored rhinestone version, but this is the much more often found clear rhinestone/goldtone combination. This design was patented in 1949 (a similar necklace design was patented by Trifari in 1953); both necklace and earrings are marked Trifari and patent pending, with the earrings having the crown over the T, so it would seem likely that these were produced late 1940's. Certainly there is a nice transitional feel of part retro, with the volutes and spirals, with a more modern channel set baguette rhinestone look Excellent original condition with mild plating wear on the back on the necklace center where it would rub against the body when worn, very slight wave in pin stem on brooch. Necklace has foldover clasp and measures about 15 1/2", with chain 5mm wide and central motif 2 1/2" x 7/8". Earrings are clip, about 1 1/2" x 1/2". Brooch (not pictured) is 2 3/8" x about 1" at widest point. Item: SS1-791 Price: $87.50/demi set US   |

Description: Crown Trifari Clear Rhinestone Deco Style Double Pendant Necklace - This gorgeous piece is a Trifari design that I had never seen before; it manages to be delicate and elegant yet still an attention getter. Perfect for a bride, but also wonderful with a black dress for an evening out. The piece combines the paved circles that Trifari often used in its 1930's pieces with more modern looking elements - two larger pear shaped clear rhinestones, with baguette and round alternating sections used to suspend the pendant portions. Marked Trifari with crown and Pat Pend on the bottom pendant portion, I have not found anything to indicate that the patent went through. Beautiful rhodium plating indicates post WWII. Foldover clasp, rhinestone set link chain, neck area is about 15 3/4", with pendant portion measuring 3 1/2". Excellent original condition with one small round a little dark on the bottom pendant section and the small rhinestone in the chain links showing mild, uniform aging. Item: SN1-792 Price: $99.50 US |

Description: Crown Trifari Purple and Light Sapphire Blue Rhinestone Earrings - Silvertone setting, clip findings. Purple stones are marquises and small rounds, light sapphire rhinestones are possibly faux alexandrite because they appear to be light lavender under the halogen light by my computer! Excellent condition, about 7/8" in diameter. Item: SE2-793 Price: $23.50 US |

  |
Description: Crown Trifari Dark Brown Transparent Oval Clip Earrings - Another design that Trifari did in various colors; I have seen these pieces advertised as poured glass but it is my belief that these are just nice quality cabochons, prong set in a double layer. Set in goldtone, usual Trifari clip findings, I would guess these to be from the late 1960's-early 1970's. Perhaps you have the matching pieces? I would love to see. 3/4" x 5/8", excellent condition. People wear brown all year long, these will be earrings that you will get a lot of use out of. Item: SE2-794 Price: $22.00 US |

  |
Description: Crown Trifari Blue Aurora Borealis Rhinestone Earclips - Probably from the late 1950's -early 1960's when aurora borealis stones became the rhinestone of choice, these are in very good to excellent condition and use the top quality clip finding used by Trifari during this time period. The only flaw I can see is that there is some residual glue on one clip finding from an archaic earring pad that I can't dislodge without jeopardizing the silver plate finish. 1" x 13/16". Item: SE2-795 Price: $20.00 US |

Description: Haskell Pearl "Pinwheel" Design Screwclip Earrings - These earclips use a larger baroque glass pearl in the center and smaller baroque pearls wired into a double row of circles surrounding the center and alternating with metal rondelles. Typical adjustable screwclip findings; Miriam Haskell signature surrounds the area where finding attaches to the earring. Condition is very good, with some wear spots on the left center pearl and on various smaller baroque pearls on both earrings (please see pictures). Neither "circle" is a perfect circle but all pieces are present and the waviness seems to be intentional and unavoidable with the pattern. Because of the double row, in person, it just makes kind of a lacy effect. 1" in diameter and 3/8" deep. Item: SE2-785 Price: $69.50 US |

Description: Pearlcraft Pink Crystal and Clear Rhinestone Earrings - This is only the 2nd or 3rd pair of Pearlcraft earrings that I have had, but they are excellent quality, with lots of expensive components. The pink crystal is a really beautiful shade, a little more intense and on the blue side of pink rather than the peachier pinks. Every crystal bead is attached with a rhinestone headpin - for you beaders out there, you know how expensive rhinestone headpins are, 36 headpins in all! You could not make these earrings for this price. Signed Pearlcraft on the clip findings. A few tiny dings in the silvertone finish on the backs, otherwise excellent if not perfect condition.

Description: Lisner Translucent Leaves Necklace and Earring Set - The ultimate fall themed costume jewelry of all times, produced in several colors by Lisner; this is my favorite because it goes with most "fall" clothing. Excellent original condition with light and dark brown leaves and smoke topaz and topaz AB rhinestones. Goldtone setting, necklace is adjustable to 16" and clip earrings are 1 1/8" x 7/8". Every collector should have one of these sets. Item: SS3-780 Price: $72.50 US   |

Description: Nolan Miller Faux Ivory and Rhinestone Floral Brooch and Earring Set - Nolan Miller jewelry has been produced for a number of years so I cannot say for certain how old this set is, but the design and quality of these pieces was so nice that I felt they fit into the vintage category. Thermoplastic floral heads in creamy ivory are centered with a fleurette of clear rhinestones set in silverton and accented with pave set open leaves. Brooch is 2 1/2" x 2" and matching clip earrings are about 7/8" in diameter. As far as I can see these are in perfect condition. Nolan Miller jewelry is fairly expensive and I would guess that we have the set priced well below half of what it originally retailed for. Especially stunning against dark colors.

Description: Joan Rivers Maltese Cross Brooch and Earrings Set - Or, a square brooch set on the diagonal, if you prefer. Nonetheless nicely done and an unusual but very wearable color combination. Very nice quality unfoiled glass pear shaped stones in smokey topaz are flanked by sets of three multi prong set golden topaz marquisesand separated by filigree balls on top of a set of three small leaves, all centered with a single black diamond rhinestone. Clip earrings alternate prong set topaz marquises with slightly smaller filigree balls, all around a light smoked topaz rhinestone that is multi prong set. Brooch is 3" in diameter, earrings are 1". Setting is a pewtery colored metal. All is in perfect condition. Joan has sold her not-inexpensive jewelry on QVC for along time, I am guessing over 20 years, and I have no idea of the age of this set. Item: SS3-779 Price: $35.00/set US |

Description: Napier Black Collar Link Necklace - This impressive yet wearable piece from Napier features black enamel over goldtone metal, with slightly "S" shaped links making up the entire design. Foldover clasp is marked Napier in script with a pat number (difficult to read but I believe is 4,770,745 (I could be completely off on this number.) and the body of the piece is almost marked Napier in a rectangular shape, block letters, with a copyright symbol. Very substantial feeling, slightly over 1" wide, 18" long. Excellent if not perfect condition, any "spots" you see in the picture are lighting reflections. Item: SN4-782 Price: $20.00 US  |

Description: Florenza Citrine/Green Specialty Stone Earrings - These earrings matching a really wonderful bracelet and necklace done by Florenza, probably in the 1950's or 1960's; large top stone is 12mm, which surmount an aqua-green flatback "S" shaped stone flanked by two lime green aurora borealis rhinestones, glass pearls and topaz rhinestones. The "S" shaped stones are not in good shape, one is not bad but the other is deteriorating on the flatback; glass pearls are worn. Otherwise in quite good shape, but I am offering them at a nominal price in case you have the "S" stones and can repair these or if you need the earrings for parts, as I highly doubt that the yellow/green stones can be purchased anywhere except on another piece.

Goldtone, brooch measures about 3" x 1 1/2". Probably 1960's. As with almost every piece of Sarah Coventry we have sold, this is in excellent if not almost pristine condition.

Description: Tortolani Goldtone Pendant - While I don't normally handle this kind of item, because Tortolani is difficult to find I decided to put it on the website. Very standard pendant design circa 1960; front side is excellent, back side is slightly worn at rubbing points but photo makes it look more worn than it is in person. This came to us without a chain; in fact, bale is large enough that it would accomodate almost inside of chain/omega/ribbon that you would care to thread it on. However I have included a long (28") chain in case you need one. Pendant is 1 1/2 in diameter and kind of domed. Item: SN7-783 Price: $15.00 US  |

Description: Yellow Bead Dangle Slinky Bracelet - This is just a fun piece for those of us who love yellow. Yellow AB crystal beads, light yellow crackle glass beads and some weird funky white beads with a yellow coating alternate along the wired strand and also dangle from that main strand. The funky yellow beads are starting to show wear and you see the white that was underneath but somehow blends with the design and looks fine. Other than that, it should be noted that this is a slinky that overlaps by about 2-3" but is basically a single loop. Better for a smaller arm. Fun summertime jewelry. Item: UB8-755 Price: $18.50 US |

Description: Matisse White Enamel Necklace - What a striking piece for someone with darker skin or a nice suntan. Trapezoidal shaped white enamel sections are bordered with copper and flanked by oxidized "shutters" . Typical adjustable hook and tail closure with "weight" on the end of the tail. This piece has been worn by previous owner and underside shows wear as seen in picture two. One of the white trapezoids shows a tiny stain? (see third picture) and another is slightly worn on the edges. Oxidized shutters are also quite worn in spots. These flaws are only noticeable under close scrutiny but I have priced accordingly. Matisse necklaces are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Item: XN2-200 Price: $39.50 US Sorry, SOLD!  |

Description: Unsigned Copper and Green Enamel Necklace - When Renoir/Matisse was in its heyday other companies took notice and followed suit. While this is certainly made to look like a Matisse piece from a design standpoint, the findings used and the quality and look of the enamel/laquer coating do not look like Matisse. However, it is still a very attractive necklace, with a green, black and white spatter pattern with the green the predominant color and no high-gloss laquer finish. In very good-excellent condition with only a few dings to the enamel . Adjustable hook and chain back section which is copper plated but I don't believe is copper, however the front part of the necklace does look to be all copper. Adjusts up to 15". Great for fall. Item: XN2-201 Price: $29.50 US |

Description: Sterling Charm Bracelet with Western and Miscellaneous Themes - The chain portion of the bracelet is marked JB in a triangle and Sterling on the clasp female end and Pat. 3308517 on the male end. Charms are partly sterling as well, the alarm clock is marked with three numbers on the side but I cannot say for certain that the numbers are 925. Camel is unmarked but appears to be sterling, one leg broken off. Slot machine? has a hanging pennant that says Ponderosa Ranch and has an unknown mark plus some tiny letters that are almost readable. Charm itself says STEEPJ (I thought it said STER PJ but the mark is so poorly struck that it is not definite.) Thunder Bay charm does says "STER". Wyoming charm says CREA and STER. A western style vest has another Ponderosa Ranch pennant; I can't find any marks other than the same noted above on the other (both of these pennants look to be sterling). Ship (is this an oceanliner?) is marked HOLIDAY and I believe says SILVER. Very good condition, the only issue is a little corrosion where the heavy jump rings attach a few of the charms. Safety chain looks original. About 7 1/2", 43.4 grams tw. I could find no reference to the JB sterling mark in Rainwater, so unfortunately I do not know what company this is. Apparently the Ponderosa Ranch was a theme park that traded on the popularity of the television show "Bonanza". Item: XB3-203 Price: $135.00 US     |

Description: Mexican Sterling Slide Pendant - This appears to be onyx and sterling; mark is Mexico and 925, also TU-??. The number is possibly 50 but is so poorly struck that who can say. I have not cleaned this piece. 4.3g tw. 11/16" square (18mm). Bail opening is 6mm so this would accomodate a fairly sizeable chain or cord. Item: XP3-204 Price: $27.50 US |

Description: PAM Pink Confetti Lucite Bracelet - One of the nicest confetti lucite bracelets we've had in a long time, this is a lovely shade of pink with aqua, dark blue, pink, silver and gold "confetti". Goldtone setting, 1 1/2" wide and 7" wearable length. Foldover clasp, excellent condition. Item: XB5-202 Price: $39.50 US Sorry, SOLD!  |

Description: Pink Confetti Lucite Earrings - Pink with silver colored "confetti", silvertone clip findings include original "clip slips", removable clip pads.

Description: Vitrail Medium Cha-Cha Crystal Bead Expansion Bracelet Signed Japan - This piece is absolutely beautiful with its sparkling irridescent color over a dark grey bead. Goldtone setting, three beads across. Marked Japan on inside of expansion band. This piece has an original hang tag of $10.00 which is included so I think it is safe to assume the piece is unworn, and for that price would indicate a better quality piece for the 1950's-60's. Bring this up to current prices and you would have a much higher price than what we have it priced at. Item: CB1-116 Price: $42.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Allco Emerald Green and Clear Rhinestone 1930's Hinged Bangle - Very similar to item NB1-187, this is done in green and clear and the rhinestone design on the front goes all the way around the entire piece rather than having the back half set with clear rounds. Usual etched design on top and bottom edge, this one also has an intact and original safety chain with a thumbless closure so that it can be detached if you need to in order to get it on. 3/8" wide and slightly over 2 1/8" in diameter, so better for a smaller wrist. Other than some mild scratches on the inside of the bracelet and a little plating loss on the inside at the clasp, this is in very good-excellent condition, with some mild uniform darkening to the small rounds. Item: NB1-243 Price: $89.50 US Sorry, SOLD!  |

Description: Large Purple and Clear Rhinestone Dress Clip - Pyramidal design uses prong set rectangular purple rhinestones accented by small clear rounds.

Description: Marvella Glass Pearl & Rhinestone Bib Necklace - Of all the more recent companies that sell glass pearl necklaces, Marvella would probably be the best known. This gorgeous, showy piece features an 8mm glass pearl strand from which are suspended a slightly graduated fringe of glass pearls and unusual 4 row rhinestone rondelles. Adjustable to 16" with rhinestone set hook. Excellent condition - this came missing final pearl on tail, which I was able to match quite well, headpin is new so patina is different, but otherwise almost original condition. Item: VN1-018 Price: $45.00 US  |

Description: White Glass Pearl Triple Strand Necklace - This is a piece that would be considered a classic, to be worn for almost anything - to the office, to dinner, and even for the bride or mother of the bride or groom. Silvertone findings, this is hand-knotted. Adjustable hook closure can accomodate up to 17" neck, largest pearls are about 13mm. I can find little if any signs of wear. Lightweight but not cheap. Item: VN1-014 Price: $12.50 US |

Description: Celebrity NY 6 Strand Glass Pearl and Chain Necklace - For those who prefer a more "airy" look, this versatile piece would not only work for a member of the bridal party but as a piece to wear for work or out for the evening. Decorative clasp could also be worn to the side rather than in back if desired. Pearls are white, chain is goldtone and clasp is a push-in v style. About 23". Excellent condition, nice weight. Item: VN2-016 Price: $12.50 US  |

Description: Day into Night Reversible 3 Strand Glass Pearl Necklace - Ingenius piece with a rhinestone set side for evening and a glass pearl reversible side for day. PLUS the middle strand has spring rings on either end so you can remove and convert into a 2 strand necklace. Some of the rhinestones in the clasp are slightly yellowed (these could be replaced if it bothers you) but otherwise this is in very good-excellent vintage condition; I see one pearl that is scuffed (see 1st picture at about 8 o'clock; this is on the removable strand) and a bit of mild corrosion on the strand findings which I am leaving as I am afraid that cleaning would jeopardize the end pearls. The findings could, of course, be replaced if you wanted to restring the necklace. Cream colored, very nice quality older piece. 16". Item: VN2-017 Price: $32.50 US |
