Description: Bauer Christmas in July Tree Pin - One of Dorothy's most popular trees ever, this retired book piece (#66 of 150) was a limited edition due to the use of vintage glass floral pieces and was an almost immediate sell out when first issued. Antiqued brass setting, with translucent glass floral pieces in lilac attached with clear rhinestone headpins above a base made from a slanted rhinestone rondelle under soldered clear rhinestone chain. I have photographed this both with and without flash so you can see the colors. Grab this quick before it's gone. ONE ONLY. Item: DP4-191 Price: $150.00 US Sorry, SOLD |

Description: Light Colorado Topaz and Light Smokey Topaz Rhinestone Necklace and Earring Set - Set in goldtone, this mix of light and medium brown rhinestones is for those with daintier tastes, though there are still plenty of subtle sparkle here, with lots of small stones. Link style necklace with tiny five stone "petal" flowers in light colorado topaz with a center medium brown (slightly darker) stone. Sets of two flowers flank a larger stone on center front links, with less ornate links toward the side. Connecting links are set with two small light colorado rhinestones. Curb type chain finishes the necklace, lobster claw clasp and extension chain enables necklace to fit from a 15" to an 18" neck. Small dangling pierced earrings measure 7/8". This would not only look lovely with a special occasion gown or dress, it will even work to go with summertime tops and jeans. Very versatile. Item: OS1-182 Price: $24.50 US |

Description: Sassy South Deco Style Earrings - If you love deco styling but don't really care to spend $100 for vintage paste earrings (and don't care for screwbacks!) here is a pair of pierced earrings with all the beauty but none of the pain. Silvertone, pave set with clear rhinestones. Note the attention to detail with the center cut-out sections and the cut-out detailing. At 2 3/4" x 3/4" these make a statement of elegance that can't be missed. Item: OE1-177 Price: $17.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Incredible Purple Edlee Bracelet - I am not certain if this brand is EDLEE or ED LEE but the signature is one word. A rarely found company particularly known for using this "nautilus" type of stone, this is a sumptuous color, using purple, purple aurora borealis, lavender and the nautilus glass pieces in shades of purple with a little blue thrown in surrounding clear aurora borealis stones. All stones are pronge set, goldtone plating is in excellent condition - this is about as good as it gets. Foldover clasp, 6 3/4" x about 1 1/2" at widest point. Item: SB1-532 Price: $195.00 US Temporarily Unavailable ![]() ![]() |

Description: Beautiful Haskell Seed Pearl Bracelet - Link style bracelet in goldtone with two sizes of seed pearls surrounding a center pearl; hexagonal double filigrees with slide in clasp; signature is in oval cartouche with raised letters, safety chain. Links are connected with upper and lower jump rings. Bracelet is approximately 7 1/2" x 7/8". Some wear to pearls, with larger seed pearls showing the most wear (1 is missing). All the rest of the pearls are intact; metal shows little wear except for some on clasp inside, I can detect no verdigris. Lovely delicate look that reflects the femininity of fashion in the 1950's. Item: SB1-528 Price: $195.00 US |

Description: Magnificient Eisenberg Block E Necklace - This substantial feeling piece uses all clear keystone and baguette rhinestones with the baguettes providing the chain and the keystone adding the fringe. Slide-in clasp with safety chain (highly unusual to have a safety chain on a necklace!), 15" x 5/8". Rhodium plating is in excellent condition as are the stones, with only a few of the baguettes showing mild signs of aging. The block E mark is rare and presumably dates to the mid 1940's, though my gut instinct says that this is post WWII and more likely late 1940's-early 1950's. I have seen a matching bracelet for this.

Description: ORA Foliate Design Choker Necklace - Done in silvertone with all clear pave set rhinestones, this is one of the loveliest designs I have seen for this brand. Center of necklace has alternating larger up and down leaves, while chain portion has more of a y-shaped link made up of tiny leaves. The design goes around the entire necklace; foldover clasp is also rhinestone set. 14 3/4" x 5/8" at the widest points. All stones are there and original, excellent condition in all respects and a true masterpiece of beauty from this Chicago based company. Item: SN1-530 Price: $95.00 US ![]() |

Description: Haskell Floral Seed Pearl Earrings - Done in antiqued (Russian?) silvertone, these feature small seed pearls handwired around a center baroque glass pearl. Double filigree with small metal leaves on top; seed pearls are in groups of 5 at the base of each leaf; large baroque pearls have filigree caps on either side and are also handwired in. Screw-clips are marked Pat. 2400xxx (sorry, can't read those last numbers!). Mechanisms have a place for a dangle but no signs there were ever any there. Slightly over 3/4" in diameter. One seed pearl may be missing. Very slight signs of verdigris on a few of the tiny wires. Item: SE1-527 Price: $59.50 US |

Description: Florenza Yellow-Green Aqua Earrings - Featuring the sought-after bi-colored dentelles in a topaz yellow and emerald green over an aqua S shaped stone, and accented with cream glass pearls, small topaz rhinestones and peridot aurora borealis rhinestones. Goldtone setting, everything original and in excellent shape, with a little "glue" showing on the underside of the S stones. I have tipped the earrings to photograph so you can see this, in person you will not notice this at all if not at a certain angle, and even then it won't be as noticeable as the picture. 1 3/8" x 3/4". Item: SE1-533 Price: $29.50 US |

Description: Haskell Baroque Pearl Earrings - Cream color large baroque glass pearl is handwired in the center and surrounded by smaller prong set! glass baroque pearls. I was surprised that these were prong set rather than hand wired, but there would be not reason to prong set if they HAD been handwired. Someone "got here" before me and replaced two of the smaller baroque pearls with regular glass pearls; color wise they are a good match but obviously not original. I do not have a good match to replace with the correct ones, perhaps you do. Price reflects. 1" x 7/8", hexagonal filigree over larger filigree, screw clip mechanisms with Pat. 2400xxx, I am assuming that this color is the "Russian" gold referred to in Haskell advertising.

Description: Lisner Black Diamond/Black Diamond Aurora Borealis Demi Hoops - Emerald cut black diamond rhinestones alternate with sets of two black diamond aurora borealis round rhinestones, paste set.

Description: Bogoff Heart Link Bracelet - One of the best loved of the Bogoff designs, this is done with all clear rhinestones, which have been paste set on each heart shaped link. Heavy rhodium plate, push-in clasp and safety chain. 6 7/8", excellent condition Item: SB4-529 Price: $59.00 US |

Description: Pearlcraft Red Aurora Borealish and Clear Rhinestone Earrings - Wowee! Are these great earrings. Red aurora borealis glass beads are attached with clear rhinestone headpins around a center rhinestone ball, and more red ab beads dangle, accented by 3 graduated rhinestone rondelles above each bead. Clip findings, silvertone setting, 1 3/4" x 1". Pristine condition. Pearlcraft is a very rare name, but what few pieces I have had have been of exceptional quality. And not one of them had a pearl, glass or otherwise! So I am guessing the brand was named after someone named Pearl! If anyone has any information I'd love to hear it. Item: SE5-524 Price: $59.50 US

Description: Thelma Deutsch Starfish Pin and Earring Set - While not all of Thelma's pieces were japanned, her use of this black finish was certainly one of her "trademarks". These pieces are set with light and dark sapphire, Montana and blue aurora borealis rhinestones. The earrings are clip, 1 1/8" in diameter. The brooch is about 2 1/2" in diameter. Excellent original condition. TD sets are difficult to find. Item: SS5-521 Price: $95.00/set US |
|
Description: Otis Sterling Sapphire and Clear Rhinestone Brooch - At 2" x 1 1/4", this is a small brooch, but it is top quality in every way and could easily pass for fine jewelry. Deep blue marquises make up the flower petals in this design, and a blue baguette "ribbon" encircles the pave set stems. Leaves are also done in clear pave rhinestone. Probably rhodium plated as there are no signs of tarnish, and this is in excellent original condition in every respect. Item: SP6-518 Price: $79.50 US |

Description: Trifari Star Pin and Earrings Set - Top quality 1960's Trifari from the end of the Alfred Philippe era. All emerald green oval rhinestones are paste set in all pieces with feathery goldtone plumes as accents. Whether this is to represent seaweed growing over a starfish is unknown - we'll let you decide the interpretation. Absolutely flawless pieces, earrings are 7/8" in diameter, typical clip mechanisms for this era. Brooch is 2 5/8" in diameter. The best Trifari pieces are being snapped up by astute collectors; if you love emerald green these are definitely to be prized. Item: SS6-539 Price: $195.00 US ![]() |

Description: Claudette Aqua and Clear Earrings - A rare but highly sought after name, these are beautifully crafted and could almost pass for fine jewelry. Aqua baguettes are surrounded by lots of tiny pave set stones. Clip mechanisms, 1 1/8" x 3/4". Rhodium plate, everything in excellent condition. Slight yellow cast in photo is a reflection rather than actually part of the piece. Item: SE6-517 Price: $29.50 US |

Description: Whiting and Davis Faux Hematite Cabochon Earrings - These are part of a well known W&D design with a matching pendant necklace and cuff bracelet, so if you're looking for the earrings to match, look no further. While the plating on the back is somewhat scratched/worn (the flash camera makes this look much worse than in actuality), the fronts are in very good condition, with only a few slight scratches on one earring that can only be seen with extremely close observation. Clip mechanisms, earrings are 1 1/4" x 1". Item: SE6-519 Price: $13.50 US |

Description: Trifari Skinny Navette Necklace and Bracelet Set with All Clear Rhinestones - This 1960's Philippe design is referred to on one well-known site as a "leaves and berries" pattern - whether this was the designer's original concept or not is certainly anyone's opinion, but it is interesting to note that, like most of Trifari's designs, there was a clear version and more than one colored version. I have seen various pieces of this design in autumn colors (brown-orange-topaz) and also in a fuchsia-multi green combination. Here we have the classic all clear version. Beside the long, thin marquises there are also regular marquises, rounds and tiny baguettes. One or two of the skinny marquises have nicked points, and most of the marquises have yellowed slightly. I don't feel this detracts but if you want "brand new" you will either want to consider some stone replacement or skip this set entirely. Plating and every other aspect of this set is in excellent condition. Bracelet is slightly over 7", necklace is adjustable to 16"+. Both pieces about 3/8" wide.

Description: Trifari Faux Pearl Cabochon Button Earrings - These glass pearl cabochons were used by Trifari not only by themselves, as in this set of earrings, but also with faux turquoise and faux coral cabochons. These have a goldtone setting and use the substantial clip mechanism also used by Pennino and similar high quality brands. 1 1/4" in diameter. Plating fairly worn on underside but does not show when worn. The center pearl on one earring is a little worn, otherwise the tops are in excellent condition. Item: SE7-537 Price: $19.50 US |

Description:Trifari Clear Baguette and Round Rhinestone Bracelet & Earring Set - Silver Trifanium setting; these graceful pieces have baguettes surrounded by pave set curves. Earrings are 1" x 3/4", very elegant, with typical Trifari clipback mechanisms of the late 1950's-1960's. Link bracelet is 7" x 1/2" with baguette set foldover clasp and original safety chain. Clasp is marked Copyright (spelled out) By Trifari (with crown over the T). Some baguettes have yellowed very slightly, otherwise excellent condition. Beautiful, sparkly pieces with many, many stones. From 1962, this line was called "Reverie" and these pieces originally sold for $30.00 ($20/bracelet and $10/earrings).

Description: Trifari Glass Pearl Rhinestone Goldtone Earrings - Classic 1960's Trifari, cream colored faux pearls with clear rhinestones, all paste set. 1" x 3/4". These look like they were hardly ever worn. Item: SE7-535 Price: $13.50 US |

Description:Coro Duette with Blue Marquises and Gilt Finish - Montana blue marquise rhinestones and a goldtone finish make this an unusual duette. Gilt finish is quite worn on both top and bottom sides, otherwise in excellent condition. 3" x 1 1/2". A nice addition to a comprehensive duette collection, and very wearable. Item: SM9-522 Price: $95.00 US |

Description: Vendome Arum Hematite Pearl Bead Earrings - These are some of the most complex of all the Vendome earrings I have seen. Gold metallic (arum) and grey (hematite) finish beads are wired around a center glass pearl, and small seed pearl strands entertwine with more arum and hematite beads around the border. Usual Vendome clip findings, goldtone, slightly under 1" in either direction. Item: SE10-514 Price: $19.50 US |

Description: Vendome Light Colorado Topaz, Faux pearl and Black Diamond Aurora Borealis Beaded Earrings - Accented with goldtone leaves, these earrings have thrown in everything but the kitchen sink! About 1" in diameter, usual findings, goldtone setting. Excellent condition. Item: SE10-515 Price: $17.50 US |
|
Description: Vendome Clear and Clear Aurora Borealis Bead Earrings - Larger beads are held in place with clear rhinestone headpins, generous use of goldtone metal leaves. About 1" in diameter. Back plates show wear but otherwise these are in the usual excellent condition that Vendome pieces are almost always found in. Item: SE10-516 Price: $15.00 US |

Description: Vendome Argent and Clear Rhinestone Earrings - Argent, Spanish for silver, refers to silver metallic coated rhinestones. Rivoli (pointed top) stones/beads have been headpinned around a argented beads attached with rhinestone topped headpins. Usual Vendome screw-clip mechanism, 1" in diameter, and very sparkly. Item: SE10-513 Price: $17.50 US |

Description: BSK My Fair Lady Professor Higgins Hat Cufflinks - Done in shades of brown enamel and accented with clear and ruby colored rhinestones, these are in excellent condition with no dings in the enamel (very unusual). Though probably aimed at the men in the audience when this film was shown in the 1960's, I see no reason why they couldn't be worn by either sex if you have a shirt with French cuffs. 1" x 3/4", much more rare than the brooches. Item: SM12-520 Price: $42.50 US |
|
Description: Bogoff Clear Rhinestone Brooch - Bogoff brooches are much more rare than necklaces, bracelets, or earrings. This one is in wonderful original condition EXCEPT that the stones have yellowed. This could, of course, be restoned, but if you like things to look aged, well, here it is. Priced accordingly. 3" x 1 3/4". Item: SP12-523 Price: $24.50 US ![]() |

Description: Trifari Emerald Green and Clear Long Dangling Earrings - Exactly the same as the fuchsia earrings below but in green. Both pairs came from the same owner, a glamorous woman who had been in a lounge act in the 1960's and bought wonderful costume jewelry to go with her eveningwear. Top of the line Trifari. Item: SE12-540 Price: $165.00 (green) US |

Description: Multi Strand Necklace with Bi-Colored Drops - This goldtone necklace features two different styles of chain and two different types of drops. The larger disks are clear? or pale yellow with topaz colored clouds, while the briolette type drops are mainly topaz with some lighter yellow sections on the larger drops. Very showy and attractive. Push-in clasp is embossed in a paisley type design, nested type design goes from 14" to 22" including clasp. Nice either over clothing or against bare skin. Excellent condition.

Description: Deco Style Aqua and Clear Necklace and Bracelet Set - This lovely set is highly unusual - clamper bracelets with matching pieces are difficult to find, and the styling of this set indicates earlier pieces than the time period that one normally associates with clampers, (though I have found some that look to be late 1920's-early 1930's, however, these are not done in colored stones.) The clamper in this set is also unusual in that the stones go all the way around it rather than just being in front. Large Emerald cut aqua stones of excellent quality are prong set, while the central motif is a pave set moon from which radiate smaller aqua emerald cuts. Necklace repeats the bracelet motif and is suspended from an aqua dentelle flanked by paved strips and more aqua emerald cuts. Necklace chain is of clear rhinestones, foldover clasp is rhinetsone set. Necklace measures about 15 1/2"; bracelet is standard 2 1/2" x 2", just shy of 1" at widest point. The clear rhinestones have yellowed very slightly, commensurate with age, all stones are original and aside from very mild pitting on the bracelet plate this is in wonderful condition. If you would like earrings, there are a nice pair of Claudette earrings in the signed section that would make an excellent "marriage" with this set. Item: US1-521 Price: $149.50/set US ![]() ![]() |

Description: Japanned Brooch & Earring Set with Fuchsia/Olivine/Pink/Black Rhinestones - I am almost certain this is DeLizza and Elster aka Juliana but I have not yet had it verified. Unfoiled olive green, pink and fuchsia marquises surround a black rhinestone center made up of a large round bordered by small black rounds. Larger rounds in pink connect the marquises on the outer row; most of these rounds have darkened a little. The earrings have black, pink and olive skinny marquises and fuchsia and pink regular marquises, all atop of a black round. All stones are pronged; earrings have the 3 hole finding used by D&E. Brooch is 2 1/8" in diameter, earrings are 1 3/8" x 5/8". Other than the noted darkening these are in excellent condition. Item: US1-522 Price: $85.00/set US |

Description: Emerald Green and Clear Rhinestone Bracelet and Earrings Set - Large dark green oval rhinestones are surmounted by clear rhinestone pave crescent moon shapes. Earrings are clip and use the embossed triangular finding often found on Bogoff pieces; inside of finding marked Pat. 1967965. Bracelet is link style, rhinestone set foldover clasp and safety chain. Earrings are 3/4" x 1/2"; bracelet is 7". Excellent condition; I have replaced one chipped clear in one earring. There is a necklace in the Bogoff section that would make a wonderful marriage with this set. Item: US1-523 Price: $75.00 US Sorry, SOLD! ![]() ![]() |

Description: Light Colorado Topaz, Smokey Topaz and Aurora Borealis Rhinestone Necklace and Earring "Set" - Actually this is probably not a set, but a great marriage; it was sold to me as a set and other than the exact match I think you would be hard put to find a better match so I am including them. Huge 14mm dentelles in light Colorado topaz are dogtooth set in pairs on either side of an aurora borealis set goldtone flower, and accented with smokey topaz rhinestone marquises and rounds. Chain is done in dark brown rhinestones with graduated aurora borealis and smoked topaz rhinestone accents. All pronged set; 14mm stones are in "piecrust" settings and this is probably an unsigned Schreiner piece; necklace is adjustable to 16", with a hook and chain closure, chain has three prong set brown rhinestones dangling as a decoration. Earrings are marked "Made Austria" with rounds and marquises in the same three colors of stones as the necklace, clip findings, 1" in diameter. Item: US1-524 Price: $99.50 US ![]() ![]() |

Description: Top Quality Topaz Keystone Rhinestones and Jonquil Baguettes - All prong set, these earrings use 10 topaz "keystone" shaped rhinestones that surround light yellow baguettes set end to end. Clip findings are the type used by Pennino, but these are unsigned except for a patent number on one of the clip backs. Slightly domed, 1 1/2" x 3/4". Excellent condition and absolutely lovely.

Description: Purple Rhinestone Three Row Expansion Bracelet - A rare color for an expansion bracelet, and in excellent condition, with all stones bright and sparkly. Goldtone setting, just a little wear to the plating on one area of the inside of the bracelet Item: UB1-537 Price: $65.00 US |

Description: Smarged Pink Bead Earrings - I have seen these beads referred to as shoebutton, but they are pink glass beads with white swirls, some attached with rhinestone headpins. Also included in the mix are plae pink crystal beads and goldtone flowers set with pink rhinestones. All wired to a pierced metal grid, covered with a filigree type backplate. French clip findings. The only thing that is odd is that the back part of the earrings are silvertone and the front are goldtone! Doesn't affect the appearance. 1" in diameter. Item: UE2-539 Price: $18.50 US |

Description: Sterling Vermeil Retro Earrings with Multi Colored Rhinestones - Floral and ribbon motif earrings marked sterling on both the body and the ends of the screwback findings. Stones are all prong set, with marquises in pink, emerald green, sapphire blue, purple and topaz, around a center emerald green round. About 1 1/8" in diameter. Vermeil (goldtone plating over sterling) is in good shape, with some signs of wear on the underside. Excellent overall condition and very attractive design. Hard item to find. These would go nicely with some of the Coro Retro pieces in the signed section of the site. Item: UE2-540 Price: $28.50 US |

Description: Japanned Earrings with Clear Rhinestones - Attractive "spikey" design with paste set baguettes and rounds.

Description: Multi-Pastel Glass Moonstone Cabochon Pair of Dress Clips - Accented with black enamel and tiny clears, these gorgeous dress clips are almost certain early Trifari (TKF-KTF) but are unsigned. Top of design has small clears set in two rows flanking prong-set baguettes; glass moonstones are set in a 4-3-2-1 pyramidal design. Clip mechanisms are strong; plating on back of these mechanisms is worn down to the brass base metal, but the back of the actual piece is fine. A few of the clears are replacements, and the black enamel is worn along the edges, but for 70+ year old pieces they are really in very nice condition. Each is 1 1/2" x 1 1/4".

Description: Unsigned Miracle Dagger (Dirk) Brooch - Made in the UK (Scotland?), Miracle brand pieces reflect Scottish and Celtic designs. This brooch in the shape of a dagger has what I am assuming are glass agates with a center cabochon of "carnelian" surrounded by purple and green tooth shaped pieces, top has a mottled aqua ball. 2 1/4" by approximately 1 1/2", pewtery looking metal, quite heavy for its size. I can find no flaws. Item: UP3-526 Price: $24.00 US |

Description: Bypass Hinged Clamper Bracelet with Faux Amber Cabochons - This piece also uses white glass prong set pearls, and light and dark smoked topaz prong set rhinestones. Done in a kind of swirling floral design, small metal leaves and floral shapes are set with stones. This piece is not without its flaws, and I hesitated about putting this on the site, but I thought it was too nice a piece not to. The upper side of the clamper front is missing a flower, and the plating varies in "intensity", with the plating on the inside (not seen when worn) is completely worn off in spots and is kind of mottled where it would rub on the upper wrist. However it is a very attractive piece, with the flaws either unseen or not noticeable unless pointed out. If they don't bother you, then you get a bargain. Item: UB3-536 Price: $29.50 US ![]() |

Description: Purple and Clear Rhinestone Stylized Floral Brooch - Sparkling amethyst colored oval rhinestones are set in a 5-4-3-2-1 pyramidal design above a clear pave set foliage and stem design.

Description: Potmetal Floral Basket Brooch Enamel and Rhinestone - Made to look like the Trifari baskets and florals of the 1940's, this vintage 1940's imitation is well done and interesting in its own right. Colors are a little darker and more muted in person, more of a burgundy than a fire engine red, blue is a little more navy and yellow is a little more golden. Small rhinestones are all original; enamel has some wear but is still in quite good shape. There are places where it looks like there should be rhinestones but are a "bump" in the metal, almost like a hobnail. I can't decide whether this is on purpose to simulate a rhinestone (when rhinestones were scarce during WWII) or whether they were meant to be "punched out" and rhinestone set and just weren't.

Description: Large Fuchsia Faux Moonstone Cab Floral Brooch - At 3 3/4", this is definitely a larger piece. Fuchsia cabs top brown enameled stems that are tied with a pave ribbon. Green enameled leaves are edged with more rhinestone pave. Upper and lower halves curve toward the ribbon tie. Two of the small rhinestones are replacements; minimal enamel chipping. Rhodium? plate. Made to look like Trifari and Coro pieces of this time period, and this may, indeed, be one of these two companies' production. Item: UP8-534 Price: $79.50 US |

Description: Huge Plume Pin in All Clear Rhinestones - Book piece, shown in one of Cherie Simmonds books, this was also done in colored stones with clears and faux moonstones with clears. Here is the classic all clear version. 3 7/8" x 2 1/4" at widesst points. Larger stones are dentelles (fancy cut) rounds, which the remaining stones all clear pave. Approximately 150 stones, all look to be original. As to be expected in a legitimate 70+year old piece, most of the stones have darkened mildly, and a couple are quite dark, but I don't find this to be offensive but adds to the charm of the piece.

Description: Beaded Red Green Blue Egyptian Style Collar Necklace - This is probably European in origin. Round glass beads in red, green and blue dangle from opaque glass barrel shaped beads going both directions from a brass center chain. Old "thumbless" spring ring clasp. 15 1/4", 1 1/2" wide. Tremendous piece. A similar, not nearly as ornate piece, falsely identified as a Haskell piece, recently sold on rubylane for almost $700. I feel our price is a bargain.

Description: Paste Two Bracelets=1 Necklace - Combine this pair of paste bracelets into one necklace - two great looks for the price of one! Hidden foldover clasps make it impossible to tell where one stops and the next begins. Each bracelet is 7", so necklace makes 14"; if you need extra length a foldover clasp extender works well. Almost 7/8" wide. Yes, most of the stones have darkened and a few have a yellowish cast, but all stones are original and as this set is almost 80 years old that is to be expected. Plating is in excellent shape and these may be early Trifari pieces, though there are absolutely no markings on them. Item: NN1-169 Price: $85.00/set of two bracelets US |
