Description: Tanzanite Colored Rivoli Rhinestone Necklace and Earring Set - Large intense blue-lavender rivoli cut rhinestones in the center front of the necklace are surrounded by light lavender chatons, with the chain made up of medium sized rivolis in the same blue-lavender. Earrings use small, medium, and large rivolis, with the large again surrounded by light lavender chatons. Silvertone setting, necklace is adjustable to approximately 20", earrings are 1 3/4", pierced. Excellent value and a difficult to find color. Item: OS1-210 Price: $32.50/set US  |

Description: Fantastic Coppola e Toppo Copy in Greens & Blues - Done by a Minneapolis, MN bead artist, this incorporates both vintage Bohemian glass beads in both bi-colored and clear, Swarovski crystal in sapphire, emerald, sapphire AB and emerald AB, as well as clear, and unusual plastic beads that apparently have a solid copper core, in capri (peacock) blue and green tourmaline. Bi-colored beads are chartruse with a hint of peach Heavy enough to be substantial feeling, but the plastic beads (that do NOT look like plastic) keep if from becoming unwieldy. This is a very labor intensive piece with LOTS of components, and at about 20% of the price of a genuine CeT piece, this is well worth the price tag. Approximately 17", with the longest dangles being about 1 3/4". This was photographed with flash, so colors will be more intense in person. Super as a juxtaposition with casual clothing, this would make a knockout runway type piece for even the most elaborate of eveningwear. Item: ON1-203 Price: $285.00 US |

Description: Smokey Topaz and Light Colorado Topaz Rhinestone 5 Row Bracelet-Set in goldtone metal, this flexible cuff gives the look of alternating curves of light and dark brown (camera flash makes it almost appear that there are three colors used, but there are only two) this has an inner diameter of 2 1/8" and is about 1 1/8" wide. I would consider this an average size, but a smaller wrist could wear this without feeling that it would fall off, and a larger wrist could wear this depending on the amount of "snugness" that you comfortable with. Much nicer in person, this would be excellent with any of the brown rhinestone/goldtone pieces in this contemporary section of the site. Item: OB1-205 Price: $39.50 US |

Description: 18th Century French Style Chandelier Earrings with Glass Pearl Dangles - The same design as our pave hearts earrings, but with pearls instead of the pave hearts. The pearls actually appear to be freshwater, but we are calling them glass as to not infer an inherent value that may not be there. Slightly longer, about 2 3/8" x 3/4" at widest points. Item: OE1-211 Price: $22.50 US |

Description: Wide Teal/TealAB Rhinestone Hinged Cuff Bracelet - This is done in kind of a gunmetal-type setting, in a curved, domelike style. Small teal and teal aurora borealis rhinestones are set in alternating rows on one side, with back portion in all metal so you don't have to worry about knocking out stones on the underside. Double layered construction (very unusual in this type of piece) 1" wide, 2 1/8" x 2" diameter. Will open to about 1 1/2". Average size wrist, will fit a smaller wrist if you want to slide up a bit or don't mind a certain amount of "play". Co-ordinates well with OS1-209. Item: OB2-208 Price: $29.50 US |

Description: Cubic Zirconia Quatrefoil Dangle Earrings - Quatrefoil, literally "four leaves" is an architectural design term that can apply to these beautiful earrings. Pave set with CZ's and set in rhodium plated metal, these pierced earrings measure 2 1/4" x 3/4" at widest point. Jointed at two places for flexible movement. A vintage pair in a similar style would be 4-5x the price. I have a pair of these in my personal collection and recommend them as a heirloom of the future. Item: OE2-212 Price: $45.00 US |

Description: Black/White/Black Diamond/Hematite Look Hinged Bangle Bracelet - In kind of the same vein as the KJL animal bracelets, this non-themed bracelet has double layered construction in a graduated tube shape. Done in predominantly black enamel with white enamel flourishes, this also has silvertone spirals and pave set sections both on the sides and in the center front. At center of each end is a black glass stone, surrounded by metallic grey stones, and then bordered with black diamond rhinestones. Tight back hinge, opens at front. About 7/8" wide, at least 1/2" deep, and 2 1/4" in diameter. Average size wrist. Anything that looks like a scratch is a reflection. A great value for the price. Item: OB3-206 Price: $21.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Teal and Clear Rhinestone Hinged Bangle Bracelet - This is kind of an abstract design of clear and teal rhinestones pave set into silvertone metal. Tapered design gives a sleek feeling to this piece; 5/8" wide at widest point, 2" x 2 3/8". Average size wrist; is slim enough that this works well for a smaller wrist. Item: OB3-208 Price: $29.50 US |

Description: Fuchsia and Clear Rhinestone Hinged Bangle Bracelet - Same design as OB3-208, but in fuchsia and clear rhinestones. Don't save these for just a special occasion! They look great with a co-ordinating blazer/jacket or even just a fun top and jeans. Item: OB3-204 Price: $29.50 US |

Description: Asymmetrical Black/Clear Floral Necklace & Earring Set - Black formalwear never seems to go out of style, whether for prom, bridal party, or any other special occasion. This design is very eye-catching, with enough clear rhinestones to focus attention to your face. The necklace has 8 floral pieces, 4 down the center, three on the left side and 1 on the right, with pave set rhinestone lattice links finishing out the front half of the necklace. Back half is made up of metal links that simulate the look of the front without being stone set. Foldover clasp, two additional extenders if you need added length. Silvertone setting. The floral heads are three dimensional, with a hematite look center stone surrounded by a ring of black rhinestones above the metal petals, which are enameled in black behind black diamond stones toward the center, and the outer part of the petals are clear rhinestone set. Hematite look stones set the three small leaves at the bottom of the necklace. Matching pierced earrings also have floral heads and three small leaves, 1 3/8" long. Necklace is about 17 1/2" with each extender adding another 1 1/4" (these measurements are approximate because of the difficulty of measuring the curving links, but this should be extendable to around 20"). The only thing I am not really happy with are the metal links used in the back half of the necklace; I think you could replace this with clear rhinestone chain from another necklace if you wanted, or if you have long hair or have something that would be covering the back it would not be a problem (and perhaps I'm being overly picky here, but I do want you to know about this before purchase.)

Classic, unclutter look that is timeless and elegant. About 1 1/4" x 1/2", pierced. Item: OE3-213 Price: $35.00 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Zulu Craft Drape Necklace and Earring Set - Not our usual special occasion offering, but if you have a matte gold dress, or something that combines dark brown with matte gold, this may just be what you need. Kind of a yin-yang effect with one side starting with all gold matte seed beads, gradually adding brown seed beads, then a brown burgundy long bugle bead in the center, then up the other side with predominantly brown seed beads mixed with gold matte beads, and towards the clasp ending with all sparkling brown seed beads. I count 30 strands on the necklace! Matching pierced (french wire) earrings use the same matte gold, sparkling brown and brown burgundy bugle beads. Back of earring card says "Hand-beaded by Zulu women in Rural Kwa-Zulu, South Africa." Components plus labor more than justify the cost of this set. Item: OS3-204 Price: $49.50/set US  |

Description: Olive and Lime Green Rhinestone Chandelier earrings - If you want a dynamic pair of earrings in shades of green, take a look at these. Two sizes of teardrop or pear shaped stones dangle from the bottom, with a large pear dangling in the middle as well. The rest of the stones are round. Goldtone setting, 2 7/8" x 7/8". Whether you are wanting something for prom, special occasion or just want something to go with jeans and a top, these can go from casual to formal. Item: OE4-205 Price: $19.00 US |

Description: Fuchsia and Blush Pink Chandelier Earrings - The same design as OE4-205 above, but in fuchsia (hot pink) and light (blush) pink stones - the pears and most of the large rhinestones are fuchsia, the rest are blush. For whatever reason the pears look like dark pink in the photo but in person they are fuchsia. Silvertone, pierced. A really pretty color combination. 2 7/8" x 7/8". Item: OE4-206 Price: $19.00 US |

Description: Sassy South Aurora Borealis Rhinestone Chain Earrings - Simple but effective, these delicate sweeps use the tiniest of rhinestone chain, soldered into a square at the top with free dangling chain suspended from them. 1/4" wide, 2" at longest point. Silvertone setting, pierced. A bargain at $12.00. Item: OE4-207 Price: $12.00 US |

Description: Clear and Aurora Borealis Long Dangling Earrings - These earrings feature particularly nice quality clear unfoiled fancy cut pear shaped stones that are outlined with a pave set AB stone "frame", a look that is currently very popular in fine jewelry. The upper part of the earrings are all aurora borealis stones as well, except for the two vertical bars at top and bottom. 2 1/2" x 5/8" at the widest point, these have a fiery sparkle that will light up the room! Silvertone, pierced. Very reasonably priced. Item: OE4-209 Price: $28.00 US |

Description: Multi Color/Multi Shape Collar Necklace Set - This very popular design almost feels like someone took a handful of stones and shaped it into a necklace! Many of the less expensive versions use acrylic stones or back them on fabric (or both) rather then setting the stones in metal; we are happy to offer you an affordable version that uses glass stones paste set in metal. This uses large ovals, rivolis, fat and conventional pears, marquises and round rhinestones, all set in goldtone. Colors include emerald and olive green, rose pink, fuchsia, deep aqua, sapphire blue, light siam red, topaz and smokey topaz, and a lovely medium purple, all accented with various colored aurora borealis rounds. Adjustable chain closure should accomodate 18-22"; 2" at widest point. Pierced earrings are 1 7/8" x 3/4". Item: OS5-211 Price: $49.50/set US

Description: Multi Blue Bib Necklace and Earring Set - Done in light blue, turquoise, and a green-aqua enamel with a little taupe thrown in, and aqua, turquoise, and intense light blue rhinestones heavily sprinkled throughout! Silvertone setting, 19+", foldover clasp and two 1 1/4" extenders; earrings are dangling pierced, 1 1/2" x 3/4". This is a really marvelous color combination, pretty with an understated formal gown or even with a sheath dress for daywear. This may fit a medium to larger build better than a petite, depending on where you want the necklace to lay. Item: OS5-212 Price: $42.50/set US

Description: Deco Inspired Long Black/Black Diamond/CAD Earrings - Elegant. Classic. Subtle. Black pear shaped stones suspend from paved x's and marquis shapes, done with black diamond (grey rhinestones) stones and accented with a set of four Comet Argent Dark (CAD) stones, a deep metallic grey rhinestone sometimes referred to as hematite/hematine. 3" long by about 1/2" at widest point, darkened silvertone setting. Pierced. Enjoy these for years. Item: OE5-215 Price: $29.50 US |

Description: Light Colorado Topaz Enameled Expansion Bracelet - Truly an unusual look, this uses a light brown enameled setting, with alternating 2 and 3 rhinestones sections in a stretchie expansion bracelet. (Light colorado topaz is kind of a darkened champagne color.) Also unusual, this will fit a larger wrist better than a small one- this measures almost 8 inches without stretching; however, a smaller wrist could wear it if you don't require a snug fit; this could even be made smaller if you have the patience to restring it. Item: OB5-213 Price: $18.50 US Sorry, SOLD!

Description: Large Turquoise/Aqua Double Dangle Earrings - Bold AND beautiful. Oval turquoise colored stones are surrounded by tiny aqua rounds, which are surrounded by larger turquoise rounds. About 3 1/2" measured from the top of the french wire findings to the bottom. Much prettier in person, these are truly dynamic attention-getters Item: OE4-220 Price: $29.50 US |

Description: Purple Japanned Chandelier Earrings - Another difficult to find color combination. These earrings use large flatbacked stones that are surrounded by borders of purple rhinestones that alternate with black hobnails. Blackened setting, pierced findings. 3 1/4" long, 1 3/4" at widest point. Versatile enough to look great with formalwear, but still casual enough to be fun with jeans and the right top.

Description: Carol Collection Turquoise/ Turquoise Aurora Borealis Dangling Earrings - These are a color that we find very rarely. Not capri, not teal, not aqua, but a true turquoise and turquoise aurora borealis mix (larger rounds are turquoise AB, the rest are just turquoise.) Set in silvertone, dangling 2 3/8" x 1/2". Great for a special occasion but why not wear them with jeans and a cute top? Excellent price as well. Pierced. Item: OE3-223 Price: $15.00 US |

Description: Black/CAD Long Dangling Earrings - Okay, friends, what do I mean by CAD? The official name is Comet Argent Dark, with means a stone which is silver metallic, and the dark version (yes there is a CAL). Some people call these hematite/hematone. Most of the stones are black; the CAD stones are the smallest accent stones (10 stones on each earring, 4 on the bottom, one at the top and four on the spokes of the center section). These provide just enough sparkle to make these earrings truly stunning. 3" long, 3/4" at the widest point. Japanned setting. Item: OE3-218 Price: $29.50 US |

Description: Eisenberg Fuchsia & Purple Rhinestone Brooch and Earring Set- Circa late 1950's pieces that are absolutely beautiful. Eisenberg excelled in sparkling colored and clear rhinestone pieces, this is probably their ultimate "mixed" color combination. Brooch uses marquise, round (dentelle cut) and pear shaped purple stones, round fuchsia rhinestones, and clear pave set wings and "tree" shapes. Clip earrings use round (dentelle and chaton) and marquise purples and marquise fuchsias with clear pave set "clovers". Rhodium plate settings. Brooch is 2 1/2" x 2"; slightly domed and layered, this is about 3/8" deep. Earrings are 1 3/8" x 3/4". A few clears are replacements on the brooch, otherwise excellent original condition. Item: SS1-694 Price: $195.00/set US On HOLD |

Description: Haskell Floral Brooch - Done in antiqued (Russian?) silvertone, this charming piece has all prong set clear rhinestones, with the largest stone in the center, surrounded by smaller clears, and then 5 glass pearlized petals, then surrounded by tiny "leaves" of clear rhinestones in sets of twos and threes, with an occasional larger single stone. Just shy of 2" in diameter (about 1 7/8"), this uses the Miriam Haskell horseshoe logo. This plaque is the earliest one used by Haskell but the company used this intermittently even in the 1970's so it should not be used to definitively date a piece. I am guessing 1950's for this particular piece. The ends of the petals have, to varying extend, lost their pearlized finish, but otherwise this seems to be in excellent condition. Item: SP1-702 Price: $129.50 US |

Description: Tortolani Faux Pearl/Goldtone Demi Parure - Necklace, earring and brooch set from a rare but highly esteemed company, which was in production from 1950 to 1976. Noted for their beautiful designs and excellent workmanship, these pieces epitomize this reputation. Double chain herringbone necklace has a foldover clasp; pendant portion has a floral motif that uses large pear shaped glass pearl pieces, from which dangle 7 graduated chains in front, and five longer graduated chains in back that terminate with a stylized pineapple piece. Chains are about 16.5", pendant portion is a little over 4" at longest point. Clip earrings use the floral motif and are1 1/8" x 1" and have the orignal comfort cushions. Brooch is 2 3/4" x 2". All pieces are signed Torolani . Slight signs of wear on the pendant portion of the necklace, otherwise excellent condition. The necklace is particularly beautiful.

Description: Regency Brooch in Multi Metalics & Topaz Rhinestones - For those of you who like their sparklies a little more on the subtle side, this should fill the bill. This is a combination of arum (gold metallic rhinestone), Comet Argent Light (CAL - a lighter silver metallic rhinestone), CAD (same type stone in a darker silver, almost hematite looking) , Colorado topaz and black diamond rhinestones, all prong set in a brass setting. One marquise and the largest bottom round are replacements. 2" x 1 3/8". Lovely for a night on the town or on fall-winter apparel. Item: SP2-697 Price: $29.50 US |

Description: Lisner Fall Colors Rhinestone Necklace and Earring Set - Done in smokey topaz, Colorado topaz and topaz aurora borealis rhinestones, this is in excellent original condition with no replacements that I can see. Goldtone plating is in top condition. Little if any signs of wear, this must have been saved for special occasions. Clip earrings are 1 1/4" x 5/8", adjustable hook link necklace will accomodate up to a 16" neck. A super deal for those who love Lisner. Coordinates nicely with Lisner bracelet SB3-487 (sold separately). Item: SS3-697 Price: $48.00/set US   |

Description: Lisner Blue Faux Moonstone/Blue Rhinestone Necklace and Earring Set - A little more rare than the "just rhinestone" sets, this has light blue glass moonstone oval cabochons surrounded by light sapphire and light sapphire aurora borealis rhinestones, all set in silvertone. Clip earrings are 1 1/8" x 5/8", and adjustable hook necklace extends to 16". Two rhinestones are replacements but you will not be able to tell where they are, otherwise excellent original condition. Beautiful set. Item: SS3-692 Price: $59.50/set US   |

Description: Trifari Glass Turquoise Ballotini/Rhinestone Brooch and Earring Set - Graceful, elegant set in goldtone, excellent condition. Brooch is 3 1/4" x 1", clip earrings are slightly oval shaped at 3/4" x 7/8". One tiny clear on an earring may be a replacement? otherwise all appears to be original. Trifari advertised a very similar line in 1964 called "Samara" but the magazine ad shows pieces without clear rhinestones; but I would guess that these pieces date to approximately the mid 1960's. Item: SS3-695 Price: $48.50/set US |

Description: Lisner Multi Pastel Rhinetone Question Mark Brooch and Earring Set - I find the multi pastel by Lisner to have almost the identical appeal that the Hollycraft multi pastel pieces do. Shades of pink, jonquil, aqua, light blue, lime green and lavender are used to make these wearable with almost any pastel shade clothing. This is one of the few "dangling" styles of earring/ brooch that Lisner every used; the question mark motif was apparently quite popular at a certain point in the 1950's. The 2 1/4" x 1 1/4" brooch is all original to my knowledge; however, someone has changed the earring findings, and though they have used Lisner clips (the original findings may have been screwbacks), they have used goldtone clips instead of the silvertone that is found in the rest of the pieces. Also, the light blue dangle stones in the earrings are replacements. These flaws do not affect the wearability but need to be noted for accuracy. Brooch is excellent condition, earrings are as noted.

Description: Trifari Philippe Pastel Enamel Fur Clip - Marked with "Des. Pat No." and 119105, this design dates to February of 1940 and is one of the popular early enameled floral fur clip series. At 2 1/4" x 2", this is about average size for this genre. Pink yellow and medium blue flowers are enhanced with dark green leaves, brown and green stems, and a darker blue bow. Small clears are scattered throughout the piece, and the center of the larger pink flower uses a tiny gumdrop cabochon in emerald green. Clear stones are all original. The flowers all show mild to moderate enamel loss as seen in the picture but the leaves, stems and bow show little if any wear. Plating shows signs of wear but is mild. Price reflects noted condition. Item: SF4-703 Price: $125.00 US |

Description: Trifari Fuchsia Briolette Dangle Earrings - The briolette series is from the 1960's and was done in fuchsia, olivine, clear, black, jonquil, and sapphire blue. The fuchsia seems to be the most popular, and when you see these in person you will know why - the color is incredible. This is the most impressive of the earring styles from this series, 2" x 3/4". Excellent original condition. Item: SE4-707 Price: $69.50 US On HOLD! |

Description: Trifari Goldtone Flowing Brooch - This tailored looking brooch is large (3 3/8" x 1 3/8") and in apparently unworn condition. Perfect for work or for the person with elegant, understated taste. And the price is right! See also identical piece in silvertone. Trifari ran magazine advertising in 1965 called "Blondes" which promoted the idea of buying brooches that were made in your choice of "golden blonde" (goldtone) or "platinum blonde" (silvertone). I am guessing these are from this series. Item: SP5-704 Price: $9.50 US (goldtone) |

Description: Trifari Etoile Earrings in Lime Green - From 1959, Etoile was produced in lime green, jonquil, light sapphire, pink, and clear aurora borealis, and was a relatively expensive line, with pieces starting at $7.50 back then. This pair of earrings has the oval "moonrock" stones alternating with peridot aurora borealis pear rhinestones, all around a peridot ab oval center.

Description: Trifari Clear Rhinestone Floral Earrings - Top quality 1960's clear rhinestone earrings for this company, which features a marquise set flower, a pave leaf, a pave clover leaf and another floral? set with an unfoiled clear oval stone (unusual for Trifari to use an open-back setting and unfoiled stone). Typical 1960's goldtone setting and clip finding, about 3/4" in diameter. I am sure these match a really spectacular necklace. I replaced two missing tiny clears; marquises have yellowed slightly but uniformly. Very feminine and detailed. Item: SE6-719 Price: $19.50 US |

Description: Coro Bird in Flight - This design, which was assigned to Adolph Katz, is #151764, patented in 1948. It features a huge pendaloque pear rhinestone in the center, with a large marquise on either wing and clear pave throughout. Only the eye is a colored stone, in a raspberry red. A few of the clear pave stones near the head have darkened, and one at the tip of one wing is a replacement. Plating is excellent and is of the quality that Coro used on their top end pieces. 2 7/8" x 2 5/8". Heavy and well made. Item: SP6-720 Price: $72.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Francois Enamel, Glass Pearl and Rhinestone Brooch and Earring Set - Francois was one of three top end lines for Coro (along with Vendome and Corocraft); most of the pieces were tailored, so finding colored rhinestone or this combination of enamel, stones and faux pearls is pretty unusual. These floral designs are particularly sought after, and it is a thrill to be able to offer the brooch with matching earrings. The design is intricate and beautiful, with curling leaves surrounding the florals, of which the smallest floral heads use extremely tiny clear rhinestones. The brooch is 2 3/8" x 2 1/8"; adjustable screw-clip earrings are 1" x 7/8". Other than two tiny rhinestones on the earrings everything is original. The only thing that I see flaw-wise are an enamel "bubble" in each earring that would have been done in the factory during manufacture. An incredible set for the discerning collector.

Description: Coro Faux Moonstone, Enamel & Rhinestone Duette - While clear rhinestone duettes are not that uncommon, the ones that use colored stones are much more difficult to find, especially if they also incorporate enamel. This features three raspberry colored faux moonstone cabochons, two tone green enamel leaves and clear rhinestones (all of which are original, which is pretty rare.) Frame is marked Coro Duette with a utility patent of 1798867, and each dress clip is marked with a patent for the better "spring" mechanism, 1852188. Excellent condition, about 2" x 1".

Description: Eisenberg Original Fur Clip with Clear Rhinestones - Large, single dress and fur clips in clear rhinestones were the Eisenberg & Sons Company's bread and butter pieces during the 1930's and 40's. Used as accent pieces on their dresses (which apparently were largely black, beautifully tailored garments), these dress and fur clips ran the gamut from very basic to gorgeous, fairly complex designs. This piece uses a variety of stone shapes - rounds, baguettes, ovals, pears, and an unusual uneven octagon shape. All the large stones are prong set and in excellent condition. Smaller stones are paste set; some of the smallest have darkened to various degrees as would be expected of a piece of this age. Marked Eisenberg Original in usual dot matrix signature; also N within a circle, which was a stonesetter's mark. 2 3/8" x 2"; a beautiful and feminine piece. Item: SF10-699 Price: $175.00 US |

Description: Mazer Bros Topaz Rhinestone Bracelet - A lovely and wearable "line" type bracelet that alternates prongset baguettes and stepped cut square stones (these actually have squared corners so would be considered octagonal). The square stones are a slightly more intense shade of topaz so that the bracelet is more interesting looking. Though the piece is goldtone, the pave set clasp is silvertone (just like fine jewelry) and the foldover connector is also rhinestone set. Safety chain looks to be original, with a "thumbless" spring ring. Wearable length is just shy of 7". Outside of plating wear on the backside where it would rub against the skin, I see no problems here. All stones are original. Item: SB10-701 Price: $49.50 US |

Description: Mylu Christmas Tree Pin with Dangling Olivine AB Crystals - Shown in both the Trowbridge and the Morrison Christmas pin books, but with red crystals, the green is apparently a little harder to find. 2 1/4" x 1 7/8", goldtone setting, this is in excellent original condition.

Description: Matisse "Lyre" Brooch - A rare find. Shown in Matthew Burkholz's Copper Jewelry: A Different Lustre, this measures 2 3/8" x 1 1/2" and is done in a deep red, with black lines and little dabs of topaz colored enamel that almost look like glitter but are enamel applied over the red and black enamel. Mild scratching on back as seen in the picture and a little wear on the copper "strings" of the lyre; but enamel is fine and general condition is very, very good. Item: XP1-194 Price: $79.50 US |

Description: Matisse Solid Cuff with Enameled Inset - Shown in Matthew Burkholz's book on copper but not identified with a pattern name, this is one of the few Matisse bracelets that is not hinged. Enameled panel is made to be somewhat asymmetrical, and is done with a white background peppered with burgundy, turquoise and tan spots that flash copper metallic when turned. The cuff also graduates from 1" to 1 1/2" wide. Outside shows very mild wear to copper, enamel is fine; inside is excellent except for the part that was in contact with the back of the wrist, which has some mild pitting and a streak of something? perhaps perfume stain? that is unseen from the outside and does not affect the piece in any way. Overall extremely good if not excellent condition. Item: XB1-195 Price: $69.50 US  |

Description: 8mm Crystal Aurora Borealis Bead Strand - This is not a graduated strand; every bead is 8mm, quality and weight indicates Swarovski beads but no mark. Clasp is a rectangular push in v type, 7/8" x 3/8", all clear rhinestone set, in silvertone. Strand is 23 1/4" long, excellent condition and quality and very sparkly. This is large enough to slide over your head. Item: CN2-104 Price: $29.50 US |

Description: Laguna Triple Strand Black Glass Bead Necklace - Most of the beads we find are unmarked; however, Laguna was a top of the line company that specialized in beaded pieces, and this necklace is no exception. Thread strung, graduating strands from 5mm to 10mm, shortest strand is about 12.5", longest 15.5", with an additional 4" of tail and hook clasp, so this will fit up to a 16.5" neckline for the shortest strand. Could be easily lengthened if needed. Terminals are rhinestone set, everything is original and excellent condition. Bargain priced - you could not make this necklace for this price.

Description: Arum Crystal Single Strand Necklace - Arum is a gold metallic coating that can be used on both crystal beads and rhinestones. Because this increases the cost of the bead, it is almost always used on one side, so that as the bead turns you see both the transparent side and the opaque metallic side. This "half coat" is what you see on these beads, which include large bicones, "flying saucer" beads and the flattened rounds often used in Vendome pieces (which this may be, but clasp is not marked and is not a Vendome clasp). Maximum adjustable to 15 1/2", but could be extended. Beads are separated by goldtone crimp beads. Very pretty and sparkly, with just a tiny bit of wear to a few of the flattened rounds. Again, you could not make this piece for this bargain price. Item: CN6-106 Price: $19.50 US  |

Description: Triple 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, and with the return to popularity of multi-strand necklaces this has re-emerged as a hit! This uses good quality round clear ab beads in the front, with fire polished flattened clear ab rounds on the sides and fire polished bicones used as spacers throughout the piece. Nice weight but not heavy. Clear rhinestone terminals, adjustable hook and tail. Shortest strand is 12.5", longest 15.75" with 4" of extensions, so will fit up to a 16 1/2" neck, and could be easily lengthened at the extensions. This was "wavy" when I got it so I have completely restrung. Item: CN6-105 Price: $27.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Filigree and Unfaceted Bead Necklace - A whodunnit if I ever saw one. The design and components looks like Haskell but there are construction differences that make this improbable. Three large "maltese cross" single filigrees are used to form the bib portion of the necklace, with the tops curved over from which beads are dangled. Each bead (I think frosted glass but not certain) is almost honey colored and double end caps are used at top and bottom of each bead of all but the smaller center beads. Sides have rolled filigree beads with attached filigree domed ends. Farther back a double chain of "s" link metal is used. Clasp is a push in "v" type, and is marked sterling. It does not appear to be a replacement. Side chains and beads measure 7", bib is about 5" across, so the necklace length is about 19". Bib portion has a little over 4 1/4" of drop. A tiny bit of verdigris that is ubiquitous to all of the legitimate brass pieces has been removed. Excellent condition. Very attention getting and unlike anything I've ever had. Item: UN2-681 Price: $185.00 US Sorry, SOLD!   |

Description: Black Glass and Brass Chain Bib Necklace - A wonderful and wearable circa 1930's piece. Neck chain is about 15", thumbless clasp. Thirteen black glass beads drop from the chain at graduated lengths, with the longest falling in the center at about 3". Great "Czech" look piece, other than a little plating loss on the clasp as shown in the picture I see no flaws here. Item: UN2-680 Price: $45.00 US  |

Description: Unsigned Kramer?? Emerald Green and Clear Rhinestone Necklace - Haskell and her imitators often used a technique known loosely as "tapestry" where small roses montees/pearls/beads were put into tight rows on filigrees. Eventually someone came up with the idea to solder rows of rhinestone chain into shapes much like the look you got with tapestry, and here we see it used in a kind of foliate motif with large unfoiled green pears peeking around the corners. I believe I have seen pieces by Kramer using this technique, and this may be one of theirs. Necklace measures about 16.5", with a 2" fall at the center. Foldover clasp set with rhinestones, all appears to be original and in excellent condition. For those who love a "fine jewelry" look to their costume pieces, this would make a great addition.

Description: Double Row Goldtone/Rhinestone Leaf Choker Necklace - This looks so much like Trifari, and even has it's own "self" extender that Trifari called a "twin" clasp, but no signature. Excellent condition, with one replaced rhinestone, this measures 15 3/4" with extender, and 14 3/4" without, and 5/8" wide. With 54 individual links in the main body of the necklace, this is extremely articulated and fits like a glove. A true bargain on an elegant piece. Item: UN3-682 Price: $18.50 US  |

Description: Unsigned Bogoff?? Black Diamond and Clear Rhinestone Necklace and Earring Set - This set looks like Bogoff right down to the extension chain but no signature. Black diamond oval rhinestone links are edged with a pave section of clear rhinestones; matching clip earrings use the same stones in a triangular design. Choker style necklace adjusts up to 15", and could be extended if needed. Clip earrings are about 3/4" in diameter. Amazingly only one stone is a replacement. Rhodium plating, excellent condition. Perfect with that little black dress. Item: US4-683 Price: $59.50 US   |

Description: Wirework and Rhinestone Ball Brooch and Earring Set - This well-designed circa 1960's set reminds me of some Bergere pieces I have seen, but these are all unsigned. Brooch uses two rhinestone set half balls that are quite large, almost 7/8" each, with swirling sets of wires connecting the two. Entire brooch is 2 3/4" x 1 1/2". Matching clip earrings use the same idea, but with smaller balls that are about 3/8", with earring dimensions of 1 1/2" x 1 1/4". These look like something Joan (Christina Hendricks) on AMC's "Mad Men" would wear to the office. Excellent condition, excellent price. Item: US5-684 Price: $22.50 US  |

Description: Wide Clear Rhinestone Stretch Bracelet - At 1 1/8" wide, substantial weight and hundreds of rhinestones, this is a major bracelet for major fun and bling. 7" unstretched, this would accomodate a slightly larger than 7" wrist but if too much larger you would start to see the heavy elastic thread that holds this together (which is original). Excellent condition on exterior, inside shows some plating wear from friction from wearing. There IS a signature on one link but I cannot make it out for certain. Item: UB7-691 Price: $39.50 US |

Description: Sapphire Blue Rhinestone Expansion Bracelet - This is marked "Made in Japan" . Excellent condition, with only 3-4 interior links showing a little plating wear. About 1/2" wide and should fit almost any size wrist. Item: UB7-693 Price: $37.50 US |

Description: Long Black Shoulder Duster Earrings - These were purchased as you see them, but with no earring findings on the top, so I have added pierced findings for those of you who just don't like clips or screwbacks. (These could easily be changed to clips.) As you can see from the picture the beads are old and quite worn along the faceting lines, but if you want antique look 4" earrings for a great price, well, here they are. I could not replicate them for this price. Item: UE8-692 Price: $19.50 US |

Description: Floral Brooch with Blue Faux Moonstone Cabochons, Enamel and Rhinestones - A lovely piece, very Trifari looking, but unsigned. Baby blue glass cabochons act as flowers, while green enameled leaves and brown and green enameled stems are encircled with pave set ribbon, with additional clear rhinestone accent pieces on and around the flowers. White enameled sections are also at the base of the two larger blue moonstones. 3" x 2". Condition is very good but has enamel loss on edge of left leaf (spot on right leaf is camera reflection and NOT enamel loss) and on the center stem near the bottom. One smaller blue moonstone has a scratch and one large and one small moonstone have color wear spots. As you can see from the picture the moonstone flaws are indiscernible but have to be noted for accuracy. Absolutely charming, and quite a complex piece. Item: UP9-687 Price: $59.50 US |

Description: Thistle Motif Pin Pendant - I am pretty certain that this is a piece of unsigned Miracle jewelry, a company based in Birmingham, England that started post WWII and is still in existence today, that specializes in Scottish, Celtic, and English based designs. Center stone is 1" in diameter and could best be described as honey colored. Pewtery type metal setting. 1 3/4" square, meant to be worn at angle shown. Excellent condition with some patina.

Description: Square Rivoli Olivine Brooch - Though you cannot see it, the center stone actually flashes some gold-orange shades when turned in the light. Surrounded by 3 rows of green aurora borealis rhinestones, set in goldtone, this measures 1 5/8" in diameter and is in excellent condition. Very nice as a contrast with neutral clothing (black, white, tan) as well as coordinating with greens. Item: UP10-695 Price: $22.50 US |

Description: Light Blue Floral Glass Rhinestone Brooch - Similar to the fruit salad pieces, this is either early Trifari or a vintage wannabe. Potmetal with clear rhinestone pave, two floral glass stones and two leaf stones. 1 1/2" x 1" and very sweet. One tiny clear stone is a replacement, otherwise excellent original condition.
