Description: Glass Briolette Necklace and Earring Set - Absolutely fabulous. Glass briolette cut beads are separated by fancy cut crystal beads and brass "wheels", with brass chain and beads and clear bicone spacers in stations around the back. Old type spring ring clasp appears to be marked goldfilled on both parts. Rhinestone topped screwback earrings are technically not a match because they are silvertone rather than brass but the briolettes are identical in size and cut and I do not think you could find anything that would be a better match. Necklace is a little over 15 1/2"; earrings dangle 1 1/4". Item: NS1-120 Price: $149.50 US |

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 On HOLD |

Description: Multi Pastel Floral and Rhinestone Brooch - If you find these pieces charming, as I do, you will also find this one unusual, with the cluster bouquet in the center that I have not ever seen on any of these pieces. Whether the floral pieces are glass or plastic are unknown, but all of the single flowers (26 of them) have a clear rhinestone at the center, with additional small clears on the potmetal "latticework". About 2 1/4" in diameter, very nice shape, a couple of the small clears have darkened around the edges but that is to be expected of a genuine 70+ year old piece. Many collectors believe these are early Trifari (TKF) but could also be L/N, S in a Star, or other companies of that time period. Item: NP1-168 Price: $49.50 US |

Description: Pair of Dress Clips with Dark Blue Baguettes - All stones original, clips work well. Potmetal setting. Some of the clears have darkened, but all are there. 1 1/4" x 3/8". Very wearable on a squared neckline. Item: ND1-089 Price: $27.50 US |

Description: Potmetal and Clear Rhinestone Floral Dress Clip - This charming piece came to us with quite a few stones missing, so it has been restoned. Clip measures 2" x 1 1/4" so could be either a single or one of a pair. I have seen the identical clip on another website - please inquire if you wish to buy both to make a pair. Item: ND1-052 Price: $20.00 US |

Description: Czech Style Choker Necklace with 6-sided Glass Stones - This piece features typical circa 1920's chain with hexagonal stones of uneven lengths; center stone is larger than the side stones and all are an unfoiled golden topaz colored glass. Original clasp had been replaced when I received it; I have replaced with a screw together clasp from that approximate time period. About 15 1/4" long. Item: NN1-048 Price: $49.50 US |

Description: Long Thin Dress Clips - Circa 1920s. A full 3" x 1" at widest point. Some yellowing of stones but appears to be pretty much original and in good shape. I have never seen a pair this long before. Item: ND1-071 Price: $25.00 US |

Description: Bohemian Garnet Brooch - This unusual piece was found in the secret compartment of an old jewelry box purchased at auction. Lovely rosecut garnets are sawtooth bezel set in a floral pattern. C type clasp may have been added; a knowledgeable Victorian dealer thought it might have been originally on a haircomb and later converted to jewelry, probably in the early 1900's. Very slight chip in one of the upper-row garnets. Item: NP1-0016 Price: $225.00 US |

Description: Bug Earrings - An entomologist I am not. I am assuming that this is a stylized bee, but I guess these could be anything. Material appears to be brass. Unusual clip mechanism suggests that these might be European made. About .75" in diameter at largest point across wing span Item: NP1-0017 Price: $15.00 US |

Description: Czecho Blue Dangling Choker Necklace - Done in almost a faux blue lace agate glass, this features a 1920's style silvertone chain with elongated diamond shapes and alternating small and medium size light blue beads. Center features a large blue round cabochon from which dangle three graduated sets of beads that match the chain. Spring ring clasp is marked Czech. Other than a small coincoidal chip at the edge of the large cabochon (see closeup) it is in excellent shape. Will fit up to a 15" neck but could easily be lengthened with any silvertone chain extender. Item: NN1-108 Price: $65.00 US |

Description: Watch Fob with Initials - This must have originally belonged to someone with the initials "DJ" as those are the initials found in script on the bottom oval on this piece. Clip mechanism and lanyard hook, marked "The D.F.B. Co", are in excellent working condition. Very small solder repair on base of one of the four decorative chains, price reflects. 4.5" from top to bottom, a little less than .75" across. Item: NM1-0019 Price: $35.00 US |

Description: White Seed Bead Braided Flapper Bead Necklace - Lariat style measures about 36" fully extended - we have knotted for photography purposes but would look much better with just a single tie. Tiny seed beads were strung and then braided. Chalk white bead terminals are about 3/8". Item: NN1-107 Price: $20.00 US |

Description: Deco Style Hinged Bangled with Emerald and Clear Rhinestones - Really nice hinged bangle with original safety chain and an alternating "checkerboard" type pattern of square rhinestones in emerald green and clear. Silvertone potmetal setting, clasp snaps tightly. Not quite a 1/2" wide, interior dimensions of 2 1/4" x 2 1/8", not quite round but not completely oval, either. No marks but many 1930's companies made pieces like this. A few clears have greyed slightly, otherwise excellent condition. Item: NB1-166 Price: $69.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Medium sized bar pin - Lovely engraved bar pin appears to be gold-filled and features a floral motif at the center (please click on picture for enlargement). Safety pin clasp appears to be unusual in that it has a springy closure mechanism that holds the clasp securely closed. About 1.75" by .5" at the widest points. Item: NP1-0022 Price: $27.50 US |

Description: Deco-style Silvertone Watch Fob - This appears to be the type of fob that would have slid on a belt. Black enameling that would have made the pattern stand out has gotten quite worn, but design is very good and still easily seen. Room perhaps for an initial to have been engraved. Probably inexpensive in its day, nonetheless a nice piece, in quite good shape and very wearable/useable for the modern day watch collector. Item: NM1-0023 Price: $18.50 US |

Description: Pretium brand 1920's era Bracelet with All Clear Stones - This brand of jewelry is extremely rare; whether or not they produced anything other than bracelets is unknown, and I have been unable to find any information on the manufacturer. Every piece that I have seen follows a similar design, a multi-link hinged style with several stones surrounding the larger stone in the center of each link. All stones are bead hand set, which accounts for them almost never missing any stones. The larger center stones in this piece have an almost frosted or opaline appearance, but I believe this is due to aging. Clasp works but a good tug will open it. 7/16" (10mm) wide, 7" long. There are not many of these around. Price reflects condition. Item: NB1-172 Price: $79.50 US |

Description: 1920's? Hinged Clear RS Bangle w Original Safety Chain - Almost all the bracelets from this era that I have seen have been link style, so in that regard this is a more rare piece; but to have a piece with an original safety chain seems even more rare. Oval shaped, 7/16" wide and inner measurement of 2 1/4" x 2". All stones appear to be original, most have darkened somewhat commensurate with age. Potmetal, clasp works well. Excellent either by itself or with a grouping of other similar bracelets. Item: NB1-138 Price: $24.50 US |

Description: Wide Victorian Hinged Bangle Bracelet with initial "R" - Less common than its narrower counterparts, this gold-filled bangle has side as well as front motifs. Over 13/16" wide, inner measurements are 2 1/8" x 2 5/8", shape is oval. Originally I thought the mark on this was FN CO. but the mark is not struck evenly and this may say PM or FM, though if FN it would be Fishel Nessler. Back and inside show light surface scratches normal with occasional wear. Clasp works but could use some adjustment. Slight damage to exterior near the hinge (see picture 4) but hinge operates. Item: NB1-139 Price: $69.50 US |

Description: Flapper Style Seed Bead Lariat with Tassles - Done in a wonderful coppery brown faceted seed bead, this piece is in excellent condition; I can find no flaw. Photographed with an extra loop around neck form, this measures 48". Make an evening special with this subtle sparkling piece. Item: NN1-140 Price: $24.50 US |

Description: Pretium brand Bracelet with Green and Clear Stones - Similar to the all clear stone bracelet above, this has a single light emerald green stone surrounded by smaller round clear stones. All stones bead hand set, clears have darkened uniformly with one being slightly darker than the rest. Plating is fairly worn on inside of the bracelet. Original safety chain is intact and is not the openable kind so this was more difficult to photograph. (Other Pretium bracelet shows no sign of ever having a safety chain.) Clasp does not hold tightly on this, though safety chain would help prevent loss. About 7" x 3/8". Rare. Price reflects condition. Item: NB1-171 Price: $89.50 US |

Description: The Nov-e-line Clear Rhinestone 1920's Bracelet - I would consider this to be a "transitional" piece that isn't quite deco styling, but is getting close. Unusual "cut out" center design. As is typical for this company, each link has three bead set clear rhinestones, with focus on the center link, which features a square center stone flanked by flat-backed baguettes. Push-in clasp, small 6 1/4" length x 3/16" width. Pristine condition. Item: NB1-156 Price: $89.50 US |

Description: Czech-style Green Leaf Dress Clip - Very similar to the above pendant. Emerald green rhinestone pear and oval shapes are surrounded by smaller, lighter emerald green round rhinestones. A really pretty piece. Clip is strong and operates easily. Item: UD4-045 Price: $45.00 US |

Description: The Nov-e-line Deco Bracelet with Glass Aqua Center Stone - Center glass stone on this piece looks almost real, close to the shade of a London Blue Topaz. Flanked by parallel and perpendicular set clear flat-back baguettes and small clear paste set rhinestones, the "band" is made of links set with bead hand set clears. Usual attention to detail with repeating pattern of stylized butterflies on each side of the links. Push in clasp, 7 1/8" x 3/4" at widest point of center, band is not quite 1/4" wide. Excellent condition except for small scratch on underside of colored glass stone. Item: NB1-173 Price: $89.50 US  |

|
Description: The Nov-e-line Topaz and Clear Rhinestone 1930's Bracelet - Similar to the piece above but probably slightly later, with a more "deco" look (characteristic links are the same). Center stone is beautifully cut in a true topaz glass, not quite as yellow as my monitor indicates. 7" x 5/8" at widest point. Clasp works well. This is in very good but not excellent condition - the small clears flanking the center stone have darkened, and one of the stones near the clasp is quite yellowed, almost brown. A few of the linkages are a little bent. None of these things affects the wearability or even the appearance but are noted for accuracy and are reflected in the price. Item: NB1-167 Price: $89.50 US  |
