Description: Delicate Purple Stone and Marcasite Necklace - Very pretty brass necklace with collet set and prong set purple glass stones. Brass links have a floral and leaf motif and are set with genuine marcasites. Note the pretty embossed pattern on the "collars" on the links that flank the center. Brass chain ends in old style spring ring clasp. Clasp needs to be manually retracted on occasion, you may wish to replace, but this is original as far as I know. About 15" (an extender could be easily added for a larger neck.) Item: NN2-180 Price: $69.50 US  |

Description: Small Bar Pin - Another of what appears to be a gold-filled pin, the embossed pattern seems more crudely done, but the design is put together so there is a kind of recessed trough that runs around the inner perimeter of the piece, making it look as though piece has a black inner rim. C-clasp; about 1.25" x .25". Item: NP2-0024 Price: $22.50 US |

Description: Intense Purple Deco Glass Bead Necklace - I am assuming that the color of these beads comes from the addition of gold to the bead making process. Whatever the reason, these almost glow from within, and the graduated stations in between give this piece a real geometric deco era feel. 16", old style "thumb" ring clasp. This has been restrung for your security. Item: NN2-132 Price: $39.50 US |

Description: 100 Year Old Edwardian Gold Filled Hinged Bangle - This lovely round hinged bangle bracelet is 7/16 of an inch wide, not quite 2.5" in diameter and 7.75" in circumference. Inside it is engraved with three initials (?BS) and the date Dec. 25, '07; on the opposite site, GLPCo and 1/10. Perhaps faintly rose gold depending on lighting and background. Exterior embossed pattern has a foliate motif. Any red in the pictures is a reflection. Excellent vintage condition. Item: NB2-0028 Price: $75.00 US |

Description: Brass Nouveau Style Brooch - Though the clasp would indicate that this is perhaps a late 20's-1930's era piece, the ribbon and floral motif would suggest the Nouveau style. This 3-dimensional piece is apparently a hollow brass piece with three purple glass stones bezel set, and measures 3.25" x 1.5" x .625". There is some blackening in the depressions of the designs that may either be intentional or age darkening of the brass. Item: NP2-0027 Price: $35.00 US |

Description: Goofus Glass Lily Pin - Octagonal pin with c-clasp; fancy silvertone setting. Glass is in bezel-sawtooth setting. Floral design is done in white and yellow-green enamel over a faux mother of pearl background. Glass overlay is slightly scratched but is not apparent except upon very close examination. 1 1/2" x 1 1/16". Item: NP2-0030 Price: $35.00 US |

Description: Circa1920's Buckle Brooch - This appears to have been a buckle that was converted, long ago, into a brooch, as the clasp used is a c clasp (and it was a professionally done conversion as far as the clasp is concerned). Done in potmetal, firepolished chatons and flatback rounds and baguettes, one section is marked CCC, and measures 4 1/4" x 1 1/2". Great design - I can understand why the owner didn't want to throw out the buckle. Quite a few of the clear rounds are replacements, but the colored stones are all original. Item: NP2-056 Price: $35.00 US |

Description: Pair of Dress Clips with Brass Leaves and Dark Green Glass Stones - Pairs of colored dress clips are becoming increasingly hard to find. These are probably Czech and have their original patina. All stones are prong set; clips measure 1 7/8" x 1 3/8". Item: ND2-057 Price: $65.00 US |

Description: Czechoslovakia Wood and Seed Bead Pin - All the wood beads in this piece are hand sewn into a filigree base and covered by a solid back, marked Czecho Slovakia. Beads are in a muted mustard, olive green and red orange, with various colored seed beads attaching. About 1 1/2" in diameter. Fun piece for casual clothing. Item: NP2-082 Price: $45.00 US |

Description: Multi Colored Floral Crescent Shaped Brooch - Done in moss green, citrus yellow, aqua, medium blue, and burgundy glass flowers sewn on a brass plated pierced frame; the flowers are held in place with a small silver-lined seed bead. C-clasp, about 2 1/2" x 1 1/2". As you can see from back picture, the plating has been worn; sewing seems a little amateurish but original. Top is in excellent condition with the silver lining on the seed beads darkened to a pewter color. I have seen these attributed to Miriam Haskell but feel safer in saying that this is Czech type. Item: NP2-163 Price: $25.00 US |

Description: Czech Type Red-Orange Glass Bead Crescent Brooch - Of the type that is often attributed to Miriam Haskell, this 2 1/2" x 1 1/4" piece appears to be excellent original condition, with professional stringing still intact. Brass base is decorated with 7mm opaque glass beads in a very deep orange that is almost red. These beads are held in place by what appears to be silver lined seed beads; lining has darkened with time, giving the beads a grey appearance. Slight wear marks on back. Item: NP2-162 Price: $24.50 US |

Description: 1920's Green and Clear Glass Stone Filigree Bracelet - 7 1/4" x 3/8" bracelet with green marquise and baguette bezel set stones alternating with clear bead hand set round stones set into square settings. Fancy etched detailing along edge. Many small links make this articulate beautifully, with quality push in clasp and safety; this was probably originally an expensive piece. The only flaw is that one link has been pulled (see closeup picture.) It does not affect the appearance of the piece nor do I think it is likely to pull apart if treated kindly, but I want to note it for accuracy. Also, one of the baguettes has a small chip. Very good but not excellent condition. Item: NB2-101 Price: $85.00 US |

Description: Czech Type Multi-Jeweltone Dress Clip in a Shield Design - While this is a larger (2" x 1 3/4") dress clip, I am guessing that it was originally part of a pair. Done in fire polished rhinestones in blue, red, light emerald, lavender and topaz. I replaced a few missing stones. Excellent condition. Just right to go in the center of that camisole top you're wearing out tonight! Item: ND2-084 Price: $35.00 US |

Description:1920's Briolette Necklace with Clear Glass Drops - It is very unusual to find these pieces with their original chains. 16", one rounded briolette and 6 pointed briolette glass pieces. Lovely piece. Item: NN2-133 Price: $75.00 US |

Description: Black Clear Choker Necklace - This has kind of a deco feel to it with its alternating clear spacers and jet black seed bead arrangement; certainly this piece would look great with all the black and white clothing popular right now. Graduating faceted barrel type beads in black alternate with stations of small clear and black beads to form a 14" choker (if this is too small an extender would be an easy solution). Spring ring clasp, recently restrung on silk with french wire. Very enjoyable piece to wear with casual, business or dress wear. Item: NN2-123 Price: $34.50 US |

Description: Dark Blue Briolette 1920's Necklace - Colored, goldtone version of the above necklace NN2-133. Rounded and pointed blue briolettes are suspended from delicate chain; clasp is a locking type. 16"; absolutely perfect except for missing the "thumb" on the clasp, but clasp works fine without it and is easy to operate. Rare color version. Item: NN2-161 Price: $69.50 US |

Description: Czech Type Multi Cabochon Brooch - Done in faux lapis, faux coral, faux jade and faux turquoise with a glass pearl in the center, this slightly domed circular brooch's brass setting has darkened with time. 2" in diameter makes it a nice wearable size for almost any taste. Color without glitz makes it wearable for almost any occasion. A few of the coral balls are replacements, otherwise excellent original condition. Item: NP2-141 Price: $24.50 US |

Description: Dangle Brooch with Pastel "Melon" stones - This fun and funky brooch attracts attention wherever it goes! Back side embossed pattern looks like the work of S in a Star (Fred Gray Corp.) or other manufacturers that did similar work but no marking that I can find. The melon stones have a clear rhinestone at the center of each and are done in pink, lavender and sky blue, with matching shades of enamel applied throughout the piece. 3 1/2" x 2 1/4"; unusual to find in excellent condition with all original dangles intact. Item: NP2-142 Price: $39.50 US |

Description: Frosted and Amber Colored Glass Necklace - Frosted glass in round and cone shapes are separated by amber colored faceted rondelles. Accented with three "stations" of slightly darker cone shaped honey colored frosted glass flanking a flattened frosted round. Beautiful components, safety clasp, about 20". Great by itself or layered with some of the other amber/clear necklaces on this website. Excellent condition. Item: NN2-179 Price: $59.50 US |

Description: Brass and Yellow Faux Moonstone Dress Clip - Yellow jewelry is difficult to find. This features a cut-out design and is quite 3-D. 2 1/8" x 1 1/2". Clip is tight, all excellent original condition. Charming! Item: UD4-303 Price: $24.50 US |

Description: Paste Lapel Pin - Actually I am not certain what this is and if it was originally something else. This appears to be a lapel pin or dress ornament of some sort but might have originally been a hair ornament, a buckle or ?? In person it is hard to tell if the solder was done at the time or was a repair or add on, it does not look un-original in person (camera flash makes body of the piece look light in comparison to the attachment). Anyway, an oldie with all the stones in place, potmetal with clear rhinestones, most have darkened commensurate with age but this has a nice sparkle to it. An interesting piece for a re-inactment photo. About 3" x 1 3/4". Item: NM2-170 Price: $12.50 US |

Description: Brass and Yellow Faux Moonstone Brooch - Done in a layered star motif, this features the gentle yellow glass moonstones used in jewelry in the 1930's-50's that is almost impossible to find. Brass leaves have a scrolling edge, with embossed lines for veins. Glass moonstones are sawtooth bezel set. About 2 1/4" x 2", very good condition with minor surface scratching on the brass. Item: NP2-186 Price: $24.50 US |

Description: Wood and Cord 1930's-40's Brooch - Cute casual brooch that looks kind of like something Haskell might have done but I think this is just generic. Lighter (maple?) balls are threaded thru a darker wood disk using dark brown cord; kind of acorn or bell shaped wood pieces dangle from additional cord. C clasp, 1 1/4" x 2 1/2". Excellent condition, no cracking or blemishes of any kind. Item: NP2-189 Price: $15.00 US |

Description: Fabulous Czech Dress Clip with Huge Unfoiled Glass Dentelles - Usually these pieces use regular cut chaton stones, this uses fancy cut dentelle stones - more facets mean more sparkle. These pieces that use the metal leaves always fascinate me; the leaves are almost always dark silver but the clip mechanisms are almost always goldtone; I am not certain whether the leaves were originally gold and have changed color with time or what. Clip has a little play in it but will not fall off any thicker fabric. 2" x 1 7/8", probably too large to have been half of a pair. Heavy prongs, excellent shape. Item: ND2-188 Price: $65.00 US |
