Description: Romar Quality Pierced Hinged Bangle Bracelet - This is a rare piece from the late 1920's with an unfoiled dark pink "fat marquise" glass stone surrounded by an aqua colored enameled frame. Chromium finish, safety chain, excellent condition with the exception of some worn off enamel as to be expected for an 80 year old piece. Oval shaped, 2 1/8" x 2", about 5/8" wide. A nice coup for the collector of pre-Deco jewelry. Item: NB5-157 Price: $119.50 US |

Description: Oval Locket with Shield and Stripe Motif - This looks more 1920's to me, but I am not certain. 16" chain is probably not original but is what came with it. Small round stones have all uniformly darkened and all appear to be original. Clear plastic cover for picture is still there but the metal edger is not. Locket shows very little if any wear, and measures 1 3/8" x 1 1/6". I am assuming the shield was meant to be engraved with an initial but never was. Marked W&H Co. inside a heart shape on inside of the locket. Item: NN5-153 Price: $32.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Small Sash Pin - Though this may appear large in the photo, it is actually one of the smallest sash pins that I have ever had, measuring 1 3/4" x1". Typical c clasp and heavy pin steam, this features a cutwork design around a central unfoiled glass purple stone. Curved lines give this a Nouveau feel and I am guessing that this dates to the early 1900's. Brass setting. Other than the fact that the edges of the stone's table are worn as evidenced by the picture, it is in very good original condition. Item: NP5-116 Price: $20.00 US |

Description: Red Deco Brooch - Brass cut out brooch with plastic center "stone" and red guilloche enamel in a wonderful geometric pattern. 1 1/2" x 1", safety pin type c clasp. Item: NP5-0042 Price: $22.50 US |

Description: Large Dark Blue Czech Type Unfoiled Glass Brooch - Lovely heavily pronged unfoiled oval glass stones are set in silvertone and accented with small montana (navy) blue rhinestones. Quality pinback, well-made piece. Unusually large for this type of piece - 3 1/8" by not quite 1 1/2". Not old enough to be a sash pin. Beautiful piece in excellent condition. Item: NP5-110 Price: $69.50 US |

Description: Large Deco Style Brooch - While this looks somewhat like a buckle, it is not and never was one. Marked on the back "Alert Nov." on one side, and "Alert" on the other, I'm sure this was cast as a single piece. Mirror image design with three faceted red marquises on each side, channel set flat backed baguettes in the center and more baguettes running around the edges (three are replacements). All the rest of the stones are paved paste set clears, potmetal setting. 2 1/2" x 2". Item: NP5-0037 Price: $47.50 US |

Description: 1920's Sterling Line Bracelet with Clear Rhinestones - These stones appear to be bead hand set, which would have been fairly standard procedure for bracelets of this type. Clasp is a push-in type; however, only the better quality bracelets of this era seem to have safetys of some type, and this one is an ingenious swivel type (see small picture). Nice piece - a couple of the rhinestones appear to be replacements but are well done. Classic design, 6 7/8" x 3/16". Item: NB5-111 Price: $65.00 US  |

Description: Lovely Large Dress Clip with Clear Rhinestones - One of the best designs of the era when all these potmetal dress clips were made. Marquises, baguettes and rounds make up a kind of cut-out door-knocker design. At 2 1/2" x 2 3/8" this was definitely a single rather the one of a pair. A very nice size for the center of any V-necked dress, or try it in the center of a jewel-necked top. Item: ND5-099 Price: $34.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Brass Leaf Dress Clip - This smaller (2" x 1 1/2") clip may or may not have been part of a pair; seems almost too large for a pair but not large enough to definitely have been a single. However, for the modern collector, this is a nice size to wear with casual clothing on a v-neckline or clipped to a pocket or hat. I have not polished this as it has a nice patina but you may wish to remove some of the slight darkening around the edges. Nice design. Item: ND5-0036 Price: $9.50 US |

Description: Delicate Prong Set Bib Necklace - All clear unfoiled glass stones make up this lattice look design in open-backed setting, with stones ranging in size from 4.5 to 8mm. Silvertone setting. Chain is probably not original but is what came on the piece. Spring ring closure, this will fit a 16" neck. Very pretty! Item: NN5-151 Price: $39.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Locket with Coiled Hair - Whether this was to be used as a pendant for a necklace or as a substitute for a pocketwatch on a watch chain, I don't know, but it is very similar to pocket watch cases. Outside has an engine turned pattern with a floral basket motif superimposed on one side. Inside, a picture that post-dates daguerreotype photography but not by much (ferrotype?) of a man in a suit with a very large bow tie which I think was typical of dress around the Civil War. On the opposite side is a coil of braided light blonde hair. 1 1/2" in diameter. Mourning and sentimental jewelry of this type has been around since early Victorian times; blonde hair is much more rare than dark. Item: NM5-0041 Price: $195.00 US  |

Description: Baby Pin with Piece of Coral - Coral was thought to protect the wearer in Victorian times. This small coral piece is held in place by two small brass leaves; base has intricate embossed pattern around the coral, plus detail work around the edge of the oval platform and the small "steps" leading away from the central motif. What makes this piece particularly special is the back, engraved between the ends of the c clasp - Dec. 25, '90, making this piece a true antique, a Christmas gift given almost 120 years ago. Item: NP5-0043 Price: $35.00 US |

Description: Pink and Clear Glass Choker with Rhinestone Clasp - Lovely pink barrel shaped graduated beads are separated by clear glass bicones and a few pink rondelles at the center. Push-in clasp. This has been restrung for your security; clear spacers are not vintage. About 17" long. Item: NN5-136 Price: $34.50 US |

Description: Amber "Flying Saucer" Bead and Clear Necklace -Okay, these are actually bicone beads with softer edges, but they look kind of like 1930's depictions of alien spacecraft! Graduated amber colored beads alternate with unfaceted rounds in this 14" choker. Spring ring clasp - all looks original, including the stringing, which still seems quite secure. This could be extended if needed without much problem. Amber beads are uniform in color, lighting makes the center ones appear slightly darker in the picture. Item: NN5-124 Price: $34.50 US |

Description: "Glass Block" Style Clear Rhinestone Dress Clip - Cool deco styling makes this chunky dress clip interesting. Square clear rhinestones are set in rows at a right angle to each other in center front, making a 3-dimensional v-shape that is intriguing. Center is flanked by a row of clear rounds and another row of square clears. 1 1/2" x 1 5/8" x 1/4" deep. Excellent original condition. Item: ND5-054 Price: $19.50 US |

Description: Victorian Locket with Detachable Chain - Featuring a crescent moon motif so popular during this time period, this also has a detachable chain with two clasps; both clasps are the old "thumb" spring ring type. Locket has both a "pinstripe" design in the center portion and a scrolling etched design around the perimeter. Aside from a few dings in the back side of the locket I can find no flaws. Inside of case is marked, very faintly, C O & P in a triangle. Locket is 1 1/8" in diameter, chain is 20" long, and bail to locket measurement of about 1 1/2". This looks like gold-filled but I can find no marking; there is a marking on both clasps but it appears to be a company mark but even under magnification I cannot read it. Item: NN5-152 Price: $69.50 US Sorry, SOLD!

Description: World War I Era Necklace and Bracelet Set - Actually I'm not certain whether this would have been made before or after WWI but I believe it is of that time frame. Large fancy cut rhinestones are prong set in settings next to floral embossed metal settings. On the necklace small clears dangle from beneath each large clear, while on the bracelet all stones are the large fancy cut clears. A few of the large stones have yellowed a little and while they could be replaced I believe you would have to probably replace all the stones and then you would lose it's vintage look somewhat. Both necklace and bracelet have brass filigree box clasps. Necklace will fit about a 14 1/2" neck; bracelet is about 6 3/4". It continues to be more and more difficult to find this age of piece in excellent, wearable condition. Item: NS5-118 Price: $79.50 US  |

Description: Long Green Glass Flapper Style Necklace - Done as a "endless strand" i.e. no clasp, this measures just shy of 30" and has a 3 1/4" center drop. All beads appear to be in good shape, no nicks or problems that I detected. Cuts are old style; rounds have four sides with hexagonal tables. All done in a light emerald color; while there might be some slight shade variation the hue is all the same and not different - I'm not certain why the photo made some of the beads look almost aqua, they are not. Restrung for your security on dark green silk. Item: NN5-137 Price: $47.50 US  |

Description: 1930's Large Pink and Clear Rhinestone Stylized Floral Brooch - 3 1/8" x 2 1/2". This lovely piece came to me with previous "repairs" - badly done replacements. I have redone the baguettes with the correct sizes/types and removed most of the clears that were put in to replace original colored stones.There are still a few clear accent stones that are wrong replacements but I have been unable to remove them for fear of damaging the piece, but it is now very close to original colors. This is an incredible design and may be unmarked Eisenberg, well worth joining any vintage jewelry collection. Item: NP5-155 Price: $110.00 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Green and Frosted Clear Bead Necklace - This piece features gorgeous emerald green and clear glass beads that look almost like handblown glass "pears" in the center section, with frosted and pearlized clear beads and various emerald green round and seed beads making up the chain sections. Spring ring clasp looks newer and I think this may have been restrung at some point (not by me!). Approximately 20" long. Very interesting piece. Item: UN12-156 Price: $27.50 US |

Description: Large Czech Style Pendant Necklace - Multi jeweltone pendant with a floral and leaf motif. Slightly domed pendant measures 2 1/2" x 1 3/4". Chain is not original; measures 20". Item: UN3-027 Price: $39.00 US  |
