Description: Claudette Bi-Colored Japanned Earrings - These huge main stones are unique - antique cushion cuts with a topaz streak in the middle of a light jonquil field. Japanned finish, marquises are bronze (not original). 1 1/4" x 7/8"

Item: SE12-446

Price: $28.00 US

Description: Trifari Jointed Silvertone Pendant and Earrings Set - Medallion styles are particularly popular with the babydoll or tunic style tops in fashion. Pendant is in two connected sections; round snake type chain is about 24" and pendant measures 2 1/4 " x 1 3/4". Clip earrings are 3/4" x 3/4". Very slight scratching on front of pendant is NOT noticeable when worn but price reflects. Snake chain by itself probably justifies the price

Item: SS12-411

Price: $12.50/set US

•••

Description: Jonne Taupe and White Seed Bead Earrings - The true color of the beads was difficult to get - maybe light khaki is a closer description, kind of a light green-brown, with opaque white. All hand-wired. Goldtone setting. Jonne mark is on the findings. 1 1/8" in diameter. Very good original condition.

Item: SE12-447

Price: $17.50 US

•••

Description: BSK My Fair Lady Basket Necklace - While the popular My Fair Lady brooches are still fairly easy to obtain, the necklaces, bracelets, cufflinks, etc. are NOT. This three dimensional basket is done in creams, peaches and greens, and accented with clear rhinestones. Nice quality chain measures close to 20", goldtone. Basket is about 1 1/2" in both directions. Excellent condition, everything original.

Item: SN12-680

Sorry, SOLD!

Description: BSK My Fair Lady Flower Cart Brooch - Enameled flowers are done in pink, cream, and peach enamel, with clear rhinestone centers. Green enameled leaves and a few clear accent stones finish the design. All goldtone and done in layers for a 3 dimensional effect (reverse side shows where the layers are riveted together.) 1 7/8" x 1 1/4". Excellent original condition, we have been lucky enough to find a second one of these.

Item: SP12-799

Price: $47.50 US

•••

Description: Eisenberg Original REPRO in Pink/Green/Clear - Huge 4 5/8" x 2 1/2" piece is an Eisenberg design but it was never in this size, this color combination , or plated in rose gold. Done in two layers that have been riveted together, the unfoiled pink rectangular cut stones alternate with emerald green rounds; ribbons are set with clear rhinestones. Plating is almost coppery colored. Purchased from repro artist Roberta Barnes 15+ years ago. Still, quite an incredible piece guaranteed to bring gasps from people who love really large pieces.

Description: AMCo Gold-filled Hearts and Flowers Pin Pendant - Done in aqua marquises and rounds and accented with a glass pearl and clear rhinestones, this charming sentimental piece can be worn as a brooch or as a pendant on a chain. Marked 1/20/12K GF and AMCO. 1 1/2" x 1 1/2". Very good condition with slight darkening of clears commensurate with age. Probably WWII era. The round aquas are in square settings but appear to be original. Stones became a scarce commodity during the war and manufacturers had to make do with what they could get their hands on.

Item: SPP12-742

Price: $24.50 US

•••

Description: BSK My Fair Lady Cream Enameled Hat - The cream version of the above hat SP12-419, this is in only fair to good shape as the enamel on the crown is badly ding-ed. When I got this it appeared that someone had tried to cover up the dings with nail polish, which I have removed as much as possible. The flaws actually look much worse in the picture than in person, but I have priced this very reasonably reflecting this. 1 1/2" x 1 3/8", goldtone setting.

Item: SP12-456

Price: $15.00 US

•••

Description: CRCo Goldfilled Pin Pendant Necklace and Earring Set - If you like yellow and you like "cat's eye" type stones, then this is a great set! Pin pendant is hung on a reptilian type chain with a thumbless spring ring clasp, chain is unmarked. Pin pendant is marked 1/20 12K and CR Co, with the R larger than the C and the o of Co inside the C. Pendant has six prong set small clears in the center over a metal star, which tops two layers of yellow oval stones. Earrings are screwbacks with a single yellow bezel set stone topped with 5 prong set clears. Earrings are marked 1/20 12K GF on the edges of the earscrews. Neck chain is about 15", pin pendant is 1 1/2" in diameter and earrings are 1/2" x 5/8". The only condition issue I can see here is that the clears have greyed to the point that they almost look like black diamond rhinestones, but I don't find this to be offensive at all.

Item: SS12-739

Price: $49.50 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

Item: SE12-645

Price: $24.50 US

•••

Description: Trifari Sterling Vermeil Philippe Earrings - Late 1940's ear clips with the unusual clip finding that Trifari used at this point of their production. Sometimes referred to as the "squirrel" design, this features a prong set raspberry glass cabochon topped with a cobalt blue faceted stone. Clear pave at top of the volutes is original, though the stones have darkened. Marked crown Trifari on the clip findings and sterling, pat. design no. 143989, which dates these to 1946.

Item: SE12-357

Price: $79.50 US

•••

Description: Ledo "Tank Track" Bracelet with All Clear Rhinestones - Substanial bracelet with heavy rhodium plating, hidden foldover clasp. 7 1/8" long, 1/2" wide. Multiple links make this fit beautifully. 148 stones, all but one is original. Excellent quality piece.

Price: $59.50 US

•••

Description: Trifari Philippe Overlapping Heart Brooch - Goldtone, glass cream pearls, and clear rhinestone rounds and baguettes. 2" x 1 1/2". Very good condition, with some wear to the plating and slight scuffing of the pearls, certainly to be expected in a 50+ year old piece. Marked Trifari Pat. Pend.; patent was #169209, registered in March of 1953.

Item: SP12-362

Price: $22.50 US

•••

Description: KL Artisan Glass Beaded Pendant Necklace - A lovely combination of peacock (deep aqua) blue, capri blue and black beads with an artisan glass pendant. Pendant is about 2 1/2" x 7/8"; chain is 26". Larger beads graduate in size up the sides, with black seed beads going around the back of the neck. Beads feed thru a channel on the pendant; endless strand has no clasp but will easily go over your head. Very nicely done, quite contemporary piece, probably made within the last 10-15 years.

Item: SN12-642

Price: $45.00 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: Judith Jack Sterling Marcasite Double Pendant Necklace - This is marked JJ in back to back triangles along with the word sterling, which apparently is the early mark for Judith Jack Lobster claw clasp on a rolo-type link chain, from which suspends two marcasite set pieces, one a circle and the other a rectangular shape. The circle is set on both sides with round marcasites; the rectangle shape with tiny squares and rounds, again, on both sides, so no matter which way you put the necklace on or how the dangles lay, you will see a marcasite set side! Nice attention to detail, all excellent original condition. Chain measures 18", with round dangle about 1 1/4" and rectangular dangle about 3 1/2" (measurements include chain.)

Item: XN3-189

Montana blue, fuchsia, emerald green and clear rhinestones form "v" patterns. Pin is signed Coro on the pinback and Corocraft on the body; earrings are unsigned. Other than the clears being a little discolored on body of the earrings (an easy replacement if you wish), these are in excellent shape. Shown in almost every collector book on holiday jewelry that I have seen. Brooch is 2 1/2" x 1 1/4" and earrings are 1 1/8".

Price: $95.00/set 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. Mylu was started by Lynne Gordon and Marge Borofsky in the 1960's.

Item: SP12-718

•••

Description: Hattie Carnegie "Press and Glow" Light Up Tree in Original Box - One of the ultimate finds for a tree collector and for those who love Hattie. I do not know whether this will work or not as I have not been able to find the correct battery; I am assuming the original battery would have been a hearing aid battery?? Anyway an added plus is the original presentation box, and all appear to be in excellent condition. Pin that holds the cover to the battery shut is a little loose but could be adjusted once you find the correct battery.

Item: SP12-415

Price: $125.00 US

Description: ART Christmas Wreath Brooch - A popular design for ART, this features olive green enamel topped with white enamel "snow" and accented with orange, topaz, and blue rhinestones, all topped with a red enamel bow. 1 3/4" in diameter, signed ART with copyright symbol.

Description: Lisner Translucent Fruit? Earrings in Blues - Another cousin to the fabulous Lisner translucent leaves pieces, this uses deep aqua and medium blue thermoplastic pieces that are accented with montana and blue aurora borealis rhinestones. Silvertone setting, all original and excellent, 1 1/8" x 7/8". Beautiful! Perhaps you have the matching necklace/bracelet/brooch.

Item: SE12-721

Price: $14.5US

•••

Description: JJ Penguin Christmas Tree in Red and Green Rhinestones - Many of JJ's later Christmas pieces (and pieces in general) were marketed under the name Artifacts; pieces are still signed JJ but often appear on Artifacts display cards. Known for many clever and hilarious designs, this one uses penguins with green navette bodies separated by red rhinestones. Red glass star at the top. Pewtery type metal, 2 5/8" x 1 5/8". Unusual in that this has a flat bottom. Fun piece for those who enjoy penguin pieces. Excellent condition.

Description: ART Cut Out Christmas Tree Pin with Multi Rhinestones - This particular ART design was done in both an enameled and non-enameled version (see Morrison book for non-enameled version) and uses the usual sapphire-topaz-hyacinth rhinestone combination that was standard for this company. There are some clear rhinestones here that may or may not be original; if you would like us to replace them, we can do it, but this was as found. 2 1/4" x 1 1/2", layered openwork design has olive colored enameling, goldtone.

Item: SPRLS12-100

Price: $45.00US

•••

Description: ART Candle Christmas Tree - Shown in Trowbridge, Gallina 2nd edition, and Morrison, this uses a two layered design very similar to the one above, but fills it in with filigree and accents with multicolored "balls" in blue, green, topaz, clear and orange, with clear baguette "candles". The clears in this piece showing aging, otherwise excellent condition. 2" x 1 1/2".

Item: SPRLS12-98

Price: $45.00 US

•••

Description: ART Enameled Christmas Tree Pin with Multi Rhinestones - Another book piece, this is shown enameled in Trobridge and non-enameled in Morrison. Interesting "claw" design for trunk, enameled branches reach down with the usual accents of hyacinth, blue, green and clear rhinestones. 2 3/8" x 1 1/2", double layered design. Enameling has worn a little at high points but in general is in good shape. Otherwise excellent.

Description: Weiss Candle Christmas Trees Set - The famous ultimate set for Christmas tree collectors, these use frosted baguettes for candles. Shown in Gallina, Morrison, and Trowbridge, they are known as 6 candle, 5 candle and 3 candle for the three sizes. All in excellent condition, with the smallest showing a little aging of the clear stones. 6 candle tree has a gunmetal type setting, while the other two are in the traditional brassy goldtone. All of the price guides seem to agree that the value of these, individually, is very high, so I think you will find our price for the trio quite reasonable.

Item: SPRLS12-115

Price: $495.00/all three pieces US

Description: Tancer Poinsettia Christmas Tree Pin with Green Rhinestones - Tancer and TancerII markings are a spinoff of the Mylu company, where the original founders of Mylu for Coro, sisters Marge Borofsky and Lynn Gordon formed a partnership with Michael Tancer. This piece is shown in Gallina, Morrison, and Trowbridge in various enamelings; this translucent enameling is so light that a couple of books referred to it as pink. The centers of 6 of the flowers are green rhinestones, the others are gold knobs. 2 1/2" x 1 1/2".

From 1961, shown in an advertisement called "The Cool Jewels". Excellent vintage condition, with very slight yellowing of a few of the rhinestones.
