Description: Haskell Baroque Pearl Earrings - Cream color large baroque glass pearl is handwired in the center and surrounded by smaller prong set! glass baroque pearls. I was surprised that these were prong set rather than hand wired, but there would be not reason to prong set if they HAD been handwired. Someone "got here" before me and replaced two of the smaller baroque pearls with regular glass pearls; color wise they are a good match but obviously not original. I do not have a good match to replace with the correct ones, perhaps you do. Price reflects. 1" x 7/8", hexagonal filigree over larger filigree, screw clip mechanisms with Pat. 2400xxx, I am assuming that this color is the "Russian" gold referred to in Haskell advertising. Item: SE2-526 Price: $36.50 US  |

Description: Eisenberg/Eisenberg Ice Clear Rhinestone Brooch & Earrings - Here is an interesting transitional set where the brooch is marked Eisenberg and the number 5355, matching earrings are marked Eisenberg Ice. I am guessing this would date this set to the 1960's, when pieces were starting to be marked "Ice" but some of the pieces were still Eisenberg in block letters (and design number was usually used on even earlier pieces.) One of the fun mysteries of costume jewelry. Small, medium and large dentelles (fancy cuts) are entwined with two sizes of navettes, with the smaller navettes surrounded by a cast pave set border, with a "cut out" between the navette and the border. Stones are in very good shape, with a little yellowing of the pave on the brooch and slight edge darkening on some of the earring large navettes. Heavy rhodium plate, earrings are 1 1/4" x 1" and brooch is about 1 3/4" in diameter. Extremely sparkly, knock your socks off bling. Item: SS2-503 Price: $145.00/set US  |

Description: Trifari Yellow Glass? Floral Necklace and Bracelet Set-I have searched for the patents for this set but have had no luck; it is my belief that this is from the time span between 1945-55. Set is goldtone with a slight rose gold cast, whether this was intentional or whether this is from patina I am not sure. While these appear to be glass rather than plastic I am not really sure, either; they are cold to the touch but am not sure if I am feeling the flowers or the metal. Both pieces are marked "Trifari Pat. Pend." and will come in the box they came in, which appears to be a 1950's Trifari velvet and satin box; interior is in good shape though exterior has some discolored parts. Necklace measures 15 1/4" x 5/8" with flat snake chain and foldover clasp. Bracelet is a link style, 7 1/4" x 5/8". The floral pieces are yellow with a bit of a green cast, not quite chartreuse but not exactly a lemon yellow, either. Excellent condition. Item: SS2-385 Price: $89.50/set with orig. box US

Description: This Coro "Emblem of the Americas" brooch is shown in the Brunialtis' American Costume Jewelry book and was apparently produced in November of 1941. Proceeds from the sale of this design were used for the Interamerican Scholarship Fund and the concept was endorsed by First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. The center flag represents the United States and the other flags, from left to right, represent in alphabetical order the countries in Latin America and South America. Note that this piece started being sold at almost the exact same time as the attack on Pearl Harbor and America's entry into WWII. Bottom line says "Amigos Siempre" - Friends Forever. Fascinating historical piece. $250.00 Item: SP2-017 Price: $250.00 US |

Description: Trifari Philippe Gold and Clear Rhinestone Swirl Brooch - Though this is only marked "Trifari Pat. Pend." , this design was, indeed, patented in March of 1953 (#169208). It is still so shiny and sparkly that my camera had a hard time focusing. Stones are in beautiful condition with only a mild speckling of the deep goldtone plating. 1 7/8" x 1 1/4" . One of the nicest designs from this era. Item: SP2-349 Price: $28.00 US |

Description: Haskell Pearl "Pinwheel" Design Screwclip Earrings - These earclips use a larger baroque glass pearl in the center and smaller baroque pearls wired into a double row of circles surrounding the center and alternating with metal rondelles. Typical adjustable screwclip findings; Miriam Haskell signature surrounds the area where finding attaches to the earring. Condition is very good, with some wear spots on the left center pearl and on various smaller baroque pearls on both earrings (please see pictures). Neither "circle" is a perfect circle but all pieces are present and the waviness seems to be intentional and unavoidable with the pattern. Because of the double row, in person, it just makes kind of a lacy effect. 1" in diameter and 3/8" deep. Item: SE2-785 Price: $69.50 US |

Description: Trifari Multi Blue Silvertone Clip Earrings - There are very few designs that Trifari didn't do at least one alternate color combination; this design is very sought after in fuchsia/amethyst/goldtone, but much less well known in light and dark sapphire rhinestone in silvertone. 1" x 7/8" at widest point, excellent condition Item: SE2-769 Price: $32.50 US |

Description: Crown Trifari Jonquil Yellow Fruit Salad Necklace and Earring Set - Trifari produced any number of "fruit salad" type pieces, starting in the 1930's and going through the 1960's; the shapes, colors, and opacity changed over the years but the idea was the same. This is a later piece, probably late 1950's or 1960's, almost reminiscent of a better quality version of the Lisner translucent leaves pieces. Light lemon translucent yellow glass leaves are set in goldtone Trifanium and alternate with clear rhinestone baguettes and rounds. Excellent condition; the only thing I see is that the chain has been lengthened on the necklace on one side for the previous owner, and this could easily be removed back to original length if desired. Marked Trifari with copyright symbol on hook; adjustable to 16 1/2" (subtract 1 3/4" if extra chain is removed), about 1/2" wide. Earrings are marked with crown and Trifari on the clip findings, 1" x 7/8". Yellow is a hot fashion color right now, and true yellow jewelry, especially in quality vintage, is difficult to find. Much prettier in person, it was impossible to get the light source right to show the true color and quality here. Item: SS2-611 Price: $99.50/set US    |

Description: Crown Trifari Purple and Light Sapphire Blue Rhinestone Earrings - Silvertone setting, clip findings. Purple stones are marquises and small rounds, light sapphire rhinestones are possibly faux alexandrite because they appear to be light lavender under the halogen light by my computer! Excellent condition, about 7/8" in diameter. Item: SE2-793 Price: $23.50 US |

Description: Florenza Trembler Bird Pin - Each wing of this piece is attached to a spring so that both wings move as the wearer moves, like the bird is going to flutter its wings and fly away. All original, done in darkened metal. Dark sapphire, light sapphire and capri blue rhinestones surround a jelly opal art glass stone. Excellent condition, 1 1/2" x 1 1/2". Item: SP2-396 Price: $59.50 US |

Description: Norseland by Coro Sterling Goose Pin -During WWII when by necessity sterling silver became the metal of choice in the costume jewelry industry, Coro produced several types of sterling pieces, including pieces with no stones whatsoever. This goose must have been one of their most popular designs. Measuring 3 1/4" x 3", this piece, which has its original patina, would warm the cockles of any bird lovers' heart. Item: SP2-176 Price: $69.50 US  |

Description: Crown Trifari Dark Brown Transparent Oval Clip Earrings - Another design that Trifari did in various colors; I have seen these pieces advertised as poured glass but it is my belief that these are just nice quality cabochons, prong set in a double layer. Set in goldtone, usual Trifari clip findings, I would guess these to be from the late 1960's-early 1970's. Perhaps you have the matching pieces? I would love to see. 3/4" x 5/8", excellent condition. People wear brown all year long, these will be earrings that you will get a lot of use out of. Item: SE2-794 Price: $22.00 US |

Description: Eisenberg Original Clear and Golden Topaz Rhinestone Fur Clip - Set in goldtone, this 2 1/4" x 1 3/4" fur clip is signed Eisenberg Original and the number 20. Clear stones have aged but still have a lot of sparkle and appear to be original. Colored stones, all ovals except for the second row from top which are rounds, are all prong set and in very good vintage condition, with small amounts of darkening around the edges of the ovals and a little speckling at the back of one. On back the fur clip points have scraped the metal which seems to be normal wear on almost all fur clips. Item: SF2-158 Price: $295.00 US |

Description: Coro "Bow" Duette with Floral Motif - While not the usual duette mechanism for Coro, I do think this is original. Both fur clips are signed Coro; the connector mechanism is signed just with "pat. pend.". Silvertone; all clear rhinestones. Some stones have darkened or yellowed slightly but certainly what one would expect for a piece that is 60-70 years old. About 2" x 1 1/4" when connected. Item: SM2-149 Price: $49.50 US |

Description: Kramer Large Goldtone Leaf Brooch - Like a tailored look but want it to be noticed? This 5 1/2" x 1 1/2" brooch should do the trick! Goldtone; leaves are stirated while stems have a shiny finish. Excellent condition. Item: SP2-159 Price: $25.00 US |

Description: Regency Pentagonal Brooch in Blues - Whether this looks like a stylized star or what to you, this substantial brooch is a wonderful stand alone or part of a grouping brooch. Gunmetal setting with grey pearlized cabochon ovals and round, and very light blue, light blue, and blue aurora borealis rhinestones. Hook and eye construction holds top layer to bottom layer. Center "pearl" has an "ouchie", and one larger stone has a tiny chip on the underside of one edge, but at this price perhaps you can just enjoy it as is. Item: SP2-151 Price: $39.00 US |

Description: Eisenberg Two Strand Clear Dentelle Bracelet - Though this piece is definitely a 1950's design, the marking is the earlier 1940's mark. Standard 7" length, 5/8" wide, push-in rhinestone clasp with safety chain. Rhodium plated silvertone metal. Each set of four dentelles is topped with the trademark paved swirl and jointed so that it conforms beautifully to the wrist. Slight yellowing of some of the stones as is typical of this type of piece. Item: SB2-145 Price: $175.00 US |

Description: Trifari Red/Red Aurora Borealis Rhinestone Bracelet - Larger red ab rhinestones alternate with sets of two red rhinestones along this link style bracelet. Gold Trifanium setting, about 7 1/4" wearable length with the red baguette set clasp. Excellent original condition, signed Trifari on the clasp. Item: SB2-730 Price: $59.50 US |

Description: Eisenberg Original Stylized Bow Brooch - EO designs ran from somewhat conventional to totally unusual, and this would have to be in the unusual part of the range. Whether this appears to be a butterfly, or a bow, with a stylized floral accent, is of course entirely up to your own taste, nonetheless it is quite beautiful. Potmetal setting has darkened a little with time. Clear rhinestones in oval, pear, marquise, emerald and round cuts, with large stones for the most part being heavy prong set and everything filled in with paste-set, relatively large pave work. I had some of the larger stones replaced, otherwise original except for a long ago done conversion from a fur clip to a brooch; findings are substantial and not the type readily available. You may wish to have it made back into a fur clip. (Contemporaneous conversions to brooches was not that uncommon, as the weight of these pieces made wearing as a fur clip almost impossible unless you were wearing a heavy blazer or coat.) Dimensions are 3" x 2 1/4", very substantial feeling. Very sparkly and will be the center of attention!! Item: SP2-394 Price: $195.00 US |

Description: Crown Trifari Red and Clear Rhinestone Nosegay Brooch - Alfred Philippe design from May 3, 1949. Patent # 153626. Four pentagonal glass flowers are centered with single clear rhinestones, with a few more sprinkled around for good measure among the flowers as well as on the underside of the leaf tips and around the ribbon tie. Golden Trifanium finish, marked Trifari with crown and Pat. Pend. 1 5/8" x 1 1/4". Very slight yellowing on a few rhinestones commensurate with age, excellent original condition. Item: SP2-731 Price: $95.00 US |

Description: Crown Trifari Teal and Capri Rhinestone Half Ball Earrings - Wowsers. A beautiful, and again, very contemporary looking color combination, done 60 years ago! Rows of stones (please notice these are all PRONG SET!!) alternate color wise in a spiral design around these 1 3/8" diameter domed earrings which are 1/2" deep. Silvertone setting, signed crown Trifari on clip findings. Of interest is also the frame that supports the clip and encloses the back, used on top of the line earrings from Trifari that had similar design ( please see back of earrings in set SS5-588). I would LOVE to see the matching pieces. Item: SE2-727 Price: $42.50 US |

Description: Crown Trifari Glass Pearl and Clear Rhinestone Dangle Clip Earrings - Classic design never goes out of style. I have seen earrings almost identical to these on the current contemporary bridal jewelry market. And, of course, you don't have to be attending a wedding to wear these - put on your little black dress, your prettiest black heels and these and go out to dinner, the theatre, the symphony - anywhere you want to look elegant. Silvertone with cream colored faux pearls and tiny pave set clears. Top pearl is 7mm and bottom is 9mm. Typical 50's-60's Trifari clip mechanism. Excellent condition, and a bargain. Item: SE2-725 Price: $12.50 US |

Description: Crown Trifari Knot Earrings with "Flawed Emerald & Ruby" Cabochons - We have had, and sold, this same design before (SE11-579); unfortunately one of the emerald glass cabochons in this pair has a tiny blemish that appears to be a bubble in the glass that burst, leaving a tiny dimple. Not noticeable except under closest magnified scrutiny, but I have priced these considerably less because of it. Approximately 1" in diameter, goldtone, with clip mechanisms marked crown Trifari with the copyright symbol. Excellent condition other than the above noted flaw. Item: SE2-726 Price: $17.50 US |

Description: Crown Trifari Blue Aurora Borealis Rhinestone Earclips - Probably from the late 1950's -early 1960's when aurora borealis stones became the rhinestone of choice, these are in very good to excellent condition and use the top quality clip finding used by Trifari during this time period. The only flaw I can see is that there is some residual glue on one clip finding from an archaic earring pad that I can't dislodge without jeopardizing the silver plate finish. 1" x 13/16". Item: SE2-795 Price: $20.00 US |

Description: Trifari "Lyre" Brooch Goldtone with Clear Rhinestones - A classic brooch from the 1960's, this features twinkling clear rhinestones in rows, wrapped up with goldtone "braid". 3" x 1 3/8", this is in excellent condition with one or two replaced clears that you will find difficult if not impossible to find. Item: SP2-810 Price: $22.50 US |
