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: Judy Lee Lime Green Bead Grape Motif Necklace - Though probably made in the 1950's-60's, this necklace is just right for today's fashions, with the ever popular lime green. Chain is not original but works well with the pendant (which is signed). Small section of plating loss at the bottom of the stem of the pendant, and beads show a little wear, only visible with very close scrutiny. Chain measures about 23"; pendant hangs an additional 2 1/4" below chain. Item: SN2-231 Price: $15.00 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: Eisenberg Clear Emerald-Cut Rhinestone Choker Necklace - Done in 8mm x 7mm rectangular cuts, this again features the 1950's Eisenberg "keyhole" adjustable clasp, and will fit up to a 15 1/2" neck. Rhodium plating. Very slight yellow of stones near the clasp as is typical of these pieces, otherwise excellent condition. Item: SN2-295 Price: $89.50 US |

Description: Trifari "Twinkles" Brooch - Done in clear rhinestones and silvertone (rhodium) plate, this 2 1/2" x 1" brooch is delicate looking but large enough to be seen. Everything looks to be in excellent original condition with very slight yellowing of the baguettes as is typical for these pieces. Leave it to Trifari to make an elegant statement with a relatively simple piece. Item: SP2-498 Price: $26.50 US |

Description: EXTREMELY RARE Eisenberg "Monarch" Brooch - You have, if you are an Eisenberg collector, seen (at least pictures of) the cleaning woman pin, the mermaid, and other sought after figural brooches. I have NEVER seen this, in any book, or any collection, in 20 years of searching. From my personal collection, this is in excellent condition with no damage to the enamel, all original stones, and only very slight spotting to brass on ball of "club". I have gone through several websites looking for this design in regard to royal crests, etc., and have not found anything specific to this particular design, though in general the lion seems to be universally used as a symbol of monarchy. Interesting split tail. Signature is the block matrix type used on Eisenberg Original pieces, but the word "Original" is not there. 4" x 1 1/2". For the comprehensive Eisenberg collection. Item: SP2-564 Price: $695.00 US Sorry, SOLD!   |

Description: Eugene Wood, Rhinestone and Glass Leaves Necklace Set - Like Haskell and DeMario, Eugene Schultz made beautiful, hand-made and hand-wired jewelry during the short approximately 10 year span that he was in business. These must have been 1940's pieces when the use of such diverse materials would have been popular. At least 5 different sizes of wooden beads are used in the triple strand necklace, which juxtaposes the refinement of rhinestone rondelles and the femininity of the mint colored glass leaves with the wood. Push in clasp with wood, signed Eugene. Necklace measures 15 3/4". Handwired clip earrings are 1" x 1 3/8". I can find no flaw in these pieces. A tremendous vintage set. Item: SS2-260 Price: $120.00 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: Trifari Clear Rhinestone Dangle Earrings - These earrings use a clip finding that I don't remember seeing on any other earrings; they predate the more commonly found clip mechanism you see in 1950's and 1960's Trifari.(See smaller picture - the green color you see is a reflection of the sweater I was wearing when I took the picture! and not anything on the earring.) Lovely showy earrings that feature pear shaped and square clear rhinestones. Bottom pears are the largest stones and are foiled and open backed. 1 3/4" long x 7/8" wide and 3/8" deep on the "ruffle". Another elegant Philippe design, this is a smaller version of the patented design 161040 from November of 1950. Item: SE2-302 Price: $45.00 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 Enamel and Rhinestone Brooch and Clip Earring Set - Done in rose pink, peacock blue and white enamel as well as two shades of green enamel on the leaves, and clear rhinestones. Shiney goldtone on the front, matte goldtone on the backs. In very close to mint condition with only a few pinpoint dings in the enamel. I was unable to find the patent for these pieces but I feel they are circa 1955-1960, using the top quality clipback mechanism that pieces of this era had. Pieces are 3 dimensional; brooch measures 3" x 1/3" and the earrings are 1" x 7/8". Top Trifari is escalating in price. Item: SS2-384 Price: $95.00 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 |
