Bracelet is 7" with foldover clasp, both pieces are a little over 1/4" wide. Earrings are clip, 13/16" x 1/2". Set is in excellent if not pristine original condition. All pieces signed.

Top center is a cluster of small red aurora borealis rhinestones, surrounded by crosshatched leaves. Second layer is a border of rectangular red rhinestones, and bottom layer is a larger version of the crosshatched leaves. 1 3/4" in diameter, marked Lisner with copyright symbol. Excellent condition, I see no signs of wear. Very nice quality piece for this company. Item: SP3-762 Price: $24.50 US |

Description: Lisner Montana Blue and Sapphire Aurora borealis Rhinestone Necklace - Same design as SS3-761, but in Montana (navy) blue. Extension chains are not quite as long, adjustable to about 15" (could be added on to if desired.) Top side is fine but plating on undersides show moderate wear. Priced accordingly. Item: SN3-763 Price: $39.50 US |

Description: Pearlcraft Pink Crystal and Clear Rhinestone Earrings - This is only the 2nd or 3rd pair of Pearlcraft earrings that I have had, but they are excellent quality, with lots of expensive components. The pink crystal is a really beautiful shade, a little more intense and on the blue side of pink rather than the peachier pinks. Every crystal bead is attached with a rhinestone headpin - for you beaders out there, you know how expensive rhinestone headpins are, 36 headpins in all! You could not make these earrings for this price. Signed Pearlcraft on the clip findings. A few tiny dings in the silvertone finish on the backs, otherwise excellent if not perfect condition. Item: SE3-781 Price: $24.00 US |

Description: Lisner Translucent Leaves Necklace and Earring Set - The ultimate fall themed costume jewelry of all times, produced in several colors by Lisner; this is my favorite because it goes with most "fall" clothing. Excellent original condition with light and dark brown leaves and smoke topaz and topaz AB rhinestones. Goldtone setting, necklace is adjustable to 16" and clip earrings are 1 1/8" x 7/8". Every collector should have one of these sets. Item: SS3-780 Price: $72.50 US   |

Description: Lisner Multi Blues Necklace in Silvertone - One of Lisner's most sought-after designs, this adjustable link necklace has pear, round and marquise shaped rhinestones in sapphire blue, montana blue, light blue and aqua stones. This will accomodate up to a 16" neck; about 1/2" wide. Excellent, almost mint condition. Aqua stones seem a bit faded. Item: SN3-488 Price: $59.50 US |

Description: Lisner Light Sapphire/Light Sapphire Aurora Borealis Screwback Earrings - Done in silvertone, these are the identical design to the Lisner earrings above, just in a different color. 7/8" in diameter, excellent condition. Item: SE3-591 Price: $9.50 US |

Description: Vendome Necklace & Bracelet Set in Montana Blue - Done in a gunmetal type setting (can't really be considered "japanned" as the finish isn't glossy) this consists of a double row of dark blue rhinestones, all prong set, in curved links, separated by links set with a single larger dark blue prong set stone. Both necklace and bracelet are about 3/8" wide and follow identical designs, with both having push-in v clasps; the only difference between them obviously being the length (necklace is 13 1/2", bracelet is 7 1/2") and the bracelet has a safety chain. Both clasps have jeweled "shovels". Clasps work well; I cannot find any flaw in these pieces (except that the necklace is small). Vendome rhinestone pieces are difficult to find and a matched set in perfect shape is pretty rare. Perfect for a fine boned person with fair skin and blue eyes! All you Nicole Kidman types step forward! Item: SS3-590 Price: $79.50 US  |

Description: Vendome Glass Pearl, Rhinestone and Wired Bead 2-Strand Necklace - Vendome never ceases to amaze with the imagination in their beadwork. Creamy glass pearls in various sizes from 5mm to 11mm alternate with a "cagework" type bead done in goldtone wire that is kind of a flattened squash shape, quite intriguing looking. Each one of these wirework beads is flanked by a slated clear rhinestone wheel. Quality findings, excellent condition and very elegant. Nested design, adjusts up to 18". Item: SN3-545 Price: $49.50 US |

Description: Fabulous West German Aqua Bead Fringed Bib Necklace and earrings Set - Featuring opaque unfaceted beads and translucent faceted beads in aqua, this has the look and workmanship of a Haskell piece without the price. Main necklace strand is wired, with graduating clumps of beads that are about 1 1/2" long dangling at the center. Necklace has an adjustable hook chain; clip earrings use the same motif as the dangles, and are about 1 3/4" from top of the goldtone ball. Hook is marked Western Germany (very difficult to read), otherwise no markings. The dangling beads use the fluted brass endcaps that give this a Haskellesque flair. Very flattering on and excellent condition. Because of its adjustability this should fit almost anyone, and extension chain(s) could be lengthened if needed. Item: SS3-803 Price: $79.50/set US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Weiss Fall Colors Rhinestone Earrings - Top of the line earrings in smokey topaz, light Colorado Topaz and brown topaz aurora borealis rhinestones. larger stones are multi-prong set, smaller stones are soldered rhinestone chain. Goldtone setting, clip findings. 1 1/4" x slightly over 1/2" wide. Largest stones are approximately 11mm, Swarovski quality, excellent condition. I would love to see the matching pieces!

Item: SS3-789 Price: $38.00/set US  |

Description: Amazing Vendome Cuff Bracelet and Earring Set - Every once in awhile you find jaw-dropping pieces of jewelry that just make you say, "where did you find this?" Massive cross-over cuff has tan faux moonstones and large jonquil rhinestones along with smokey topaz and smaller jonquil rhinestones, all over a checkerboard goldtone finish. All stones are prongset; earrings have screw-clip mechanism that Vendome used but are, surprisingly, unsigned. Bracelet IS signed. Earrings are 1 1/2" in diameter, bracelet is 7/8" at hinge and 3" point to point at the front. One large jonquil has a very slight chip. Slight wear on inside of front of bracelet. This set is shown in blue in Judith Miller's Collector's Guide to Costume Jewelry and valued at considerably more than what I have this priced at. Item: SS3-547 Price: $245.00 US  |

Description: Jomaz Goldtone/Silvertone Floral Brooch - Done with a fine jewelry look using a matte goldtone for the main part of the flower and silvertone setting for the pave rhinestone leaves and floral center. Stems are a shiny goldtone. Almost 2" x 1 1/4"; stones have yellowed/darkened somewhat over the years but still have plenty of sparkle. All appears to be original. Very tiny amount of plating loss on back of one stem (see backside picture). What appears to be pitting on back of flower is a reflection and NOT there in person. Item: SP3-492 Price: $67.50 US |

Description: Lisner Faux Pearl and Rhinestone Brooch and Necklace Set - Floral themed set in goldtone. Link style necklace with each link being a flower with stem and leaves. Adjustable hook clasp, will fit up to a 17+" neck. Brooch is a bouquet of the same flower heads. Glass pearls and clear round rhinestones for accents. Brooch is 2" x 1 1/4". Very pretty and excellent original condition except that necklace extensions chain plating is worn, non-chain portion is in super shape. Item: SS3-507 Price: $40.00/set US |

Description: Trifari Cream Pearl and Silvertone Brooch - Large domed brooch in super original condition. 3" x 2" and about 1/2" deep at the center. Pinback is positioned so brooch will be worn horizontally as shown. Marked Trifari with crown and copyright symbol. Impressive and beautiful design. This was taken with a flash so unfortunately the top half of the brooch looks lighter and the bottom half looks darker than what it actually is in person. Probably from the 1960's. Item: SP3-426 Price: $29.50 US |

Description: Nolan Miller Faux Ivory and Rhinestone Floral Brooch and Earring Set - Nolan Miller jewelry has been produced for a number of years so I cannot say for certain how old this set is, but the design and quality of these pieces was so nice that I felt they fit into the vintage category. Thermoplastic floral heads in creamy ivory are centered with a fleurette of clear rhinestones set in silverton and accented with pave set open leaves. Brooch is 2 1/2" x 2" and matching clip earrings are about 7/8" in diameter. As far as I can see these are in perfect condition. Nolan Miller jewelry is fairly expensive and I would guess that we have the set priced well below half of what it originally retailed for. Especially stunning against dark colors. Item: SS3-778 Price: $45.00/set US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Duane Snowflake Necklace and Earrings - Whether this was originally intended to be a snowflake is purely conjecture on my part, but this intricate overlapping design would look smashing for Christmas or any time of year. Emerald green glass baguette and round rhinestones are interspersed with clear rhinestone pears, rounds and baguettes. Set in silvertone. Screwback earrings measure 1 1/2" long; adjustable necklace will fit up to a 15" neck. Small solder repair on one earring. All pieces marked Duane. Item: SS3-027 Price: $50.00 US |

Description: TKF Clear Dress Clip - Beautiful clip, possibly one of a pair of Clipmates. Excellent quality, all stones original, one small round missing which I will replace if you wish. 3 marquises, 7 baguettes of various sizes, and small round clear rhinestones, 1 1/2" x 1 3/4". Item: SD3-028 Price: $60.00 US |
  |
•••
|
Description: Crown Trifari Clear Dress Clip - Again, possibly one of a pair of clipmates, this has the same clip mechanism that the dress clip above has, however, this one is marked Trifari (with the crown) instead of TKF. This has a more floral and foliate motif and is probably a Philippe design. Some of the stones in this piece has yellowed slightly and one has darkened, but all are, as far as I know, original stones. Mechanism works very well and plating is in excellent condition with some signs of wear on the clip finding mechanism but not on the piece itself. 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" Item: SD3-444 Price: $35.00 US |

Description: Joan Rivers Maltese Cross Brooch and Earrings Set - Or, a square brooch set on the diagonal, if you prefer. Nonetheless nicely done and an unusual but very wearable color combination. Very nice quality unfoiled glass pear shaped stones in smokey topaz are flanked by sets of three multi prong set golden topaz marquisesand separated by filigree balls on top of a set of three small leaves, all centered with a single black diamond rhinestone. Clip earrings alternate prong set topaz marquises with slightly smaller filigree balls, all around a light smoked topaz rhinestone that is multi prong set. Brooch is 3" in diameter, earrings are 1". Setting is a pewtery colored metal. All is in perfect condition. Joan has sold her not-inexpensive jewelry on QVC for along time, I am guessing over 20 years, and I have no idea of the age of this set. Item: SS3-779 Price: $35.00/set US |

Description: Trifari Silvertone Faux Cream Pearl Earrings - Trifari did a huge business in glass pearl pieces in the 1960's. These earrings are in excellent original condition. Approx. 1" in diameter, clip mechanisms. That wonderful cool-warm combination that is almost impossible to find in contemporary jewelry.
Item: SE3-251 Price: $8.50 US |

Description: Francois Raspberry Red and Clear Rhinestone Necklace, Earring and Bracelet Demi Set - Francois, a division of Coro, is fairly rare, and the vast majority of pieces found are very tailored, usually all goldtone, or with minimal decoration, so when you find a colored rhinestone piece you have found something rare, let alone a NBE set. The Francois rhinestone pieces that I have seen are almost always spectacular and this set is no exception. Raspberry red octagons accent pave set leaves and flowers. Clip earrings are 1" in diameter, bracelet is 7" x 1", and necklace is adjustable, 1/2" wide, and from 13 1/2" to 16 1/2" long. Silvertone setting, all is in excellent condition with replaced clears in all pieces and the raspberry stones in the bracelet are all replacements. There is some residual glue that has yellowed but all in all this is a truly gorgeous set. Item: SS3-771 Price: $160.00/demi US    |

Description: Laguna Bronze Glass Pearl and Madeira Topaz AB Crystal Earrings - Laguna was a higher end costume company specializing in jewelry using beaded components. These beads are attached to cagework using clear rhinestone headpins. Approx. 1" in diameter and about 1/2" deep at the center, these exhibit typical 1960's styling. French clip mechanisms, excellent original condition.
Item: SE3-248 Price: $14.50 US |

Description: Coro Sterling Aqua Retro Brooch - This larger (3 1/4" x 2 1/4") circa 1940's brooch is somewhat unusual in that Coro Sterling is incised on the body and then partially covered by a plaque that also says Coro Sterling with the Pegasus mark. Emerald-cut aqua glass foiled stones in an open-backed setting are accented with clear paste-set round rhinestones (all original). Vermeil finish, professionally done solder repair on back side is undetectable.

Description: Corocraft Retro Brooch This large brooch (3.25" x 2.875") is done with a rose-gold finish and has 8 unfoiled amethyst colored stones, accented on one side with 8 clear rhinestones in two sizes. Piece is marked "Coro Sterling Craft" on an applied rectangular plaque. Two of the smallest clears have been replaced, otherwise, excellent condition. Part of Coro's "Devastating Amethyst" ad campaign in 1944. (See ad on JewelChat portion of http://www.morninggloryantiques.com )

Description: Coro Sterling Retro Bouquet with Blue Faux Moonstones and Rhinestones - Gorgeous large 3 3/4" x 2 7/8" brooch has a rose gold finish with lovely light blue glass "moonstones" in marquises and round shapes. All stones are original. Slight moisture damage is found along the very left side of the bow and on the reverse; probably the only part that was truly damaged was the pin stem, which was probably steel rather than sterling and actually looked slightly rusty; I have hand filed it and removed the rust, which also removed a little of the plating on the pin stem. Priced accordingly.
Item: SS3-262 Price: $49.50 US |

Description: Coro Sterling Retro Brooch with Multi Colored Stones - This large brooch (3" x 2") is done with a rose-gold finish and has 22 navettes in jeweltoned-rhinestones. All stones are pronged; finish is in very good-excellent condition. Very similar to the two pieces above. The single stone that appears to be inset on the above right is a reflection from another piece (sorry!)
Item: SP3-192 Price: $60.00 US |

Description: Lisner Multi Pastel Rhinetone Question Mark Brooch and Earring Set - I find the multi pastel by Lisner to have almost the identical appeal that the Hollycraft multi pastel pieces do. Shades of pink, jonquil, aqua, light blue, lime green and lavender are used to make these wearable with almost any pastel shade clothing. This is one of the few "dangling" styles of earring/ brooch that Lisner every used; the question mark motif was apparently quite popular at a certain point in the 1950's. The 2 1/4" x 1 1/4" brooch is all original to my knowledge; however, someone has changed the earring findings, and though they have used Lisner clips (the original findings may have been screwbacks), they have used goldtone clips instead of the silvertone that is found in the rest of the pieces. Also, the light blue dangle stones/settings in the earrings are replacements. (Earrings are 1 1/2" x 3/4" .) These flaws do not affect the wearability or appearance of the earrings but need to be noted for accuracy. Brooch is excellent condition, earrings are as noted.
Item: SS3-700 Price: $47.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Selini Floral Brooch in Purple, Yellow and Green - Apparently part of the Selro jewelry company, Selini made all rhinestone pieces as well as those that combined enamel with rhinestone. This has not only enamel and purple rhinestones but yellow plastic floral "stamens" that scream 1960's and make this three dimensional piece not only look quite realistic but utterly charming as well. The lavender enameling is wearing along the edges of the petals (one petal in particular shows enamel loss) and very slight loss of the green enamel along the edges; however the missing enamel along the edges almost looks like part of the design and I find this piece very attractive as is. However, I have priced accordingly. About 3" x 2 1/2" x 3/4" deep.
Item: SP3-652 Price: $47.50 US |

Description: Huge Sterling Retro Floral Brooch - At 4 1/2" x 2", this is an imposing brooch, and while it looks to be a Coro piece I could find no patents for this company that were particularly close, though a few had the same general design. Whoever made it, it is an excellent piece. Signed Sterling, this has a nice patina without much tarnish; the unfoiled fancy cut aqua baguettes are all prong set and have very good color, one has an extremely tiny chip. Clear rhinestones cluster at center of bow (one appears to be a replacement.) You don't have to be a fan of retro to appreciate this lovely piece. Item: SP3-667 Price: $59.00 US |

Description: Trifari Enamel and Light Sapphire Rhinestone Necklace - This probably dates to the late 1940's-early 1950's. Silvertone with navy enamel, light sapphire ovals and small round and baguette clear rhinestones. Marked Trifari with a crown and Pat. Pend. on the body of the necklace. Snake chain, adjustable hook closure; will fit up to a 15 3/4" neck (could be extended). Excellent condition; minimal wear to enamel and one baguette looks to be a replacement. Item: SN3-502 Price: $39.50 US |

Description: Coro Duette with Blue Baguettes - A very wearable duette with clear rhinestones in the center and a fringe of intense blue rhinestone baguettes along the ends (bottom) of each clip. While the colored baguettes are in excellent condition, as with many Coro duettes with clear stones, this one has stone darkening on the clears. I have replaced a number of yellowing rounds; the marquises in the "floral" pattern are quite grey and you may wish to have these replaced, but they actually bring the design out more being darker than the rounds. Nice cut out work around the marquises and along the edges. Plating is very good and all mechanical parts of the duette work very well. This is very easy to take apart and put back together. This semi-circular shape for the clips is more unusual for Coro, much nicer than the standard "bread and butter" pieces that are more common. Entire piece is 2" x 1 3/8", with each clip being 1" x 1 3/8". Item: SD3-657 Price: $65.00 US |
