Item: SE3-506

Description: Lisner Incredible Topaz Rhinestone Bracelet - This is probably the widest, most rhinestone encrusted design ever done by Lisner. The four center links have a large octagonal stone surrounded by various sized round rhinestones, with the end links being the same design except without the octagonal stones. Light goldtone, all rhinestones are in the topaz family, using Colorado topaz, smoky topaz and topaz aurora borealis. 7 1/4" x 5/8", foldover clasp. Excellent condition, I have replaced a couple of missing rhinestones.

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: Vendome Aqua/Olive Bracelet - Another example of Vendome's unusual beads, this uses aqua opaque beads, aqua aurora borealis and olivine aurora borealis crystal, creamy oval beads with goldleaf? highlights and some just plain weird handmade beads that are kind of rosettes in in aqua and cream stripes. Goldtone findings, foldover clasp, almost 7 1/2" including clasp, 1 1/2" at widest point in center. Excellent condition

Item: SB3-546

Price: $39.50 US

Description: Trifari Goldtone Leaves, Glass Pearl and Clear Rhinestone Brooch - Excellent quality piece, all original. A few pearls show signs of wear but otherwise excellent condition. 2 1/2" x 1 3/8". Always elegant and refined for evening wear, this also makes a nice juxtaposition on the denim jackets that are back in style this fall.

Item: SP3-233

Price: $19.50 US

••••

Description: Jomaz Brooch with Jonquil, Lime and Faux Alexandrite Rhinestones - Popular in the 1960's, this piece uses the color change square rhinestones that go from light blue to lavender when you go from fluorescent to incandescent lighting, also lime green rhinestone squares and jonquil yellow pear rhinestones. The clear pave rhinestones used on the "swirl" have darkened and could be replaced if that bothered you, but this is otherwise in excellent original condition. A mix of goldtone and silvertone setting, a la fine jewelry, measuring about 1 /34" in diameter. A top quality piece made to look like the real thing.

Item: SP3-304

Price: $95.00 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; two stones in the bracelet are topaz and don't appear to be replacements but the color is not used anywhere else in the pieces. Slight wear on inside of front of bracelet.

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".

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: Mazer Bros. Clear Baguette Rhinestone Necklace - All the stones in this piece are either baguettes or tapered baguettes, with the exception of the squares and rounds used at the foldover clasp. Heavy rhodium plate, excellent quality. Small solder repair at clasp. This is a small necklace, hard to measure because of the curved center motif, but this should fit a 14" neck.

Item: SN3-209

Price: $75.00 US

•••

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: Trifari Glass Pearl Rhinestone Goldtone Earrings - Once an easily found vintage item, the Trifari faux pearl pieces in good condition are starting to become more scarce. These are all original except for one rhinestone. Clip mechanisms, 7/8" diameter. A nice "go with" for item SP3-233 at the top of the page.

Item: SE3-250

Price: $8.50 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: ORA Clear Rhinestone Bracelet - A nice example of why ORA is avidly collected. This has a floral motif done in marquises and baguettes; side portions are pave set links that look like interlocked hearts. Foldover clasp is rhinestone set, safety chain. About 7 1/4"

Item: SB3-202

Price: $85.00 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.

Item: SP3-033

Price: $60.00 US

•••

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 )

Item: SP3-034

Price: $75.00 US

•••

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: Coro Sterling Retro Faux Glass Opal Brooch - Another lovely piece from the WWII era. Unfoiled open back glass stones simulating opals or moonstones in two sizes of oval and one round are prong set in this stylized bouquet. Small clear rhinestones accent the piece. 3" x 1 3/4" but delicate enough that it doesn't seem huge. Vermeil setting shows minimal tarnish as is to be expected in a 60+ year old piece. Excellent condition.

Item: SP3-291

Price: $27.50 US

•••

Description: Miriam Haskell Pastel Earrings - Lovely earrings with pastel shades of crystal that surround an unusual art glass pink swirled cabochons that measure 15mm across. Small baroque pearls finish the feminine look. Silvertone double filigree setting with screw-clip findings, marked Haskell along the back and Miriam Haskell around the part where the clip attaches to the filigree. About 1" in diameter. Excellent condition.

Item: SE3-549

Price: $69.50 US

Description: Trifari Clip Earrings in Clear Rhinestones - These Trifari earrings use the 1950's clip mechanism that is comfortable but dependable. Rhodium plated silvertone with small rounds, baguettes and emerald cuts arranged in a kind of pentagonal snowflake. Very classic, excellent original condition. Very slightly over 1" in diameter.

Item: SE3-422

Price: $18.50 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.
