Description: Coro Dark Blue Faux Moonstone Cabochon Fur clip - Done in a kind of "bunch of grapes" design, this fur clip has goldtone bow "loops" and measures about 2 1/2" x 2" at the widest points. Almost certainly a 1940's piece, the goldtone finish is similar to vermeil finishes of the time, although I do not think this is sterling. Great for office wear or on a jean jacket. Item: SF4-228 Price: $79.50 US |

Description: Hollycraft 1954 Earrings with Arumed Rhinestones - Apparently for a short period of time Hollycraft produced pieces for themselves and for Weiss using arum (gold metallic) rhinestones set in goldtone metal. This produces a very lovely, subtle effect of sparkle without glitz. Clip mechanisms, about 1" x 5/8". Item: SE4-203 Price: $27.50 US |

Description: Hollycraft 1952 Red Rhinestone Plume Brooch - Top quality example of why Hollycraft is avidly collected. 2 1/4" x 1 3/4" with a mellowed goldtone finish, this uses red navettes and rounds to create a 3-dimensional design with loops and swirls. Excellent original condition, marked Hollycraft and copr. 1952 Item: SP4-759 Price: $120.00 US |
|
Description: Hollycraft Japanned Dangle Earrings with Clear Rhinestones - I guess the title about sums these up! Clip earrings use a "fleurette" at both the top and the center of the earring, with leaves at the bottom, all paste set with clear stones. Top to bottom measurement 1 3/8" by 1" at widest point. Hollycraft mark is somewhat difficult to read but perhaps you can see it in the picture at the bottom of the fleurette on the dangle portion. No year given so these are probably 1960's. Item: SE4-592 Price: $17.50 US |

Description: Trifari Black Diamond and Clear Rhinestone Bracelet - This was sold to me as a set (see earrings below) but I have split them up because, while a great go-together and the same brand/quality, I don't believe these were a set (but I could be wrong.) Here are 5 x 10 mm navettes (marquises) alternating with pave set clear rhinestone "S" shapes. Set in heavy rhodium Trifanium, this measures 7 1/8" x 5/8", rhinestone set foldover clasp is marked Trifari with crown and copyright symbol. All appears to be original; very slight yellowing of clears (to be expected in a legitimate piece). I believe at some point I have seen the matching choker necklace in another color, so I'm sure there is one out there somewhere. Very late 1950's looking. Item: SB4-606 Price: $49.50 US ![]() |

Description: Dewees Necklace and Earring Set in Original? Box - A rare and highly regarded name by vintage collectors "in the know". Done like fine jewelry with both gold and silvertone on the same piece. Pendant has goldtone ribbed oval center with a single glass pearl surrounded by clear pave set in silvertone at N-S-E-W points. Bail is silvertone; chain may not be original but is marked goldfilled both on the clasp and on hanging metal tag and is substantial and long (26"+) and cost of the set alone is justified by the chain! Clip earrings are same design but have the oval on it's side with only two stations, one set with a center pearl, the other is all rhinestones (and this looks original). Pendant and earrings all marked "DEWEES" ; pendant is 2 1/2" x 1 3/4" including bail. Earrings are 1" x 7/8". I am including box these were found in, marked Jarecki's Jewelers and Silversmiths, Inc., Erie, PA. Item: SS4-386 Price: $79.50/set US |

Description: Napier Black Collar Link Necklace - This impressive yet wearable piece from Napier features black enamel over goldtone metal, with slightly "S" shaped links making up the entire design. Foldover clasp is marked Napier in script with a pat number (difficult to read but I believe is 4,770,745 (I could be completely off on this number.) and the body of the piece is almost marked Napier in a rectangular shape, block letters, with a copyright symbol. Very substantial feeling, slightly over 1" wide, 18" long. Excellent if not perfect condition, any "spots" you see in the picture are lighting reflections. Item: SN4-782 Price: $20.00 US ![]() |

Description: Coro Floral Duette with Burgundy/Green Enamel and Red/Clear Rhinestones - I was unable to find the exact match for this patent-wise, but the closest is 122,485 from 1940, which is attributed to Adolph Katz but may have been done by any of Coro's designers. Goldtone setting, 2 1/4" x 1 1/8" when assembled. Coro's patents all refer to these as "separable brooches". Excellent condition, with only one small blemish to the burgundy enamel on one flower. Item: SD4-665 Price: $95.00 US |

Description: Bogoff Aqua and Clear Rhinstone Dangle Earrings - Clip findings, larger aqua dentelle cut rhinestones and clear pave rhinestones on rounded swirls. Rhodium plate, all original and in excellent condition. 1 3/4" x 3/8". Item: SE4-525 Price: $47.50 US |
|
Description: Bogoff Clear Rhinestone "V" Clip Earrings - Pave set rhinestone linked "v" shapes graduate below the usual Bogoff dentelle rhinestone topper (small regular chaton underneath). The links provide perfect articulation. Quality silvertone plating (rhodium??) clips are signed Bogoff. 1 5/8" x 5/8". I'm sure there are beautiful matching pieces out there - perhaps you have them? Knockout stand-alone pieces as well. Excellent condition. Item: SE4-618 Price: $24.50 US |

Description: Bettina Von Walhof Eagle Pin with Flag - This piece is not particularly old but certainly works well with vintage pieces. Bettina specializes in figurals done with rhinestone chain, and here she has cleverly used it for a dangling flag in red/white, and blue, beneath an eagle in light and medium topaz with a clear rhinestone head and neck. Gunmetal type setting, signed B&M von Walhof in script inside a heart shaped plaque, for Bettina and Michelle (her daughter). Almost 2" x 1 3/4". Excellent unworn condition. Item: SP4-655 Price: $35.00 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Bogoff Clear Dentelle and Pear Rhinestone Necklace - A classic design for this company, this uses graduated pear cuts and large dentelle (fancy cut) rounds, as well as regular rounds in smaller sizes. As usual for Bogoff, the "chain" is a series of cast rhinestone set links that culminate in their horseshoe foldover clasp. 15"; center (longest) dangle is about 1 1/4". Aside from one cloudy stone on the chain, all looks to be original and in excellent condition. Item: SN4-494 Price: $49.50 US ![]() |

Description: Coro Clear Rhinestone Duette - This piece is marked Coro Duette on the frame and has patent numbers apparently for both the spring mechanisms on the dress clips and the design (1798867). Classic deco transitional design measures 2 3/4" x 1 1/4". Most of the rhinestones have darkened to a "smoke" color, but all seem to be there. Item: SM4-0179 Price: $49.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Corocraft Glass Pearl Brooch - With Vendome and Francois, this top of the line division of Coro made some of the top fashion jewelry of the time. This stylized piece embodies the beauty of design and quality of components for which Corocraft was known. 3 1/2" x 1", all stones are original. Item: SP4-0180 Price: $60.00 US |
|
Description: Corocraft Sterling Pegasus "Queen Bee" Duette (No frame) Coro patented this design in 1942, #133,477. From Coro's top line, Corocraft, we find the exquisite use of hand-enameling for collectors prize. Clear rhinestones on body and wings, tiny green rhinestones for eyes. Aside from a few dings to the black enamel on a few of the legs I can find no flaws. Fur clip mechanisms. Unfortunately these came without the duette frame, so the price reflects. Item: SD4-666 Price: $125.00/pr. US |

Description: Trifari Philippe Pastel Enamel Fur Clip - Marked with "Des. Pat No." and 119105, this design dates to February of 1940 and is one of the popular early enameled floral fur clip series. At 2 1/4" x 2", this is about average size for this genre. Pink yellow and medium blue flowers are enhanced with dark green leaves, brown and green stems, and a darker blue bow. Small clears are scattered throughout the piece, and the center of the larger pink flower uses a tiny gumdrop cabochon in emerald green. Clear stones are all original. The flowers all show mild to moderate enamel loss as seen in the picture but the leaves, stems and bow show little if any wear. Plating shows signs of wear but is mild. Price reflects noted condition. Item: SF4-703 Price: $125.00 US |

Description: Trifari Faux Coral "Dot" Earrings - White enamel is punctuated with faux coral "ballotini" (tiny balls) with goldtone trim. Usual 1960's clip mechanism, domed and about 3/4" in diameter. These use a heavy cast "filigree" to fill in the dome and attach the clip mechanism; I have only seen this used on a few Trifari styles (both very desirable) and would guess this would date these to a few specific years of Trifari's production. I would love to see the matching pieces for these; Trifari did a number of coral/white pieces to reflect a kind of "Palm Beach meets Eastern India" look. (I have seen a matching mushroom brooch, and a beetle brooch with the same design but with turquoise ballotini.) One of the ballotini is slightly worn, otherwise excellent condition. Item: SE4-497 Price: $15.00 US |

Description: Original by Robert Necklace and Earring Set - Two strand pendant necklace with matching clip earrings. Pendant and earrings are centered with a light blue enameled rose, surrounded with small chalk white seed bead flowers and larger cream colored beads and a baroque pearl, as well as white givre and light blue rhinestones. Necklace also has an elaborate bale with similar components, and the chain strands have more of the same types of components as well as a paper-clip type chain. Darkened silvertone setting. Clip earrings are 1 3/4" x 1 1/4". Adjustable chain necklace is 16" with a 1 3/4" tail extension. Pendant is 2 1/2" from top of bale to tip. As with most Robert pieces of this type, some of the cream colored glass beads and baroque pearls have some peeling, and I have replaced the eyepins that were verdigrised. Very good overall condition. Item: SS4-550 Price: $89.50 US ![]() ![]() |

Description: Incredible Bogoff Pink and Clear Necklace and Earring Set - Like the beer that made Milwaukee famous, this is one example of why Bogoff is loved and sought after. Pink marquises and clear rounds make up the 13 front links of the necklaces, while side portions are one of the typical Bogoff fancy chain designs, this one using 3 clear rounds per link. Clasp is a foldover type with both clasp and holders being rhinestone set. Either end of the chain is marked Bogoff in a U shape. Earrings are clip, in the shape of a pentagonal flower, with round clears circling a single pink round. Necklace is 15", earrings are 13/16" point to point. Excellent original condition with slight yellowing of some of the small clears on the necklace. There is a necklace design that is an exact match to the earrings so I'm not certain if this is an alternate design; however they work beautifully together. Item: SS4-736 Price: $185.00/set US ![]() ![]() |

Description: Florenza Citrine/Green Specialty Stone Earrings - These earrings matching a really wonderful bracelet and necklace done by Florenza, probably in the 1950's or 1960's; large top stone is 12mm, which surmount an aqua-green flatback "S" shaped stone flanked by two lime green aurora borealis rhinestones, glass pearls and topaz rhinestones. The "S" shaped stones are not in good shape, one is not bad but the other is deteriorating on the flatback; glass pearls are worn. Otherwise in quite good shape, but I am offering them at a nominal price in case you have the "S" stones and can repair these or if you need the earrings for parts, as I highly doubt that the yellow/green stones can be purchased anywhere except on another piece. Item: SE4-788 Price: $17.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Lisner Classic Motif Brooch - This design reminds me of something that might have been worn by Greco-Roman emperors. Colorado Topaz glass rhinestones are in the center with light sapphire glass rhinestones running along the border. Goldtone setting, about 2 1/4" x 1 5/8". Nice on a denim jacket. Some of the light blue stones are replacements. Item: SP4-292 Price: $17.50 US |

Description: Swarovski Pave Rhinestone Button Earrings - Swan mark on earring and clip findings marked Swarovski. Quality right down to the pads on the clips. Goldtone, 3/4" in diameter. Excellent to mint condition - I can find no flaw. Item: SE4-344 Price: $19.50 US |

Description: Trifari Pink Shoebutton Fur/Pin Clip and Bracelet Set - Of the 1940's pieces this is one of my favorite types. Pink faux moonstone cabochons are centered with a single clear rhinestone; more clear stones are sprinkled among the cabs and used in a pave motif on the bow at the top of the fur clip and the butterfly-looking links on the bracelet. Whether the fur clip was intended to be a stylized floral or a bunch of grapes design I do not know. These are in excellent original condition and a sought-after milieu. Pretty in pink and charming as almost all Trifari from that period is. Almost certainly a Philippe design; signed Trifari with a crown over the T, and done in heavy rhodium plate that became known as Trifanium. Clip measures 2 1/4" x 1 1/2" at widest points, bracelet is 7" x 1/2" with a hidden push-in clasp. Item: SS4-563 Price: $275.00/set US ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Description: Coro "Cornucopia" Duette - This came to us with yellowing stones, so I have restoned it except for the channel set baguettes. Coro presumably "coined" and probably patented the term duette, but if you look at the patents for these pieces, they are called separable brooches! I could not find a matching patent for this design but I would guess these to be about mid-1940's (though Coro was still patenting duette designs well into the mid-1950's.) Each fur clip is about 1 1/2" x 1 1/4"; together on the frame about 2 1/2" in length. Potmetal with all clear rhinestones, all mechanisms function properly. As is usual, the pin frame is marked Coro Duette, though the individual clips are not marked. Item: SD4-629 Price: $78.50 US ![]() |

Description: Coro Gilt Duette with Extra Fur Clip - How I ended up with an extra clip in this design I don't remember, but it appears to be an identical match for this duette. Done with larger aqua rounds on the bottons of the clips and smaller clear stones at the top, this has a retro feel that probably circa dates them to the late 1940's. Usually duette clips aren't signed but these ARE, in a raised print that appears to say Coro-Des. Pat. Pend., and frame is signed differently than usual, with Coro Duette on left top of frame and the patent number on the right top. All pieces in excellent original condition. 2 1/4" x 1" assembled duette, single clip is 1 1/8" x 1". Item: SD4-752 Price: $99.50/all US |
|
Description: Bogoff Aqua and Clear Rhinestone Bracelet - This was so sparkly that my camera got confused! Intense aqua rhinestones are surrounded by a four leaf stylized motif , each leaf set with a single clear rhinestone. Silvertone plate is probably rhodium. 7 1/2" wearable length, with safety chain, rhinestone set foldover clasp. Marked Bogoff on both end links, with one of the links marked twice. I have traced this to 1949. Excellent condition, I can find no flaws. Item: SB4-737 Price: $110.00 US |

Description: Coro Purple Faux Moonstone Pair of Dress Clips (Duette without Frame) -Well known Coro design, not signed as these were almost always signed on the frame, which is, sadly, missing. The purple color glass moonstones are much less often found than, say, the fuchsia or blue ones, which is a shame, because this color is beautiful! Enameling is done in two-tone green and brown, again, typical for color, and clear pave at the tops. Potmetal, spring-type clip mechanisms have patent number for the mechanism 1852188 as per usual. Each clip about 1" by 1" and are in very good condition with enamel only having one small ding and a few of the small clears being replacements. You may wish to buy both this and SD9-715 as the frame should work for both of these sets of clips Item: SD4-751 Price: $69.50 US |

Description: Coro Gilt Duette with Red Stones - Unusual duette in many respects - it is goldtone rather than silvertone, it uses all red stones and it uses many small square stones. The red is more of a raspberry (ruby) red, which is also unusual for Coro. I actually expected this to say Corocraft instead of Coro, but the frame itself only has the usual Coro Duette in script marking, and the patent number for the frame. Certainly not the standard dress clip back for Coro, either. Beautiful original condition, 3" x 1 1/4" assembled. Smallest rounds look orange in photo but are because of the lighting, these may be siam instead of ruby but all appears original and these do not look different from the rest of the stones in person. Item: SD4-753 Price: $140.00 US |

Description: Coro Pink Trembler Fur Clip - Another well known Coro design, this is one of Coro's earliest patents, dating to 1939 and designed by Gene Verri (Verrecchio). Enameled in two colors of pink, the leaves are channel set with square pink rhinestones, and the floral head, connected on a trembler spring wire mechanism, uses pink squares and a single pink round in the center, with the squares alternating with clear rounds. Goldtone setting, clip is signed Coro in script (you have to look very carefully for it) and the end of the stem says pat. # 117802 (very tiny and difficult to read). 2 1/4"x 1 3/4", this has enamel loss at the top of the flower and the spring is so tight in the trembler that it doesn't move by itself, this is still in very good shape for 70+ years old and is quite charming. Item: SF4-755 Price: $79.50 US |

Description: Trifari Fuchsia Briolette Dangle Earrings - The briolette series is from the 1960's and was done in fuchsia, olivine, clear, black, jonquil, and sapphire blue. The fuchsia seems to be the most popular, and when you see these in person you will know why - the color is incredible. This is the most impressive of the earring styles from this series, 2" x 3/4". Excellent original condition, this is the second pair I have had. Item: SE4-707 Price: $59.50 US |

Description: Nolan Miller Fruit Salad Basket Brooch - One of the more popular pieces on the NM secondary market, this piece uses something not usually found in contemporary pieces - fruit salad stones in red, emerald green and dark sapphire blue, with the blue stones looking almost purple in certain lights. All surrounded by clear pave, glass pearls and red guilloche enameling, this lovely goldtone basket measures almost 3" x 2". Excellent if not pristine condition. Item: SP4-809 Price: $69.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Swarovski Pave Rhinestone Crosshatched Button Earrings - Swan mark on earring backs. Goldtone along rims and on lattic work, with clear pave set in silvertone. Domed, slightly over 1" in diameter. Excellent condition. This style is coming back into favor and looks really wonderful on. Item: SE4-804 Price: $20.00 US |
