All pieces signed.

Item: SS5-767

Price: $99.50 US

•••

Description: Weiss Deep Sapphire and Clear Necklace and Earring Set - Gorgeous set. Festoon necklace uses round and marquise stones with clear rhinestone set "wings". Earrings use the same components, with clear rhinestone set swirl. Adjustable hook necklace up to 15" with center about 1" wide, earrings are 7/8" x 1/2". Silvertone setting. Very good condition with 2 of the marquises seeming slightly lighter (due to aging) than the rest depending on the light source.

Item: SS5-765

Price: $145.00/set US

•••

Description: Weiss Thermoplastic Clamper Bracelet with Rhinestones - A cream colored hinged bangle with oval and small round clear rhinestones, this is in very good vintage condition except for a darker cream streak in the front. I have photographed this with flash and done a closeup so you can see this clearly, however in person it is much less noticeable. Hinge has good snap and is signed Weiss. 3/4" wide, 1/4" deep. 1 7/8" x 2". Fits a small to average wrist nicely.

Item: SB5-664

Price: $79.50 US

•••

Description: Weiss Colorado Topaz Rhinestone Bracelet - This is a well-known Weiss "design" using octagonal or emerald cut stones. Beautiful quality rhinestones, set in darkened silvertone, very good shape except for plating on underside-apparently this was a favorite bracelet of the previous owner, as the plating that would have been in contact with the skin is well worn. Stones are in excellent condition and all that "shows" when worn looks great. Rhinestone set push-in v-clasp, 6 3/4" x 1/4". Price reflects plating wear on back.

Item: SB5-615

Price: $42.50 US

•••

Description: Weiss Black Diamond and Clear Pave Wreath Brooch - Justly famous for their black diamond rhinestone pieces, this uses an outer row of oval and round stones and an inner row of two sizes of round stones in black diamond, all prong set. This is all topset with paved leaves. 2" in diameter, quality silvertone (rhodium?) plating, beautiful and classy. Excellent condition. I have shown this in two different lighting situations; the black diamonds are the dark, top quality stones that compliment the clear rhinestone pave very nicely.

Item: SP5-812

Price: $49.50 US

•••

Description: Trifari Goldtone Flowing Brooch - This tailored looking brooch is large (3 3/8" x 1 3/8") and in apparently unworn condition. Perfect for work or for the person with elegant, understated taste. And the price is right! See also identical piece in silvertone. Trifari ran magazine advertising in 1965 called "Blondes" which promoted the idea of buying brooches that were made in your choice of "golden blonde" (goldtone) or "platinum blonde" (silvertone). This is possibly from this series, though I have seen a 1966 catalog ad using this actual design, from the series called "Gold Rush". I have also seen this design in white enamel.

Item: SP5-704

Price: $9.50 US (goldtone)

Description: Trifari Silvertone Flowing Brooch - This tailored looking brooch is large (3 3/8" x 1 3/8") and in apparently unworn condition. Perfect for work or for the person with elegant, understated taste. And the price is right! See also identical piece in goldtone.

Item: SP5-705

Price: $9.50 US (silvertone)

•••

Description: ART Flowerbasket Earrings - All original and in excellent condition, these are sure to please the flowerbasket collector (in all my years of collecting, this is the first time I have seen basket earrings.) Done in autumn colors of lime green, hyacinth and hyacinth aurora borealis and accented with small white faux pearls, goldtone setting, clip mechanism. About 1" in diameter.

Item: SE5-237

Price: $29.50 US

•••

Description: Weiss Black Diamond Rhinestone Earrings - From a well-known Weiss design grouping, each earring has 3 emerald-cut black diamond rhinestones and a single round black diamond rhinestone. Clip mechanism, all stones prong set, original, excellent condition with one stone showing mild spotting. Silvertone (probably rhodium) setting, 1" x 3/4".

Item: SE5-687

Price: $25.00 US

•••

Description: Trifari Set of Two Brooches and Pair of Earrings in Multi-Blue Rhinestones - Quality 1960's pieces, probably late Philippe, with the "filled-in" dome earrings used on the top quality sets of this era. While my flash camera makes the difference in the blues in the different cuts of stones quite obvious, in person you will find these differences to be much more subtle, particularly on the earrings. The brooches use octagonal (emerald) cuts in different sizes while the earrings seem to be pretty much one size; all pieces use an occasional small blue round; both brooches have paved "ribbon" designs. All stones appear to be original, even the pave. Goldtone Trifanium plating is heavy and very close to pristine. Excellent quality, condition and design. Top Trifari continues to disappear into private collections and will probably not re-emerge for a long time.

Item: SS5-588

Price: $225.00 US

•••

Description: Kramer Blue Green Domed Brooch - This piece features three oval bi-colored speciality stones, unusual because they are unfoiled and combine the colors of chartruese and turquoise (these stones are referred to as "Sabrina"). Around the perimeter are round stones of the same color alternating with royal blue navettes. Larger rounds and dark aurora borealis rhinestones alternate with the large ovals. About 2" in diameter and 1/2" deep. 1960's color combinations are once again in favor!

Item: SP5-181

Price: $59.00 US

•••

Description: Jomaz Clear Rhinestone Scalloped Link Necklace - What may look like black on your monitor is actually reflection - this is actually pristine rhodium plate, set with tiny clear rhinestones; pattern goes completely around and has a hidden foldover clasp that is slightly larger than the rhinestone set connector links you see in the picture. Approximately 287 rhinestones in this piece, I can't find any that are missing or not original.

Item: SN5-169

Price: $85.00 US

•••

Description: Kramer Clear Rhinestone and Clear Aurora Borealis Bead Necklace - Set in goldtone metal, this clear rhinestone chain necklace is accented with clear aurora borealis beads and cast pave set crescent shaped pieces to add additional sparkle and movement. Rhinestone hook adjustable clasp, this will fit up to a 15 1/2" neck.

Item: SN5-495

Price: $49.50 US

•••

Description: Trifari Silvertone Cut-Out Brooch - A nice mix of shiny and brushed silvertone, this swirl design is a classic piece for when bling ain't the thing. 2" x 1 3/4", excellent condition, signed Trifari with copyright symbol.

Item: SP5-609

Price: $9.50 US

•••

Description: ART Pin and Earrings Set with Aqua and Lime Faux Moonstone Cabochons - Set in light goldtone, with enameling in lime, aqua, orange and yellow, and jonquil rhinestone accents. Clip earrings are in excellent condition, 7/8" in diameter. Brooch is missing one curlique above the dangle portion; enamel is a little more worn; measures 2 1/4" x 1 3/8". So feminine and dainty they make you feel like spring all year long!

Item: SS5-236

Price: $44.50 US

•••

Description: Trifari Silvertone Plume Earrings - Another combination of brushed silvertone with shiny, this earrings are in excellent condition. 7/8" x 3/4", clip mechanism marked Trifari with crown and copyright symbol.

Item: SE5-607

Price: $5.00 US

•••

Description: Kramer Pinwheel Brooch This approximately 2" diameter domed pin by Kramer of New York features round and clear baguette rhinestones and emerald green colored baguettes and marquises, done in a pinwheel design. Approximately .5" deep.

Item: SP5-053

Price: $75.00 US

•••

Description: Trifari Clear Rhinestone Goldtone Swirl Earrings - These earrings use a clip finding that you rarely find on Trifari, and I have no idea what the significance of its use is. The goldtone swirl is bordered by two sizes of clear marquises and a few round clears. Very good condition, one or two of the marquises have just a twinge of yellow and could easily be replaced if that bothered you. Any "black" in the plating is reflection. 1" x 3/4".

Item: SE5-770

Price: $12.50 US

•••

Description: Trifari Chalk White/Clear Rhinestone Earrings - White is starting to make a fashion comeback and here are some great 1950's earrings to make your "statement". Silvertone with 6 navette cabochons in chalk white and lots of clear rhinestone pave. One or two clears are slightly yellow but otherwise these look good for being 50 years old (wish I did!) 1" in diameter and slightly domed.

Item: SE5-499

Price: $17.50 US

•••

Description: Joan Rivers Set of Two Bracelets - "Night and Day" - Identical bracelets, one with clear rhinestones, one all metal. Goldtone, 7 1/4" long x 1/4" wide. Pristine condition, never worn. From the early days of Joan Rivers on QVC when all pieces were made in the USA.

Item: SBS5-663

Price: $25.00/pr. US

•••

Description: Staret Floral Brooch with Cobalt Blue Stones - Staret, as far as I know, was only in business during the 1940's, and this piece reflects its wartime genesis. It is my belief that the blue stones are plastic, which were used even by the top quality names when glass stones became unavailable at any price. Clear rhinestones outline portions of the floral design and to my knowledge are also original. 3 1/2" x 2".

Item: SP5-189

Price: $195.00 US

•••

Description: Thelma Deutsch Starfish Pin and Earring Set - While not all of Thelma's pieces were japanned, her use of this black finish was certainly one of her "trademarks". These pieces are set with light and dark sapphire, Montana and blue aurora borealis rhinestones. The earrings are clip, 1 1/8" in diameter. The brooch is about 2 1/2" in diameter. Excellent original condition. TD sets are difficult to find.

Item: SS5-521

Price: $95.00/set US

•••

Description: Coro Clear Domed Deco Duette - This is an unusual duette style for Coro because this has a domed shape, rather than the more typical flat styles. This measures 3 1/4" end to end when together and 1 5/8" at the widest point. In very good original vintage condition, with very mild yellowing of some of the square stones; a few of the rounds have darkened and a few appear to be replacements. This is a great design, with cut out patterns that indicate an earlier (pre-1940's) duette. Dress clip mechanisms use the spring-type mechanisms. A great piece to add to your duette collection, and very wearable - I can see this as a wonderful belt "buckle" or on a special handbag, as well as worn as clips in the corner of a square neckline.

Item: SD5-628

Price: $60.00 US

•••

Description: Mazer Double Clip (Duette) - While Coro and Trifari (Clipmates) were the most well known and prolific of the designers of duettes, there were other major companies that made them, though they are much more rare and difficult to find. This lovely piece has a floral and bow motif, with the dress clips sliding on to the frame rather than clipping in. Frame is marked U.S. Pat. 2,143,538; dress clips are marked Mazer Bros and one has the number 9. 2 3/4" x 1 1/4". Some of the stones are greying but still lots of sparkle here. Clear rhinestones, probably rhodium plating. Marcel Boucher worked for Mazer Bros. before going out on his own, and patented similar frames and clip mechanisms for the firm, though the 1938 patent here belongs to Boucher alone. Currently found on a high end website for almost double what I have priced this piece.

Item: SD5-630

Price: $125.00 US

•••

Description: Trifari Sterling Vermeil Retro Bracelet with Aqua and Clear Stones - While I was unable to find a patent for this particular design, I think it is safe to assume this is circa mid 1940's. Sterling links set with a line of clear rhinestones alternate with unfoiled aqua glass stones prong set on either side of the linkage. As with most vermeil plating from this time period, this shows signs of wear, and the plating on the back of the connecting links has pretty much worn away. I replaced several missing clear stones, but the vast majority are original. Aqua stones are in excellent shape and a lovely color. Slightly over 7" x 1/2", this is, like most older Trifari, lovely and a fine jewelry look which is complimentary to most women.

Item: SB5-627

Price: $125.00 US

•••

Description: Bogoff Clear Rhinestone Articulated Dangle Earrings - This very typical-for-Bogoff design features two large dentelles (fancy cut rounds) surrounded by smaller clear chatons. Silvertone, clip, excellent condition, with only a slight bit of yellowing to a few of the smallest stones. 1 3/8" x 5/8" at widest point.

Item: SE5-787

Price: $15.00 US

•••

Description: Ciner Glass Pearl and Rhinestone Bracelet - The 2nd bracelet of this design that I have had in the past few years, this is done in a dark cream glass pearl in three rows, alternating with clear rhinestone bars to make an elegant "fine jewelry" look bracelet. 75 glass pearls and 76 clear rhinestones including the rhinestone set foldover clasp and half moon ends; many separate parts make for the very flexible styles that Ciner is rightly noted for. Safety chain, 6 7/8" x 5/8". Other than some of the clear rhinestones having yellowed, this is in excellent condition, with the pearls unscuffed. We can replace the yellowed stones if you desire.

Item: SB5-653

Price: $69.50 US

•••

Description: Celebrity Bracelet with "Moroccan" Cabochons - Celebrity was apparently a party plan line of jewelry, and this particular design series must have been manufactured by DeLizza & Elster; D&E used similar "Moroccan" themed stones in their jewelry, notice the 5 link construction and foldover clasp with safety chain. Excellent condition, this measures wearable length of 7 3/4", and is about 7/8" wide. I have seen a matching necklace online, and there may be earrings as well. Fun and very wearable piece, this would look great with any denim pieces in your wardrobe.

Item: SB5-685

Price: $33.50 US

•••

Description: Trifari Glass Pearl and Rhinestone Bracelet and Necklace Set - 1960's era set using a feather or leaf motif, this is definitely a matched set, with the tiny channel set baguettes going down the center of each leaf link, and larger baguette links on the bracelet. Two pearls are replacements, otherwise excellent shape, all rhinestones are original with only a slight yellowing on a few clears on the earrings. Bracelet is 7" x 1/2", earrings are about 1" in diameter.

Item: SS5-574

Price: $39.50 US

•••

Description: Bogoff Clear Rhinestone Floral Dangle Earrings - Large dentelle clear rhinestones in center of floral head are surrounded by clear chatons, and are suspended from a trio of clear rhinestones. Clip findings, silvertone (possibly rhodium) plate. 1" x 5/8" at widest point, very nice condition with only a hint of yellow on a few stones, and a little plating loss on the back of one of the findings as shown in 2nd picture.

Item: SE5-786

Price: $20.00 US

•••

Description: Deja Fur Clip - Actually it is difficult to tell if this says "Deja" or "Reja" as the signature stamp is a little uneven and the bottom of the first letter is not there. However, it appears to be Deja. A single faux glass turquoise cabochons is surrounded by clear rhinestones in this floral design. The flower petals are enameled in cream in the distinctive enameling fashion that Deja used; ends of leaves are accented with tiny clears, as are the backs of the aqua enameled leaves. Except for replacing two tiny clears on the floral petals and some plating wear on the clip finding, this is in excellent original condition. 2 1/8" x 1 1/2".

Item: SF5-594

Price: $79.50 US
