Description: Trifari Skinny Navette Necklace and Bracelet Set with All Clear Rhinestones - This 1960's Philippe design is referred to on one well-known site as a "leaves and berries" pattern - whether this was the designer's original concept or not is certainly anyone's opinion, but it is interesting to note that, like most of Trifari's designs, there was a clear version and more than one colored version. I have seen various pieces of this design in autumn colors (brown-orange-topaz) and also in a fuchsia-multi green combination. Here we have the classic all clear version. Beside the long, thin marquises there are also regular marquises, rounds and tiny baguettes. One or two of the skinny marquises have nicked points, and most of the marquises have yellowed slightly. I don't feel this detracts but if you want "brand new" you will either want to consider some stone replacement or skip this set entirely. Plating and every other aspect of this set is in excellent condition. Bracelet is slightly over 7", necklace is adjustable to 16"+. Both pieces about 3/8" wide. Item: SS7-538 Price: $159.50 US  |

Description: Trifari Faux Pearl Cabochon Button Earrings - These glass pearl cabochons were used by Trifari not only by themselves, as in this set of earrings, but also with faux turquoise and faux coral cabochons. These have a goldtone setting and use the substantial clip mechanism also used by Pennino and similar high quality brands. 1 1/4" in diameter. Plating fairly worn on underside but does not show when worn. The center pearl on one earring is a little worn, otherwise the tops are in excellent condition. Item: SE7-537 Price: $19.50 US |

Clasp is marked Copyright (spelled out) By Trifari (with crown over the T). Some baguettes have yellowed very slightly, otherwise excellent condition. Beautiful, sparkly pieces with many, many stones. From 1962, this line was called "Reverie" and these pieces originally sold for $30.00 ($20/bracelet and $10/earrings).

Description: Trifari Curved Clear Baguette and Round Rhinestone Link Necklace-A well known and sought after design, known as "Lightning", probably from the design table of Alfred Philippe. Ingeniously engineered link design alternates two rows of thin baguettes with rounds in such a way that you have a naturally curved piece. All stones present; heavy rhodium plate and quality hook marked Trifari; the tail is a replacement. About 14 1/2", adjustable. Could easily be made longer if needed. Item: SN7-392 Price: $82.50 US |

Description: Trifari Tie Ups Convertible Dress Clips and Sweater Guard Chatelaine - I think most collectors are fascinated by the idea of jewelry that can be used more than one way, i.e. duettes, bracelets that combine to form necklaces, necklace and bracelets that combine to form longer necklaces, etc. These (dress clips???) have "rings" on the back (see bottom photo) into which spring rings on the ends of this chatelaine can be inserted, connecting the two clips, and the clips can be attached to clothing, such as using it for a sweater guard. The clips have two small prongs to hold on to the fabric better that could probably be bent back or removed if you wanted to use them permanently as earrings. The clips are in a thistle motif using the creamy glass pearls and clear pave that is ubiquitous for Trifari of the 1950's-60's. Goldtone, excellent condition. These are fairly rare as sweater guards were not popular for a lengthy period. Chain can also be worn as a bracelet. These were marketed as "Tie Ups" and apparently came with a card telling about all the different ways this piece could be worn. Item: SM7-258 Price: $27.50 US  |

Description: L/N 25 (Little Nemo) Stylized Floral with Green Cabs - Actually I am not certain what these would be considered because while these are cabochon shaped stones, they have a faceted pattern of small triangles that you can only really see when you rotate the piece; the facets are firepolished rather than sharp. Glass, faux jade look, with goldtone metal. At 3" x 1 3/4" this is among the largest of the L/N pieces. Excellent condition, with only slight plating wear to back. Item: SP7-458 Price: $39.50 US |

Description: Warner Wreath Pin Whether or not this piece was originally sold as a Christmas piece or not is unclear, but what a lovely pin for the holiday season, especially if you like pastels. Warner is a brand not found very frequently, but pieces I have seen all have been of very good quality. The large light blue rounds that make up this piece have a lot of sparkle, and the pieces of light blue rhinestone chain between each stone add an extra twinkle. Diameter: 1.875" Item: SP7-076 Price: $50.00 US |

Description: Warner Parasol Brooch - This is, apparently, the medium size of an item that came in small, medium, and large. Hyacinth, olivine, capri, aqua, pink, fuchsia, light smoked topaz and clear rhinestones are all prong set; clears have darkened but all seem to be original. Peach colored enamel is in very good shape with very slight loss along tip of one leaf. Goldtone, dome shaped top. 2 5/8" x 1 3/4". Very nice piece from a rarely found company. Item: SP7-496 Price: $45.00 US |

Description: B. David Necklace/Earring Set in Original Box Occasionally as dealers and collectors we are offered a rare glimpse of the past when we find pieces in their original boxes, and even the original advertising brochure from the company regarding care. This set predates the zip code! Lovely all prong-set princess style necklace and earclips-black marquises and clear rounds. All pieces signed b. david. Necklace has adjustable hook and will accommodate up to an 18" neck. Ear clips are approximately 1.25" x .75". Light pink velvet lines the purple and silver foil presentation box with purple velvet trim. Interior card says, among other things, that Rhodium plate was used on these pieces and that they would never tarnish, that the brand was only sold in reputable jewelry stores, and the company was located in Cincinnati 19, Ohio Item: SS7-079 Price: $95.00 US  |

Description: L/N (Little Nemo) Brooch in Pastels - Probably this company's best known and loved design, seen both with and without enameling on the florals (in this case, without). Rarely seen with pastel rhinestones. Potmetal with a pewtery finish. Domed oval shape, 2 1/8" x 1 7/8". I replaced one missing small stone, otherwise excellent original condition. Item: SP7-341 Price: $29.50 US |

Description: L/N (Little Nemo) Brooch in Chalk White and Green - Here is the enameled version, but instead of rhinestones we have glass balls in opaque white. Potmetal with a pewtery finish. Domed oval shape, 2 1/8" x 1 7/8". Instead of smaller rhinestones at four points on the inner circle, there were apparently enameled balls - the balls are still there, the enamel is just pretty much gone. Enamel on florals is in good shape except worn off at the high points. Item: SP7-363 Price: $22.50 US |

Description: Emmons Demi Parure in Glass Pearls and Rhinestones - Emmons was apparently the forerunner of Sarah Coventry and was also sold in a home party format. This is a lovely, flattering set that was not found all together but at three separate times! All three pieces marked Emmons, with the earring using the same type of clip mechanism that became ubiquitous for Sarah Coventry. Necklace is adjustable up to 20" and has the script E under a crown hangtag that is marked on the reverse Emmons. Earrings are 1 1/4" x 7/8"; bracelet is 7" with a foldover clasp. Pearls on the bracelet are slightly scuffed at high points, while other pieces appear excellent. Oddly, all the findings on all three pieces appear to be a darker gold than the goldtone on the actual design - I'm not certain if these have just aged differently or whether Emmons decided to use findings that didn't match! Parures are difficult to find and sometimes take many years to match up, if ever, so take advatage of the reasonable price. Item: SS7-422 Price: $52.50 US |

Description: Natty Creations Bridal Train Holder - This is a curved brooch with two hinges so that the brass leaves on the front swing open (and clamp shut very tightly ) to hold something. This could also be used to hold a corsage or handkerchief or whatever you wanted to have attached to your person that you want everyone to see! This measures 4" x 1"; glass pearls are dark cream and teardrop shaped, wrapped in a cone of brass with an embossed floral-type pattern. Also stamped with a patent number under the signature, 2,065,903. Fun piece. Item: SP7-199 Price: $20.00 US |

Description: Valfran, Brody and Balardi Sterling Retro Brooch - Done in a "pinwheel" design, this piece has mellowed to the point where I am not sure whether this is yellow or rose gold wash - it is almost an in-between color. Center is made like half of a rhinestone ball. Stones are glass smokey topaz colored rhinestones that are in very good condition foil-wise considering the open back setting. This is a very rare brand about which I have not been able to find any information. Item: SP7-198 Price: $55.00 US |

Description: Large Coro Duette with Clear Stones - One of the best known and loved of Coro's all stone duette designs; I have seen this done with the channel set square rhinestones in a color rather than the clear you see here. A lovely cut out design that is particularly effective on a dark color so that you can see the cut-out portions more readily. Stones have aged, some more than others, but all is intact. At this price, you could afford to have it restoned if you prefer the look of fiery white stones. 3 1/8" x 1 1/2"; curved like wings. Item: SD7-346 Price: $29.50 US |
