Description: Coro Necklace and Earring Set with Pave set "Waves" - This necklace actually has a floral motif paste set with blue aurora borealis rhinestones and a clear rhinestone center; however it is the connecting "wavy" links that make this set remarkable - they are each pave set with 31 small clear rhinestones - total number of stones for this set is around 370 - even the "tails" have rhinestones. A few of the tiny stones were missing and I have replaced them , but almost all are original. Lovely and much more impressive in person than in the picture. Necklace will fit up to a 16 1/2" neck and adjustable screw-clip findings (like those used on the Vendome line) are used on the 1" x 5/8" earrings. Item: SS8-296 Price: $79.50 US |

Description: Brooks "Harp" Tree with Baguette Candles - I don't know anything about the Brooks company but the only times I have seen Brooks pieces have been as Christmas pins.

Multi jeweltone rhinestones for ornaments, clear rhinestone baguettes for candles with topaz colored rhinestone flames. 2 1/2" x 2" at the widest point. Excellent original condition. Shown on the cover of the Trowbridge book and on p.22 of the Morrison book. Item: SP8-245 Price: $49.50 US |

Description: Eisenberg Clear Rhinestone Twin Pins - A somewhat unusual genre for Eisenberg, these are marked with both Eisenberg on a rectangular plaque; one is also marked with a 4 digit number that looks like 2704. Pears and emerald cuts surround a pave set central portion in a bow motif. Each, 1 3/4" x 7/8", and very sparkly. Some of the stones are replacements. Item: SP8-553 Price: $64.50 US/pair |

Brooch measures 2 3/4" x 1 1/4"; clip earrings are 1 1/8" x 3/4". Goldtone setting, close to mint condition, truly elegant, in the style of Jacqueline Kennedy.

Description: ART "Garland" Christmas Tree Pin - This ART tree is shown in Morrison, Gallina and Trowbridge, and has been nickednamed the "garland" tree, and apparently came in both this version and one with olive green enamel under the "snow". Typical rhinestone colors of hyacinth, amber, emerald and cobalt. Excellent condition - one green stones seems a little large but I can find no evidence that it is a replacement. 2 1/8" x 1 1/8".

Description: Mylu Red and Green Christmas Tree Pin - Another book piece, pictured in Gallina's 2nd edition book on p. 57, here with all red and green 7mm rhinestones. 2 1/2" x 1 1/2" and very good heft, much more substantial feeling than usual. Modern design with 3-D"bottom" of the tree going behind the base, a very nice touch. Excellent condition. Item: SP8-482 Price: $39.50 US |

Description: KJL White Lucite? Rose Pin and Earrings Set - A well-known design for this company, this uses an opaque white plastic for the rose blossom with a paved center, border on the black enamel leaves, and on the stem on the brooch. The brooch's rose is slightly more white in some lights than the earrings, and the pieces are marked slightly differently - the earrings are marked with a copyright symbol and KJL on both the clip mechanism and the back of the earring; the brooch is also marked with the copyright symbol and KJL but the goldtone setting underneath the pinstem actually says Korea! I am not certain of the significance of this. Brooch is 2 1/2" x 1 1/2"; earrings are about 1" in diameter. Item: SS8-555 Price: $72.50 US |

Light cream glass pearls are surrounded by paste set clear rhinestones. 9/16" in diameter, never worn excellent if not pristine condition.

Description: Coro Clear RS Floral Spray - This piece is signed Coro in script and has Pat. No. 125883, which would put the design patent at early 1941 with the patent owner listed as Gene Verricchio. Measuring 3 1/2" x 1 3/4" at the widest points and done in all clear rhinestones in rounds and oval shapes, this piece is showing some signs of aging; the smaller ovals at the top of third stem from the right have darkened, and the larger ovals have small amounts of foil loss along faceting lines due to being in open back setting; however, they are NOT dark. All of the piece is pave set, and a few of the small stones have darkened, and a few have been replaced. All in all, however, not at all bad for a piece over 60 years old. The wonderful design is yours for $45.00. Item: SP8-086 Price: $45.00 US |

Description: Trifari Sterling Tortoise Jelly Belly Brooch - At least I think he's a tortoise. Book piece. Marked Crown Trifari and Sterling and Des. Pat. No. 185170. Produced in 1943. The belly portion is Lucite that has turned yellow-gold, for unknown reasons, presumably age (yes, Lucite can turn yellow, according to plastics expert Karima Parry's book on bakelite bangles.) A few of the missing pave rhinestones were missing and I have replaced them. 2 1/4" x 1 3/8". Item: SP8-265 Price: $275.00 US |

Description: Hobe Jade Leaf Pin - A leaf and berry motif done in bright goldtone with dark green jade balls. 1 1/4" x 1 1/4". Signed Hobe and has original Hobe hangtag that says "genuine jade" on reverse. Don Hobe handed out sheets with all the different color names for jade at the Atlanta mini convention in 2002 and is extremely well versed regarding jade, so I feel quite certain that this is, indeed, genuine jade. Item: SP8-088 Price: $15.00 US |

Description: Haskell Niki Glass Pearl Button Earrings - Probably from the early 1960's, these use the screw-clip finding with the Haskell signature around the part of the finding that attaches to the earring. 1" diameter, goldtone. Metal is slightly worn on a couple of the "dog-tooth" prongs, and the underside has worn off plating where the earring would have contacted the body, otherwise excellent condition. Item: SE8-317 Price: $44.50 US |

Description: Trifari Clear Rhinestone Baguette Earrings - These earrings may or may not be the matching earrings for the necklace and bracelet set below, but if they aren't they certainly make an excellent marriage. Done in all clear channel set baguettes, in the same sizes as used on the necklace and bracelet, and features the same plating and workmanship. You won't go wrong with these. 7/8" x 7/16". Silver Trifanium setting, 1950's clipbacks.

Description: Trifari Baguette and Round Rhinestone Linked Choker and Bracelet Set - A truly elegant set, probably a Philippe design, made to look like fine jewelry. Nine graduated clear baguette rhinestones are paste set in each full link (and there are 12 in the necklace, 5 full links in the bracelet, plus a divided link with foldover clasp); those links are connected by a single round rhinestone fancy cut dentelle link. Over 180 stones in this set; all set in Trifari's patented rhodium plating. Necklace has djustable hook clasp, will fit up to a 16 1/2" neck; bracelet is 7 1/4". A note to those of you interested in top notich design, the necklace has links that curve on one side to make the necklace fit the curve of the neck, while the bracelet curves outward on both sides so it will lie properly on your wrist. Obviously well thought thru by a master jeweler. The real McCoy would be thousands of dollars; you don't have to tell! Item: SS8-294 Price: $129.50 US/set |

Description: Graziano Brown and Black Maltese Cross Pin - A much more contemporary piece than what I usually list in this category, this is a classic design that will look great forever. Riveted two layer styling uses marbled brown cabochons, black faceted glass pears and small rhinestones in Madiera and light Colorado topaz. Goldtone setting; I replaced one missing rhinestone, otherwise excellent original condition.

Description: Coro Light Sapphire and Silvertone Necklace - This uses a curling leaf motif that is separated by stones of various shapes and sizes - rounds, pears, ovals, and emerald cuts. This adjusts up to 16 1/2" and is in excellent condition. A very flattering look for a pittance. Item: SN8-473 Price: $17.50 US |

Description: Sarah Coventry "Song of India" Brooch and Earring Set - One of SC's most interesting and colorful sets. This uses a pinwheel stone design over a wreath or circle setting, using turquoise colored ballotini, fuchsia/ruby (raspberry red) and Montana (navy) blue rhinestones on a goldtone setting. Because this design did not use any pronging they are usually found with at least a few of the ballotini missing, and these were no exception. I have replaced with as close a size/color match as I could obtain. Brooch is about 1 1/2" in diameter, earrings are clip and about 1" in diameter. Little "do-nuts" in the spaces between stones are excess glue from original manufacture.
Item: SS8-321 Price: $32.50/set US  |

Description: Carol Dauplaise Long Single Strand Necklace in Aqua/Amethyst - 30" long strand with opaque turquoise colored glass beads, goldtone findings and what I am pretty certain are tumbled genuine amethyst quartz "nuggets". Nice weight; sliding typical Dauplaise locking clasp works well but you probably won't need it as this fits easily over your head. Works equally well on its own or as a layering piece. Item: SN8-556 Price: $45.00 US |

Description: Otis Sterling Deco Style Brooch - This was a design that Otis used for not only brooches but bracelets and necklaces as well. The Otis "look" seems to have always been a fine jewelry one, using lots of small stones. This particular piece uses rounds, baguettes and squares, with the focal point being a kind of wheel in the center flanked by open circles and bars at either end. All clear rhinestones are used with all being paste set except for the baguettes that have end pronging. All seems original and in excellent shape, with some uniform darkening of the stones but still lots of sparkle. 2 3/8" x almost 3/4" at widest point at the middle. Signed Otis at one end and sterling at the other. Item: SP8-509 Price: $37.50 US |
