Description: Francois Enamel, Glass Pearl and Rhinestone Brooch and Earring Set - Francois was one of three top end lines for Coro (along with Vendome and Corocraft); most of the pieces were tailored, so finding colored rhinestone or this combination of enamel, stones and faux pearls is pretty unusual. These floral designs are particularly sought after, and it is a thrill to be able to offer the brooch with matching earrings. The design is intricate and beautiful, with curling leaves surrounding the florals, of which the smallest floral heads use extremely tiny clear rhinestones. The brooch is 2 3/8" x 2 1/8"; adjustable screw-clip earrings are 1" x 7/8". Other than two tiny rhinestones on the earrings everything is original. The only thing that I see flaw-wise are an enamel "bubble" in each earring that would have been done in the factory during manufacture. An incredible set for the discerning collector.

Description: Sarah Coventry "Nature's Choice" Earrings - Done in silvertone and goldtone, (with a more marked difference between the two in person) these clip earrings are in excellent shape and the design is lovely (in fact I have seen a Boucher design that is almost identical to this except I believe there are rhinestones on the center vein.) About 1 1/4" x 1". If two-tone pieces are your "thang" this would be an excellent addition to your wardrobe. I don't normally carry the plainer pieces of SC but these are too nice to pass up.

Description: Sarah Coventry "Mosaic" Brooch -Certainly one of my favorite SC pieces, a classic, wearable brooch that has certainly withstood the test of time. Stylized Maltese cross design done with opaque cabochons; center one simulates bloodstone, while outer pieces simply look like an assortment of colors-red, olive green and a turquoise blue, separataed by cherry red opaque cabs. Goldtone setting , double rope design, 3" x 3". You'll enjoy this forever.

Description: Coro Aqua Trembler Fur Clip - One of Coro's most popular floral designs, , this features two tone enameling in aqua, and the center of the floral head is an aqua and clear rhinestone trembler, a piece that is on a small spring and moves slightly when the wearer moves. The three leaves are set with aqua colored square stones (one or two seem slightly more vibrant color-wise, so they may either be replacements or the stones have aged a little differently.) Goldtone plating borders each leaf and each petal of the flower. Fur (pin) clip clasp, signed Coro in script (very faint, but there), with an incised number (9168) plus an almost unreadable patent number, 117802, which was assigned to Gene Verrecchio, head designer for Coro, in 1939. Excellent condition.

Description: Sarah Coventry Light of the East Brooch - Excellent condition and quality, this uses enameled oval "Morroccan" looking stones in navy, red, dark green and black (photo was taken with a flash camera, I don't think you'll find the colors to look garish in person). Goldtone setting, 1 3/4" x 1 7/8". Probably from the 1960's, during a time period when Middle Eastern looking accessories were popular and sold by many different companies.

Description: Sarah Coventry Austrian Lites Earrings - This olive green/pink and purple/goldtone color scheme was also used in the SC Contessa design group, and could possibly be used interchangeably if desired.

Link style, 7 1/4" x 1". Each link is about 1", so if you have a really tiny wrist you might even be able to remove a link if you wanted. Excellent original condition, as is almost every SC piece; heavy, substantial "quality" feel. Black/white clothing is perenially popular and this goes perfectly with those colors.

Item: SB9-561

Description: Coro Faux Moonstone, Enamel & Rhinestone Duette - While clear rhinestone duettes are not that uncommon, the ones that use colored stones are much more difficult to find, especially if they also incorporate enamel. This features three raspberry colored faux moonstone cabochons, two tone green enamel leaves and clear rhinestones (all of which are original, which is pretty rare.) Frame is marked Coro Duette with a utility patent of 1798867, and each dress clip is marked with a patent for the better "spring" mechanism, 1852188. Excellent condition, about 2" x 1".

Description: Trifari Goldtone/Silvertone "Moderne" Pendant Necklace and Earrings Set - These 1970's-80's sets are gaining in popularity as prices for highend Trifari skyrocket. The design actually reminds me a little of door chimes, with the pendant portion having a graduated section from 1 7/8" to 2 5/8" that alternates goldtone and silvertone, freely suspended from a nicely done 24" chain, with the logo "Crown T" tag hanging from the springring clasp. Clip earrings also use both goldtone and silvertone "chimes" in a 1" length. Other than very mild surface scratching that is only visible in very bright light at the right angle, I find no problems.

Description: Eisenberg Clear Rhinestone Earrings with Floral Motif - Large dentelle cut rounds make up the floral "heads", with two marquise "leaves" and a pave set "ribbon". Excellent condition. I have replaced a few missing pave stones. Signed Eisenberg on clip (actually the E is missing from faulty stamping, these actually say ISENBERG). Silvertone, stones are in very nice condition. 1 3/8" x 7/8". Top picture is upside down, the marquises are actually at the top of these earrings.

Item: SE9-634

Price: $32.50 US

•••

Description: Spectacular Weiss Clear Rhinestone Pinwheel Brooch - One of the best clear rhinestone brooches I have ever had, equal to any of the 1950's Eisenberg. This features seven 13mm dentelle (fancy) cut rhinestones, six 7.75mm dentelle rhinestones, six rectangular cuts and a whole lot of graduated pave set stones. Blindingly beautiful, this baby was very difficult to photograph because of its refraction. Center stone has a small hazy spot only noticeable with close scrutiny, otherwise superior condition. This piece deserves your best velvets and any occasion where you want to knock their socks off.

Item: SP9-293

Price: $135.00 US

Description: Sarah Coventry Acapulco Brooch and Earrings - This goldtone set has cinammon colored opaque oval cabochons and light moss green opaque oval cabochons. Brooch is about 2" in diameter and ear clips are about 1 1/8" in diameter. All original condition, I can find no flaw.

Item: SS9-339

Price: $24.00 US

•••

Description: Sarah Coventry Fashion Parade Necklace and Earring Set - Pendant style necklace and matching earrings - pendant is unusual in that it has it's own jump ring so it can be detached from the chain (perhaps originally on a different chain???) 18" goldtone curb-type chain has Sarah Coventry metal hang tag. Clip earrings use smaller baroque type glass pearl; one pearl has a small ding in the pearlesence on the back underside where it does not show. Chain has dulled with time, otherwise in excellent original condition, but price reflects these very small flaws. It is my understanding that this grouping also came with a stick pin and a ring.

Item: SS9-333

Price: $25.00 US

•••

Description: Sarah Coventry Carnival Brooch and Earrings Set - Apparently SC used this design name on more than one style. This uses navy, red, and dark moss green round cabochons in goldtone. Marked on clip finding Sarah Cov with copyright mark; stamping is light, but there.Brooch is marked Sarah Cov with copyright mark, also, and is about 2 1/4" in diameter; earrings are about 1 1/8" in diameter. Goldtone. A very wearable set in great condition.

Item: SS9-334

Price: $27.50 US

•••

Description: Sarah Coventry Maltese Cross Design Pendant Necklace - I have tried to find the exact pattern name for this design and recently found information suggesting it was called "Starburst", though SC also used this name for a different design. Frosted goldtone type setting with dark brown round rhinestones and a color that seems to be halfway in between jonquil and peridot-a yellow green that perhaps we can describe as light celery green. How about periquil? Anyway, excellent condition. Chain is a double rollo, 22", and is not marked so is perhaps a replacement?? but not by me. Pendant portion is 2 3/8" in diameter, weighty.

Item: SN9-369

Price: $18.50 US

•••

Description: Claudette Clear Rhinestone Dangling Clip Earrings - A rarely found and sought after name. Pretty design of small clears and channel set baguettes, from which suspend a larger round. 1 1/4" x 1/2" at widest point, excellent condition, all original. Silvertone, all paste set. Any stone darkening is a reflection and not there in person.

Item: SE9-678

Price: $28.50 US

Sorry, SOLD!

•••

Description: Ledo Heart Link "Tennis" Bracelet - Ledo, a signature used by the Policini company, is not a commonly found brand, and always seems to be of excellent quality. This is a nice weight, with heavy rhodium plating and 17 links for a beautiful fit. About 7 1/2" x 5/16". This came to us missing one stone, and as it was not possible to match the existing clears, I have completely restoned the piece. Foldover clasp.

Item: SB9-601

Price: $29.50 US

•••

Description: Sarah Coventry Blue Lagoon Brooch - From 1964, one of the most popular of SC collectors' pieces, I believe this was originally a hostess gift (could not be purchased by general public) and was often sold with a set of three earrings, one of could be inserted in the top of this brooch for a more 3 dimensional effect for evening wear. Inner row of sapphire blue rhinestones is surrounded by a second row of light sapphire rhinestones, and then all is bordered with irridescent blue navettes and a single round at the top. Silvertone (rhodium?) plating, all stones prong set, slightly domed. 2 1/2" x 1 5/8". Very good condition with just the slightest of aging to the light blue stones. Marked Sarah Cov and copyright symbol.
