Description: Arumed Rhinestone Clip Earrings - These were almost certainly manufactured by Hollycraft, whether for their own line or for the lines that they manufactured for, Weiss being the primary wholesaler of this type of costume jewelry. These use the plating, a bright slightly greenish goldtone. 1 1/8" x 3/4", excellent condition.

Item: UE10-511

Price: $17.50 US

Description: Unsigned Coro Half of Duette - Probably the most sought after by collectors Coro items are the duettes, and the faux moonstone duettes are some of the most popular items. This is a well-known design, but all I have is one of the two fur clips that would have made up the duette. (Coro duettes were almost always signed on the duette frame rather than the individual fur or dress clips). Anyway, the fur clip is in excellent condition, it just needs its mate! Perhaps you have it. About 1 3/8" x 1", dark blue glass moonstone cabs, blue enamel and clear rhinestones.

Symmetrical design follows a 1-2-2-3-3 stone pattern on each half. Standard clamper size, with widest area at front about 1 1/8" wide. Strong hinge fits nicely. Quality clampers are difficult to find. Confirmed D&E.

Pie-crust type settings with dog-toothed pronging for the large ovals, all other stones are regular 4 prong settings.

Description: Top Quality Blue RS & Glass Pearl Earrings - Rhodium plated with clip earring findings identical to ones I have seen on Pennino, these are simply marked Patent Pending. Glass faux pearl center is cream colored and surrounded by sets of three Indian Sapphire pear shaped prong set rhinestones. (Indian sapphire is a Swarovski color name for a slightly grey-hued dark aqua blue stone - very pretty and difficult to find.) Original glass pearls were scuffed and I was lucky to find identical replacements. Earrings are 1" square.

Description: Czech Style Brooch with unfoiled Golden Topaz Glass Dentelles - vibrant golden stones are interspersed with metal leaves; these leaves are worn to the point that they look silver but originally were probably brass colored. 2" x 1 3/4".

Description: Czech Style Multi Jeweltone Rhinestone Brooch - Typical piece is a nice size for wearing either on its own or as part of a grouping. 2 1/8" x 1 3/8" and slightly domed. I replaced a few missing stones but for the most part all is original here.  

Item: UP10-220

Description: Peking Glass Hinged Bangle Bracelet - This side hinged clamper uses large three dimensional glass pieces in a white speckled green; the speckling is quite light, the eye does not notice it except with close inspection, but just perceives the jade color green. The glass pieces almost remind one of an eggplant shape and are wired into place. Matte finish goldtone, tongue and box clasp. My first inclination when I saw this was that it was Trifari; however, no signature and could have been any good quality 1960's company. Very wearable, oval shape, standard 2 1/4" x 2", 3/4" at widest point and 3/16" at back. Excellent condition.

Description: Colorado Topaz Rivoli Earrings - Possibly D&E, these lovely earrings would make a very nice marriage with the above bracelet. 3/4" in diameter, goldtone setting, very good condition, with the back side of the clip mechanisms somewhat age patina-ed.

Item: UE10-510

Channel set baguettes run both horizontally and vertically and alternate with round; all clear rhinestones, all paste set. Rhodium plate, lovely design. Even more elegant in person. 2 3/4" x 1 3/8". Excellent condition.

Description: Fuchsia Faux Moonstone Floral Brooch - Large 4" x 1 3/4" potmetal brooch with burgundy enamel, clear rhinestones and hobnailed metal accents.  Small ding in enamel and clear rhinestones appear to be replacements (not by me), but a lovely design in an unusual design for the faux moonstone collector.

Description: Teal Star Necklace - Want something that looks patriotic but not the standard red/white/blue?  This teal rhinestone star necklace circa 1950's may just be the ticket.  Typical rhinestone chain has unusual star shaped glass stones under a rhinestone arch.  Fancy foldover clasp.  Will fit up to a 14 1/2" neck.  One stone is a  replacement.

Description: Spectacular 4 strand Necklace and Earrings Set - This uses some truly unusual beads in unusual ways. Clear faceted oval beads are "shot" with topaz color and bordered with embossed metal "collars". Add in coppery gold "fluss" beads going down the center and use watermelon AB flattened bicones, as well as clear unfaceted balls, matte taupe colored oval beads and scalloped edged topaz colored bicones, and you have a cacophony of fall colors deluxe! Clip earrings also use small grey seed pearls and slightly larger taupe beads, handwired into the design which uses a double filigree backing. I do NOT think this is Haskell but probably European. Whatever this is, it definitely stops traffic! Earrings are about 1 1/4" x 7/8"; necklace graduates from 11" to 15" plus extensions for hook and bead chain clasp of 5 1/2", so that this will accomodate up to a 16 1/2" neck. Excellent condition.

Description: Green Glass Faux Moonstone and Lime Green Rhinestone Earrings - 1950's moonstone pieces came in pink, blue, purple, yellow, beige, and even green - and green is probably the hardest color to find. If you have other lime green pieces you need to match, here is your opportunity. Clip findings, goldtone setting, 1 1/4" x 5/8".

Item: UE10-392

Price: $12.50 US

Description: Jade? and Goldtone Filigree Brooch - I think these jade colored oval stones are glass but there is enough variation in the color to make me not 100% sure; however I have priced the piece as costume so if it's not you get a real bargain! This is a lovely, graceful design and the c-type clasp is not that old so I am wondering if this was made somewhere other than the US. 2 1/4" x 1 1/8". Goldtone is very slightly worn, otherwise excellent condition.

Item: UP10-396

Price: $18.00 US

Description: Black Thermoplastic Clip Earrings with 3 rows of clear rhinestones - These look for all the world like they should go with some kind of Weiss clamper bracelet, but earring backs are marked "Japan" and while the findings are close they are not identical. Regardless they work great and the earrings are a wonderful style. Centers are concave. All stones are original and in excellent shape. Very slightly over 1" in diameter.

Item: UE10-424

Price: $28.50 US
