Description: Tortoise and Cream Colored Plastic Deco Brooch - This is an intriguing piece - the plastic does not test for bakelite but is the right heft. The cream colored part is opaque, the tortoise colored is more translucent. Made in three sections, which are all handwired to heavy double filigree; filigree itself is also handwired together, quality pinback. This has been confirmed as NOT Haskell but nonetheless someone went to great pains to handwire a piece that normally would have been glued. About 2 1/4" x 3/4", excellent condition, and a pretty example of 1940's "sporty" jewelry. Very nice on a jacket or sweater. Item: UP12-565 Price: $45.00 US |

Description: Brass and Turquoise/Coral Colored Bead Pair of Dress Clips - These were identified by a Haskell expert as being Haskell, however, I do not believe that they are, though they certainly use colors/components similar to the ones Haskell used. Floral and leaf design is done in brass, with aqua enameled bead centers on the flowers and coral bead "berries" in the center of the design. Headpins for the coral beads are the old rounded head style. (note that the aqua beads are glued and not wired). These clips have seen better days - 2 of the aqua beads are chipped, and three of the coral beads are missing. One clip has some beginning greening (much worse in picture due to flash on camera). However, clip mechanisms are tight and finding a pair of dress clips in this size (2" x 1") and color combination is pretty difficult, and our price is right! Item: UD12-566 Price: $39.50/pair US |

Description: Potmetal and Clear RS Flower Basket Brooch - Sizeable for this type of genre at 2 1/4" x 1 3/4". 2-3 stones appear to be replacements, otherwise all original and in excellent condition. Flower baskets were a favorite them in the 1930s-40s with the motif appearing in all types of household items as well as jewelry. A sweet reminder of simpler days. Item: UP12-401 Price: $49.50 US |

Description: Goldtone and Clear RS Retro Dress Clip - Don't you just love the volute styling on this piece? A sizeable 2 3/4" x 2" makes this an unusual piece and very wearable, especially with the low-cut V necklines that will be everywhere this spring. Wear this to a party or out to dinner and be the envy of all the fashionistas. Item: UD12-402 Price: $49.50 US |

Description: Purple and Pink Givre-Type Earrings - Accented with purple aurora borealis rhinestones, these earrings use deep purple givre navettes and bicolored pink and purple pears. Truly unusual stones. Silvertone setting, all prong set, 1 1/2" x 5/8". Correct three hole clip findings for DeLizza and Elster, but I have not had these confirmed. Regardless of who made these, these stones are unusual and rare and the matching pieces would have to be absolutely breathtaking. Excellent condition. These stones would be impossible to find. Item: UE12-443 Price: $35.00 US |

Description: Blue Faux Moonstone Fan Pin - High quality piece with no signature. Blue glass moonstone balls are prong set around clear bezeled rhinestones in a floral pattern. Sixteen red prong set stones which appear to be genuine garnets (??)are set by twos under each flower. End of fan has a loop with small clear stones set in the interior that may be used as a bale for a pendant necklace. Great attention to detail and in excellent condition. Item: UP12-145 Price: $185.00 US |

Description: Wonderful Link Bracelet in Greens and Blues - a mix of emerald green, green tourmaline, Montana (navy) blue and blue aurora borealis stones, set in a gunmetal type setting. Stones are paste set, rounds and baguettes. Foldover clasp set with dark blue rhinestones, this will fit a larger wrist - up to 8". 11/16" wide. A real show stopper, probably Regency, but unsigned. Item: UB12-538 Price: $59.50 US  |

Description: Deco Style Up the Ear Clip Earrings - Though these earrings were probably made no earlier than the 1950's because of the clip findings, the use of topaz colored rhinestone baguettes and emerald cuts give these earrings a Thirties feeling. Accented with clear rhinestone paved swirls and topaz rhinestone rondelles, these measure 1 5/8" x 3/4". Item: UE12-148 Price: $42.50 US |

Description: Colorado Topaz and Aurora Borealis Rhinestone Earrings - These certainly look like Weiss but no mark. All prong set (mostly multi-prong), excellent condition.Round and navette shaped stones. Clip, 1 3/8" x 3/4". It would be fun to see the matching pieces! Classic 1950's. Item: UE12-499 Price: $19.50 US |

Description: Unfoiled Topaz Glass Oval Stone Floral Brooch - While probably not originally an expensive piece, this charming floral demonstrates once again that years ago inexpensive didn't mean poorly made. Good quality clasp and riveted floral heads. Goldtone plating is somewhat worn; this appears to be the type of piece where the leaves would have been enameled but for whatever reason weren't. Clear rhinestone accents, 3" x 2". Item: UP12-151 Price: $34.50 US |

Description: Red Cabochon and Clear Rhinestone Demi - Demi parures (3 pieces - necklace/bracelet/earrings) are becoming very difficult to find; this demi is in nice shape and very showy. The center cabochons are plastic rather than glass (this would be almost too weighty if glass had been used); all the clear rhinestones in the bracelet are in excellent shape and very "white"; some of the clears in the necklace and ears have darkened,( though not as dark as in photo - you are seeing shadows) . Necklace is adjustable to 15 1/4" and 3/4" at widest point. Bracelet is 7 1/2" with a foldover clasp; earrings are clip, 1 1/4" x 1". Possibly DeLizza and Elster. Item: US12-241 Price: $99.50 US   |

Description: Jonquil Satinstone and Rhinestone Earrings - Satiny yellow marquises and yellow rhinestones make this a yellow-lover's dream! Set in brass, clip back mechanisms. 2" x 1" with plenty of layering. Possibly Juliana, has correct clip mechanism and riveted construction, but I have no matching pieces to substantiate that. Item: UE12-154 Price: $27.50 US |

Description: Red and Frosted Clear Bead Flapper Style Necklace - 28" continuous strand (no clasp) necklace with red seed bead and frosted round bead tassel. Re-strung on red silk thread for your security. Item: UN12-155 Price: $36.50 US |

Description: Green and Frosted Clear Bead Necklace - This piece features gorgeous emerald green and clear glass beads that look almost like handblown glass "pears" in the center section, with frosted and pearlized clear beads and various emerald green round and seed beads making up the chain sections. Spring ring clasp looks newer and I think this may have been restrung at some point (not by me!). Approximately 20" long. Very interesting piece. Item: UN12-156 Price: $27.50 US |

Description: Unsigned Leaf Brooch in Dark Topaz and Black Diamond Rhinestones - If a combination of shimmering grey and brown rhinestones is appealing to you, this is a wonderful piece, just right for every autumn season. Set in the goldtone plating that Weiss and Hollycraft seemed to use. 2 3/4" x 2 1/4" and slightly domed. Item: UP12-157 Price: $49.50 US |

Description: Beaded Red Green Blue Egyptian Style Collar Necklace - This is probably European in origin. Round glass beads in red, green and blue dangle from opaque glass barrel shaped beads going both directions from a brass center chain. Old "thumbless" spring ring clasp. 15 1/4", 1 1/2" wide. Tremendous piece. A similar, not nearly as ornate piece, falsely identified as a Haskell piece, recently sold on rubylane for almost $700. I feel our price is a bargain. Item: UP12-544 Price: $275.00 US |

Description: Japanned Brooch with Clear Rhinestones - This actually has a five pointed star design that alternates with a triple stone pattern that goes in between the "spokes" of the star. 2" in diameter. Always great with black or black/white color schemes that are perenially popular. Item: UP12-159 Price: $25.00 US |

Description: Blue Cabochon anc Clear RS Necklace - Very unusual cabochon necklace with rhinestone links and pave set castings. Twelve pronged glass cabochons each have four rhinestone set leaves; these links are linked with links set with three clear rhinestones. Metal has darkened either by time or design on the top side, while underneath seems to be shiny silver plating. Adjustable hook style, with rhinestone set tail ending in a clear rhinestone pear drop - hook is also rhinestone set with clear baguettes. It is my feeling that the hook may be a long ago replacement. The cabochons get their unusual grey blue color that imitates chalcedony from dark blue foiling on the underside. One cabochon shows loss of about half of that foiling; one other has a small foiling ding. These flaws are only apparent when held up to backlighting and scrutinized carefully and do not show when worn. Fits up to 15" neck and would be extendable very easily on the hook end. Very Trifari looking or possibly Schoeffel. Item: UN12-400 Price: $59.50 US |

Description: Goldtone Mesh and Dark Colorado Topaz Rhinestone Collar - While these multi pronged glass stones look smokey topaz colored on my monitor, they are actually a medium brown. Adjustable hook closure, will accomodate up to a 16 1/2" neck. 3/4" wide at center. Item: UN12-242 Price: $25.00 US |

Description: Coral "Bubblelite" Hinged Clamper Bracelet - Apparently this type of lightweight plastic can be dated, by old advertising, to the mid-late 1950's.I have seen this type of jewelry done in ivory color but never in coral. This piece is in very good original condition, with just a little "paint" off of the hinge mechanism. (see bottom picture). All clear rhinestones are bright and original. Hinge works great, 7/8" wide, 2" x 2 1/2" inner diameter, oval shape. Ivory ones seen on other sites for 3x what I have this priced at. Item: UB12-473 Price: $49.50 US |

Description: Green and Clear Striped Bead Expansion Bracelet - Often referred to as "ChaCha" bracelets, this is done with the sought after striped beads. Silvertone setting, plating in excellent shape. Approximately 1" wide. One bead is missing but you will never be able to tell it. If you have ever tried making one of these bracelets you know how time consuming these are - this one dates to the 1950's. Item: UB12-474 Price: $47.50 US |

Description: Green Cabochon Pear Earrings - D&E?? All prong set, these use one of the correct clip findings for D&E and have the same general size/shape that this company used. Deep bottle green cabs surround a single green and two clear rhinestones. 1 7/8" x 15/16". Excellent original condition. Inside of clip finding says "A" in a circle and Pat. Pend. Item: UE12-475 Price: $16.50 US |

Description: Smoked Topaz and Jonquil Necklace - Possibly a D&E piece, this has rhinestone chain in jonquil (light yellow) and nice quality octagonal unfoiled dark brown stones with two brown rhinestones used above and below at the center for accents. Goldplated brass setting, adjustable hook closure. This will extend up to a little over 14 1/4". Yellow stones show some aging but still have plenty of sparkle, unfoiled stones are excellent condition. Pretty with the v-necked tops and dresses that are prevalent right now. Bargain price. Item: UN12-516 Price: $30.00 US  |

Description: Multi Pastel Glass Moonstone Cabochon Dress Clips - Done in a modified fan shape, with lots of clear rhinestones and black enamel border. Clip mechanisms work well and are pretty in their own right! 1 1/2" x 1 3/8". Enamel is in excellent shape, only one or two rhinestones are replacements. The bottom pink cab on the left has a slight dimple that is not noticeable, in fact, I did not see it even during cleaning, but the good ol' flash camera picked it up! Item: UD12-586 Price: $69.50 US |

Description: Haskellesque West German Necklace and Earring Set - Though the components used here are not quite the calibre used by Haskell, this set is certainly made to look like her work, and the labor involved would be similar. Green glass pieces and beads and plastic leaves are handwired to pierced metal cages and covered with a plain brass backing; necklace stringing alternates small clear seed beads and green glass beads. Inside of hook clasp is marked M.West Germany and brass backing on earrings is marked West (over) Germany. Typical West German clips. Necklace adjusts up to slightly over 16", center motif is 1 1/2" wide. Clip earrings are 1 1/4" in diameter. Wear to the back of the necklace brass backing and on the hook, otherwise fine. If you like the look of Haskell but can't hack the price, this set may be for you. Item: US12-587 Price: $59.50 US  |

Description: Large Dangle Brooch in Jonquil, Dk. Brown and Aurora Borealis - This unusual brooch is much more impressive in person - huge smokey topaz rhinestone navettes (30mm x 15mm) dominate this piece. Jonquil rhinestone chain terminates in large aurora borealis stones. All stones prong set, goldtone setting. Over 4" x 2 3/4". Item: UP12-588 Price: $59.50 US |

Description: Tiny Basket Pin with Blue Square Stones - If you know a basket collector, this would be a fun addition to their collection. Potmetal, clear rhinestone pave accented with a blue square glass stone band, and multi jewel tone floral upper. Basket handle is 3-D and may even be usable as a pendant. 1 1/8" x 1". One stone on the handle has darkened, you may wish to replace. Item: UP12-589 Price: $9.50 US |

Description: Large Triple Leaf Brooch - 3 1/4" x 2", goldtone with black diamond and Colorado topaz rhinestones. Interesting metal fauna gives a three dimensional feel, entire piece is somewhat domed. This looks like it might be a Hollycraft manufactured piece, either for their own line or for one of the companies they subcontracted for. Excellent condition and a great price. Item: UP12-590 Price: $34.50 US |
