Description: Smarged Pink Bead Earrings - I have seen these beads referred to as shoebutton, but they are pink glass beads with white swirls, some attached with rhinestone headpins. Also included in the mix are plae pink crystal beads and goldtone flowers set with pink rhinestones. All wired to a pierced metal grid, covered with a filigree type backplate. French clip findings. The only thing that is odd is that the back part of the earrings are silvertone and the front are goldtone! Doesn't affect the appearance. 1" in diameter. Item: UE2-539 Price: $18.50 US |

Description: Sterling Vermeil Retro Earrings with Multi Colored Rhinestones - Floral and ribbon motif earrings marked sterling on both the body and the ends of the screwback findings. Stones are all prong set, with marquises in pink, emerald green, sapphire blue, purple and topaz, around a center emerald green round. About 1 1/8" in diameter. Vermeil (goldtone plating over sterling) is in good shape, with some signs of wear on the underside. Excellent overall condition and very attractive design. Hard item to find. These would go nicely with some of the Coro Retro pieces in the signed section of the site. Item: UE2-540 Price: $28.50 US |

Clip style, all stones are original and in excellent shape, japanning shows a little wear where the findings rub on themselves.

Description: Unsigned Josef Morton 3 Strand Necklace in Blush Pink - I purchased this from a woman who said it was signed Josef Morton; when I asked her where the signature was, she said it must have fallen off (string tag) and indicated that she did not know who Josef Morton was. One look at the clasp and I was sure she was telling me the truth (see bottom picture). Opaque glass beads in very soft pink are separated by a series of clear glass and brass seed bead spacers. Terminals are double filigree, all hand-wired, and bird hook clasp, all indicators of Frank Hess, Morton's designer, and the head designer for Morton's aunt, Miriam Haskell, for many years. Circa 1960. One strand was broken so I have restrung the entire piece on silk, as per original stringing. Item: UN2-374 Price: $69.50 US |

Description: 2x Hematite Finish Smoky Topaz Crystal Bead Earrings with Rhinestones - These beaded clip earrings have a clear rhinestone ball at the center, surrounded by beads attached with rhinestone headpins on the upper row and plain headpins on the lower. About 1 inch in diameter, excellent condition. At this price you'd have difficulty buying the parts. Probably unsigned Laguna. Item: UE2-299 Price: $17.50 US |

Description: Duette with Bright Blue Rhinestones - Sometimes when you find pieces in light sapphire rhinestones the stones are kind of "washed out" looking. These are definitely NOT those; quite an intense light blue that is usually only found in dichroic stones, however, this isn't a color change piece. Easy slide off duette connector, all parts work well. 2 1/2" x 1" fully assembled. Silvertone setting, excellent condition. Colored rhinestone duettes are fairly rare. Item: UD2-479 Price: $79.50 US |

Description: Blue Moonglow (Faux Moonstone) Clear Rhinestone and Enamel Bow - This is almost undoubtedly Coro but I cannot find a signature.Nice medium blue with blue-grey enamel; everything appears original and in very good condition with some slightly enamel loss on right bottom edge. Stones have yellowed slightly concurrent with age. All in all really excellent shape for a 70 year old piece. 2 3/4" x 2 1/2". Item: UP2-447 Price: $32.50 US |

Description: Owl Pendant Necklace with Topaz Glass Belly - Just a fun piece for the owl collector. Large 3" x 1 1/2" pendant has two large smokey topaz rhinestones for eyes and flatbacked topaz glass cabochon for the body. This huge cabochon (30mmx40mm) is in an openback setting that has been slightly scratched on the foil backing but this is not noticeable on most backgrounds unless you are up close and looking for it at certain angles. Heavy 36" goldtone chain. Probably from the late 1960's. Item: UN2-373 Price: $12.50 US  |

Deep blue rectangular (octagon) stones alternate with borders and center row of clear rhinestones. Silvertone (rhodium) plate, jeweled push-in v clasp, excellent condition, thumbless safety chain. High quality and an example of why you should never by-pass unsigned jewelry. Item: UB2-711 Price: $110.00 US |

Description: Floral Brooch Multi Peach Enamel & Stone - This charming piece is a hard to find color, using a pinky-peach enamel overlaid with a tangerine colored enamel. Leaves are enameled medium and dark green. Center is set with clear round rhinestones, and top has 5 pointed top light siam marquises. The three unfoiled and prong set oval stones are a color that I will say is close to roseline, but deeper - I don't think I've ever seen this color stone before. The enameling here looks typical for Coro but the piece is unsigned. Goldtone, plating wear on back of stem that shows enamel loss, you may wish to have the stem re-enameled but the rest of the enamel, while worn at edges and a few high points, is in pretty good shape for a 70 year old piece. A nice size at 3 1/4" x 1 3/4". Item: UP2-661 Price: $32.50 US |

Description: Fuschia Moonstone and Clear Rhinestone Basket Brooch - This little cutie is a nice addition for the basket pin collector. About 1 1/8" in both directions. Potmetal setting; one rhinestone appears to be a replacement. Item: UP2-175 Price: $16.50 US |

Description: Wonderful Unfoiled Topaz Glass Bow Brooch - This certainly is the stone quality and pronging that one finds in Eisenberg, and the design is certainly very similar to signed Eisenberg bows, but no signature. All stones are pronged except the tiny rounds; all the large stones are unfoiled except the squares. Rounds are dentelle (fancy) cut, as are the smaller ovals. Excellent condition, 3" x 2 1/4". Potmetal setting. .Item: UP2-505 Price: $79.50 US |

Description: Quality Dog Collar Necklace with Clear Rhinestones - Floral motif necklace uses 7 links with a flower made up of a pave set half ball surrounded by 6 marquise petals, framed with pave set open squares which provide the place to use baguette and round rhinestone set linkage. Snake chain leads to a rhinestone set foldover clasp. Silvertone, heavy rhodium plate is unblemished. Clears have mellowed to various shades of grey but somehow this does not detract from the romantic look. At 13" in length (1/2" at widest points) this is meant to be fairly snug so that it doesn't flop, but you will want to measure your neck carefully to make sure it will fit. Such attention to detail warrants a signature but alas, there is none. Item: UN2-743 Price: $39.50 US |

Description: DeLizza & Elster Earrings with Floral Stone - Unusual art glass stones are dark blue cabochons that have carved out? leaves and florals, with the florals accented with a fuchsia rhinestone. Earrings are enhanced with a blue aurora borealis half border terminated with a teal prong set rhinestone; capri blue rhinestones rim the bottom of the piece and accent the paste set teal rhinestone. Typical design and standard clip backs, goldtone, 1 1/4" x 5/8". Excellent condition according to Ann Pittman's book these were called Fruit Bowl and were first produced in 1963. Item: UE2-754 Price: $59.50 US |

Description: Unsigned Dujay? Majorette Pin - Found in the Brunialti's American Costume Jewelry books in a variation with glass pearl head, different enamel colors and a slightly more elaborate uniform, this is still definitely old and NOT a repro. All stones are present except for one small rhinestone on top of the baton. Measures 2 1/2" by almost 1" at widest points. Enameling is 99% intact with small ding on "skirt" and hat; if there was initially enamel on the left sleeve it is now gone, but doesn't appear to have been. Item: UP2-179 Price: $145.00 US |

Description: Unsigned Milk Glass/Pearlized Glass/Black Diamond Clamper Bracelet and Earrings Set - A lovely combination of black diamond rhinestones and pearlized white oval cabochons with chalk white glass marquises. Pearlized cabs are slightly lumpy, making a nice contrast to the plain marquises. Dogtooth setting for the oval cabochons, hinged clamper bracelet is silvertone and closes nicely (opened for display only) and 1 1/8" x 1" earrings are clip. Almost certainly unsigned Regency. Item: US2-177 Price: $79.50 US |

Description: DeLizza and Elster? Burgundy Stippled Cab Brooch - Some people refer to these as D&E Easter Egg pieces, but stippled cab is probably more accurate. Characteristic heart shaped filigree findings are used at N-S-E-W. Done with burgundy enamel with "splatters" in predominately forest gree, white and red. Small pieces of rhinestone chain run along the border, and each heart is set with a single prong set red rhinestone. Harp type closure. Goldtone back shows mild scratching but anything dark you may see in the reverse side picture is a reflection. Very good to excellent condition, 2 1/4" x 1 5/8" x 3/8" deep. Item: UP2-728 Price: $45.00 US |

Description: Set of Two Mama & Baby Duck - Okay, I THINK these are ducks because of the webbed feet, but my husband says pelican, so, you decide! Pink faux moonstone bodies with clear rhinestone set wings and aqua enameled heads with clear rhinestone eyes. Goldtone, mama is 1 1/8" x 1" and baby is 3/4" x 5/8". I am guessing that these are children's jewelry from circa 1950. Very little children's jewelry survives for obvious reasons and is a charming genre; even more rare, these are in excellent condition. Item: UP2-736 Price: $42.50/pr. US |

Description: Fish Pin with Turquoise Colored Cabochons and Clear Pave - This brooch has top designer written all over it but no signature. Domed body is 3 1/4" x 1 1/4", with interesting cut out design. Turquoise glass cab "spots" and clear rhinestone set fins, tail and head, topped off with a red rhinestone eye. One clear rhinestone is a replacement, otherwise excellent original condition. No fish story here, this is a great piece. Item: UP2-764 Price: $49.50 US |
