Description: Unsigned Eisenberg Bow Brooch - This has been attributed to Eisenberg; it is definitely old, though this design has be reproed (please see 2nd pic with colored repro). Large stones are prong set and appear to be unfoiled, though this may simply be that the foiling has worn off over the years. Some of the smaller round clears in the border and center of the bow were missing and have been replaced. Original is larger than the repro; 2 3/4" x 2". Metal may have been darkened but may be dark just from aging of metal, but a "japanned" effect results whether intentional or not. Repro is for sale in the special occasion section of the contemporary jewelry portion of the site.

Description: Large Potmetal Peacock Brooch - One of the most popular of the 1930's figurals, this measures 5" long and 1 1/2" wide. His body is set with clear fired polished chatons and he has a green rhinestone eye and unfoiled aqua glass dentelle cut stones in his tail feathers. Several of the clears are replacements but are the correct matching fire-polished stones that were originally used.

Description: Art Deco Clear Rhinestone Bracelet - My gut feeling is that this is early Trifari (TKF-KTF) but there are no markings to verify that it is. Beautiful design and type of plating and stones seem to indicate Trifari or someone trying very hard to look like it. All stones are original; darkening commensurate with 70+ years is uniform and certainly found in almost all Trifari of this age. Other than plating wear on the reverse side I can find no flaw. 9 larger links are connected by alternating small links that are either baguette or set with small rounds. Hidden push-in clasp - design goes around entire length. Safety chain. 7" x 3/8". One of the nicest deco bracelets in all clear that I've ever had for sale.

Description: Pink and Green Enameled Floral Trembler Pin - This charming piece has quite a few tiny rhinestones as accents and three relatively large clear stones. The enameled is in good but not perfect condition - one pink petal has a chipped spot and the leaves have several small dings. However for its age it still looks very good and has the added benefit of having the floral head on a spring so that it trembles while you move. Possibly Coro but unsigned.

Description: Mama & Baby Duck Pin with Faux Moonstone - One of the sweetest figural pins I have had; this uses clear rhinestone pave for the ducks' bodies and beaks, while the heads are done in rose-pink and light blue glass moonstones. The mama's head is even more unusual in that it is a high domed cabochon with almost a "star sapphire" effect. Rose gold colored plating, wonderful condition, about 2 1/4" x 1". This would make a lovely gift for an elementary school teacher or anyone who collects animal figurals.

Description: Turquoise and Clear Rhinestone Necklace & Earring Set-Very much in the manner of Bogoff, and the same as a set I saw signed "Ora", two Chicago area manufacturers whose styles and quality are similar, even though there is apparently no connection between the two companies.   Screw back earrings are .75" x .625"; necklace measures 18" and has a foldover clasp. Necklace features marquise and teardrop shaped aqua rhinestones and clear rounds, with 1 small clear square atop the diamond shaped pendant dangle. $65.00/set

Description: HUGE Gilt Leaf Brooch - I like big, so when I say huge, well, it's big!! 5 1/4" x 2" with channel set square clear rhinestones running down the center. A fun piece guaranteed to get people's attention.

Item: UP6-361

Price: $22.50 US

Description: Unsigned Domed Round Brooch - This certainly exhibits most of the trademarks of design that Schreiner used - unfoiled open back stones set point up, gunmetal type setting - the only thing missing is the hook and eye construction, which is not appropriate to this design. Stones are jet (in center), golden and light Colorado topaz, and black diamond rhinestones in the rounds, and a deep Madeira topaz for the navettes (which are not inverted.) Open setting would look best on a light colored fabric to show off the deep colors used.

Description: DeLizza and Elster aka Juliana Filigree Ball Earrings in Blue - The filigree balls on these earrings are actually much more gold in reality than would appear in my picture - in trying to get the correct blue I ended up changing the goldtone in the picture. All prong set aurora borealis stones surround the filigree ball - excellent condition, correct do-nut clip mechanism. Excellent original condition. 1 1/8" x 3/4".

Item: UE6-430

Price: $22.50 US

Description: DeLizza and Elster Black RS and Filigree Ball Earrings - I believe these are identical to the earrings directly above, just with different color stones. What looks like a scratch on the left marquise is ? not there, must have been a piece of fuzz...Excellent condition, 1 1/8" x 3/4" . Why do these remind me slightly of the Playboy bunny motif - too many ears. Donut hole clipbacks. Open and closed back settings.

Item: UE6-456

Price: $24.50 US

•••

Description: DeLizza and Elster aka Juliana Smoked Topaz and Aurora Borealis Rhinestone Earrings - All prong set and much more dynamic and sparkly than my picture indicates - these match a wonderful bracelet that I have seen (as well, I am sure, as a necklace and brooch). The dark brown rhinestones are a very rich looking contrast to the cool of the aurora borealis. Goldtone setting, donut hole clip. Florettes are rivet set into a closed back setting.

Item: UE6-458

Price: $39.50 US

Description: Green and Clear Butterfly Brooch - This potmetal butterfly has all clear paste-set rhinestone body with a green rhinestone border on the wings.  Not quite 2" x 1 3/4".  A few missing stones have been replaced.

Item: UP6-071

Price: $30.00 US

Description: Coro Look Owl - This appears to be a pin version of the Coro owl duettes that are so popular.  Wings and head are studded with clear rhinestones, while the eyes are large aqua ovals. 1 1/2" x 1", light goldtone. Cute gift for a teacher. 

Item: UP6-072

Price: $20.00 US

Description: Aqua and Clear Rhinestone Dangle Clip Earrings - I thoroughly expected to find the Bogoff name on these earrings when I first picked them up; no signature, but clip mechanisms are exceptionally nice quality (and I have not seen any marked Bogoff that used this type.) Regardless they are very pretty earrings with pave set clears and aqua colored marquises. 1 1/2" x 1/2" and manage to look elegant as well as substantial. Excellent condition and would look quite nice with the necklace located below.

Item: UE6-471

Price: $19.50 US

Description: Arabian Nights Pin - I don't know if this is properly called a blackamoor or not, but he certainly is a cutie!  With black enameled torso and gold tone turban and harem pants, which are both sprinkled with multi colored rhinestones, his waist, armband, slippers and topknot are all pave set with original stones.  One slipper has cracked, only noticeable on the closest of scrutiny, but price reflects. A variation on a HAR genie seen in Marcia Brown's Rhinestone Figural book.

Item: UP6-074

Price: $26.50 US

Description: Clear and Aqua Rhinestone Dog Collar - Pretty piece for spring! 1930's looking linkage is set with clear rhinestones, and the center of each link has a single aqua marquise, all in silvertone. Foldover clasp is set with three clear rhinestones. Probably originally meant for a teenager or adult with a small neck - this measures about 13 1/2". If you have a foldover clasp extender this could easily be lengthened.

Item: UN6-202

Price: $75.00 US

Description: Pink Cabochon and Rhinestone Bracelet - The metal type used here is unknown but has a pewtery appearance; filigree type design serves as basis for 3-D volutes, prong-set rose pink rhinestones and marbled glass cabochons. Wide push-in type clasp either makes this an older piece than one would imagine at first glance, or is perhaps European made. 5 large links with smaller detailed connecting links; volutes also have a detailed design. 7" x 7/8" wide. Excellent original condition.

Item: UB6-421

Price: $59.50 US

Description: Possible D&E Chalk White Brooch and Earring Set - Brooch has open and closed backs, built in pin stem. Older style triangular earring backs, all stones are prong set. Interesting use of diamond shaped stones in both the earrings and brooch. Earrings are 1 3/4" x 3/4", brooch is 2 1/2" x 1 5/8". Excellent condition.

Item: US6-552

Price: $32.50 US

Description: Blue and Green Haskellesque Hand-Wired Brooch and Earring Set - While I don't think this is Haskell it was done by someone trying to copy the Haskell style. All handwired using lapis/soldalite look faceted beads, dark blue aurora borealis seed beads, wonderful blue/green swirled glass beads secured with capri blue headpins, flattened green AB crystal rounds, lumpy multi colored art glass, deep peacock art beads and blue ab flower beads attached with green head pins AND what almost looks like tumbled abalone shell. Whew! Amazing little pieces of work, these would be a bundle if they were Haskell. Excellent condition. Brooch is a curved pentagonal, 1 3/4" in diameter, clip earrings are 1 1/8" in diameter.
