Unsigned Brooches and Pins
Here you will find brooches and pins with no makers mark; in many cases these were parts of marked sets that have gotten separated from their signed "mates". Even without a signature they are beautiful, fashionable statements, to be worn alone or in groups. Be creative, there are lots of other places to wear a brooch than simply on a lapel or shoulder. This section will include florals, leaves, figurals, bows, birds, butterflies, baskets, 1930's potmetals and Czech look pieces

Description: Floral Brooch with Blue Faux Moonstone Cabochons, Enamel and Rhinestones - A lovely piece, very Trifari looking, but unsigned. Baby blue glass cabochons act as flowers, while green enameled leaves and brown and green enameled stems are encircled with pave set ribbon, with additional clear rhinestone accent pieces on and around the flowers. White enameled sections are also at the base of the two larger blue moonstones. 3" x 2". Condition is very good but has enamel loss on edge of left leaf (spot on right leaf is camera reflection and NOT enamel loss) and on the center stem near the bottom. One smaller blue moonstone has a scratch and one large and one small moonstone have color wear spots. As you can see from the picture the moonstone flaws are indiscernible but have to be noted for accuracy. Absolutely charming, and quite a complex piece. Item: UP9-687 Price: $59.50 US |

Description: Pink Faux Moonstone, Enamel and Rhinestone Floral Pin - Another charming floral, this time done in pink glass moonstones, with lots of clear pave and black enamel accents. 2 7/8" x 1 1/2". Very good condition with a couple of tiny dings in one moonstone,one replaced rhinestone and a little enamel loss. Item: UP9-688 Price: $47.50 US |

Description: Fall Colors Brooch - Large oval glass center stone in Colorado topaz (unfoiled) is surrounded by lime green pears and rounds and topaz colored rounds at 3-6-9-12. Goldtone setting looks Florenza or ART, but no mark. 1 7/8" x 1 5/8", excellent condition with one undetectable replaced topaz stone. Item: UP9-690 Price: $18.50 US |
•••
  |
Description: Thistle Motif Pin Pendant - I am pretty certain that this is a piece of unsigned Miracle jewelry, a company based in Birmingham, England that started post WWII and is still in existence today, that specializes in Scottish, Celtic, and English based designs. Center stone is 1" in diameter and could best be described as honey colored. Pewtery type metal setting. 1 3/4" square, meant to be worn at angle shown. Excellent condition with some patina. Item: UP10-697 Price: $34.50 US |
•••
  |
Description: Square Rivoli Olivine Brooch - Though you cannot see it, the center stone actually flashes some gold-orange shades when turned in the light. Surrounded by 3 rows of green aurora borealis rhinestones, set in goldtone, this measures 1 5/8" in diameter and is in excellent condition. Very nice as a contrast with neutral clothing (black, white, tan) as well as coordinating with greens. Item: UP10-695 Price: $22.50 US |
•••
  |
Description: Goldtone/Clear Rhinestone "Starfish" motif Brooch - Whether this was intended as a starfish/sea anemone or just a 3-dimensional floral brooch, this is a lovely focal point piece for a blazer or jacket. Fairly heavy, with riveted layers that go from 1" in diameter at the top to 2 1/4" at the bottom, making it about 3/8" deep. Excellent condition with one replaced rhinestone Item: UP10-696 Price: $26.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |

  |
Description: Light Blue Floral Glass Rhinestone Brooch - Similar to the fruit salad pieces, this is either early Trifari or a vintage wannabe. Potmetal with clear rhinestone pave, two floral glass stones and two leaf stones. 1 1/2" x 1" and very sweet. One tiny clear stone is a replacement, otherwise excellent original condition. Item: UP11-689 Price: $22.50 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: Retro Trembler Stylized Floral Brooch - This large (4" x 2 1/4") brooch has green glass briolettes at the top of wires that move as the wearer moves, giving the "trembler" effect. Endcaps appear to be brass; the metal "leaves" , bow and stems almost look like vermeil but the piece is not marked sterling. Some spotting on back of one leaf and along the top front edge, otherwise very nice condition. This type of piece comes along very infrequently. Item: UP5-656 Price: $55.00 US |

Description: Pretty Blue Faux Moonstone and Rhinestone Pinwheel Brooch - Riveted design with all prong set stones. Layered pinwheel style has round a teardrop shaped medium blue faux glass moonstones and light sapphire blue rhinestones. Layered construction with middle part being domed. About 2 1/2" in diameter. A couple of the teardrop shaped stones have a tiny chip on the point end, so this goes for a bargain price. Item: UP12-648 Price: $22.50 US |
•••
|
Description: Unsigned Coro Pink Faux Moonstone/Rhinestone Pin - This is almost certainly an unsigned Coro. Large but "airy" looking because of the open spaces in the design, it measures an impressive 3 1/2" x 3". Some of the clears have a tinge of yellow to them but certainly to be expected of a legitimate 70+ year old piece. Potmetal setting. A lovely design. Item: UP8-650 Price: $59.50 US |

  |
Description: 1940's Basket of Flowers Brooch - Black enamel basket with goldtone and rhinestones supports a pink rhinestone flower with green enamel leaves and two blue enamel tulips. Blue enamel is more of a light blue than the more aqua tones that show on my monitor. Some enamel loss on the high points of the blue flowers, but otherwise very nice condition. 2 1/4" x 2 1/4" and utterly charming. Item: UP9-651 Price: $47.50 US |
•••
  |
Description: Huge Multi Topaz Rhinestone Floral Brooch - Much more sparkly in person than my picture would indicate, this 4 1/2" brooch is lovely and attention-getting. It has many of the attributes of a D&E but has the wrong type of clasp for that company. The floral head is done in three layers - notice the use of "beams" to attach layer one to two, and layer two to three. All stones are prong set. Center smoky topaz round is surrounded by a row of topaz rhinestone chain. Second layer is done with smoky topaz marquises alternating with topaz rounds, and third layer is more smoky topaz marquises set at an angle. The stem is accented with smoky topaz rounds and "skinny" navettes as well as topaz rounds. Very nice condition. Item: UP10-652 Price: $89.50 US |
•••
|
Description: Unsigned Coro Faux Moonstone, Enamel and Rhinestone Brooch - A well-loved design for Coro, I have seen these pieces signed and unsigned, and this is unsigned. Large dark blue glass moonstones are accented with lots of blue enameling and several clear rhinestones. All in excellent condition. 2 3/4" x 1 1/2". Item: UP9-634 Price: $39.50 US |
  |
•••
|
Description: Fuschia Faux Moonstone Floral with Enamel and Rhinestones - Probably Coro but unsigned. Two tone green enamel on the leaves is in excellent condition; faux moonstone berries or flowers have more variation in their adularesence than usual. One rhinestone may be a replacement but it is difficult to tell, as these are very uniform and quite small. 3 1/8" x 1 1/8'. Item: UP9-633 Price: $27.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Sabrina Stone Baroque Glass Pearl Brooch - This is a really pretty combination of rose pink rhinestones and round "Sabrina" glass cabochons around a center baroque style glass pearl. Goldtone setting, all but the pearl are prong set. Excellent condition - any green colors on the plating in the back view are a reflection and NOT verdigris or any damage. 2" in diameter and about 1/2" deep at largest point. Top photo is with flash, bottom is without. Color in person is somewhere in between. Item: UPRLS6-655 Price: $37.50 US |

Description: Butterfly Brooch in Chalk White, Cherry Red and Lapis Blue Rhinestones - If you like patriotic colors or are a butterfly collector looking for a piece to wear for the 4th of July, this may be the piece for you! Opaque stones give this a more casual look and this would be great with denim, but also fine on a suit jacket for work or attached to a hat for a jaunty look. Light goldtone setting, very good condition, with only a little yellowed glue on the edges of white stones to keep this from being considered excellent condition, and this is not seen unless you are quite close and looking for it. At 2 1/2" x 2 1/4" this is a nice sized piece, not too large and not too small. Item: UPRLS9-621 Price: $24.50 US |
•••
|
Description: "Flawed Emerald" Gumdrop Cabochon Brooch with Glass Pearls and Rhinestones - This piece is a real mystery. Designer quality with lots of attention to detail - large gumdrop cabs in dark green have swirled wisps of white inside - what is referred to as "flawed" (there is nothing wrong with them, that's just the name that is used.) White glass pearls in both round and dimpled ovals are surrounded with pave-set leaves and a sprinkling of clear navettes in two sizes around the perimeter. 2 1/2" x 2". Now, beside the whodunnit? aspect, the plating on the upper part of the back looks a little different. Aside from a little tiny bit of wear to two pearls I can't find anything, but the shape is slightly irregular and I am wondering if this met with an accident of some type? Yet I do not see anything that looks broken off. Much too pretty to just toss, so you get a bargain price. Item: UP6-604 Price: $35.00 US Sorry, SOLD! |

|
Description: Unsigned Schreiner? Brooch with Inverted Marquises and Round - This piece uses unfoiled Madeira topaz colored marquises, set with bottom faceted side up, in a graduated swirling motif that culminates in the center with a "bottoms up" multi-prong single round. Inner border is done with Colorado topaz baguette rhinestones, also prong set. The color is a dark honey; a beautiful, richly colored piece. Other than a tiny bit of metal discoloration?? above the clasp on one end I can find no flaws. Almost 3" x 2". Item: UP5-605 Price: $42.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |
  |

  |
Description: Clear Rhinestone Pinwheel Brooch - Layered construction, a variety of stone shapes, all prong set, and a built in pin stem. Sounds like D&E, right? I have not sent this in for verification, and this does not "feel" like a Juliana piece but then again, I have been known to be wrong. Whatever this is, it is nicely made and in very good condition, with only a tinge of yellowing/darkening. At 2" in diameter, this is plenty of zing on its own, but could also be paired with a smaller, similar clear brooch for a fashion statement look. The price is right! Take this home for many years of versatility. Item: UP9-612 Price: $22.00 US  |
•••
  |
Description: Small Jonquil Brooch - All prong set yellow rhinestones in a pinwhell design, riveted goldtone setting with harp-style clasp. Done in two layers, all round stones. 1 1/2" in diameter. Excellent condition. Item: UP10-611 Price: $17.50 US Sorry, Shoplifted from our Booth |
•••
  |
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 Sorry, SOLD! |
•••
  |
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 |
•••
  |
Description: Unsigned Miracle Dagger (Dirk) Brooch - Made in the UK (Scotland?), Miracle brand pieces reflect Scottish and Celtic designs. This brooch in the shape of a dagger has what I am assuming are glass agates with a center cabochon of "carnelian" surrounded by purple and green tooth shaped pieces, top has a mottled aqua ball. 2 1/4" by approximately 1 1/2", pewtery looking metal, quite heavy for its size. I can find no flaws. Item: UP3-526 Price: $24.00 US |
•••
|
Description: Pastel Rhinestone and Enamel Trembler Brooch - Floral themed brooch has a dragonfly "trembler" in the center. Beautiful shades of pink, lavender, yellow and aqua flowers, centered with corresponding pastel rhinestones, have bright green leaves. Goldtone setting, very 3-D and the trembler mechanism works well. 2 1/4" x 1 1/4" x 1/2" deep. A few fleabites to the pink enamel, otherwise great shape. Beautiful AND fun! What could be better! Item: UP9-574 Price: $49.50 US |
  |
•••
  |
Description: Sterling Retro 3-D Brooch with Wired Over Stones - Another lovely floral design from the 1940's but with wired over unfoiled topaz colored glass stones and clear rhinestone florets. A volute motif across the floral stems completes the design. Vermeil (gold over sterling) setting, 2 3/4" x 1 1/2" . Plating shows wear and spotting as is typical of these pieces, otherwise very good condition. Item: UP7-576 Price: $58.00 US |
•••
|
Description: Large Fuchsia Faux Moonstone Cab Floral Brooch - At 3 3/4", this is definitely a larger piece. Fuchsia cabs top brown enameled stems that are tied with a pave ribbon. Green enameled leaves are edged with more rhinestone pave. Upper and lower halves curve toward the ribbon tie. Two of the small rhinestones are replacements; minimal enamel chipping. Rhodium? plate. Made to look like Trifari and Coro pieces of this time period, and this may, indeed, be one of these two companies' production. Item: UP8-534 Price: $79.50 US |
  |
•••
|
Description: Purple and Clear Rhinestone Stylized Floral Brooch - Sparkling amethyst colored oval rhinestones are set in a 5-4-3-2-1 pyramidal design above a clear pave set foliage and stem design. Silverplated setting, all stones appear original and everything is in excellent condition. 2 1/2" x 1 1/4". Item: UP5-528 Price: $69.50 US |
  |
•••
|
Description: Multi Pastel Floral and Rhinestone Brooch - If you find these pieces charming, as I do, you will also find this one unusual, with the cluster bouquet in the center that I have not ever seen on any of these pieces. Whether the floral pieces are glass or plastic are unknown, but all of the single flowers (26 of them) have a clear rhinestone at the center, with additional small clears on the potmetal "latticework". About 2 1/4" in diameter, very nice shape, a couple of the small clears have darkened around the edges but that is to be expected of a genuine 70+ year old piece. Many collectors believe these are early Trifari (TKF) but could also be L/N, S in a Star, or other companies of that time period. Item: NP1-168 Price: $49.50 US |
  |
•••
  |
Description: Wonderful Potmetal Floral in Lavender/Clear - A highly unusual color combination for this type of piece; stones are in excellent shape. I would almost think it had been restoned but I can find no tangible proof. Almost 3 1/2" x 1 3/4". Marquises are prong set, the clears are all paste set. Striking looking on many colors, especially purples and black. If you are a floral brooch collector you will love this piece. Item: UP4-485 Price: $79.50 US  |
•••
|
Description: Potmetal Floral with Aqua and Clear Rhinestones - Exactly the same design as the brooch above but in aqua instead of lavender. (I always enjoy finding same design-different color pieces.) This piece is in very good condition except that much of the foiling has come off of the aqua marquises. This does not in any way detract from the piece but I have priced it accordingly. About 3 1/2" x 1 3/4". It would even be fun to purchase both and wear as a set! Item: UP4-573 Price: $59.50 US |
  |
•••
|
Description: Green Enamel and Rhinestone Floral Brooch - This could be considered a trembler brooch, I believe, as the blue baguette "stamens" are on a spring, however the spring is tight enough that there isn't much trembling going on. Clear rhinestones outline the three dimensional flower bud that is beautifully enameled in 1930's-1940's style. Over 3 1/2" x 1 3/4". Excellent with the greens that are currently popular in fashion, and probably unsigned Coro. Item: UP1-002 Price: $59.00 US |
  |
•••
  |
Description: Wisteria Brooch with Topaz Colored Rhinestones - Actually this fully three dimensional brooch uses unusual mottled marquises cabochons in shades of cream and beige with rich Madeira topaz rhinestones prong set throughout. Almost 5" long and 1 3/4" across. Surely a designer piece but no place for a signature. $125.00 Item: UP1-003 Price: $125.00 US |
•••
|
Description: Trembler Brooch with Three Heads - Tremblers are a favorite of mine and are not easy to find, particularly when the tremblers work well and there are more than one. This lovely floral uses emerald green and clear rhinestones and a medium green enamel. All the stones are very bright and clear but the enamel has signs of wear. Silvertone setting is quite shiny, edges of floral heads have been antiqued, which makes them "pop". 2 1/2" x 2". Item: UP1-477 Price: $99.50 US  |
|
•••
  |
Description: Potmetal Floral with Purple and Clear Rhinestones - What a lovely design! Deep purple ovals border each side of the stem, and a bow ties it all together at the bottom. 3 1/8" x 1 1/2". Excellent condition - one clear stones appears to be a replacement but the rest appear to be original. Item: UP5-484 Price: $74.50 US |
•••
|
Description: Brooch with Pearl Belly and Clear Pave - I am, by no means, an expert on Trifari pearl belly pieces (the ones I have seen in books often have the pearl set with small rhinestones); however, this is the correct type of glass pearl and the design, with pave set curling leaf tips, is certainly a typical Phillipe style motif. Regardless, it is a lovely piece and original as far as I know, and in excellent condition. 2 1/4" x 2" Item: UP3-292 Price: $32.50 US |
  |
•••
  |
Description: Clear Rhinestone Floral Brooch with Black Enameled Stems - I photographed this on black thinking the clear stones would show up better. Well, maybe not, but perhaps you can see the design. Two larger floral "heads" are made up of 7 clear dentelle cut rhinestones with tiny clears in between. Three smaller flowers are made up of small marquiese, while the 13 leaves are all pave set. The are all black enameled and the enameling is in excellent condition. Silvertone, about 2 1/2" in diameter. Item: UP5-198 Price: $45.00 US |
•••
|
Description: Three Dimensional Potmetal and Rhinestone Floral Brooch - Ingeniously made piece with top portion having a front and back that have been riveted together and small pistils? with red rhinestone tops coming up between them. Most of the piece has been pave set with small clears and the design is very lovely, with black enameling along petal "veins". 3" x 1 1/2"; rivets are secure but top part is not very tight any more; you may wish to tighten, but I will leave that to the next owner. Item: UP5-227 Price: $79.50 US |
  |
•••
  |
Description: Blue Moonstone and Red and Clear Rhinestone Floral - Top quality floral pin, done in goldtone and silvertone as in fine jewelry. Red rhinestones are ruby colored unfoiled ovals rather than siam (fire engine) red. 3" x 1 1/2". Plating is worn along edges and there is a small dark area possibly from a resoldered clasp end? otherwise in excellent condition. As a longtime Trifari enthusiast I feel this is probably Trifari, but as with most unsigned this is just conjecture and this has a unsigned price! Item: UP5-257 Price: $55.00 US |
•••
|
Description: Unsigned Floral Brooch in Clear Rhinestones and Glass Faux Pearls - This piece is heavy and well made, with great attention to detail in the design. Channel set square rhinestones make up the central leaf, while channel set baguettes make up the stems, and paste set pave make up the rest of the piece. There are even rhinestones on the pointed pieces surrounding the large pearl. The pearls are in excellent shape except for a few small knicks on the large pearl. About 3" x 2". I have recently seen Eisenberg Original pieces on Ebay that used this same type and size of pearl in an identical mannter. I don't make claims of "unsigned" this or that lightly, but as a longtime collector I feel pretty certain that this is Eisenberg. Item: UP5-307 Price: $129.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |

•••
  |
Description: Floral Brooch with Deep Blue Stones - This piece also uses lots of clear rhinestones and black enameling; blue stones are oval with two unfoiled and one foiled. It is very similar to a Trifari Philippe design for a pin (fur) clip from August of 1940, and this appears to have had the pin back replaced professionally and might have had a pin clip originally, which would have probably been where the Trifari mark was. I have also seen marked Trifari pieces that are also similar to both this and the August 1940 patent, but are not identical to either one. So even while the dimensions are exactly the same as the patent (2 5/8" x 2") this will remain a mystery. Item: UP9-382 Price: $69.50 US |
•••
|
Description: Unsigned Staret? Brooch in Deep Blue and Clear Rhinestones - I have seen this feather brooch before, both signed and unsigned, but the signed ones have always been Staret. This features almost cobalt colored fire polished marquises and lots of clear stone work. Two of the blue stones are replacements but they will be difficult to find except that they aren't fire polished stones. A sizeable 3 3/4" x 1 1/2". Potmetal setting. I have been told this is an Eisenberg design but I have no proof to back that up. Item: UP9-395 Price: $79.50 US |
  |
•••
|
Description: Huge Plume Pin in All Clear Rhinestones - Book piece, shown in one of Cherie Simmonds books, this was also done in colored stones with clears and faux moonstones with clears. Here is the classic all clear version. 3 7/8" x 2 1/4" at widesst points. Larger stones are dentelles (fancy cut) rounds, which the remaining stones all clear pave. Approximately 150 stones, all look to be original. As to be expected in a legitimate 70+year old piece, most of the stones have darkened mildly, and a couple are quite dark, but I don't find this to be offensive but adds to the charm of the piece. Item: UP9-535 Price: $95.00 US |

Description: 1930's Large Pink and Clear Rhinestone Stylized Floral Brooch - 3 1/8" x 2 1/2". This lovely piece came to me with previous "repairs" - badly done replacements. I have redone the baguettes with the correct sizes/types and removed most of the clears that were put in to replace original colored stones.There are still a few clear accent stones that are wrong replacements but I have been unable to remove them for fear of damaging the piece, but it is now very close to original colors. This is an incredible design and may be unmarked Eisenberg, well worth joining any vintage jewelry collection. Item: NP5-155 Price: $110.00 US Sorry, SOLD! |

  |
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 color combination for the faux moonstone collector. Item: UP10-117 Price: $37.50 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: Large Floral Triple Headed Brooch - - I have seen this same design signed Weiss, but this particular piece is unsigned. Done in light sapphire, dark sapphire, and Montana (navy) blue rhinestones and set in goldtone, this is extremely three dimensional and done by soldering metal circles together in back. This measures about 2 1/2" in diameter; the stones are extremely bright and sparkly. The only flaw I see is a solder repair done apparently a long time ago that seems very solid and in no way shows from the front. Beautiful piece. Item: UP8-394 Price: $69.50 US |

|
Description: Sugared "Hawaiian" Brooch - While this piece has some condition issues, it is a fun piece for casual wear and has "the look" that is hard to find. A few of the little cream colored sugared "balls" have been damaged (see picture) and the top cluster is missing some of the balls. Clasp is a little wobbly. Nonetheless this baby still has a lot of use left in it. 3 1/2" x 2". Item: UP9-333 Price: $19.50 US |

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. Item: UP6-201 Price: $87.50 US |

Description: Floral Brooch in Antique Silvertone with Blue and Clear Rhinestones - I have had this brooch over the years in multi pastels and in pink; one had enamel and one did not. This is the un-enameled version, using sapphire blue and clear rhinestones. The large blue ovals are unfoiled and are of excellent quality. The smaller ovals and rounds are foiled and show their age a little more, but all appear to be original and still have a lot of sparkle. 2 3/4" x 1 5/8". Lovely piece in very good to excellent condition. Item: UP2-562 Price: $69.50 US |

Description: Long Thin Floral with Pink and Blue Faux Moonstones, Clear Pave and Black Enamel - Done in a goldtone setting, this measures 4" x 2" at the widest point. The enamel is very slightly worn, certain commensurate with age. Circa 1940. Item: UP4-255 Price: $35.00 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: Swoboda? Brooch in Fall Colors - Marked simply with a three digit number (568) I believe this is a Swoboda piece and that the stones are genuine, probably agates. Pretty colors of tan, red-brown and green, set in goldtone. 2" x 1 3/4". Item: UP11-368 Price: $29.50 US |

Description: Clear and Topaz Rhinestone "Snowflake" Pin - Sparkling Brooch in round and square clear rhinestones and topaz colored round rhinestones. A single large center rhinestone is surrounded by a row of topaz stones, which is surrounded by a row of alternating square and round clears, and the outer row is alternating topaz and clear rounds. 2" in diameter, all paste set, excellent condition with one small clear that is yellowing slightly. Pretty and a true bargain at $18.50. Item: UP11-533 Price: $18.50 US |

Description: Crystal Bead Brooch - This uses light sapphire and lime green crystal beads, as well as a mottled bead in shades of blue and gold, all held in place with clear rhinestone headpins, handwired into a goldtone setting. About 1 3/4" in diameter but looks larger because of the dimensionality of the beading. Lovely color combination sure to look great with almost any pastel clothing. I have seen signed Hobe pieces almost identical to this. Item: UP7-364 Price: $37.50 US |

Description: Pin/Pendant with Faux Tortoiseshell - I have had this same design signed Florenza. Center cabochon is surrounded by small clear rhinestones and small white faux pearls. Dangle matches cabochon, with rhinestone rondelle and brass accent pieces. The loop holding the dangle may have been repaired but I can't tell for sure; if it has it is very well done and very secure. 3" x 1 5/8". Item: UP9-316 Price: $34.50 US |

Description: Cupcake Rivoli Brooch in Autumn Tones - Marguerita beads in golden topaz, Colorado topaz and olivine shades that seem to change depending on type of lighting, Each 3/4" bead is held in place by a clear rhinestone headpin, and are separated around the edges by clear aurora borealis bicone beads. Base is round but design is pentagonal. About 1 3/4" in diameter. A nice size for combining with other brooches in a grouping. Item: UP1-161 Price: $34.50 US |

Description: Large "Sun" Brooch with Bi-Colored Stone - Huge 26mm dogtooth set glass stone is citrine colored with a stripe of topaz thru the center. Stirated goldtone metal rays swirl away from the center. Quality piece, 2 3/8" in diameter, other than some tiny spotting this is in excellent condition. A wonderful statement piece for your lapel, and right in style with an upswing of yellow colored clothing on the fashion scene. Item: UP7-530 Price: $32.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Sapphire Blue and Clear Rhinestone Cleavage Pin - This long, thin brooch is perfect for going in the center of your favorite special occasion dress at the point of a v neckline. A row of channel set square blue stones is flanked by double rows of clear rhinestones. 2 3/4" x 5/8", slightly curved, potmetal setting. Extremely sparkly and in excellent condition. Item: UP8-532 Price: $47.50 US |

Description: Haskellesque Faux Duette Brooch - This intriguing piece is made to look like Haskell but is not; it also looks almost like a duette, but is a brooch. Double filigree back, cast metal pieces are pave set into graduated volute-motif sections that end in channel set baguettes. Glass pearls in center and at either end are held in place with rhinestone headpins. The rest of the brooch is bordered with bullet shaped transparent beads in black diamond that give a kind of ruffly look. Quality components - Robert? Jonne? Eugene? About 2 1/4" x 1". Very good condition with wear to the center pearls and a tiny bit of verdigris on the underside of the rhinestone headpins that I am reluctant to address due to the proximity of the pearls. Item: UP11-564 Price: $79.50 US |

Description: Triangular Brooch in Light Blue and Glass Pearls - This piece is made like Juliana but I have no matching pieces to substantiate this. Light sapphire glass leaves, blue opalescent and light blue and blue aurora borealis rhinestones are accented with creamy glass faux pearls. Large oval cabochons are just plain weird - they appear to be regular glass stones that have been painted white! Triangular sides measure 2 1/4". Item: UP2-176 Price: $37.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |
•••
|
Description: Gilt Brooch with Raspberry Colored Glass Stones - Though the heavy pronging on the large oval stones reminds me of early Eisenberg pieces, the other metal work doesn't. Two level construction is riveted in the center. 7 unfoiled raspberry oval glass stones are prong set; the remaining round stones, which appear more red, are not. Lovely floral design with patterned metal work. At 2 1/2" x 1 3/4" it is about the right size for a sash pin, but has a safety clasp instead of a c clasp. A mystery piece, but a lovely one. Item: UP1-340 Price: $79.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Red Clear Blue Kite Stone Brooch - Center red cabochon is surrounded by a single row of small clear rhinestones, and then a row of clear kite-shaped rhinestones are curved up to meet the top row of deep blue emerald cut rhinestones. Final outside row is small clear rhinestones. Heavy rhodium plate, original stones, designer quality, excellent condition. Item: UP3-035 Price: $97.50 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. Item: UP6-276 Price: $65.00 US  |

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: 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: Marbelized Plastic, Glass Pearl and Colored Rhinestone Brooch - The center cabochon on this piece did not test Bakelite so I am not certain what kind of plastic stone it is; there are also smaller cabs of the same type in the outer circle, which alternate with white glass pearls and pear cabochons that look like simulated amber. Smoky topaz rhinestones surround the center cabochon and smoky topaz and topaz rhinestones run along the outer edge. A really nice and fairly complex piece with lots of stones, certain to draw compliments. 2 1/4" in diameter and in excellent condition. A little more carmel-y colored in person than my picture would indicate. Item: UP9-441 Price: $34.50 US |

Description: Pinwheel Design Pin Pendant in Aqua and Clear Rhinestone - Rhodium plating in a two layer design. Aqua marquises and rounds intertwine with clear rounds and baguettes; pinwheel spokes terminate in a fleur de lis design. 2" x 1 3/4". Pretty on the aqua clothing that is gaining popularity this spring. Item: UP7-293 Price: $49.50 US |

Description: Wonderful Baby Blue Faux Moonstone Bow Pin - Probably a little lighter blue in person than what my monitor indicates, this uses graduated sizes of faux moonstone cabochons to fill the design, and then lots of tiny clears to border and highlight. Silvertone setting. I have replaced one tiny clear, the rest appear to be original, some have yellowed or greyed but it does not detract from the design. At 3 1/8" x 2 5/8", this is an attention getter. Item: UP3-561 Price: $79.50 US |

Description: Pave Set Bow Brooch - Heavy, quality piece with 3-D design and some cutwork. 2 3/8" x 1 5/8"; all paste set clear round rhinestones. This piece would be equally at home on a garment or affixed to a hat, purse, belt, etc. Instant glam for pennies. Item: UP2-446 Price: $34.50 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: 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: 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. Item: UP6-404 Price: $69.50 US (original only)  |
•••
|
Description: Unsigned Purple and Clear Rhinestone Bow Brooch - It is my feeling that this is probably Eisenberg. Absolutely wonderful piece; all purple stones are openbacked and pronged and only the two largest at each end of the bow ties are foiled. The clears appear to have several replacements. 3 1/2" x 2" and very 3-D (there are two loops on either side, which is somewhat difficult to see in the photo.) There is only ONE reason that this didn't jump into my personal collection, and the reason is is that I already have this one and don't need two. Buy it fast before I change my mind on that, too!

Description: Potmetal and Rhinestone Bow Pin - This eye-catching design is sure to please the bow collector, or anyone who appreciates beautiful design. Done in all clear rhinestones and set in a light-weight metal alloy that is unfamiliar to me, this uses clear marquises and ovals at the center, while the rest of the ties uses marquises and pear shapes. The entire piece is bordered with small clear rhinestones. Two small rounds are replacements but you will not be able to tell where they are. Greenish cast is not there in person but a by-product of photographing with an OTT-light! Excellent condition. Item: UP2-563 Price: $29.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Stylized Bow with Dentelles and Pave - This highly refractive piece came to us with some of the paste-set dentelles "refurbished" with chatons, so we have restored the incorrect ones with correct ones. Other than that just 1-2 small stones were missing which we have replaced with aged stones. Rhodium plating. I expected this to be a dress clip rather than a brooch but I can find no signs of conversion. 2 3/4" x 2 1/4". This is the same design as a known Eisenberg Original Sterling clip except that in the EO some of what large stones are ovals rather than rounds. Item: UP1-339 Price: $59.50 US |

Description: Czech-type Orange Bead Basket Brooch - I believe these would be considered lampworked or wound beads, in an orange, almost coral, color. As per usual for this type of piece, the beads are hand-sewn in place and attached with lined seed beads (probably silver, these have greyed). Base metal appears to be brass, and is slightly darker on the lower right side (see picture.) Other than that, excellent original condition, with clear rhinestones that are all the fire-polished type used during this time period for this type of piece. As a longtime basket collector this is the only piece I have ever had with an orange colorization, so I consider this pretty unusual. 2" x 1 3/8". Item: UP10-637 Price: $35.00 US |

Description: Potmetal Floral Basket Brooch Enamel and Rhinestone - Made to look like the Trifari baskets and florals of the 1940's, this vintage 1940's imitation is well done and interesting in its own right. Colors are a little darker and more muted in person, more of a burgundy than a fire engine red, blue is a little more navy and yellow is a little more golden. Small rhinestones are all original; enamel has some wear but is still in quite good shape. There are places where it looks like there should be rhinestones but are a "bump" in the metal, almost like a hobnail. I can't decide whether this is on purpose to simulate a rhinestone (when rhinestones were scarce during WWII) or whether they were meant to be "punched out" and rhinestone set and just weren't. About 2" x 1 1/2". Item: UP6-527 Price: $49.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |

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: Faux Glass Multi Color Moonstone Floral Basket Pin - Charming 1940's basket brooch with faux moonstone cabs in green, fuchsia and dark blue, with clear rhinestone and aqua, green and white enamel.

Description: Unsigned Coro Basket Pin with Blue Faux Moonstone Cabochons - Almost certainly Coro but no signature. Basket features moonstone cabs, clear rhinestones and dark blue enameling.

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.

Description: Rice Werner Chinese Waterboy Brooch - Though unsigned, this brooch is found on page 241 of Brunialti's American Costume Jewelry 1935-1950 and is identified as a Rice Werner design.

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: Ballerina Pin with Coral Ballotini Skirt - Ballerinas were popular in the 1940's and 1950's; many children took ballet lessons and ballerina pins were produced by companies of all levels from inexpensive to the highest quality (Boucher produced many beautiful ones.) This is unsigned but as you can see from the pictures these were detailed, even in places where the details would not be seen by the casual observer. Most pieces were rhinestone set; this is somewhat unusual with small coral colored plastic balls making up the skirt. The goldtone plating is worn under one ball and one or two balls I think are replacements (though the color difference you see in the photo are caused by the camera and are not visible in person). Otherwise in good shape. 1 1/2" x 1 3/8" x 3/4" deep. Item: UP7-504 Price: $22.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Bowling Pin Brooch Okay, I could have said bowling pin pin, but then you’d think I was repeating myself!! Shiny goldtone brooch in the shape of a bowling pin, outlined with rhinestones, and the bowling ball is "on the side". Bowling ball looks black in the picture and it is only by looking closely from different angles that you notice that it is a very dark blue. Almost looks like they used half of a marble. Fun piece Item: UP4-038 Price: $27.50 US |

Description: Old Glory Flag Pin - This piece apparently pre-dates the late 1950's as there are only 48 clear rhinestone "stars" on the blue enameled field. Remaining flag alternates clear rhinestone "white stripes" with red enameled stripes. Set in silvertone pot metal and flag is made with "waves" in it. 1 1/2" x 1 1/8".

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. Item: UP6-575 Price: $65.00 US |

Description: Left-Facing Potmetal Bird Brooch - Another popular bird from the past, this one has all clear rhinestones except for a red rhinestone eye (what looks like a thorn sticking out of the head is actually a rhinestone that has picked up a weird reflection.)

Small green/white swirled beads are hand-wired in a semi-ball shape in the center, flanked by two deep gold colored baroque glass pearls and centered in brass leaf findings. All wired into a pierced metal screen backing covered by a flat metal piece (see photo).

Description: Czech Type Multi Jeweltone Plume Pin - This came to me exactly this way, so I am assuming these stones are all original. (Often you find them with clear stones, which I think are repairs for colored stones that have fallen out.) 2 3/4" x 1 3/8. Item: UP11-347 Price: $17.50 US |

Description: Dangling Brooch with Dark Cream Glass Pearls and Brass Findings - This piece has five dangling chains that graduate to the center, each full of glass pearls with brass endcaps over the top, like bunches of grapes. This piece measures 2 1/2" across and dangles, at the longest point, to 4". Most of the brass has aged and we have removed some verdigris from the longest section. Very heavy piece - you will want to wear this on something substantial. This uses the same brass endcaps that I have found on other early Haskell pieces, and I feel fairly confident that this is an MH piece. Item: UP11-385 Price: $89.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |

These beads are held in place by what appears to be silver lined seed beads; lining has darkened with time, giving the beads a grey appearance. Slight wear marks on back.

Description: Czech Type Multi Cabochon Brooch - Done in faux lapis, faux coral, faux jade and faux turquoise with a glass pearl in the center, this slightly domed circular brooch's brass setting has darkened with time. 2" in diameter makes it a nice wearable size for almost any taste. Color without glitz makes it wearable for almost any occasion. A few of the coral balls are replacements, otherwise excellent original condition. Item: NP2-141 Price: $24.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Dangle Brooch with Pastel "Melon" stones - This fun and funky brooch attracts attention wherever it goes! Back side embossed pattern looks like the work of S in a Star (Fred Gray Corp.) or other manufacturers that did similar work but no marking that I can find. The melon stones have a clear rhinestone at the center of each and are done in pink, lavender and sky blue, with matching shades of enamel applied throughout the piece. 3 1/2" x 2 1/4"; unusual to find in excellent condition with all original dangles intact. Item: NP2-142 Price: $39.50 US |

Description: Intense Aqua Glass and Pave Rhinestone Brooch - This is actually quite small (1 3/4" x 3/4"), but in this case nice things come in small packages! These aqua stones are very clean in person, but I don't believe they are replacements. A few clears were missing and I have replaced them with matching vintage clears. Really pretty with typical cut out design style of the period. Item: NP3-145 Price: $24.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |

A little of the filigree appears silver, either from wear or perhaps not being gilded initially. Floral motif; about 2" in diameter. Item: NP4-0004 Price: $35.00 US |

Description: Huge1930's Brooch with Large Green Oval Cabochons - These stones are definitely a dark emerald green in person and in excellent condition. Lots of clear rhinestones go around the edges in rows and were all there except for one that I have replaced. Silvertone potmetal, 3 3/4" x 2" and has quite substantial heft. Great on a blazer, jacket or coat, or even to dress up an evening bag. Item: NP4-102 Price: $32.50 US |

Description: Large Brooch with Multi Colored Rhinestones and Clear Rose-cut stones - 3" wide and 1 3/4" tall. Looks like a sash pin but clasp mechanism indicates a later piece. This may have started as a goldtone plated piece, but most of the plating has worn off. Nonetheless, this is a very wearable piece. The oval stones are unfoiled while the rounds are foiled. A lot of bang for the buck. Item: NP3-068 Price: $24.50 US |

Description: Large Dark Blue Czech Type Unfoiled Glass Brooch - Lovely heavily pronged unfoiled oval glass stones are set in silvertone and accented with small montana (navy) blue rhinestones. Quality pinback, well-made piece. Unusually large for this type of piece - 3 1/8" by not quite 1 1/2". Not old enough to be a sash pin. Beautiful piece in excellent condition. Item: NP5-110 Price: $69.50 US |
