ART DECO JADEITE AND ENAMEL NECKLACE, CIRCA 1920-30 Superb NECKLACE in truly excellent condition.
The 40mm x 20 mm rectangular pendant is a pleasant, evenly
color green jadeite, carved and pierced in floral design with a
very Deco style 14K bail attaching to a 17 mm round carved and
pierced Jadeite, prong set on a 14K yellow gold
frame. The Deco checkerboard side pieces are glass enamel on
gold. The chain is 14K yellow gold spaced with 5 mm jadeite
beads on each side. The jade is natural and undyed. Original
clasp apparently abandoned in favor of an easier to manipulate hook and
eye, silver tone base metal. Total length is 18 inches; the
medallion and pendant fall 2 1/2 inches from the chain
attachments. An appraisal dated April 1987 indicates a retail
appraisal at that time of $1675. (Good gosh, $1675
adjusted for inflation is a shocking $3439.) Appraisal criteria
has adjusted since then, and Sparklz estimates current
replacement value at $2400

VICTORIAN VULCANITE EARRINGS CROSS shape with a fully dimensional rod, bisected by a 3/4
round athwart the center. The single dangling bead is 5
mm. The ear wires test as 14K. 19mm (3/4 inch) wide and
about 1 1/4 inch long including the wires. Vulcanite is a natural
rubber made hard by the use of sulfur. Sometimes thought of as
mourning jewelry, black jewelry, including natural jet, bog oak, pressed
horn and vulcanite, was immensely popular from about 1860 to about
1890. |

VICTORIAN BROOCH Made in sections and hinged and liberally set with pretty cultured
pearls. The narrow antiqued gold tone filigree metal is mil
grained on the top edge and that is an indication that this is perhaps of
the Edwardian era. The large black oval glass plaque in the center
section is faceted around the edge, and the black drop at the bottom is an
oval, flat cabochon. Antique estate jewelry in excellent
condition, about 3 inches.

BREATHTAKING CLIP BY DE ROSA ... IF ONLY IT WERE PERFECT ~ STILL WONDERFUL Still desirable, still wearable, still collectible and still as
eye catching as ever. The raised clusters of red flowers draw the
eyes so that the almost complete loss of plating on the left
leaf and a small section of the right leaf are not particularly
noticeable. Large clip, 4 inches. Vintage costume
jewelry. If you don't agree, return it for full
refund. |
 |
SWEET NOUVEAU ENAMEL PIN ~ FALL LEAF MOTIF Woven Basse-Taille enamel 'ribbon',
transparent baby-blue and white glass over a repeating pattern
stamped into the metal creates a satiny appearance. The shield
contains a multli-color fall leaf. Marked sterling with the
manufacturer's initials RM. Vintage costume jewelry
in excellent condition, 1 1/2 inches, circa
1920. |
 |
UNUSUAL HINGED & ENAMELED FILIGREE BROOCH Four inches long, the brooch is hinged in sections. Set with six,
unfoiled, amethyst color, faceted glass stones and two amethyst color
rhinestones. Embellished with turquoise color enamel and small
emerald color rhinestones. Pot metal filigree lightly coated with
gold plating, shows a little wear to the plating on some
prongs. Vintage costume jewelry, circa 1940s, in very good
condition. |

VERY SMALL ~ FOR THE PETITE VICTORIAN MIXED METAL BRACELET Circa 1890, hinged bangle BRACELET. Gold tone metal, beaded edge
& across the top is fine wire scroll work, with applied 14K
rose gold accents. Antique jewelry, Measurement across
the center of the oval is 2 1/8 inch, Inside circumference is 6 inches and
it will fit a wrist that is 5 3/4 inches or less. Width is
9/16 (just over 1/2 inch). Box clasp and safety chain. Truly
excellent condition, undoubtedly because owners subsequent to the original
were not small enough to wear it, and perhaps the original owner didn't
wear it either. |

14K WHITE GOLD ART DECO FILIGREE RING, OVER 1/2 CARAT, SIZE SMALL 14K white gold, vintage filigree ring CIRCA 1920. Excellent
condition, set with a single diamond, Old European cut, very sparkly and
white. The ring size is 3.5. It appears that the shank had
previously been sized smaller, so the ring can probably be sized
larger, one or two sizes or perhaps 3. Estimated retail
replacement $1960.00. |

***BARGAIN BAZAAR *** VICTORIAN CHARM BRACELET The 7 1/4 inch gold color chain is half "engraved" and half shiny

a case or bag, one is a book with engraved house, shore & boat within
a circle and additional engraving around the edges and the back side is
engraved with initials P I M. The third piece is round with scallop
edged, engraved on both sides and is meant to be a locket, I
believe. Antique jewelry in very good condition.

NEO-RENAISSANCE AUSTRIAN ENAMEL BRACELET A BEAUTY, each gold washed filigree link is elaborately enameled in
royal blue and white and set with a faceted, square sapphire blue
stone. The corners are set with tiny cultured pearls, and the jump
rings between links are finished with a rosette. Hidden box style
clasp. The glass enamel is in good shape; the sapphire color stones
show light wear but are more quite acceptable; the pearls re
replacements for the original half pearls.. Antique
bracelet, 7 inches long by 3 inches wide, probably early 20th century,
marked Vaden Austria, which translates, I believe to, Baden,
Austria. |

SOME OF THE MOST INTERESTING JEWELRY IS THAT .... ...which has been married together in bits and pieces. This
charming bracelet is an interesting mix, most probably with interesting
stories if we only knew them. The jump ring is gold filled. On
each side of it is a Victorian style square fitting believed to be
gold filled. The double chain itself appears to be base
metal. To the right of the clasp is a charm, set with clear
& red glass stones, which looks like a locket or pocket watch but
does not open. It appears to be gold plated and is fixed in
place. To the right of that one is a filigree imitating a
seal. To the left of the clasp is an opening piece with an en cameo
Roman figure. While it opens, there is no place for a picture,
though it may have been meant to hold a lock of hair. To the left of
it is an oval, engraved locket with area for pictures, and it is believed
to be gold filled. The final piece, the textured square at the top,
is a former slide, and it is fixed in position. Several tests
indicate it to be 10K. This bracelet measures 8 inches
and will fit a slightly larger wrist, or some links could be removed
to make it smaller. The charms tend to slide together when
worn. These could be fixed in place as well. or perhaps added
to another existing bracelet. Antique pieces, probably from
near the Victorian era. |
