INCREDIBLE VICTORIAN MYSTERY CAMEO BRACELET In process of looking for information about dating, the subjects or mythical goddesses, and the unusual materials.    The cameos are  finely worked repousse,  with much detail.  The figures are coppery in appearance but have actually been silvered on top of copper and then  darkened to a bronzy brown in the background and polished lightly on the figures to bring out the detail.   All of the figures are women and thought, perhaps to be Muses of Greek Mythology, though they are unidentified.  The top edge of the  raised oval frames, plated gold tone,  are hand engraved top, bottom and on the two sides of the rim.   The cameo plaques are set on fitted  natural Mother of Pearl, not seen from the front side.  One of the mother-of-pearl plaques had a chip out of the edge and has a hairline fracture (stable) about 1 inch long.   The chip has been filled and painted over with iridescent paint, see  repair .     The plaques are held in place by tiny tabs of metal punched from the sides of the frame.   The BRACELET is about 7 1/2 inches long,  1 1/4 inches at the widest cameo and 1 1/8 inch at the smallest, and about 1/8 inch thick.  DESCRIPTION OF THE CAMEOS, left to right: 1.  Female, seen from the rear, with head turned sideways.  Flowing clothing.  The hair appears to be pulled back to the nape of the neck.  She carries a sieve of some sort. 2.  Female figure, seated on a natural shape outcropping, one breast exposed from her flowing clothing.  She has the small butterfly wings commonly associated with Psyche.   A portion of an arrow shaft with feathers rests across her lap and ends near her hip. 3.  Female figure, seated on a bench, sculpting a male bust on pedestal.  Her hair appears to be held by a fillet, hair arranged on the crown of the head and a tied braid down her back.   An odd floral arrangement rests against the pedestal.  4.  Female figure, breasts exposed, standing and pouring water from a ewer into a bowl held in her left hand.  An eagle, standing on a small pedestal, wings slightly open, looks upward at the bowl.   Her hair appears to be Faustina style. 5.  Female figure, breasts exposed and pubis almost visible, she holds a long spear, the point is seen above her left shoulder.   The wings may be hers but look more like  an eagle on her should as there appears to  be a bird head seen near her cheek.  Her shield is seen next to her leg and in profile shows a male gorgon head.   At her booted feet is a soldier's decapitated head.  6.  Female figure, one breast exposed.  She is turned away from a pedestal on which rests a bowl and you can see the head of a bird, with beak almost immersed in the bowl.  Her right hand holds an ewer.   7.  Female figure, flowing clothing tied below the waist.  She is seated and has her hand on an urn.  This is the only cameo  which was silvered.  The figure is silvery, with the copper showing through.     8.  Female figure, breast showing, head forward, chin in palm, obviously in thought.  Double bracelet is seen on the upper left arm. The clasp on the bracelet looks Victorian.  The use of base metals could indicate that it is late Victorian and it could be that the cameos are "stamped", however, that is as yet undetermined. Price:$288.00      Condition: As described        LZL     Order Item#U/V50638

ANTIQUE DIRK, HORN HANDLE Perhaps Victorian, it is hard to judge the age of this little beauty.  The dark area in the blade is inlaid horn and the handle is horn.  On the back side, one of the points of the horn has a small flake off the tip ... it is not seen from the front.   The clasp is applied and is a C clasp leading me to believe this could be from as late as the 1930s.  Hand engraved, vintage estate jewelry in very good condition, 2 5/8 inch long.end.

PERFECT FILIGREE WIREWORK PENDANT Splendid PENDANT in top, excellent condition.   Each of the two sections has a narrow frame enclosing very finely hand worked filigree wire; and each section has a wired rosette of tiny natural pearls held in place by three tiny gold "stations".   There are six hand worked chain dangles, each one containing 3 additional natural pearls; and a hand worked wire bail is at the top.    The gemstones are real, synthetic, made in the lab rubies.   14K yellow gold, tested and guaranteed.      Hung from a 17 inch 14K yellow gold chain, marked.   Price:$378.00    Condition: Excellent     BEA   Order Item# V/F60613

HAND PAINTED PORCELAIN PENDANT Lovely, hand painted on porcelain PENDANT.   There is a lot of detail, pleasant colors and nice facial features.  The frame is gold plated.  There is some spotting of the plating on the back side, a little on the right edge of the frame, and, on the front, a little just at the inside edge of the scallops between 2:00 and 3:30.   You will note that the original brooch pin mechanism has been removed and soft solder used to convert to a pendant.    Circa is unknown, I am guessing about 1920 because the bow is a little Nouveau, with three loops and both ribbon ends on one side.  Vintage estate jewelry in very good condition. 2 1/2 inches, 16 inch chain.     Price:$238.00     Condition:  Very good, see description      BL     Order Item#V/U60223

SUPERB CZECH CHOKER, LARGE TOPAZ COLOR Perhaps late Victorian or Czech, each rectangular cushion shape, faceted topaz color, unfoiled stone is firmly set in a metal collet with a stamped 'old' gold tone link.  The clasp is very clever, a solid rod that slides down into a split rod. The necklace is small, 12 3/4 inches.  There are a few very minor scratches on a few of the stones; I would be happy to rearrange the necklace so that these are in the back, but in truth, they are hardly seen as it is.  Antique costume jewelry.

VICTORIAN ~ PIQUÉ INLAID in HORN The charming design, of sterling silver and Mother of Pearl, is inlaid in an oval disc of natural horn.   Each individual piece is placed in a cavity, cut by hand in the horn.   Victorian, the pin stem extends just slightly beyond the simple "C" clasp, dating it to a probably era of 1880-1890.   The frame tests 14K, yellow gold.   1 1/4 inches wide.   One small, five petal flower of Mother of Pearl is missing two of the petals, otherwise the piqué is in excellent condition.   The surface of the horn is lightly scuffed from normal wear and it's advanced age.  Piqué work is not easily available, and this one is well priced for a collection.   Price:$138.00     Condition: see description      LA      Order Item# V41004
