Antique Hand Painted Violets Pin
Most of these precious pieces were once warm gifts from artists to their friends. Many of the artists were women like you and I using patterns that could be purchased or found in the craft publications of the day. The type of flower was meant to convey a particular message--in the case of violets, faithfulness. This is 1 5/8" oval all hand painted painted porcelain showing a deluge of violets and greenery over a glazes of yellow and mint green. A swirl of golden paint frames the edges and appears partially in front on one side. The gilded prong setting is equipped with an open C-clasp. Overall very good condition. Enjoy this violet delight! $58 |

Pave Diamante doesn't always scan well, but, rest assured, there is no yellow and the rhinestones are still sparkling!

Lovely
& Large 1930s Art Deco Pave Crystal Brooch
Sparkling diamante pastes are set within this classic beaded pot metal setting. The setting is openwork and depicts floral arrangements with chatons and baguettes lining the sides in stations. The pot metal is still bright, perhaps silver plated. Though some stones are getting dull with age, the overall look is sparkly, despite the uncooperative scans. This big girl is 3 1/4" wide x 1 1/2" tall. Very Good + condition. These beauties of the 1930s are rapidly disappearing. Buy today for $78. |

Wonderful
Antique Etruscan Style Sash Brooch
This unusual beauty is between the categories of bar pin and sash pin. The style is almost modern, with textured golden base and a raised bow shaped platform decorated with granulation and slender line decoration. Two bezel set swirly green glass stones accent the center. The brooch clasps with an open C-clasp. The jewel is 3 1/2" long, 7/8" wide, and would look wonderful by itself pointing to the décolletage, or just under the collar, perhaps with a cameo beneath, or another smaller round or oval pin--that's the way the ladies wore such pins 100 years ago. A lovely late 19th century brooch, in Excellent condition. $75

Truart Sterling Silver Penguin in Graduation Cap This chubby little fella has certainly earned that degree, don't you think? He certainly doesn't look like the other kids and doesn't wear the most stylish clothes, but he's knocked himself out to please you. Will you take him home? AT 3 1/8" tall he's larger than usual, but his reputation is sterling. Marked Truart Sterling on a little paint palate in back, this brooch is in Very Good condition, with perfect sterling with the usual spots and crevices of tarnish. Enjoy! $55

Adorable, Lively Vintage Pony Brooch Rare. He's doing what ponies love, prancing wild in a flower-strewn meadow of yellow enameled flowers with green leaves and faux pearls. Decked out with rhinestones in him mane and tail, he holds in his teeth a pink enameled jeweled rose for his lady. He deserves to be worn, and it breaks my heart to have to part with him. At 3 1/4" tall and 2 1/2" at the widest, he's a big boy from the early 1950s, around the time Coro was making their pretty horses. My friends insist this brooch is a lost Coro, but unsigned. He's high quality with good heft, made from thick cast metal finished with golden plating. The near-Excellent condition is remarkable--I could not find any wear in the plating on the front, and on the back, only a bit along the edges. Rhinestones are bright and faux pearls are faultless. You (and I) may never find another like him. $125

Fabulous
Sterling Silver L.S. Co. Art Deco Brooch
Not a good picture (there is no green on any of the metal), but still, this brooch is a scarce and wondrous design, back from the times when the art deco linear design lines were evolving into the spare nosegays of retro modern. In most of these old pins, like this one, the prong set stones are unfoiled and absolutely brilliant. In this one, the stones are peridot green. Only the open buds and their stems have vermeil coating; this is deliberate to the design, since gold and silver together in one jewel has been stylish off and on through the years. The brooch is a big one at 3" x 2 7/8". Very Good condition, with bits of tarnish here and there. $68
