Pretty
Sterling Vermeil Topaz Glass Pin, One-Stone Wonder!
This Retro Modern sterling silver vermeil pin is sun-gold pretty. The ribbon curls point this way and that, yet still form a stylish symmetry. A single big faceted topaz glass jewel is held in big prongs at the center, openback and unfoiled. Beautiful! Marked only Sterling on the back, this little beauty, at 1 7/8" x 1 1/4", is also chunky, standing nearly an inch from the pinstem, mainly due to the thickness of the topaz glass. Condition is very good, with mainly intact vermeil in front, though it's worn away in back. Stone is flashy and without cracks or chips. Enjoy this one! $38

Art Deco Plastic and Chrome Stylized Bow BroochFrom early last century comes this remarkable brooch, streamlined and styled with the flapper in mind. I believe the vintage plastic to be celluloid, but it could be Galalith; ; a smell tests reveals only a simichrome smell, which has been used to polish the piece. Black & red look sassy together along with the polished chrome applied to the plastic. Back offers open C-clasp which is part of the brooch, not glued on. The brooch is 2 1/2" wide and in Very Good condition, with no fading of color at all. An Art Deco bow at a great price! $45

Medieval Look Maltese Cross Carnelian & Jade GlassHere's a great, unusual brooch in pewter openwork, which has the look of old sterling. A large central piece of glass that looks like genuine carnelian is set openback in half prongs accented by jade glass openback boat shapes at each of the four stations and accented by bright emerald green rhinestones. Is this an unsigned Miracle? Seems more like a Medieval Revival piece. Circa date is 1955. The 2" brooch is heavy for its size and will make a very striking statement on a sweater or with a scarf. Excellent condition. $52

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 |

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 swirled 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 or sash pin in Excellent condition. $75

No one else has this graceful pin. I've searched
high and low, and am convinced this jewel is a true rarity. This is a 1950's

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
