Austrian
Autumn Floral Spray with Topaz, Peridot and Aurora Borealis Rhinestones
You'll fall in love with this shimmering special from Austria. The stones are in lighter fall colors, light topaz, light peridot chatons and champagne teadrops colors along with different colors of AB specialty stones, flashing rosy fire from the very interior with cooler green & topaz two-tone auroras flanking. You'll not find such a design elsewhere, with the look of many layers, swoops and swirls of blooming vines going gold in the long days of sunlight! You'll want to evoke the harvest Goddess and wear this the rest of the summer and all through fall. The 3 1/8" tall x 2 1/8" wide brooch is larger than the average, and is marked "Made Austria" on an oval plate in back. The prong set stones and golden plating are all in Excellent condition. $48 |

Avon Book
Piece Coral Enamel Paisley Earrings
For pierced ears. Featured on page 140 of Judith Miller's COSTUME JEWELRY, these openwork gold tone paisley motif earrings are collectible and will look gorgeous on, with the three shades of pink and coral enamel to complement practically any complexion. These 80's delights are decorated with golden enamel and beading around the pinks and corals. The earrings at 1 1/2 by nearly 1" are substantial and surprisingly heavy for their size, an example of some of Avon's finest. Signed (c)AVON in back and equipped with studs for pierced ears, the jewels are in Excellent, clean condition; in fact, I doubt they've ever been worn. $18 |

Beautiful
1976 'Romanesque' AVON Silvertone Filigree Cross One of the most popular and beloved pieces of Avon jewelry, my mother had one of these, and I have my own and wear it occasionally. Beautiful multi-colored glass navette cabs imitate different colors of gemstones--faux lapis, jade, turquoise and coral. The round center stone imitates hematite very effectively. The setting is a remarkable antiqued beaded filigree openwork which includes heart-shaped motifs. Well made with a good weight, the dimensions of the cross is 3" long x 2" wide, and is suspended from a textured 23 1/2" textured link chain with spring-ring clasp. Signed Avon in back. Excellent condition. $24 |

Berberi, Edgar~ A master of epoxy enamel jewelry, beginning for about 1980 to the late 1990's. Since then he has concentrated his artistic drive in other areas and has not created any more jewelry lines. In my opinion, Berberi jewelry is still inexpensive enough to be a great investment for those who love to spend their money and have it, too! |

Berberi
1980's Colorful Epoxy Enamel Clown Earrings
Not only are these classic Berberi, but reflect the enamel styles of the 1980's to the zenith. Six colors on white in a cloisonné style golden setting, these jewels make for bright, joyful fun. For pierced ears, these dangle 2 1/8"--not counting the earwires. One earring still has the Berberi sticker, which is his earliest 'mark.' Excellent condition. $28 |

Les Bernard The former Vogue jewelry company, in business since 1938, became Les Bernard in 1963. See Ann Pitman's section on Les Bernard jewelry in her book INSIDE THE JEWELRY BOX, first volume. Jewelry is high in quality, and offered many imaginitive designs throughout the 1960's. This jewelry house closed in 1996. |

Les Bernard
Fabulous Dragon Pendant Another 1960's impressive and dramatic beauty, absolutely exclusive to that era, a multi-ethnic gold tone design, complete with motif of four incredible dragons with whirling tails, ancient coin dangles, and carved faux jade. The pendant is 4 3/4" tall x 2 5/8" wide and hangs on a 20" Singapore style chain. Very Good to Excellent condition. Signed on the back of the pendant on a round raised oval LES BERNARD INC. So many of these fabulous large 1960's pieces came with paper hand tags, and signed pieces are especially hard to find, so better buy while it's still possible! $95 |

Bonetto This company made beautiful ladies' watches and watch pins during the 1980's. I cannot find anything else about them. Anyone with info on whether the company is still in existence, please email. Thanks! |

1980's Ravishing Lady Bonetto Watch Pin In Original Box Absolutely the loveliest lady watch pin I've seen by Bonetto. Her bisque face is hand painted; one eye peeks sweetly from beneath her jaunty sparkly cloth hat, which is laced with rhinestone chain. Further decorated with a pearly heart, carved shell roses, faux pearls, long rhinestone navettes and a large rivoli, plus goldstone leaves and flowers, she strikes an elegant impression. The silvertone watch with diamond-like digits on the face seems like an afterthought, but it runs perfectly with a brand new battery. This irreplaceable jewel totals 3 1/2" tall x 2 1/2" wide. The watch by itself is 7/8" in diameter. The clear Lucite top of the original box has a few scratches, but otherwise the watch and the lady are still Like New on original card in box with the old warrantee card! $65 |

BSK
Champagne Rhinestones and Faux Turquoise Floral Brooch Set
Did you realize that these lovely BSK rhinestone jewels in top condition are harder to find than Miriam Haskell jewelry? BSK prices are rising, and probably will never be this affordable again. In this design, the flower petals have unusual shapes; it's almost as if the flower wants to be a Maltese cross! The champagne rhinestones are wonderfully clear and sparkly, much more so than the scan could convey. The center stone is a big 15MM and is just gorgeous in it's coronet setting. The gold tone openwork is just studded with chatons in half prong settings along with tiny turquoise beads. The brooch measures 2 1/8"; the matching clip back earrings in round swirl designs are 1" . Everything is in Excellent condition to make a thrilling gift or elegant day to evening wear! Enjoy for $52. |

Cathe ~ A rare signature, Cathe made jewelry in the 1960's through home party plans. |
|||
|
Dazzling Vintage Cathe Green Blue Peacock Rhinestone Brooch Pin A rare signature, Cathe made jewelry during the 1960's when outrageous rhinestone jewelry spilled over from the 1950's to set ablaze everything from evening dresses to lounging pajamas. Some of their jewels are beauties, like this one--certainly up with the best designers in quality, style and outrageousness. This big spray is jumbled with riveted layers of cool colored yet fiery stones including the aurora borealis peacock center stone and smaller AB stones bursting away from the center. Other rhinestones are emerald green, frosty blue, and midnight blue all prong set in serrated cups, among golden tendrils and vines. Also in the center are three dark periwinkle blue shining cabs in serrated cups; the color is very unusual and gives the pin that additional magic that makes it a great costume jewel. This pin is 3 1/2" wide x 2" tall and is a wonderful example of glitzy era jewelry! Signed Cathe on the pin back. Excellent condition. $68 |
