Back Signature Detail Detail Another View	1960's Huge Segmented Hollycraft Ethnic Pectoral Necklace We have for you an exceptional example of classic 1960's costume jewels with this creation by Hollycraft. The necklace looks so much better in person than in the scans! The pendant clasps at 22 1/2" but has a pendant drop with extra an extra 6" in length, dropping in four articulated tiers. The top tier, not counting the small connecting pieces, is 3 1/2" wide at the top. The antiqued swirled and beaded gold tone metal open work is accented with oval glass moonstone cabochons; the contrast is breathtaking. The necklace is signed HOLLYCRAFT in block letters in a cartouche in back of the first segment. The necklace is in excellent, clean condition from chain to the lowest pendant; it is absolutely striking, bold & beautiful. $125

Beads Detail Detail	Vintage Japan 8-Strand Beaded Spring Goddess Necklace This is the necklace for the Goddess of spring. with tidings of sunny life, flowing with the pale green of new shoots and the yellow of spring buds. Evoke her power and beauty this season in this big 8-strand plastic & glass bead necklace. Yellow and green plastic beads with baroque and smooth faux pearls are compliments to oversized glass art beads, sparkling with richness. Some of these are huge--the bumpy pineapple glass beads are 1 1/4" long. The striped green & white beads are like candy, and the teal carnival glass baubles gleam. The necklace hangs beautifully, with no stiffness. The terminals and bead caps are silvertone. Necklace clasps at a maximum of 17" but you can tighten it to wear as a choker. Depending on how tightly you wear the necklace, the bib width descends 3 to 5 inches. J hook clasp is marked Japan. Condition is Very Good +, with the usual darkening at the ends where the brass findings always tarnish with age. $68

Reverse	Vintage Sarah Coventry Crusader Cross Pendant What a lovely gift this cross pendant would make. It is not only stylish but also beautiful, with a silvertone--possibly rhodium plated--filigree similar to the delicate platinum or white gold Edwardian filigree from the turn of the century. In cups with decorated edges, white faux pearl cabochons and purple glass cab in the middle make a glowing combination with a clean & fresh look. Hanging from the 21" chain, the cross is 3 1/3" tall x 2 1/4" wide with a good thickness. Marked on the back (c)SARAHCOV. Excellent, like new condition. $32

Another view of figures Complete Necklace Reverse	Kenneth Lane KJL Asian Balinese Dancers Pagoda Necklace Have you been waiting for just this necklace? Kenneth Lane makes great jewelry, but I love pendants like this for their exotic character and slimming vertical lines. Because of the lobster clasp this piece is dated to at least the 1970's but may be a 1990's QVC piece. Two bejeweled Balinese dancers, a man and a woman, cavort from gold tone dangles hanging from the central pendant, a gold tone pagoda delightfully shaped and textured. The faces of the dancers are clear crystal rhinestones, and their clothing is studded with multicolor stones. From the 25" necklace chain, the total pendant drop, including bail, is 6 1/2" and can be detached from the necklace to be worn as a brooch. Signed (c)KJL in two places, on the oval hang tag and on the back of the Pagoda, the necklace is in Excellent condition. $68

	Quality Steel Grey and White Big Glass Faux Pearls This double strand necklace is definitely a designer piece but left unsigned. Perhaps it came with a paper hang tag. I would guess Les Bernard or Erwin Pearls, if you collect either you will know what I mean. This is a very heavy, quality necklace that clasps at about 16 3/4" with round & horseshoe clasps in silvertone. The gray glass pearls have a metallic look, almost like dark steel or gunmetal. All pearls are knotted between strands. The off white pearls are quite large, about 5/8" in diameter. The lower strand is 19", a bit longer than the gray strand so that it hangs down giving much more length. Perhaps these elegant beauties will dip into your cleavage and drive him crazy! Excellent condition. $48

	50's Art Moderne Pastel Plastic Bead Necklace This unusual, beautiful necklace looks like something W. Germany would make, but the spring ring clasp is unsigned. A glorious array of large, lentil or flying saucer-shaped pastel beads in two sizes-- adorn this necklace, ending with round beads in several colors. The largest beads are 1" in diameter, and all the beads except the white ones are fashioned from a hard but textured plastic. The white beads are a smooth, seamless, hard plastic. Total length is a bit over 20". Excellent condition. $36

Necklace Detail	Art Deco Revival Yellow Bead Necklace Circa 1970. It's hard to tell the difference between this striking necklace and early plastic art deco bead jewelry, but this a 1970s revival piece. The largest Lucite thermoset beads are a bit more than 1 1/8" long and have a yellow and white geometric design. The remaining white and yellow beads are strung in graduated sizes, spaced by white lentil shaped beads and leading to a hidden barrel clasp. This necklace clasps at 20" and is in excellent, clean condition. $28

Detail Detail 2 Another View Reverse	Gold Plated Cleopatra Necklace with Multicolor Rhinestones. If you like attention grabbing costume jewelry, you'll love this big & bold necklace. It has the construction, style and weight of a designer piece, but there's no signature--probably sold with a hang tag sometime during the 1980's. Our metal tests have indicated 14k gold plating. The centerpiece offers textured links centered with rhinestones--pairs of black stones with crystal rhinestone accents on top and multicolored stones in the lower parts of each link. The chain is a smaller modification of the centerpiece style, with pairs of multicolored stones on each link. The necklace is 1 1/2" wide at the center and clasps at 16 3/4" with a sturdy lobster clasp. Pristine condition! $58

Another View	Trifari Dark Red Square Plastic Bead Necklace Sometimes you just need a bit of red to add that extra pizzazz to your look, and here's a Trifari single strand necklace just perfect for that. Or layer with a long crystal necklace or chains for a festive mood. The half-inch red, high- quality, seamless thermoset squares are tilted a la art moderne and strung to overlap, accordion style. The square beads look like red chicklets! The red could be called Indian Red or Brick Red. The necklace clasps with a spring ring at 28 1/2" and is signed on the end tag with the fancy 1970's lettering Trifari(c). Excellent condition. $28.00

Reverse	Swingin' 60's Enormous Agate Pendant Can you believe how BIG this pendant is? The agate is 1/8" + slice sawn from a geode and polished on both sides, remaining it its freeform shape, roughly 3 1/3" in diameter. Pure 1960s! The agate is prong set in a golden harness on 22 inches of snake chain, swinging freely, easily and richly. At the right edge of the agate you will see a flaw, where a small portion of the rough, crumbly outer surface of the geode extended into the sliced portion. This is considered a gem flaw rather than damage. The necklace is wonderful to wear and in otherwise excellent condition, but priced accordingly. Enjoy this a unique, one-of-a-kind jewel for $58

Reverse	Japan Champagne & Bubbles Pearly Beads Necklace This dreamy 2-strand necklace will add a hypnotic touch to the elegance of faux pearls. This is an example of so many beautiful, high quality necklaces marked Japan. The champagne beads have an opalescent finish that glows with swirling rainbow colors, similar to aurora borealis but more subtle. The faux pearls are ethereal with a semi translucent quality like bubble beads. The necklace clasps at a bit over 17" with adjustable rosary-style end beads and J-hook so you can wear it shorter if desired. Signed JAPAN on J-hook. Excellent condition. $32

Detail Reverse	Flashy 1960's Necklace with Black Lucite Beads When this type of Lucite bead necklaces from the 1960's are signed, it's always by West Germany. This is an unsigned beauty, but made just as the West German pieces, with a glass crystal rhinestone clasp. This 20mm round box clasp features a coronet setting for the black faceted glass. The rest of the beads are faceted black Lucite ovals in graduated sizes, the largest beads being 16mm x 20mm. This 28 1/2" necklace is a fabulous shiny piece with NO wear on the jet black beads. Excellent condition. $48

Reverse	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

Beads Detail	Maroon Pearl & Amber Red Art Beads Japan Triple Strand Necklace SOLD You don't have to wear this necklace--just having it is enough! But do wear it--the unlikely combo of beads and colors will melt your heart--and, of course--his. Metallic finish maroon aux pearls alternate in graduated sizes with textured swirl-tone gold drizzled nougat-colored beads, golden bicone beads and clear reddish amber-colored art beads with bits of 'sugar' here and there in the gold paint. Some of these beads may be glass--they sure look like it, but it's hard to tell due to the paint. All the fancy beads all have gold tone floral caps. The necklace clasps as a nice princess length of 17," but with the extender and hook clasp you can adjust it to choker size. Excellent condition.

Beads Detail	Enchanting Crystal Beads Necklace. SOLD We have for you a princess length necklace with beads of such astonishing colors! I couldn't find them anywhere on Swarovski, Austrian, or Czech color charts. The crystals have different colors awhirl inside of them. Purple/Blue/Gray crystals alternate with a lighter blue & purple with gold and pale green! The small amethyst glass spacers have about 1/2 AB coating on each bead. The twinkling lights flash against the larger, 10mm crystals. The colors are so varied and the crystal so high in quality it appears at first impression, to have an AB finish. This lovely necklace measures 16" and clasps with a silvertone spring ring. Excellent condition.
