Last year we introduced our ATTIC SALE section. It proved to be a big success. Customers could see the book value of each piece of our older inventory and make an offer on it. With the poor economy and the need for all of us to watch our pennies, we've decided to turn the entire store over to the same principle during these hard times, so you can still afford to dress up without breaking the bank.

THIS IS HOW IT WORKS: You tell us what you are willing to pay to make an item yours, and we'll do our best to make it possible. DON'T BE SHY - This has proven to be as much for us as it is for you!

Here's a nice selection of Victorian jewelry from the 1800's, Art Nouveau and Art Deco, to the more modern Retro.

That was my favorite flower when I was real young, and this piece depicts them well. It is raised half an inch in height with the flowers bent in various directions. As with all my inventory I leave the cleaning up to the new owner, and this piece needs a light touch as it's a little dusty. All my jewelry is vintage or antique previously worn jewelry for the most part. For this reason I try to include close-up photos for your examination, but please feel free to ask questions before you make your purchase. Circa: 1840 Condition: Excellent Size: 1-7/8" x 1-1/8" Type: Brooch Manufacturer: Unknown	Your Price: $195.00

This scarf pin, which measures just over 2-1/2 inches, still has a perfect pin point; however, the shaft has a small stress bulge with various nicks. The head looks as if it may have been gold over sterling but the pin is marked Sterling and has a B with a sword running through it, a mark I am not familiar with. These pieces are rather difficult to find. All my jewelry is vintage or antique previously worn jewelry for the most part. For this reason I try to include close-up photos for your examination, but please feel free to ask questions before you make your purchase. Circa: 1890-1910 Condition: Fair Size: 2-1/2" Type: Scarf Pin Manufacturer: B with a Sword running through it	Your Price: $165.00

Of coarse the griffin motifs were also part of this Art Nouveau style. Here you have them combined for a delightful display of the period. This scarf pin, measuring three inches, has a sterling shaft. The head, a lion griffin, is gold plate over brass and houses a red cabochon eye that looks like garnet, but is too small to test. He is peaking over a turquoise stone with gorgeous yellow flex. I was told this is real turquoise, but don't know enough about the stone to tell one way or the other. The yellow does go all the way through it, but I'd be inclined to say it is early glass, as the close-up photos show surface crackling at the tip. On the back there is a very tiny raised piece of metal that could carry a mark; however, it's so small I can't determine it for sure. This is a terrific collector’s piece. All my jewelry is vintage or antique previously worn jewelry for the most part. For this reason I try to include close-up photos for your examination, but please feel free to ask questions before you make your purchase. Circa: 1890-1910 Condition: Excellent Size: 3" Type: Scarf Pin Manufacturer: Unknown	Your Price: $95.00
Click for more detail... 401-2	Dainty Gold Victorian Buckle This dainty Victorian buckle is only 1-1/2 inch square but shows off delightful flowers in its motif. It is gold-filled over copper I believe. Hard to tell because it's in such good condition. All my jewelry is vintage or antique previously worn jewelry for the most part. For this reason I try to include close-up photos for your examination, but please feel free to ask questions before you make your purchase. Condition: Excellent Size: 1-1/2" Type: Buckle Manufacturer: Unknown	Your Price: $65.00
Click for more detail... 401-1	1880's Yellow Gold gf, Brooch/Pin Bar with Pearls Perfect Victorian bar brooch/pin in yellow gold, gold filled. Notched and engraved, set off with seed pearls and glass center. Tube hinge pin back. One of the finest examples I've had from the 1800's. Measures 2-1/2 inch. Photos don't do this piece justice. All my jewelry is vintage or antique previously worn jewelry for the most part. For this reason I try to include close-up photos for your examination, but please feel free to ask questions before you make your purchase. Circa: 1880-90's Condition: Excellent Size: 2-1/2" Type: Bar Pin Manufacturer: Unknown	Your Price: $250.00

This pin, done in the popular poppy motif, is English made in the mid 1920's. Completely hallmarked "Genuine Cloisonné with the English crown, W.S. Sterling". It is in fantastic condition with only a pin head prick of enamel missing along the outer ridge that is not noticeable unless examined closely; which I have tried to show in a close up view. The pin does not have the same black patina that the back does, but it does not look as if it had been replaced. Cleaning is left up to the new owner (there is some glue residue on the back from an old price tag). Vivid colors of peach, green, and white give the look of a spring garden. All my jewelry is vintage or antique previously worn jewelry for the most part. For this reason I try to include close-up photos for your examination, but please feel free to ask questions before you make your purchase. Circa: 1920's Condition: Very Good Size: 2-1/2" x 7/8" Type: Pin Manufacturer: W.S. Sterling	Your Price: $225.00
