Edwardian Copper Necklace
Necklace
Size: 17"
This is a most unique necklace from the late Victorian era made of button like solid copper. Each disc has an Art Nouveau design stamped into it with an M or a W inside a triangle on the back. The backs also have rivets that were hammered into links of the chain, holding them in place. The closure is a loop in the chain where a amaller end button fits through. With this type of closure, which I’ve not come across before, is not an adjustable necklace, and must be worn at its full 17 inches. Estimated book value $95. |

14KT Gold Facial Figural Pin
Pin
Size: 1-3/4" x 1-7/8"
One of the most popular categories in figural costume jewelry is the face pin. This Japanese pin is gold-plated porcelain with hand painted features. There are only two tiny surface chips to the finish; otherwise it's in very good condition. When my Uncle was posted in Japan in the 50's, this was the type of souvenir stuff he brought home for us kids, but nothing as nice as this pin. Estimated book value $150. |

Berber Morocco Sliced Amber Necklace
Necklace
Size: 26"
This is an unusual necklace made with sliced Amber discs and brass filigree beads. It came into my possession from a man that was selling out the inventory of a woman who traveled extensively to collected and study Amber. This piece was inventoried as old Berber Moroccan silver and sliced Amber. I don't really believe the chain is silver, but it could be. This is an over the head necklace with a total length of 26 inches. |

Silver Scrimshaw Bird Cuff Bracelet
Cuff
Scrimshaw is scarcely seen in bracelets, and this piece is even signed by the artist. The man I bought it from said TR was one of the best artist in the field, and his work demands high prices. Unfortunately, I don't recall his name. The silver cuff is also marked on both sides of one end. There is some type of a stamp on the outer side, and the inner mark is letters, but very difficult to read.
The eagle or hawk is sitting on a bluff that looks out over water, with mountains in the background. It is very detailed and a fine work of art. At close view, the bird’s eyes move with you; no matter what angle you're looking from, he's looking right back.
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. |

Rust Agate Stone Bracelet
Bracelet
Size: 7-3/8"
Polished agate is glued on to this silver tone link bracelet. I had a hard time trying to adjust the coloring on the stones so they show correctly. They are not as yellow in real life, but the brown tone is more accurate. Stones are darker with less variance in coloring. Popular style in the 1950's and 60s. Book value is $130. |

Reverse Carved Lucite Rose Set
Set
I was given one of these floral Lucite sets some third years ago that belonged to a work mates mother. If it weren't for the sentimental memories of my set, I would trade it in a minute for this one. This has got to be the nicest example of reversed carving I have ever seen. The Lucite is octagon on all three pieces, which illuminates the red color in the roses. The brooch is 1-1/4 of an inch across and the screw back earrings are 5/8 inch. The roses look so real its as if tea cup roses were picked and sunk in Lucite to preserve them. Buyer will be thrilled. Book value $100.

Candy Cane Coral Two Strand Choker with Earrings

If you like the 50's chokers, this set is a must have. Alternate transparant candy cane and coral beads hang two stranded with the shortest strand being 15-1/2 inches.

Beaded Flower Necklace from the 1950's
