I am not the gushy type but this little sterling pin IS adorable. Only a little over an inch wide but a real eye-catcher. Yes, it is sterling though too old to be marked and handmade. The dainty blue and white enamel shows very little wear and pearls are in good shape too. Stabbed with a pin? I don't know if that is original or not but it is soldered in and it does add to the charm. Sturdy C clasp and wire reinforcement in the back. Definitely one of a kind.

Traditional Victorian bookchain necklace has spring clasp in front so you can change the pendant. This is the original pendant though, with matching links from which hangs an elegant cross with a tiny black stone. Goldfill is amazingly well preserved, especially on the 17 inch chain. Cross (2 inch)drop shows a little wear, especially on the back.

This Victorian pin deserves a close-up look - I have never seen anything like it. First of all, the theme: a swan and seashell are unusual for Victorian times. The rose rolled gold of the seashell has beautiful detail. Now note the contrast of yellow gold under the swan; it's rough like she is paddling like crazy. The swan is nicely 3 dimesional with appled wings showing individual feathers. Alas, the swan is not sterling so some of the silver has worn off the top wing. Otherwise, very good. condition. Back has fat c clasp or half tube. There is a small loop on back, under swan - I wonder if something was suppose to hang from it? Tell me if you know!

Impresive size, this Victorian necklace, (1 1/4 x 7/8 inch), and it has lovely embossing on both sides, flowers on back and reposse with black highlights(basse-taille?)on front. A little of black is worn on hinge side where it would be held when opening. Also, an intial A is detectable on this side, maybe even JEA - hard to read. But I like the other side just as well if you the initials don't match yours. Some parts are gold for sure, some probably goldfilled.

I suppose this could be called a mourning pin with its black enamel though maybe not with the half-pearls.
It is almost 2 inches long, has a safety pin clasp and is in very good condition.

Simple oval Victorian pin has a very large faceted amethyst glass stone in bezel setting, circled by twisted rope metal and a bamboo patterned metal rope. There are a couple of small scrathes (only visible under very close examination) on the faceted side but the table of the stone has no flaws. Considered in price. C clasp.

I try not to overdo my descriptions, but stunning is the words for this 58 inch string of faceted and hand-knotted beads with purple disc spaces between knots - that's a lot of knots!
There are tiny dings on the ends of some beads but only visible under 10 power loupe so I would say excellent vintage condition. Long enough to loop twice and then knot.

Wow! They did a lot better than coursage pins in the olden days. This elegant pin, marked 950 sterling (English?), is curved out to accomodate stems, has pokers to hold them and a latch to close over them. Then the bouquet is pinned to the dress or jacket. It makes an unusual pin all by itself too. I couldn't have guessed what it was if I hadn't found bow shaped pins (see # 6012) in a Victorian jewelry book.
