Vintage TRIFARI Thermoset Plastic BIG WHITE Fish Pendant
Ah, the elusive BIG WHITE has at last been found in this vintage Trifari thermoset plastic fish pendant which hangs from a matching enameled metal chain. The fish is 3 ½" long, 1 ¼" wide, and ¾" thick and has a glossy cream-color surface interrupted only by the cylindrical eye. She has a golden loop bale, signed "Trifari," through which slides the 30" long chain with spring-ring clasp. There is a little wear to the chain’s finish, but it’s not glaring (and could be touched-up, if you wish). Ms. Big, on the other hand (or fin?) is in great condition. The catch of the summer!

Amazing Enameled DALMATIAN 3-D Puppy Shoulder Sitter Pin
This amazing, three-dimensional, enameled Dalmatian puppy brooch is designed to lay across your shoulder as a constant companion! The clever, curved body pup is 4 1/4" long and has a gold-plated body. He is completely enameled on the exterior in glossy white with gold-trimmed black spots. His paws are brightly polished gold and his eyes are emerald cut-crystal rhinestones. The safety-clasp pin on his belly allows you to affix your new friend to a jacket or sweater so he can ride securely with you all day. This pleasing put is in excellent, unworn condition; there is only one very thin line in the enamel on his right front leg, an artifact of the enameling process. The darling Dalmatian will be sure to turn more than a few heads while he snuggles close to yours!

Vintage 1960's New/Old Enameled FORK & SPOON Earrings on Card
Soup course first? Or salad? Gee, why not dive into the hot pie and have a spoon ready for the melted ice cream? Whatever your taste, these vintage enameled utensil earrings give you the option of having your cake and looking adorable too. The set includes one 2 ½" long light green fork and a 2 ½" vanilla cream spoon. Each has lightly stamped patterns at the edge of the handle and a gold-tone pierced wire top. The pair comes on the original plastic display card.
These fun and practical trinkets are part of a lot removed from a downtown Boston store in the 1960s and stored for 40 years (many pieces have their original sales tags). So, of course, the fashionable fork and spoon have never "left the drawer" and are in like-new, unworn condition.

Jazzy 1930's Liberty Bell Pin with Pave' Rhinestones & Enamel
This darling Liberty Bell, a 1930’s rendition of one of the first symbols of America’s freedom, is cast in silver metal, enameled, and set with pave’ rhinestones. The bell is 1 ½" high and has bright stones throughout the silver-plated portion. The mounting bar is brown enamel punctuated with red rhinestones (one is slightly darker in color but I think it’s best to leave as original). There is a slim, recessed navy band near the base of the bell and, of course, the bell has the famous crack! The pin closes with a safety clasp and save for a tiny amount of enamel loss, the bell is in very fine condition. Let bejeweled freedom ring!

Darling Vintage TRIFARI Ruffled Leaf with Rhinestone Bug
This beguiling Trifari leaf brooch has a special guest—a sparkling rhinestone bug has come calling! The gold-plated leaf measures 2 3/8" high and has a Florentine finish on the top surface with a bright, polished finish on the upturned edge and stem. The rhodium-plated insect (an exotic ladybug, perhaps?) is set with three shapes of crystal rhinestones. The crown Trifari signature is stamped on the stem; the pin has a safety clasp. This circa 1960 pin is wonderful condition. As an aspiring gardener, I just smile each time I spot that darling bug!

Striking African Queen Sculptural Thermoplastic Pendant Necklace
This vintage African Queen pendant has a molded face of glossy black thermoplastic set into an impressive mounting befitting an Egyptian ruler. The headdress is silver-plated and has a textile pattern cast into it; it measures 2 ½" by 2". The face has regal molded features and a glossy finish which looks just like Bakelite (it may be, but I have difficulty getting black Bakelite to test positive). The 24" long chain is light in weight and silver in color, I believe it is aluminum; the box clasp is stamped "Germany." This distinctive circa 1960 pendant is in great condition and will help you get the royal respect you deserve.

Vintage Figural Spider in Web with Attached Spider Ring and Chain
In many cultures, a spider web is a good omen and you can triple your odds of enjoying good fortune with this vintage spider web cuff and ring pair. The silver metal cuff measures 1 5/8" high at the front by 2 3/8" across the inner diameter. The cuff has a very intricate, realistic web upon which sits Ms. Spider showing off a toned body inset with turquoise cabochons containing tiny chips of opaque stone. The attached chain is 3 ½" long including the 1 ¼" baby spider. The adjustable ring is 1 1/8" high at the front of the dimensional spider and is a size 9. Both the cuff and ring can be adjusted in size. I believe the metal is "German" silver, an alloy of nickel and other metals that keeps a non-tarnished look with polishing. Any time of year, who couldn’t use a little arachnid amusement and good luck? See top of page for the latest discounts and store specials!

Truly Dramatic Butterfly Mask Glazed Porcelain Pendant Necklace
For the actress, lover of theatre, or anyone who wants to be noticed in unique jewelry I offer this vintage glazed porcelain butterfly mask pendant. The engaging face is substantial for a pendant at 3" wide and 2 ½" deep. The airbrushed design blends muted tones of violet, teal, and rose on pale cream. The butterfly wings cover the upper portion of the face which is pierced at the eyes. The pendant hangs from a silky black rayon cord that is 31" in length and slips unobtrusively through the forehead. You can knot it shorter and to suit any neckline. You can also hang the mask on a wall for true "wearable art." The necklace is in excellent condition; the fine glaze crackle lines on the underside of the chin cannot be felt and are a natural result of the firing process, not wear. This stage-worthy pendant will garner its lucky wearer many compliments.
