C1945 CORO Vermeil STERLING CRAFT Jensen Style DOVE Brooch Pin This circa 1945 vermeil dove pin by Coro was part of their Sterling Craft line and shows the influence of Danish jewelry design, particularly the studio of Georg Jensen, in its strong, stylized Deco / Art Moderne contours. The pin is 2 3/8" wide and 1 ½" high; the front plate is stamped in relief and the back plate is flat—this brooch has some weight to it.

The back of the brooch is signed in an oval "Sterling Craft by Coro." This bold Moderne is in wonderful condition with only limited, very short surface scuffs and all the vermeil plating is brilliant front and back.

The polished cosmic swirl measures 3" across and 1 7/16" high. The domed silver oval at the tail is textured and patinated to resemble wood graining.

NAVAJO Signed Benally Wide Sterling Cuff with Turquoise -Sleeping Beauty Mine This estate sterling silver cuff was handmade by Navajo artist P. Benally and features five large turquoise cabochon stones in shadowbox settings. The domed cuff measures 1 ¼" high at the font and a little over 1" high at the back edges.

The exterior of the cuff has extensive hand-stamped patterns on the front and horizontal bands on the sides.

"P. Benally, Sterling" is tamped on the inside and a "3" is hand-incised. The cuff has the patina as found and is in very fine, well cared for condition.

Dramatic ART DECO Genuine AMETHYST, Sterling Enamel Pendant Necklace This dramatic period Art Deco pendant necklace juxtaposes a genuine lavender amethyst with glossy black enamel on sterling for the high-impact look favored by the flappers of the 1920s. The pendant itself is 1 ¼" high and 7/8"; the height with the fancy pierced bail is 1 11/16".

The oval amethyst is faceted and prong-set. If you look closely at the lower left, you can see natural inclusions or growth lines of the crystal—the equivalent of "beauty marks." The sterling rectangular frame has nipped corners and is finished on the outer edge as well as around the amethyst with a beaded stamped border. The back of the pendant is stamped "Sterling."

The pendant hangs from two lengths of sterling oval chain which create a necklace of inner diameter of about 16 ½" including the spring-ring clasp which is stamped "Sterling." The necklace is in excellent condition and has a striking presence—all the more so since it’s a genuine, untreated, gemstone, not colored glass as was--and is--so often used.

The entire length of the bracelet is 7 ¾" and just under 1" high at the center, upright, horseshoe.

1930's Thick Carved Black BAKELITE Jeweled Floral Dress Clip Pin This deeply carved, thick black Bakelite dress clip has a lush floral design that, in the spirit of the time, has been jazzed up with cut glass rhinestones. The clip measures 2" high, 1 ½" wide, and ½" thick.

The carving is very sharp and deep with a swooping, asymmetric leaf separating the two blossoms and adding a dramatic element which is further accented by small ruby red rhinestones. Each flower has its own personality and style and is also set with a larger crystal rhinestone. These jewels, although not original to the piece, add color and a splash of glitter.

The clip mechanism has a reliable spring and tiny teeth for a firm grip. I love to wear clips as pendants and this one has such an elegant look and bold size that it’s just perfect! The clip tests quite positive as Bakelite and it‘s in wonderful condition.

ARTS & CRAFTS Style JewelArt Sterling Rosebuds Bar Pin This vintage sterling silver bar pin by JewelArt alternates rosebuds and leaves up and down with a naturalistic style recalling the Arts and Crafts era. The bar pin measures 2 5/8" by 9/32". Look closely and you will note that each of the deeply cast rosebuds varies, suggesting the pin was crafted by hand--this is not a blank strip of identical rosebuds stamped by machine.

The back of the bar pin has the "Sterling by JewelArt" plaque and a safety clasp. I would date the piece to the 1930s-40s though the style is very much in keeping with the studio jewelers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Exceptional ITALY C1950 Shell CAMEO & Gilt .800 Silver Filigree Bracelet This circa 1950 Italian .800 silver and gilt bracelet showcases a lovely shell cameo centerpiece and exquisite filigree links. The bracelets’ amazing ornate links are made of filigree in the truest sense of the word: fine wires hand-worked into lacy jeweled scrolls and arabesques—not the machine stamped style see in many items. The tight coils around the cameo alternate between bright-white silver and gold while the various petal forms, coils, and paisleys of the square and flowers links are all gold in finish. The bracelet is 7 3/16" long and 1 ¼" wide at the cameo centerpiece.

The shell cameo shows a woman in profile with lush flowing locks and a gauzy bodice draped over her shoulders. The shell has clear cutting and no damage. The cameo is enclosed with an unusual frame of oval loops supported by a double wire-twist surround.

The back of the box clasp is stamped "800" and has a partial mark as well, the outline is that of the mark often used for "Italy." The bracelet is in wonderful condition and is an exceptionally fancy style that will provide a treat for the eyes—yours and your admirers!
