Vintage REPOUSSE Sterling Roses, Fruits, Morning Glories & Wheat Hinged Bangle This vintage sterling silver hinged bangle is a rich bounty of repousse’ roses and fruits all around. The bangle is 3/8" wide and has an inner diameter across the width of 2 9/16"; it’s oval in form so it conforms to the normal shape of the wrist. The deeply defined harvest includes wheat, grapes, tomatoes, peaches, morning glories, wildflowers, roses, and others I can’t identify, can you?

The hinged is the push clasp style with a safety chain for added security. The clasp has two tiny hallmarks on it and the bangle does test as sterling purity; this is probably a European piece. It is in very fine condition and has a good, strong structure. The combined depth of the embossing and the patina enhance the design of the foliage and fruit.

1920's Hoffman MORPHO Butterfly Wing Beach Sunset Scene Sterling Heart Pendant This circa 1925 sterling silver heart encases a beguiling tropical island scene hand-painted on genuine morpho butterfly wing.

Vintage German Sterling Silver Cockatoo PARROT with Gem Eye Pin Here’s a darling pet who won’t ever need feeding and will be happy to perch on your lapel any day! This vintage sterling silver cockatoo parrot is 1 11/16" tall and sits on a tree branch 1 ¼" wide.

As I understand, cockatiels are a subset of the cockatiels and both are types of parrots. This silver fantasy model has a lacy filigree body with textured crest feathers, pert beak, elongated wing feathers, and a large green chrysoprase or jade cabochon eye. The tree branch has a natural bark finish which adds to charm.

The reverse has an affixed "Sterling Germany" plaque and safety clasp pin. This sweet bird probably dates to the 1950s and is in wonderful condition.

BOLD Wide Sterling Organic Wave Cuff Bracelet - Signed If you love bold sterling jewelry like I do, this cuff will really catch your eye! It has an all-over brushed finish, rather like ultrafine waves undulating across the surface, mimicking the wavy, organic outline of the silver bracelet itself. It measures just under 2" wide at the center front and 1 1/8" at the back ends. The opening is currently 1 ¼" but it could be adjusted a little.

The inside is signed with an unusual hallmark containing "KD" and the .925 sterling purity mark. The cuff is gently worn with no significant scratches. The soft brushed finish not only hides any minor scuffs and also gives the cuff a certain refinement as well as a visually cooler appearance that makes it adaptable to both formal and casual attire.
