Antique ARTS & CRAFTS Pierced Sterling & Sodalite Pendant Necklace This sleek, hand-cut and pierced Arts & Crafts sterling pendant is inset with an oval cabochon of opaque deep blue/cream gemstone, probably sodalite. This circa 1900 pendant is 2 1/8" long and has raised centers in the scrolls above and below the gemstone, hand-hammered from the back. "Sterling" is stamped on the reverse.

I added a modern 26 "twisted, interwoven link sterling chain with spring-hook clasp. The tab is stamped marked "Milor, B&B, Made in Italy" on the two sides. The pendant and chain are in excellent condition; I have left the finish of the pedant as found as collectors often prefer this. The piece is distinctive and speaks very strongly to the time when hand-crafted silver jewelry featuring the bounty of nature’s more unusual gemstones was prized, as it still is, a century later.
 

Superb EDWARDIAN Sterling Guilloche Enamel Sash Pin in Lilac & White This exquisitely detailed Edwardian sterling guilloche’ sash buckle brooch is crisply enameled in soft lilac and white. The 3" wide oval displays several patterns on the engine-turned base: floating ovals, fan-shaped palmettes, and parallel ribs. The clever design even includes the clasp tongue, in silver, which is soldered on the left end only to allow your garment’s fabric to show directly beneath. The back of the sash brooch is gilt gold on "Sterling" as marked. (I polished it lightly so as not to disturb the gilding.) The pin shaft secures with a C-clasp. This circa 1910 enameled beauty has impressive size, the quality is superb, the condition perfect.
 

Antique C1900 Sterling & Sodalite Edwardian Transitional Pin This circa 1900 cast sterling silver pin is set with three half-domes of sodalite or similar hard gemstone in a airy, scroll-work motif that reflects a transition from the more naturalistic Art Nouveau to the increasingly elaborate Edwardian influences in design. The pin is 2 /5/8" wide and 1 ¼" high. Bead-edge curves and applied bosses (balls) enhance the lacy effect of the filigree. The pin shaft (which may not be sterling) secures with a C clasp. There are no markings and the pin tests as at least .925 sterling in silver purity though it could be higher. It is in wonderful condition and has a pleasing patina which highlights the fine detail

Elegant Victorian Sterling Silver Bypass Bangle Bracelet A most clever design, this Victorian sterling silver bypass bangle bracelet twists easily open to allow you to slip it on and off.

The domed bangle is 4mm wide and has an inner diameter of 2 ½"—quite appropriate for the modern lady. Stamped on the inside in incredibly tiny letters is "Ster" for sterling silver. This late 19th century find is in wonderful condition with no dents or crimps in the body and a soft and flattering patina of time.
