1980's Geometric Mod Stickpin with White Glass Stones, New/Old Stock with Tag
This eye-catching 1980’s era glass and metal double-ended stickpin features a bold geometric design of brushed silver-tone domes set diagonally to square glass jewels. The glass jewels have sharply molded facets and are truly opaque; this design has white stones, I have also listed the design with bright red stones. Since both ends of the stickpin are identical, this piece can be worn on the lapel in the traditional form as at the collar or on a collarless neckline horizontally. A vinyl clutch within the nib keeps the in securely in place. (And, if you have a simple pin clutch, you can wear just the single ornament/shaft as an ascot pin.)
Part of the estate of an obsessive jewelry collector, these striking Modernist style stickpins originally sold at the old John Wanamaker’s, a very fine Philadelphia department store for $44 each (one had a label on it). They are well-made (they remind me of Givenchy jewelry of the period) and in excellent, unworn condition.

Pair of Vintage Victorian Revival Style Patterned Bangles
These two vintage silver tone bangles have stamped patterns in the Victorian Revival style: the wider has oak leaves on a geometric grid and the thin one has five-petal apple blossom type flowers on a background of vertical ribs. Each is domed and has a diameter of 2 3/8" across the width of the interior; both have secure push-clasps. The oak leaves bangle is 11/16" in width and has a safety chain; the floral is 3/8" and has a smooth inner wall. The nickel or chrome plating is very fine on each and together they make a very flattering addition to a lucky wrist (or two!).

Luxe Multi-Tier Hand-Cut Crystal Bead Chandelier Earrings
These rare hand-cut crystal bead earrings really live up to the chandelier name—you can almost imagine them hanging over the banquet table in the mansion of a very rich doll! Each earring is just under 3" long and 1" wide. The three tiers of facetted, clear crystal beads are arrange in six columns with two layers of barrel shapes above a swinging fringe of cone crystals. The earrings have silver-plated screw tops with claw-set round crystal bead fronts. The slight variations in the cut of each bead tell us they were carefully hand-made in Europe of fine lead crystal. Even with electrical wiring, your ears will be brilliant stars of the evening. These circa 1l950 earrings are in wonderful condition and speak of quality and careful craftsmanship from another time.

Unusual Vintage Rigid Mesh Bangle with Sea Creature Dragons
This 1930’s silver-plated bangle is made of rigid mesh over which swim four fantastical sea dragons. The bracelet measures 5/8" wide and has a diameter of 2 3/8" across the inner width of the oval. The sea creatures have scaled bodies with large winged fins and bearded heads—maybe Loch Nessie’s kin posed for this whimsical bracelet? It is not signed but I suspect it is European in original. The bangle has a firm box clasp and is in very fine condition with a pleasing patina.

Oversize 1970's Fantasy Horses Triple Tier Pendant Necklace
Oh, my, how do I describe this fantastical 1970’s pendant necklace simply? It’s three tiers of imaginary horse-like creatures with fanned tails and scrolled accents that I \ suggest an Asian flavor. The antiqued silver-plated pendant is 3 ¾" wide at the top and falls 6" deep. The elaborate curling "stripes" of the creatures are cast into the bodies and have textured finishes. I would bet they’d take very well to enamel or paints if you wish to create your own psychedelic masterpiece! The two lengths of interwoven chain when combined with the width of the pendant give the necklace an inner diameter of 19 ½"; the clasp is the spring-ring style. Not signed but significant for sure, this wild vintage necklace is in excellent condition.
