RARE Chinese Victorian Silver Bracelet c1880s
This is a fabulous authentic VICTORIAN period Chinese bracelet just purchased as part of an incredible estate. Dating back to the 1880s or earlier, the ornate jewel measures about 10 mm (3/8") wide and 8" in circumference. It would fit a small to medium woman's wrist with ease.
Hallmarked with a Chinese character maker's mark, the bangle is open to allow some adjustment. An intricate raised design encircles the piece which is a nice heavy weight for its size. The geometric design repeats itself with swirls and (I think) the Asian good luck symbols or a variation thereof. It is not a stamped out design, as the inside of it is smooth.
With splendid patina, this may very well be over 100 years of oxidation...I would not polish it personally, but I'll leave that up to you. In excellent condition, it's free of damage or repair and is ready to wear. Retail on a piece of this calibre would be in excess of $250 to $300.
Size: 10 mm (3/8") wide and 8" in circumference

VERY UNUSUAL SIAM STERLING NIELLO CUFF BANGLE BRACELET
I've had lots of Siam silver from what is present day Thailand, but never a bracelet like this. It appears to be an earlier piece of Siam sterling. Measures about 7 1/4" in diameter with an opening that is adjustable. It's about 1 1/4" at its widest point. It has handmade wirework all around it. A niello section in the center. Stamped STERLING MADE IN SIAM. Small split on the side that cannot be seen when worn, otherwise good condition. Price reflects its imperfection.

FINE OLD ORNATE SILVER ENAMEL TRIBAL INDIAN NECKLACE NR
Just back from an incredible international buying excursion, I will be listing some great items of jewelry and collectibles over the upcoming weeks (and months). I was lucky enough to acquire some terrific and diverse items sure to appeal to anyone wishing to expand their personal collections! Click on my other auctions to view more of the uncovered treasures exclusively for my eBay customers!
This unique necklace measures about 40" long with a center pendant piece about 1 1/4". I am unsure of its exact age, but it appears to be early to mid century and was part of a collection of antiquities and mideastern items. The original owner passed away nearly 20 years ago, and almost everything was either ancient (Precolumbian) or no later than the early 1900s.
Unmarked, this appears to be sterling or at least 800 silver. It's comprised of silver sections which have been hand chased with etched chain links connecting them. The various shaped pieces are beautifully enamelled in rich green and red, and silver thread is woven together to make an extendable chain. It appears to be Eastern or Mid Eastern and is probably Indian (from India) or Isreali or another country known for filigree and silver.
In lovely condition, the piece appears all original and free of damage or repair. It can be worn shorter or longer, depending on your personal preference, and other than a cleaning, it is in mint to near mint condition. Sure to appeal to the pickiest of collectors. Feel free to write me directly if you'd like more information or care to share info with me.

ORNATE VINTAGE SILVER FILIGREE DANGLING EARRINGS
Fron my own collection comes this magnificent early pair of long dangling earrings. Unmarked, they are silver, I'd guess 800 silver rather than sterling silver...guaranteed NOT plated. A tad over 2" long each, the dangles date to the early 1900s.
The earrings are hand made silver filigree on an ornate openwork filagree design. Intricate and lovely, they have a strong Victorian influence with lovely wirework and a floral motif. Each flower (flowers) comes out in a 3D miniature design.
In EXCELLENT condition, each earring has a rich patina and is sold AS FOUND, UNpolished. They are all original with nice functional screw backs, each adorned with filigree work. These would be simple to adapt to pierced, if you desired, but the fact that they are all original and nice early pieces would tempt me to leave them as they are.
Probably of mid eastern origin (Israel Israeli Iran Iranian Persia Persian Afghan Afghanistan), these are lovely works of art that would compliment any collection of antique fillagree (filligree filigree).
