LOOSE ANTIQUE CAMEO COLLECTION SHELL CORAL GLASS Seven in all...

two small matching hand carved cameos set in gold filled metal settings, looks Victorian, either light shell or possibly hardstone.

Two loose carved shell cameos.

One shell cameo set in a heart shaped gold filled setting, circa 1940s-40s.

Pink and white glass cameo.

Angel skin pink hand carved cameo with some chips to the sides as illustrated.
 

ANTIQUE GOLD VICTORIAN GARNET & SEED PEARL RING sz 8 Lovely little Victorian (or early Edwardian) ring, apprx size 8 but easily resized if needed, unmarked but guaranteed to be at least 10K, possibly 14K.

Ring is comprised of 2 little seed or half pearls and 2 faceted oval stones that appear to be little garnets. It is missing one garnet, otherwise in good condition.

Priced accordingly. Sweet ring, and the stone (stones) can be easily replaced with another garnet or gemstone of choice.

My idea was to take the center stone, move it to the outside, and pick a different stone for the center like a sapphire, diamond, peridot, you name it!
 

VICTORIAN ART DECO EDWARDIAN LOCKET MOSAIC MOURNING Lovely grouping of pins and parts for crafters and jewelry artists.

Authentic art deco, Victorian, Victorian revival, Italian mosaic, part of an Edwardian locket, great stuff, what you see is what you get.

Blue pin with rhinestones just needs a stone, the red pin and the greenish celluloid pin, both art deco, just needs some epoxy, partial locket has been made into a pendant.

Fix these up or use them to make new creations.

RARE THIEF of BAGDAD MERCHANT FIGURAL BROOCH This is an impressive piece with fine detail and loads of character. Though unmarked and in need of a hinge and pinback, I was told that this is an original and highly sought after "THIEF of BAGDAD" collectible from the movie of the same name from the early 1940s. I am not and expert and would welcome more concrete information about this Alladin type piece.

Made of a silver tone metal that is not sterling, but maybe pewter, the highly detailed figural measures about 2 1/2" tall. It has a nice patina and shows gentle use, not abuse. The spendid male figure wears middle eastern attire with a turban style hat and curled up shoes. He has a hand on his hip and one in the air with an expressive look on his face.

The weight is heavy, realistic depiction quite nice, and overall condition terrific with the exception of the hinged pinback missing. This would be fairly easily restored by a compentant jeweler who can cold solder base metals. My jeweler charged about $5 to $7 for a job like this, but unfortunately he is no longer in my area.

Whether truly from the famous movie or just a fabulous three dimensional figural, this piece is an excellent vintage brooch sure to be a prize of any collection!


 

SUPERB VICTORIAN CARVED NEOCLASSIC FULL FIGURE CAMEO! I originally purchased this thinking I'd learn to make jewelry and create a wonderful ring, however, 15 years later, here it is, just dying to be made into a ring or other wonderful piece of jewelry.

Measuring about 7.1 mm by 16.7 mm, this hand carved hardstone cameo probably dated to the late 1800s to early 1900s. It is probably carnelian (cornelian). Only about 5% of all cameos depict a full figure of a person rather than a bust or profile, and this is part of the rarer grouping.

From a single stone, the background is a rich reddish stone with the woman carved from the white section. It is a classic or neoclasssic (neoclassical) Greek or Roman (Greco-Roman) woman in a diaphanous gown who seems to be holding a stringed instrument like a little harp or lyre.

On a side glance, the stone is layered, as most agates (agate) are. The back is darkest in a rust hue, while it lightens towards the top.

In excellent condition, this loose stone is a fabulous elongated shape and would be great in a ring or stickpin. A MUST for the cameo collector, this fine quality treasure is free from damage or repair.
 

VINTAGE HANDPAINTED GUILLOCHE ENAMEL HEART PIECE What a find this is!! I recently purchased a collection from a dealer of these guilloche enamel pieces that were never used. These went on lockets, compacts, dresser sets and assorted vanity items. They have a kind of art deco art nouveau Victorian transitional look with the lovely enameling and hand painted roses. The details are exquisite!

I have blue and white enamelled hearts and blue octagonal pieces. The hearts measure about 1" high and wide and the octagonal ones each are about 6/8" by 7/8".

You are buying one of your choice. If you want more than one piece, let me know and I can work out a deal.
 

GROUP OF BROKEN RHINESTONE JEWELRY FOR PARTS REPAIR What you see is what you get. please don't ask me if I have stones to fix these...if I did I would do so and sell these for more $$$! My laziness is your bonus...for crafters, jewel designers, or anyone who just wants some items to play with. Some of these can be fixed with minimal work, though others are mainly good for use as parts jewels. Price is for all.
 

FIXERS! 2 ANTIQUE PURSE FRAME PROJECTS I was saving these to re-purpose, or, renojuvenate (my own word!) one day. But, looks like I am not getting around to it, so check these out. You are buying both for one price. One is a round top about 3 1/4" diameter with a hinge top with a mirror. It needs a body. Probably dates to the 1920s-40s. The other is early 1900s, nearly 6" across, cloth body in poor condition, base metal filigree frame, hinged.

Buying both as found, priced accordingly.
 

AWESOME LOT! 67 PCS! ODD EARRINGS, RHINESTONES, DECO, VICTORIAN! This lot includes approximately 67 pieces of jewelry and pieces that are ready to be "recycled" into new creations! I have been saving these things for a bazillion years with the intention of one day making wonderful jewelry, creative accessories, or SOMETHING. Alas, it simply doesn't seem to be happening....

So...check out the pictures...odd rhinestone pieces, earrings, silver filigree, Victoriana, a big old broken pocketwatch, glass cameo, bakelite hat ornament, chrome and red bakelite 1930s art deco lid, Victorian bead work, cool tassel beaded piece, carved wooden African head or mask, Edwardian paste slides or shoe buckles, Haskell style earrings (one back is broken, you could probably restore these), a shoe clip with what appears to be black bakelite or an early plastic, jet black beads, some celluloid or plastic...and there is more.

You are buying the entire collection of pieces and found objects for ONE price. They are sold as is...some rhinestones may be missing here and there, the watch is more than likely NOT worth fixing, etc. However, what a wonderful grouping of items to turn into creative projects and potentially HUNDREDS, maybe even THOUSANDS of dollars worth of items. These are NOT cheap pieces, and this is not the kind of thing you would find at a craft store.

I am selling this lot as a SALE priced, WHOLESALE collection and am not negotiable on the price.
