Click here to enlarge image and see more about item Art_Deco_GF_Geometric_Tiles_Wrap_Bracelet: Art Deco Gold-Filled Geometric Pattern Tiles Bypass Wrap Bracelet

Click for more detail...

Art Deco Gold-Filled Geometric Pattern Tiles Bypass Wrap Bracelet This vintage Art Deco period gold-filled bracelet is a wrap-around or bypass style with an energetic stamped design of "woven" double bars, raised above the surface.

The bracelet has rounded edges and is 3.8" wide and with the ends just touching the wide across the memory-wire oval is 2 1/2". Total inner circumference is 7" so while it may look small, it will expand fully to that length.

The jazzy raised bars have a hint of rose gold; the background is yellow gold-filled. The smooth end caps are polished so you can wear either or both ends "showing"--just light wear to the edges. Each is stamped "Pat. June '19" on the back which indicates this clever design was approved ty the US Patent Dept. in 1919. It is a fun piece to wear alone at the wrist, nearer the elbow, or, if you're feeling exotically Egyptian--above the elbow in the manner of Cleopatra.

Click for more detail...

The locket's width is 1 3/4" and there is a tab at the top left to open.

The front has a gorgeous aquamarine and white wavy patterns with delicate golden ribbons of tendrils falling downward like confetti. The back is a luminous solid aquamarine. (There is one very small tan spot--no breaks in the surface).

Inside, the two compartments hold photos a little over 1" in diameter. The photo frames are brass and the covers are celluloid. One cracked so I cut a piece of acetate which is totally colorless. The original photo shows a gentleman and girl in black and white, judging from the clothes, I would date them to 1910.

The gold-plated spiral-link chain reflects the confetti ribbons of the front. It is 24" long and has a spring-ring clasp. Condition is very fine with no enamel scratches or chips and the original frames a intact and secure too.

We have included a more recent, old-stock 18" long fine-link gold-filled chain necklace with spring-ring clasp. (Stamped on the tab, "1/20 12K.)

Condition is very fine and the cheery them encourage both compliments and warm wishes!

Click here to enlarge image and see more about item HP_Porcelain_Mums_Pin_Pdt_3: Antique 1908 Signed HP Porcelain MUMS Brooch & Pendant & GF Chain

Click for more detail...

Antique 1908 Signed HP Porcelain MUMS Brooch & Pendant & GF Chain This nicely sized circa 1910 hand-painted pendant / brooch has a burst of colorful chrysanthemums on its domed porcelain face. The brooch measures 2" by 1 ˝" and is about 3/8" deep from the base of the wire-twist edged bezel frame to the top of the porcelain plaque.

The painting reveals the skill of a trained artist; she understood color shading as well as the effect of carefully placed highlights to give these vibrant golden and purple chrysanthemums depth. The back of the painting is signed "Blanche Krueger, 1908" and has a stamped "29," probably the German porcelain maker’s mark. The brooch is set in a gold-filled frame with a swivel pendant bale and a C-clasp pin with extended shaft (the style around the end of the 19th century). This unusual presentation (versus the typical brass plate backing with prongs) emphasized the quality and care taken in creating a fine porcelain brooch.

I have paired the pendant with a mid-20th century new/old stock 12K gold-filled 18" neck chain to double your options. This is a lively, uplifting porcelain artwork and it’s in wonderful condition.
