Superb C1830 GEORGIAN 18K Gold, Sardonyx Shell & Genuine Pearl Cameo Brooch Pin This exceptional antique sardonyx shell cameo is set in an 18K gold frame accented with genuine pearls and backed with a solid gold domed plate. The brooch is 1 5/8" high and 1 5/16" wide. The cameo is exquisitely carved and depicts a classical beauty with naturally wavy hair wrapped with a bandeau across the top of her head and another around the back. She also wears a strand of beads or pearls around her neckline. The woman’s profile is creamy white against a solid background of mocha.

The cameo is bezel-set and rimmed with a continuous band of 2mm natural pearls edged in a beaded, scalloped mounting. The back of the cameo is completely enclosed in an 18K gold dome that is beautifully engraved "Andrew Hutton to C. Hutton." The brooch is not marked with gold content (much of the jewelry of that time was not), but tests as 18K purity. The long silver pin shaft—the length was for security and silver was more appropriate for weightier brooches--opens on a T-bar hinge and secures under a C clasp. A silver nib is used for security: you slip the pin into the front of the garment, poke it out, slip on the nib, and then slide it under the C clasp.

The cameo is in impeccable condition and the gold mounting has no flaws, only very light surface wear. This is truly an heirloom quality cameo of superior quality.

Old Stock 36 CZECHOSLOVAKIAN Lapis Glass Egyptian Pharoah Tablets Cameos / Cabs If finding old stock items gets your creative juices flowing, these vintage Czechoslovakia glass tablets or cameos will have you thinking of all kinds on Nile-tastic ways to decroate and adorn yourself in the style of Cleopatra. Each old molded glass image of a pharaoh or king measures 15mm high, just under 11mm wide, and is about 5mm thick. They are made of opaque lapis glass with applied bright lime green paint or enamel and have flat backs and flat, beveled lower edges.

You will receive 36 glass pieces from the old factory package (see photo of original cotton and paper wrapping showing "Made in Czechoslovakia" torn label). Each is unused and in new condition with the green enamel that simulates patina.

I naturally see them as originally intended for jewelry but they would work great on any collage, scrap-booking, picture frame or artwork you choose. Standard jewelry bezels can accommodate the tablets or just glue or wire them in place. Egyptomania reigns again!

Outstanding C. 1957 Large H. Stern Style SPUTNIK 18K Gold & GEMS Earrings These exquisite "Sputnik" style 18K yellow gold and semiprecious gemstone earrings are so named for their resemblance to the Russian space vehicle launched in 1957. The distinctive design prototype, by the renowned firm of H Stern, is a half-dome of gold with numerous faceted gems, individually set in high bezel mountings.

These earrings are a little over 1" in diameter—noticeably larger than most in the style—and each incorporates 19 fully faceted gems, 5mm in width. The stones appear to include: pink topaz, several varieties of garnet, peridot, citrine, amethyst, aquamarine, topaz, smoky quartz, green spodumene, and citrine. It’s difficult to identify all the stones with certainty due to the depth of the settings and the amount of gold around them-but all are transparent and well cut. The gemstones have very fine color saturation and may have originated in Brazil—a natural home for this style due to the diversity of gems that can be mined there and the fact that H Stern is based there.

The earrings have sturdy, wide clip fittings. They are hallmarked with the 750 purity stamp for 18K gold as well as the maker’s hallmark. They are in excellent condition.

Hans Stern founded his globally famous jewelry firm in 1945 in Rio de Janeiro. The company has built a reputation for the finest quality jewels with innovative, avant garde designs.
