Grand 1930's Gilt Brass Leaves Pin with Long Ball Chain Fringes Swish and sway and shine all day (and night!) in this dramatic 1930’s gilt brass brooch of furled leaves and ball chain fringes. The grand pin is 3 ¼" wide and 4 ¾" long! (The elegant gloved hand is longer than the average woman’s but gives you a good idea of the scale of the brooch.) The leaves have a brilliant yellow gold finish and very fine rib-and-vein detailing. The ball chains have a slightly softer finish and graduate in length to the longest strand in the center. The back of the brooch has a safety clasp pin. This fanciful brooch is in very fine condition with only very tiny specks of oxidation on the leaves and darkening to a few balls. Wear this swingin’ number and you’ll add spring to your step just to keep the chains a-wigglin’!  

Dramatic AVON Deco Style Black & Silver Pendant Necklace Long, lean and lustrous, this 1970’s vintage Avon Jewelry creation looks to the Art Deco days of the 1920’s and 1930’s for inspiration.

A fancy link chain 24" in length with a spring-ring clasp completes the necklace. The pendant is marked "AVON" on the back. In great condition, this is an eternally chic necklace!  

Good Luck Vintage Carved Stone Happy HOTEI in Hat Pendant Necklace This happy vintage Hotei figure is carved green hardstone (it may be aventurine or jade) and wears a sun-shading brass hat with prong-set faux ruby. Hotei, often confused with Buddha, is actually one of the seven Japanese Shinto gods of good luck. Sometimes called Laughing Buddha, Hotei is the god of happiness, laughter, and the wisdom of contentment. (In Chinese Buddhism he is known as Budai, the Loving or Friendly One and is considered Bodhisattva Maitreya in disguise.) This busy deity is also the patron of the weak, children, bartenders, and fortune tellers! Smiling with his eyes closed, Hotei is 1" high and hangs from a 18 ½" long curb link brass chain with safety clasp. Likely dating to the 1930’s or 1940’s, this chubby, cheery Hotei is in great condition and offers good luck and prosperity to the wearer.

A connecting ring is stamped "1/20 12KGF." Perfect with tailored looks or more dressy ensembles, this snazzy gold-filled bracelet is in great condition.

MOD Pink & Purple Acrylic Hoop Earrings, Comfy Spring Clips Hot, hot color and very novel spring-loaded clip tops give these 1960’s MOD earrings real punch!

The brass spring-loaded tops are very comfortable and are stamped "Pat. Pend." The earrings are a wonderful find for those who don’t wear pieced styles and they are in great condition!

The domed pearl tops, 7/8" wide, are mounted on golden plates with clip backs with those wonderful adjustable tension arms. The clips are signed "Napier" in a stamped mark.

Earthy Finnish Modern AARIKKA Type Stained Wood & Twine Drop Earrings These stained wood earrings feature a warm blend of earth tones with a very artsy use of twine for the dangling beads. The earrings are 3 ¼" and have the look of Finnish modernism, a la Aarikka (their pieces are usually unmarked so they may, indeed, be the maker). The earrings have pierced surgical steel posts and clutches and are in excellent, unworn condition. A fun look for the stylish "Nature Girl"!

The bangle is in great condition and will coordinate marvelously with vintage Bakelite and plastic accessories.
