Large intricate fish and waves motif carved opal.  35.55 cts.  Circa late 1970s.  This vintage opal pendant measures about 1.5 inches by 1.5 inches.  Large area of potch on back.  There are two areas where this opal piece was repaired when mounted for a necklace piece.  One repaired crack is on the tail fin and the other repaired crack is near the bottom front on the wave motif.  This natural opal was carved in Australia and set with gold jeweler’s wire in the United States.  Includes original felt gift box that is marked Finest Australian Opal.  The hard case gift box has some wear and is in Very Good condition.  This unique tropical fish carved opal is in Average condition.  

 Fleur de Lis has been a popular motif every since it was introduced. It's surprising the old pieces don't come up on the market very often. This lovely onyx pendant, measuring 1-3/8 inch, is topped with a small Fleur de Lis that is peppered with tiny seed pearls that are all original to the piece. It’s set in a twisted gold plate frame that looks like sterling vermeil. The chain is unusual and has etched links. Judging from the design and material used, I am placing this in the Victorian era from about the 1880's. Current market has dropped from $585 to $385.


Feel free to make an offer in the Archive section.  Magnificent set of gray pearls set in Sterling Silver and marked K.J. Sterling on the brooch, and Silver on the screw back earrings. The ring is also marked, but the facing is too large for me to get my loupe near enough to read. I was not able to find out anything about the manufacturer, but I would estimate in was made around 1930. 


Done in a grape and vine motif, the leafs are etched and have a row of beaded silver around them. They sparkle as if they were set with Marcasite. The earrings are 1-1/4" long, the brooch is 3 inches, and the ring, which also has grapevine curls, is 1-1/8 inch long by 3/4 inch high. There is yellowed glue along the back ring spine which looks like it's been there since the ring was made no doubt for reinforcement. It is a size 6.25. This is an exquisite set!


Feel free to make an offer in the Archive section.  Delicate vintage onyx heart necklace hand painted and signed by Japanese artist.  Circa early 1970s.

This rare NATURAL Alexandrite stone with a Marquise cut would make a great Valentine's Day gift. Measures .40ct (approx). The setting on this ring is white gold marked DSK (the goldsmith), and 585 (which stands for 14kt gold), and is a size 6.75. Current market value on this ring has increased from $1500 to $2000.


Not all stones are equal in value. STONE VALUE ACCORDING TO COLORING: This is NOT the lower $20 a caret purplish-red as seen more often. It DOES exceed the lower end of the $1500 a caret grayish green. This stone is a lovely green by natural light and turns lavender under an incandescent lamp.


CLARITY RATING: Alexandrite is one of the stones that typically have eye-visible flaws which place them in the LI or MI (light to medium) standard clarity rating. All this means is that the transparency of the stone with its inclusions is what is referred to as semi-translucent rather than letting light shine through. Emerald is another such stone.

Collector Bookstore is a retailer of new books located in Leavenworth, Kansas. We specialize in price guides and reference books for the antiques and collectibles industry.  Collector Bookstore Notes: This is a detailed price and identification guide which covers the highly collectible Takahashi carved bird jewelry pins, some of which are valued as much as $3,000. Publishers Description: After Pearl Harbor, Japanese-Americans Yoneguma and Kiyoka Takahashi and their three young sons were incarcerated at the Poston III internment camp for three and a half years. While there, the Takahashis participated in a bird carving class where they learned the art of carving and painting bird pins using meager materials scrounged from scraps left-over wood that was used to build the camp.  From the beginning, the couple excelled at the craft. Upon their release, unable to find work due to the continuing xenophobic attitudes against those of Japanese ancestry, the Takahashis started a home-based business making and selling handcrafted bird pins. For 40 years the Takahashis perfected their craft. Immediately popular, the couple sold every bird pin they made, earning enough income to purchase their own home, pay for their healthcare, save for a comfortable retirement, and send all of their children to college.  This book is a celebration of their lives, their legacy, their art. Lushly illustrated with 400 color photographs of rare bird pins, the pages of this book recount in detail the inspiring story of the Takahashi family. For collectors who appreciate the artistic value of the birds, specifics of the bird pins are carefully cataloged including size, signature, date, species, and value.  Enamel brooch pin, purple with golden floral center pattern and golden trim.

We specialize in price guides and reference books for the antiques and collectibles industry.  Many people have at least one piece of old jewelry, often handed down from within the family. Such brooches, earrings, bracelets and so on may be of a good example of their type, but because they are unfashionable or damaged in some way they are neglected and remain at the bottom of the jewelry box. This book aims to encourage readers to take them out for a closer look and to help them understand the fine craftsmanship many of these pieces represent. All types of jewelry are described and illustrated, from rings to cuff links and tie pins, and their characteristics are explained. The traditional methods, decorative techniques and tools used by the jewelers and goldsmiths are detailed through easily understood drawings. Gold, silver and platinum are discussed, as well as the properties of the principal gemstones and the ways in which they are cut and set. A chapter on hallmarks gives a guide to marks as they are used on gold and silver jewelry.  Average size, seems a bit lightweight for bakelite, but unsure, could be plastic like lucite, circa 1950s or so, from my own collection, stackable or worn alone, about 2 5/8" interior diameter, nearly 3" exterior diameter, 3/8" wide, good vintage condition, sold as found, priced as NON-bakelite.
