Antique Gold Wire Teardrop Amber Pierced $165.00
Rhinestones pepper the entire length of this tiger brooch. Meant to pin over the shoulder but could use just about anywhere, including household items such as a pillow. It is jointed so it moves freely. It would be possible to add a few C links and a clasp and wear him as a bracelet. Silver tone metal with green rhinestone eyes, measures just shy of eight inches. Estimated book value of $125.  How neat is this? On original card with plastic sleeve is this Elvis bracelet known as the Elvis Rock. Made up of Apple Juice, Cream, Black, marble Butterscotch, and Red BAKELITE that hang off a seven inch metal charm type bracelet. Dated 1954, Elvis Presley Enterprises, All Rights Reserved. Highly collectible; crossing from vintage jewelry, Bakelite, and Elvis collectors. Estimated book value $160.  This choker is a rare find, being red rhinestones. There are four drops that culminate with pear shaped stones. In between these are large brilliant cut red Aurora Borealis stones. All are pronged, hand set in silver tone findings which is also scarce. There is a little finish wear to an inch section on the back, otherwise condition is great. Book value $160.  The Maltese cross brooch is one of the more popular motifs, and this 1940s set by Weiss is one of the nicest I've had to offer. The brooch is over two inches and combines soft powder blue rhinestones with both powder and dusty blue cabochons. The Weiss clip earrings mimic the style. They are one inch square. Maltese brooches can run from the simple starting at $55, to the grand such as this one at $140 without the matching earrings. This set goes great with the Florenza necklace also up for sale as pictured in the last photo. Condition: There is some finish loss at the bottom back on one earring, otherwise in very good condition. Also there is one Aurora Borealis stone in each earring that I'm certain is a replacement, as they were not in use until the 1950s. They are exactly the same size as the blue and look fine, but wanted to mention it.

Elvis Presley Bakelite ROCK Bracelet $69.00

  

Red Rhinestone Choker with Aurora Boreal $29.00

  

Weiss Maltese Cross Brooch and Earring S $79.00
This adjustable necklace by Florenza is done in antique-looking silver tone metal. Paved with stones of powder blue and dusty blue cabochons. I had difficulty adjusting the coloring to show accurately, but did my best to reflect its true beauty. This piece is definitely regal. It matches very well the Maltese cross brooch and earrings by Weiss (shown in last photo) that I am offering as well. Florenza jewelry was top-quality and rarely do collectors pass up even the less expensive made pieces. Their pieces of the costume jewelry are only recently commanding the prices they deserve. Book value $225.  This fabulous 17-1/2" necklace is probably from the late flapper period. The facet jet glass beads are strung on a link chain. Adjustable back bead and chain with hook closure. Estimated book value $130.  This rhinestone set is gorgeous and was difficult to photograph in its true coloring. The stones are true citrine color with large smoke rhinestones at each center ridge. The pattern of both the adjustable 16-1/2" necklace and the 6-3/5" long bracelet is a zigzag pattern unlike anything I've ever seen. The center width of the necklace is two inches. The clasp on the bracelet is nearly invisible. I've tried several times putting it on and off with no trouble at all, but I would say you need your finger nail to do so. All stones are in the best condition. The back of the set looks evenly worn on both pieces with normal finish loss. Estimated book value of $400 judging from other sets that are not even as grand as this. Don't miss it at our great price!  This neat pen has a swirl tip to hold ink and the barrel is blue marbled. I believe the entire pen is plastic, other than an inside metal ring that looks like a washer that pops out of a side grove. Not sure how the thing works, but it’s very comfortable to hold and I imagine it would be great to use in calligraphy.

Florenza Necklace in Dusty and Powder Bl $99.00

  

Black Jet Glass Beads Strung on Chain $29.00

  

Citrine and Smoke Zigzag Pattern Rhinest $89.00

  

Early Marbled Plastic Inkwell Pen $3.00
Modernist design, simple, sleek, 7 1/8" long by a tad over 3/8" wide, stamped sterling silver, rose or pink gold wash vermeill, very good vintage condition. Sold unpolished as found.  This Mallard duck is huge, measuring 3-1/2 inches. Looks Art Deco from the 1930's with his enamel and rhinestones. He's in such perfect condition that I would say he is either a reproduction or old, new stock. The later is probably more likely since the duck figural brooches were not as popular a motif as others, and it also has a nice weight to it that a reproduction would not have. Book value $95.  This choker is very unusual. I've not seen anything like it before. I doubt it's American made, maybe Japanese. The only mark is SILVER on the back hook, which fits inside a fish body (tiny chip on one side of body enamel). There are three enamel fish and four solid silver beads in the front. Each of the fish, which measure 9/16 of an inch, have a black eye on both sides, white tail and fins and show scales under the orange body enameling. The silver chain is probably vermeil (gold plate), as it looks gold. Super neat little piece. Estimated book value $60.  With the square coin, this is a Dutch Curacao 5 cents piece. The frame and key chain is well done, not crude like many such items made in the 1950's. It's not silver though, and neither is the coin. Still a nice Netherlands Antilles key chain with a sweet setting.

Figural Enamel and Rhinestone Duck Brooc $12.00

  

Unusual Silver and Enamel Fish Choker $19.00

  

Antilles Square Coin Key Chain $10.00
I've seen a couple of these with painted souvenir Florida logos on them. This one has no signs that it ever was painted in such a way, but was probably the same type of jewelry from the 1950's. The body of the sword fish is reverse carved dark apple juice Bakelite that creates the scales. The head is ringed in bright rhinestones with a red cabochon eye. It looks like it may be sterling although it is not marked as such. The pin back is brass. It's a super nice pin for the Bakelite enthusiast. Book value $225.  Vintage Coro Faux Pearl and Rhinestone Flower Brooch. Signed with the early Coro mark with no copyright symbol. Likely from the early 1950s, it has a delicate 3-tiered design of small flowers grouped to make the larger flower form. Brooch measures 2'' in diameter and 3/4'' tall. All stones are intact, no metal wear and locking clasp works well.  Beautiful Victorian brooch, Top is gold filled and showing extensive engravings, charming cottage water or lake behind it, sun coming out, showing above the water, ship with sails, birds, hills etc, Measuring approximately 2 1/2 x 1/2 inch.  Beautiful antique earrings, made from antique tribal beads in this case turquoise colour, carved beads, Very classy and traditional, beautiful colour and detail, Each measures approximately 1 3/4 inches long.

Vintage with retro design typical of 1940s-50s, 14K (marked) yellow gold, platinum with 4 very small diamonds(1 is loose in its setting, 1 is missing). Has been tested by a professional jeweler. I don't know the size, it measures 5/8 in. across, 5/8 in. high for the finger, top is 3/4 in. long x 3/8 in. wide x 1/8 in. high. The diamond settings are star shaped. I've had this for many years and simply have not worn it much. I would like to see it go to an appreciative home as it has a lot of sentimental value to me. Not being offered as a scrap item. A truly elegant piece easily restored. Free US shipping with insurance.  This is a retro or vintage ladies 14kt yellow gold ring with a 4 prong set genuine Chinese apple green jade oval cabuchon. The stone measures 12 mm high by 9 mm wide or .5 inch by 3/8ths inch approximately. The ring is size 4 1/4. The ring comes from a San Francisco estate and was made by an unknown USA maker 1950-1960s. The ring is in excellent condition and a lovely color.  This is a beautiful all hand made English 9 carat gold figural wreath pin or brooch with 5 genuine full cut hand set diamonds, 5 genuine faceted hand set emeralds and 18 genuine half seed pearls set in hand made 9 kt gold leaves made in England 1940-1950s. The delicate wreath is .75 inch in diameter and is truly a small work of art. The pin is in excellent condition with the exception of a repair made at some time to the roll catch on the back. A lovely little thing.  One of the most popular categories in figural costume jewelry is the face pin. This Japanese pin is gold-plated porcelain with hand painted features. Using a gold finish was popular on china products and rarely marked. They used 14kt and 18kt gold in the process. I can't be certain which this is. When my Uncle was posted in Japan in the 50's, this was the type of souvenir stuff he brought home for us kids. Estimated book value $150. Condition: There are only two tiny surface chips to the finish; otherwise it's in very good condition.
