Precious Rhinestone Cherry Pin
Forget the Price ~ MAKE AN OFFER! Prices listed are book value only. Don't be shy, this is your chance before this jewelry leaves store inventory, you tell me what you are willing to pay to make it yours.
The moment I spotted this stupendous pin I knew it was special. I finally came across a piece like it that was marked Butler & Wilson. Fruit and vegetable jewelry has become a tough category to find, as there are so many collectors out there, and I know the minute I sell this I'll be sorry I did. In any case I can't keep it all, and I have to leave some of the nice pieces for you, right?
This clump of cherries depicts three stages of ripeness from red to blush. At a close look, the stones are fantastic on this piece and all original. Book value of $95.

A very small sample of this type of work is in one of my price guides for $70. I recently saw a collection of these big Native American bracelets, with one like this in reverse stone colors for $800.

Victorian Iron Umbrella Stand/Fireplace Utensil Stand
Forget the Price ~ MAKE AN OFFER! Prices listed are book value only. Don't be shy, this is your chance before this jewelry leaves store inventory, you tell me what you are willing to pay to make it yours.
The antique dealer I purchased this from years ago was not sure what this originally was and she was as old as the piece, so please excuse my ignorance. I bought this to use as an umbrella stand but I do think it is a Victorian fireplace utensil stand. I don't know anything about these obviously, but this one is marked with a W and an 8, and 21 on the base. The number 21 is also present on the shaft and top ring holder. I think this is the original finish as well. It' a very elegant stand, and over the years I have put it to various uses including a necklace rack.
If my husband can get it apart, I can mail this USPS Flat Rate for $8.95, otherwise it will be more for postage.

This is a very interesting piece of oriental silver. A Japanese Sumo is wrestling a beautiful women which appear to represent good and evil. The pin back has a tube hinge with the pin point (still VERY sharp)stretching beyond the the pin; placing it from the early 1800s. It appears to have had a gold wash over some areas that is now very faint. There is a stamp on the back that I have not been able to identify. Book value $175.

Lavender and Pink Czech Rhinestone Set
Forget the Price ~ MAKE AN OFFER! Prices listed are book value only. Don't be shy, this is your chance before this jewelry leaves store inventory, you tell me what you are willing to pay to make it yours.
We just returned home from an antique show we did on the coast and found a number of dealers had similar sets from Czechoslovakia. From what I found out from them and other dealers, these are coming into the U.S. from old stock in Europe and people seem to be going nuts over them. They are unfinished in the sense that at the time of manufacturing the soldering marks were not finished over before going into storage. This only shows from the back of course and is otherwise in excellent new vintage condition. Note that the earrings hang toward the neck, and is not noticeable on them either when worn.
It is hard to capture the true size by photo, however, the clip earrings are 2-5/8" long with the lavender marbleized stone being 3/4 of an inch across; and the hot pink stones are an unusual triangle shaped. The necklace is an adjustable 19-1/2 inches in length. Book value $375.

Austrian Forbidden Fruit Pin in Green and White
Forget the Price ~ MAKE AN OFFER! Prices listed are book value only. Don't be shy, this is your chance before this jewelry leaves store inventory, you tell me what you are willing to pay to make it yours.
I just love the fruit pieces of costume jewelry, especially the Forbidden Fruit made in Austria in the 1950's. They are really under priced in the reference guides as hard as they are to find, and as high as they sell for. This one is in very good condition with minimal wear to the enameled leaves, and bright lively lime green rhinestones. The grapes are cream colored early plastic. Book value $150.

Art Nouveau Poppies in Sterling Cloisonne
Forget the Price ~ MAKE AN OFFER! Prices listed are book value only. Don't be shy, this is your chance before this jewelry leaves store inventory, you tell me what you are willing to pay to make it yours.
This is a delightful example of the relatively hard to find enameled Art Nouveau piece. This pin, done in the popular poppy motif, is English made in the mid 1920's. Completely hallmarked "Genuine Cloisonné with the English crown, W.S. Sterling". It is in fantastic condition with only a pin head prick of enamel missing along the outer ridge that is not noticeable unless examined closely; which I have tried to show in a close up view. The pin does not have the same black patina that the back does, but it does not look as if it had been replaced. Cleaning is left up to the new owner (there is some glue residue on the back from an old price tag). Vivid colors of peach, green, and white give the look of a spring garden. Book value $225 - tell me what you want to pay to bring it home. Forget the Price ~ MAKE AN OFFER!

This hand pin has lovely long figures with the nails painted red. There is no chipping; wish my nail polish would last so long! It's adorned with a ring and bracelet of metal and paste stones.

This early piece of celluloid is found in the reference books. Rather crudely made, I doubt the manufacturers ever dreamed these pins would be selling at the prices they do now.

Over the top Judy Lee set that looks like moon rock. The minute I spotted this set I scooped it up to bring home. I have rarely seen such an unusual set - well, I guess you can tell I'm impressed by the way I'm carrying on. Both brooch and clip earrings are in two tiers. The dark blue glass center pieces are accentuated with sprays of Aurora Borealis stones. The brooch is almost 2-1/2" and the earrings almost 1-1/2 inch. Excellent, un-used condition.

Figural Mother-of-Pearl Turtle Pin
Forget the Price ~ MAKE AN OFFER! Prices listed are book value only. Don't be shy, this is your chance before this jewelry leaves store inventory, you tell me what you are willing to pay to make it yours.
Figural pins have always been popular. The turtles were big sellers back in the early part of the 1960's. This one is not the norm, however, with its mother-of-pearl back stone. The brass plated body has lovely etching and his eyes are red rhinestones. He could use a bath to bring out more sparkle, but other than that he's in excellent condition.

Huge Schiaparelli Watermelon Earrings
Forget the Price ~ MAKE AN OFFER! Prices listed are book value only. Don't be shy, this is your chance before this jewelry leaves store inventory, you tell me what you are willing to pay to make it yours.
These Schiaparelli earrings come from one of the more widely know sets. The huge stones in the earrings were only duplicated as a single drop from a rhinestone bracelet, and the necklace only had the small rhinestones.
They are so large, I couldn't get both of them into a close-up frame shot. I leave cleaning up to the new owners, and I can see by the close-ups these would look even better after a light bath. They were worn often by the original owner, as they deserve to be, as you can tell from the plate loss to the backs. There is also a small chip on one of the facets, but nothing that will hinder the loads of comments you are bound to receive when wearing them. Book value $225. Forget the Price ~ MAKE AN OFFER!

Total Brass Rhinestone Choker and Earring Set
Forget the Price ~ MAKE AN OFFER! Prices listed are book value only. Don't be shy, this is your chance before this jewelry leaves store inventory, you tell me what you are willing to pay to make it yours.
I have never seen a rhinestone choker like this one. I do LOVE to say that, as it is my goal to bring you unique, special pieces. It is made of brass, which in itself is not unusual, as they frequently were but then always plated. On this necklace even the sockets on the complete chain are brass, both bottoms and sides, with no evidents of plating wear, suggesting it was never plated. It is an old piece from the 30's and measures 14 inches. The stones are sharp and twinkling, with only one starting to show signs of darkening. Book value $200. Forget the Price ~ MAKE AN OFFER! Don't be shy, this is your chance before this jewelry leaves store inventory, you tell me what you are willing to pay to make it yours.
The earrings are clips and are 1-2/8" across and are more recent, dating to the late 50's. The rhinestones are enough to blind a person! - and are set on a filigree backing and glued into sockets. If you want to shine, this set will accomplish your goal. Book value $200.
