Hit me like a ton of bricks anyway - the MS always slams me when the seasons change. Oh well. Anyone out finding anything good lately? Or anything really bad? Keep the pictures smaller to speed loading, and as always no live auction stuff.
Three pieces I've been meaning to list for a while. The necklace and blue butterfly are D&E. The Trifari piece has been sitting here and staring at me for the better part of a year. I took one look at the prices they're going for and decided it goes up next month!
I had some fun today.
Found a nice black signed Sherman necklace and will be going back tomorrow to buy the bracelet which unfortunately is not signed but is a match.
Love these coral earrings. They are quite large (1/2" round).
Here is an 18k white gold Art Deco ring I have had for a while.
It has a synthetic sapphire with a small diamond.
Beautiful pieces 💙
I found this today at the Village on the regular Jewelry Wall. D&E usually goes in the Case with the Sherman. Anywho, it's another different fancy design, this time with scooped stones.
Holy mackerel! ev, that Trifari butterfly is a knock out! Are the green stones flawed emeralds? arlene, I'm a sucker for synthetic stones in settings like your ring. Love that age and look of jewelry from that era. OCN, you sure were the big winner today! Bravo for spotting it! Seems it was hiding under a "cone of invisibility" until you came along. That's what I call a terrific find that's been sitting in plain sight but no on seems to see it but me. Ha! Here's a couple non jewelry things I picked up this weekend.
Glass seed beads and faux pearls. Made in France for John Wannamaker:
A cool millefiori paperweight. Is it supposed to be a Christmas tree?:
Signed Marvella set I sold a while ago:
OCN, if you have time maybe you could post a few more pics of the stones in that brooch?
Here are a few more finds from the past week.
Purple theme for some reason. Which reminds me, has anyone been in touch with Allison (Thirry) lately?
I miss seeing her here.
This ring has some age, maybe 1960s? The stone is the vivid "colour change sapphire". Grown in a lab but lovely nevertheless. It tests as sapphire but is definitely synthetic.
I picked up the bracelet but now think it is not a match. Oh well. Another unsigned bracelet to go in my stash. LOL.
When I got home this was waiting for me in the mail.
I have been chomping at the bit waiting for it to arrive because I thought it might be special ... it was described by the seller as a costume cameo done in glass from the 1960s.
To my eye it looked very good, excellent carving.
Back of brooch tells the story.
Circa 1910.
