JJ244	MEXICO “MOONFACE” EARRINGS: The Man in the Moon has always been exotic and intriguing. These sleeping faces make you wonder what they are dreaming about. (c. 1990) The resin (not plastic) faces are bezel set in wide silver surrounds. The moons are set high in the sloping silver circles. At the top of each face sits a pale amethyst stone, tranquil and at peace as night passes. These are clip earrings with padded backs. Hallmarks read “925” (Sterling Silver), “TF-32”, “Mexico”. The sleepy eyelids will open when the sun arises and a new day will begin. I find them to be at their most beautiful asleep, keeping the secrets of the night. Condition: Excellent. Size: Large with some weight. The Sterling Silver settings are 1 3/4" in diameter, 5/8” deep. Moon face is 1” in diameter.	$100.00
JJ243	ALEXIS BITTAR SATIN FINISH LUCITE RING: Contemporary designer, Alexis Bittar, creates these hand-carved satiny Lucite pieces that seem to glow from within. The inside of this silvery ring has been painted with shinning gold which produces the glow. A tiny 3-dimensional gold bug sits on the side of this domed ring. The ring tapers nicely for a smooth comfortable fit. Ring size 7. Purchased at Saks in NYC. A cool and contemporary look for your finger. Condition: Excellent. Bittar suede bag included. Size: Ring size 7. Dome in 1/2” high, tapers to 1/4" at back. Gold bug is 1/4”.	$65.00
JJ245	RARE VINTAGE SIGNED SIAM STERLING PIN / BROOCH: From my personal collection I have selected this rare vintage Siamese Peacock Pin. The background is white enamel with royal blue and iridescent turquoise “eyes” on the fanned out tail feathers. His body is white with a turquoise band at his neck. The peacock face, beak and feet are in relief. What is really extraordinary is that the full tail feathers are hinged so that he can be stood up as if he were on parade, attempting to attract the attention of a lady peahen. If she glances his way those tail feathers will rise up providing a grand display of his male finery! White peacocks are extremely rare. Siam had its name changed to Thailand in 1939. The silversmith work of Siamese and/or Thai jewelry is special and appealing. On the back of this piece is the hallmark “Siam” and “Sterling”, along with a safety clasp pin closure. This beautiful bird has been with me for at least 40 years and is obviously much older than that. A rare and beautiful catch for a collector – or the start of a collection. You can’t beat this price! Condition: Excellent. Size: Medium. 2” high, 1 1/4" wide, 3/4" deep.	$65.00
JJ242	GIVENCHY SILVER TASSEL EARRINGS: A designer with impeccable taste, Givenchy always produces a classic collection with a contemporary twist. All eyes will be on you when you toss your head and these silver tassel earrings cast their spell. Silver clip-on disks, bear a stylized version of the four “G” Givenchy logo. (The ear clips are padded for comfort.) A coil of faux rope allows a cascade of 42 fine chain tassels to flow like a waterfall at each ear. The tassels are articulated and swing whey you move. The inside is hallmarked with the square of four G’s surrounded with “Paris, New York, Givenchy”. Soft and sexy, these are a classic pair of earrings that will take you from day to night. Condition: Excellent. Include original card. Size: Long. From top of disk to end of tassel 3 1/2", faux rope coil 3/4" in diameter.	$45.00
JJ246	*VINTAGE LARGE TRIFARI* POODLE PIN / BROOCH:** What a great find! A 1950’s Alfred Phillipe Trifari gold tone poodle pin. This is a face to love. The contrast of matte and shiny gold tufts of hair make her fuchsia pink cabochon eyes stand out beautifully. A large and thick piece, this poodle is a knock-out. Trifari has long been recognized as a high quality jewelry designer, producing classic designs that are now being reissued. The pin back has a safety clasp and is hallmarked “Trifari”. Condition: Excellent. Size: 1 3/4” high, 1 1/2” wide, 7/8” deep at the muzzle.	$15.00
JJ234	*VINTAGE RICHARD KERR* RHINESTONE EARRINGS:** Dance the night away in these spectacular pierced earrings by designer Richard Kerr. R.K. is well known for the quality and colors that are used in his jewelry. These long dangling Triangle Earrings are pavé-set with white, jet black and topaz rhinestones. Although these earrings are vintage, they could not be more stylish with the jungle look spotted leopard design. Each of the three triangles is linked together so that they move independently. These exotic earrings are for pierced ears and each one carries the distinctive Richard Kerr oval trademark. The backs of the earrings are black. Sadly, the company is no longer in business. Photos cannot do justice to the flash and sparkle of the earrings. You’ll go wild for these beauties! Condition: Excellent. No missing stones. Lightweight and comfortable. Size: 3 1/2" long, 1 1/4" wide, each triangle is 1/8” deep.	$85.00
JJ235	*RETIRED VINTAGE LUNCH AT THE RITZ* “CANINE CLUSTER” PIN / PENDANT:** A dream come true for Bulldog lovers! This retired LATR “Canine Cluster” Pin/Pendant features a fierce bulldog, complete with spiked collar. His head is 3-dimensional and he stands upon a black heart sprinkled with iridescent glitter. Of course we know bulldogs really are sweethearts. A cluster of other dogs and fun things for dogs dangle from the heart. Here we go; four dogs – beagle, dachshund, schnauzer and cocker spaniel – are represented. The “fun things” include a slipper, three different dog collars, a bone and a newspaper, Austrian crystals, Czechoslovakian glass, resins and brass topped with a thick coating of 24 KT gold electroplate put this pin in the winner’s circle. The back has a pendant bale as well as a safety clasp pin back. Wear it around your neck or pinned on a jacket. Impossible to ignore. Gurrr-ate! Condition: Excellent. Menu card included. Size: Total length including dangles 4”, 2 1/2" wide. Heart at top is 1 1/4" wide.	$210.00
JJ237	DIAN MALOUF IVORY, STERLING & 14KT GOLD RING: If you love Dian Malouf jewelry – and who doesn’t – this is a very unusual ring. I purchased two separate rings that I liked as a set, but when I wore them they kept moving around on my finger. The solution was to have the two rings soldered together. Now they are always in position and, Voila!, I have created a unique Malouf ring. The top ring is Sterling Silver with a serene face hand carved from Ivory. The bottom narrow band is set with three rectangular pieces of Ivory. (All of the Ivory pieces are bezel set in 14KT Gold.) Of course, each of the intricate design patterns is visible from all angles. The current ring size is 6 1/2. All Dian Malouf pieces are marked “Dian Malouf” and “925”. When I had the two rings put together and sized, the Malouf hallmark plate was removed. Immediately recognized as a Malouf design, this chic and unique ring will take you from the office to dinner in a heartbeat. Nothing seems to say extravagance like a Malouf ring – a perfect gift for yourself! Condition: Excellent. The blue & silver Dian Malouf pouch is included. Size: Ring is 1 5/8” high, back of band is 3/8” wide. The Ivory face sits 1/2" above your finger. The current ring size is 6 1/2. It can be sized at the back.	$400.00
JJ233	AMY KAHN RUSSELL LEAF PIN / PENDANT: In a class all her own, AKR jewelry is always vibrant and exciting. Using unusual mixes of stones and minerals, many of her creations have a strong ethnic element. This earth inspired pendant combines a large hand carved leaf of crazy lace agate and accent stones of jasper, carnelian and citrine – all set in Sterling Silver. A wide Sterling bale makes it suitable for a nice silver chain, neck wire or omega necklace if you prefer. The pin back has a safety clasp and, as is her custom, the back is hallmarked “Sterling” and “AKR”. The colors are wonderful for all seasons, but spectacular for Autumn. Make your own fashion statement with this beautiful Pendant. Condition: Excellent. Size: 2 1/8” long, 1 1/2" wide, 1/4” deep.	$110.00
JJ189	*RETIRED LUNCH AT THE RITZ* “WALKING THE DOG” EARRINGS ( Pug Dog Jewelry ):** This retired design is called “Walking The Dog” and has clip backs for comfort. Mirror images, the top triangle shows an elegantly gloved hand holding a black leash with three high society pups ready to step out. A rhinestone collared Pug dog looks doubtfully at the leash. Suspended on chains, hand enameled Poodles, Pugs and Yorkshire Terriers cascade down from your ears. All have dimensional touches and a scattering of glitter embedded in the enamel finish. These earrings are a mixture of rhinestones, crystals, resin and a thick coating of 24 KT gold electroplate. Earring backs bear the LATR Hallmark Logo. Menu card included. LUNCH AT THE RITZ Earrings are the epitome of glamour and glitz. Bon Appetit! Condition: Excellent. Size: 3 1/2” long, 2” wide. Triangle clip top is 1 1/2” wide.	$225.00
JJ231	VINTAGE STERLING SILVER SCARAB NECKLACE: From my personal collection I am offering this exotic Egyptian themed Sterling Silver Necklace. Scarabs were used in ancient Egypt as a talisman of the soul – and in Egyptian hieroglyphics stood as a symbol of the solar deity. Purchased in the 70’s, there are three open winged beautifully rendered sacred scarab beetles with luscious colored amethyst and garnet beads placed on both sides of each scarab. The silver chain closes with a barrel screw clasp. The wonder and mystery of Egypt never looses its appeal. Always chic and always desired. You will feel like a goddess touched by the magic embodied in these powerful ancient symbols. Condition: Excellent. Size: 14” long, it lies at the base of your neck. Each scarab is 1 1/2” wide, 3/4" high.	$75.00
JJ224	AMY KAHN RUSSELL FROG EARRINGS: From my personal collection I have selected this scarce and delightful pair of hand carved black frog clip back earrings. I have a passion for frogs and the fact that they are disappearing by the millions is a reality too immense to even consider. These plump frogs have been carved from Tiger’s Eye. They have a silky sheen in the carved areas. If you look closely, you can see hints of brown in the back areas. Obviously, Tiger’s Eye comes in many colors. The faceted triangular at the bottom are cut from Norwegian Moonstone and you can see glints of blue within the stones. (Photos can’t capture the elusive colors hidden within.) The earrings are set in Sterling Silver and have clip backs. These froggies are hallmarked “AKR”, “Sterling”. They are on the original card including the tag listing the stones. Amy Russell says “I like to keep it interesting” and that is what she does, one beautifully exquisite ornament at a time. Celebrity collectors keep her in the limelight. You have to agree that these earrings deserve to light up your collection! Condition: Excellent. Size: Large for AKR - 1 1/2" high, 1 1/4" wide, 1/4" deep.	$80.00
JJ178	VINTAGE RED, WHITE & BLUE ANCHOR PIN / BROOCH: This vintage patriotic Anchor Pin is a real treasure! (c. 1944) It is set with red, white and blue opaque stones set in silver tone metal. Take a look at the photo of the back – the entire piece is metal, not like so much of today’s costume jewelry. The stem of the anchor is flexible so that the whole piece is free swinging from the safety pin clasp at the top on down. This pin is from my personal collection of anchors. Anchors have historically represented “hope” as seen in all of the “faith, hope & charity” jewelry prominent in Georgian and Victorian periods. This being a WWII vintage pin, it would have held special meaning to the woman who wore it! A wonderful patriotic pin for special holidays and the perfect accessory for cruise wear. Dynamite on a white jacket! Condition: Excellent. No stones missing. Size: 3 1/2" long, 2 3/8” wide.	$110.00
JJ211	*VINTAGE CHIPITA* BLACK & GOLD EARRINGS:** I have worn Chipita Earrings for many years. Some were purchased in Santa Fe, Tucson and here in San Antonio. They never fail to elicit compliments from both men and women. (Where did you get those?) This elegant pair of clip-on Chipitas can go from day to night glamour. The top circle is half matte black and half glossy black, with tiny black seed beads on the matte side and old gold beads on the glossy side. The dangles consist of black and burnished gold metal, art glass and Austrian crystals. This is a mirror image pair so you can wear the black or gold side near your face. As with all Chipita Earrings, these are hand stitched on a leather background. The padded clip backs are hallmarked “Chipita” and these beauties were purchased in the late ‘80’s. Quality like this is seldom seen and has not been duplicated. Condition: Excellent. Size: 3 1/2" log, approximately 1 1/2" wide when hanging, 3/4" deep.	$85.00
JJ216	LUNCH AT THE RITZ "SALT & PEPPER" SCOTTIE EARRINGS: A retired pair of Scottie Earrings for pierced ears. One is white & one is black. Both have gold bows & red Scottish plaid jackets on. These little pups have an iridescent glitter in their coats. They are made of 24KT Gold electroplate with hypo-allergenic posts. They each have the “LUNCH AT THE RITZ” hallmark on the back. Highly coveted by collectors, these stylish Scotties add glamour and glitz to your ears. Condition: Excellent. Menu card is included. Size: 1 1/8” wide, 1" high.	$70.00
