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. |

*MARY
CARTER HANCOCK* “WINGS OF FIRE” RAVEN PIERCED EARRINGS: These large
soaring black Raven Earrings are part of the “Wings of Fire” collection
by designer Mary Carter Hancock. The ravens are made from molded black
horn – all horn items are made by this process. The birds are seen
soaring through Sterling Silver circles marked “925”. The mystical
nature of these birds is enhanced by the use of faceted “Mystic Fire”
Topaz stones, reflecting red, green, violet and blue streaks. (This
color is achieved by coating the stone with a fine layer of metal
atoms.) These pierced earrings have comfortable circular plastic disc
backs. Native American mythological gives great spiritual importance to
these large black birds. Magical and mystical, these striking earrings
can’t help being noticed as they frame your face. They are light weight
and you will love wearing such beautiful and unusual earrings.
Condition: Excellent
Size: Each Sterling Silver circle is 1 1/4"in diameter, horn ravens have
a 2” wing span. |

Fire” Topaz. This faceted stone has red, green, violet and blue streaks.
(This color is achieved by coating the stone with a fine layer of metal
atoms.) There is a generous pendant hook on the back. Native American
mythological gives great spiritual importance to these large black

*DONNA
KARAN NEW YORK* FAUX BAKELITE BANGLE: I have enjoyed wearing this
Donna Karan bangle mixed with my true Vintage Bakelite bangle for years.
Designed to mimic hand carved bakelite, it is the perfect way to add a
touch of matte gold to your stack of colored bangles. The initials
“DKNY” are featured in one section of the bangle. Wear in alone or mixed
with other bracelets. It adds “POW” to your arm. It looks very regal
with black or cool and classy worn with white or pearl bangles. This is
one you won’t see again so grab it now!
Condition: Excellent
Size: 1” wide, 2 5/8” inner opening, 3/8” deep. |

*AMY
KAHN RUSSELL* PIN / PENDANT: In a class all of her own, AKR jewelry
is always vibrant and exciting. Choosing unusual mixes of stones and
minerals, her color choices are always delightful and striking. In this
original design pin/pendant the magic of blue weaves a spell that brings
images of cool water and ocean breezes. The top two stones are pyritized
Drusy – their wonderful texture on full display. The top one is
particularly fascinating. Though blue on front viewing, it turns to
violet on side viewing and to green on edge viewing. We have tried to
show that in our photos, but it is much more dramatic on live viewing.
The bottom stones are faceted blue and cognac topaz. All stones are
bezel set. AKR designs are marked “Sterling” and “AKR”. The pin back has
a safety catch and a bale suitable for a good sized chain or neck wire.
This pin is valued at $280 retail. Sure to give your wardrobe a jolt of
fashionable glamour.
Condition: Excellent. Chain is not included.
Size: Total length is 2 1/2”, 7/8” wide, 1/4” deep. |

VINTAGE
EXOTIC NUBIAN FACE BRACELET: My guess is that this antiqued silver
tone link bracelet is from the 1950’s. It is a fine example of the
Hollywood style of exotic faces from exotic places. Three detailed
Nubian faces feature turban-like headdresses and dangling hoop earrings.
Two of the links have faux carnelian deep rust rectangular insets with
pearl surrounds. All of the links are framed in a twisted rope setting
and there is a snap box closure. This stylized exotic type jewelry
brings to mind sultans & harems, Arabian Nights, the Thief of Baghdad
and Tales of Scheherazade. Pure fantasy and fun. My mother used to wear
a bracelet like this and I thought it was the most glamorous thing in
the world!
Condition: Excellent. Small pearls show some wear.
Size: Full length when clasped is 6 3/4". This will fit a small wrist.
My wrist, over the bone, is 6 1/2" and it fits me perfectly. Each link
is 1 5/8” high, 1” wide, 3/8” deep. |

*CHIPITA* JASPER EARRINGS: I wear a lot of Chipita earrings and
they never fail to elicit compliments. This clip-on pair is made of art
glass, Austrian crystals, metal dangles and set at the ear with lovely
squares of Jasper. The metal abstract shapes are a matte brown tone and
the jasper is a deep chocolate brown with flecks of black. Accent beads
are brown, bronze, deep red and greenish yellow. As with all Chipita
earrings, these are hand stitched on a leather background. The clip
backs are hallmarked “Chipita” and these beauties were purchased in the
late 1980’s. Brown continues to make a strong fashion statement and
these earrings look great with green, blue, crème and even black. Step
out in the timeless style of dangling earrings. Women want them and men
love ‘em!
Condition: Excellent. These are clip earrings.
Size: 3 1/2” long, Jasper squares 3/4”. |

*ZEKE &
MARTY* STERLING SILVER RING: I love the ethnic inspired work of
these two Texas jewelers and bought this unique hand crafted ring from
Zeke & Marty at a craft show in Dallas about 10 years ago. A multi -
layered large and dramatic ring, it uses the technique of oxidized steel
to provide the brown surface behind the antique carnelian bead at the
center. A wonderful design in Sterling Silver that mixes a contemporary
look with African tribal influences. Easy to wear, the wide ring band
currently fits a ring size 8. It can be sized. The back is signed “Z &
M, SS”. Zeke & Marty say “Our work is the materialization of our
imaginations.” It couldn’t be more true. Condition: Excellent. Size:
Ring face is 1 1/2” high, 1 1/4” wide, 1/2” deep. Ring band is 3/8”
wide. Ring size is 8. Remember that a wide band fits a bit tighter that
a narrow band so you 7 ½ ladies will be fine. |

JASPER, DRUSY & SMOKED TOPAZ PENDANT: Very much in the style of
“Amy Kahn Russell” and “Echo Of The Dreamer”, this Sterling Silver
pendant will delight you with its elegant fall colors. The mottled brown
Jasper has a rich milk chocolate brown piece of Drusy under it and a
faceted bezel set Smoked Topaz drop suspended from its center. All made
of Sterling Silver, the wide bale at the top will accommodate a thick
chain, neck ring or an omega necklace. The textures and detail make this
pendant a pleasure to hold, touch and wear. It is fabulous on a
multitude of warm and cool colors. A design piece that shows wonderful
character and fine workmanship. Condition: Excellent. Size: 3 3/4” long
including bale, 1 1/2” wide, 1/4” deep. Drusy portion is 1 1/2” long,
suspended topaz is 5/8” long. |

*AMY KAHN RUSSELL* FROG BRACELET: I love frogs! You will see
several items from my frog jewelry collection being posted in the
future. This delightful AKR bracelet will bring a smile to your face
every time you look at these amazing tiny creatures. Six hand carved
bone froggies, embellished with green body details and jet black eyes,
will keep you entertained. The frogs are all bezel set in Sterling
Silver and hallmarked “AKR”, “Sterling”. The six pieces are held
together by ring links so that the bracelet is flexible and easy to
wear. There is a toggle & ring closure – much easier to put on alone
than the spring ring style fastener. Frogs are disappearing from the
earth, so grab these guys. Condition: Excellent. Size: 7” in length,
each frog is 1 1/2” high, 1” wide. Will fit a medium wrist. My wrist is
6 1/2” over the bone and it fits me perfectly. Remember that you must
have some slack to fasten the toggle. |

VINTAGE CHARM BRACELET OF SEMI-PRECIOUS STONES: When I was young,
the dreaded “car trip” came with every summer. One year, when I was
about 12, we “did” the West in 9 days. It remains a blur except for the
fact that at every stop I purchased these beautiful nuggets that my mom
made into a very special charm bracelet. I was the envy of all my female
schoolmates. There are 20 different nuggets in all, including –
bloodstone, rock crystal, unakite, tiger’s eye, amethyst, carnelian,
jasper, agate and obsidian (also called “Apache tears”). I just don’t
remember all of the others, but each one was chosen after great
deliberation. “Can’t you hurry up?” The chain link bracelet is gold
filled and has a fold over clasp. The bracelet is light and comfortable.
Fifty years later I realize that I was on my way to becoming a jewelry
diva at 12! Mixing colors, textures and memories – this nugget bracelet
is indeed charming! Condition: Excellent. One tiny chip was all I could
see after examining each stone. Size: Bracelet length is 7”, stones
average 1 1/4” long. |

ceramic jungle cat face pin is a small work of art by Colorado artist
Sean Brown. Each design is hand cut from clay. The piece is then hand
painted, glazed, overglazed with 22 Karat gold and fired multiple times.

VINTAGE *FLORENZA* BUTTERFLY “TREMBLER” BROOCH / PIN: In 1950
Daniel Kosoff opened the “Florenza” Jewelry Company. Florenza was well
known for the use of frosted and “aurora borealis” rhinestones. This
sumptuous butterfly brooch is a symphony in tones of purple, pink and
blue “aurora borealis” prong set stones. (c. 1960) The body is formed by
a pink frosted oval rhinestone and a navette cut lavender rhinestone.
The wings of this butterfly are known “tremblers”, a piece of jewelry
that has parts set on a spring and the spring-set parts of the wings
move as you move. The wings flutter and make it appear as though this
bejeweled beauty is about to take flight. The back of the butterfly has
an antique silver-tone effect and is marked “Florenza©”. There is a
safety clasp closure and you and clearly see the springs. Sadly,
Florenza stopped producing jewelry in 1981. But this captivating
butterfly survives to fascinate us with its shimmering colors and
movement. Condition: Excellent. Tiny wear on the frosted pink stone
where wings tremble. Not visible with the naked eye. Size: 1 ¾” high, 2
¾” wide. |
