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. |

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.

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. |

*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. |

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. |

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

*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. |

*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. |

from your ears. All have dimensional touches and a scattering of glitter
embedded in the enamel finish. These earrings are a mixture of

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 |

*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. |

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 |

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. |

AT THE RITZ* "SALT & PEPPER" SCOTTIE EARRINGS: A retired pair of

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.
