*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. |
$140.00 |

*STARFIRE* JADE AND STERLING SILVER
PENDANT: Each Starfire design is truly “one of a kind”, created by
hand, using vintage semi-precious stones. This vintage circular Jade
carving has been set in Sterling Silver wire. The frame has been created
by wrapping 10 silver wires around the jade carving until they form a
solid silver mounting. The large silver bale is also formed by hand,
using wire and beads. I purchased this Starfire Pendant at a trunk show
some years ago. A true treasure of the orient, meticulously crafted and
elegant in its simplicity. Condition: Excellent. Original card included. Size: 3 3/8” long, jade carving is 2 1/4” in diameter, 3/8” deep. |
$50.00 |

*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. | $125.00 |

*LUNCH AT THE RITZ* CALLA LILY EARRINGS: Glamour & Glitz from Lunch At The Ritz! These spectacular retired clip earrings titled “Lily Whites” were made when LATR was producing its most complex and lavish pieces.

KARAN NEW YORK* FAUX BAKELITE BANGLE: I have enjoyed wearing this

“DKNY” are featured in one section of the bangle. Wear in alone or mixed

*LUNCH AT THE RITZ* COMEDY & TRAGEDY THEATRE MASK EARRINGS: Glamour and glitz from Lunch At The Ritz!

(c. 1995) One earring features a black enamel tragedy mask and black glove with white roses and “Bravo” written on it, while the other earring displays a white comedy mask and white glove with gold stars and “Act One” written on it. Both earrings have torn ticket stubs and miniature folded playbills that read “SMASH HIT!!” inside.

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. | $40.00 |

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. | $65.00 |

*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”. |

VINTAGE SIGNED STERLING EGYPTIAN REVIVAL PIN/BROOCH / PENDANT: This amazing Egyptian Pin/Pendant has been in my personal collection since the 70’s. The impact of the “TUT” exhibitions has had a strong influence on jewelry – and why not? It’s in the best of taste. This portrait is of the goddess Hathor – worshipped by all Egyptian women. Hathor was the Egyptian mother goddess and the protector of pregnant women. Her headdress was a solar disk resting between horns. This beautifully rendered brooch is stamped “Sterling” and has a hallmark that is indiscernible – possibly “IMIA”. The deep gold color is achieved by gold plating a thin layer of gold over the silver. The vertical pin back has a safety clasp and also a pendant slide. I almost always wore it as a pendant on an interesting chain. Egyptian Revival jewelry has grown in popularity since the opening of Tut’s tomb in 1922 and the US King Tut Exhibition Tours of 1977 and more recently in 2007. It shows no sign of slowing down! Condition: Excellent. Size: 2 5/8” high, 1 1/8” wide. | $40.00 |

*MARTHA PRENTISS* VINTAGE ANGELSKIN CORAL RING: I had this gorgeous hand carved Angelskin coral rose custom mounted in a ring setting about 30 years ago. As I requested, jeweler Martha Prentiss did a beautiful job of featuring the rose without exposing hardly any of the setting. Set in a Sterling Silver claw mount, four Sterling curved round bands meet at the shoulders to form a simple shank. The color of the deeply carved rose is a light pink with deeper pink accents. I wore it on my little finger and it never failed to make an impression when I moved my hands. The current ring size is a 5 1/2. (The band can be made larger if you have a good jeweler.) The ring back is hallmarked “MP”. This is a very large piece of angelskin coral which has become very scarce. Condition: Excellent. Size: Ring size is a 5 1/2. Coral rose is 2” high, 1” wide, 5/8” deep. Ring band at back is 1/4” wide. | $125.00 |

*MONIES* BOLD RESIN & GOLD STRETCH BRACELET: Gerda and Nicolai Monies are an internationally known design team from Denmark who create spectacular jewelry. This incredible resin and gold flecked bracelet illustrates Gerda’s philosophy that jewelry should be big, bold and provocative. “Big earrings, bracelets and necklaces add drama to a woman’s personality.” I certainly concur with that idea! Eight huge pieces of molded resin, containing brilliant yellow gold flakes and chunks, have been strung on two thick pieces of round elastic to create a bracelet that will fit a large or medium wrist. Since it stretches it will go over a large hand. Beware – this is a large piece of jewelry – not for the timid!! Monies designs have been sold at boutiques for years and are currently being sold at Bloomingdales. Clear resin jewelry is Hot! Hot! Hot! Condition: Excellent. Size: The individual pieces vary in size from 2 ½” to 3 ¼” in length, 1 ¾” to ¾” wide. All are in the range of ½” thick. The outer circumference when worn on wrist measures 12” because of the thickness of the piece. It stretches open to at least 10” to slide on, yet fits my 6 ½”wrist when worn. | $135.00 |

*LUNCH AT THE RITZ* “ALLEY CAT” EARRINGS: You have to smile when you see these cute kitties. Lunch At The Ritz – the glamour & glitz designers have named these pierced earrings “Alley Cats”. The top piece is a gray tabby sitting on a black heart. There are free swinging dangles of Siamese cats and an orange striped puss with plenty of attitude. All the cats are dimensional and their bodies have a light dusting of iridescent glitter. Austrian crystals, Czechoslovakian glass, resins and brass topped with a thick coating of 24KT gold electroplate are trademarks of all LATR jewelry. The LATR logo appears on the back. There is no “Menu” card available. Purrs of happiness will whisper in your ears. Condition: Excellent. Size: 3 ½” long, 1 ¼” wide at top, ¼” deep. | $125.00 |

*AMY KAHN RUSSELL* CARVED IVORY LIZARD PIN / PENDANT: This exotic lizard, carved from fossilized ivory, is both a pin and a pendant by designer Amy Kahn Russell. Set in Sterling Silver, the lizard is highly detailed – eyes, back ridge, textured skin and curved tail. The tail wraps around a large bezel set cabochon of Amber. On the back side you can even see the lizard’s feet! The setting is marked “Sterling” & “AKR”. The shaded coloring of the ivory is used so beautifully in this rendering of a lizard. The pin back has a safety closure and pendant hook large enough for a nice sized chain or neck wire. Add a touch of the exotic to your jewelry collection. A splendid and eye catching AKR design. Condition: Excellent. Size: 4 1/4” long, 5/8” wide, 1/2” deep. Amber stone is 7/8” wide, 1/2” high. | $130.00 |
