*LES BERNARD* RHINESTONE & CRYSTAL EARRINGS: These clip earrings created by Les Bernard are a symphony of color. Intense hues of turquoise (top stone), royal blue, orange, green, golden topaz and fuchsia cascade in glittering style. The faceted claw set rhinestones are open backed to reveal the silver foiled backings. The large fuchsia dangle is made of lucite and the Austrian crystals are iridescent. The padded clip backs are marked “Les Bernard”. This company produced high quality jewelry from 1962 through 1996. (I purchased these beauties in 1994.) Les Bernard left a legacy of superbly crafted and unusual stone set pieces. They manufactured jewelry for Mary McFadden, James Galanos and the “Dynasty Collection” for the glamorous TV series. Highly collectible, regal and dramatic – picture yourself dancing in these sparkling creations. Condition: Excellent. Size: 3 1/4” long, 1 1/4” wide. Top turquoise stone is 1” wide, 3/4” high. $75.00

*KENNETH JAY LANE* RETIRED PUG DOG BROOCH / PIN: Pug lovers know that just looking at a pug face has got to make you smile. Designer Kenneth Jay Lane has captured that wonderful image in this large, bold, brushed gold tone and black enamel Pug Brooch. Every facial wrinkle and fold is perfectly rendered in this retired design, bearing the hallmark “Kenneth Lane”. It is difficult to capture the brushed gold texture, but it is soft and rich, especially contrasted with the high shine of the black enamel. This is a must have pin for pug collectors! There is a safety catch pin back. Condition: Mint. Size: 2 1/8” high, 2 7/8” wide, 1/4” deep. $125.00

LARGE MOLTEN GOLD ABSTRACT NECKLACE: This large golden tone necklace is a guaranteed show-stopper! Originally an estate purchase, I have had this necklace for about 20 years. It is free formed golden metal in an abstract design - even the links look like nuggets. Some of the surface is shiny gold and other parts are textured. The large bottom piece is attached by a ring so that it is free swinging. This necklace is unsigned and has a spring ring closure. Photos do not really do justice to the impact that this bold, artistic necklace makes. It is a stunner! Condition: Excellent. Size: Lower section is 5” long, 4 5/8” wide. Neck chain is approximately 15” long. The large free form piece hangs about 2 1/2” to 3” down below my neck. It lies flat on my chest. $65.00

VINTAGE STERLING SILVER MEXICAN CAMEO PIN / PENDANT: This striking Vintage Cameo was purchased in Mexico prior to 1979. Both a pin and a pendant, the classical woman’s head is made of a deep amber brown frosted glass. The very wide and bold setting of arrows and beading is marked “925” - Sterling Silver. The glass cameo is set very high in the double bezel. The hinged bale, (a later addition) embellished with a continuation of the arrow theme, will accommodate a thick chain, omega collar or a silver neck wire. (Neck wire pictured is not included.) There is a safety clasp pin back. (If you want to wear this cameo as a pin, you will need to permanently remove the bale since the pin will not fasten over the bale. I always wore it as a pendant.) Mexican Silver has become immensely collectable and this is a very unusual Cameo with a LOT of silver. I think this Cameo would be perfect for a professional woman with its dramatic clean lines. A very fine example of the Mexican silversmith’s craft. Condition: Excellent. No chips. Size: Cameo with bale 3” high, 1 7/8” wide, 3/4” deep. Cameo as a pin 2 1/4” high, 1 7/8” wide, 3/4” deep. $150.00

AVENTURINE (ADVENTURINE) AND STERLING SILVER CROSS PENDANT: I have always worn crosses as costume jewelry. The shape is appealing and combines beautifully with other necklaces for an artistic look. Now fashion has proclaimed crosses a “look” that is highly chic. This sage green aventurine cross was made in India and is marked “925” (Sterling) on the large bale. Extravagant in size, the six bezel set faceted stones have a shimmering quality that is caused by tiny metallic particles (mica) within the stone. Found in India, Russia and Tanzania – these green aventurine stones appear much like moss agate to me. Soft and serene, this cross captivates with its color. Condition: Excellent. The soft green is semi-translucent and even in all the stones. The top stone appears whitish in the photos due to its dense crystallization. Size: 4 1/8” long, 2 3/4” wide. Setting is 3/8” deep. $125.00

“VERTIGE” FRENCH MOUSE & CHEESE PIN: A very clever and whimsical large mouse pin with a slice of cheese dangling just out of reach. This unique novelty jewelry is hand crafted out of synthetic resin (very light weight) in the Vertige - Brittany, France - workshops. The mouse figure appears very much like frosted Lucite with painted gold features and gray oval rhinestone eyes. There is a silver chain around his neck and at the end of the chain a painted yellow and orange wedge of cheese that he appears to be pursuing. You can wind the chain around his neck again if you want the cheese closer to his mouth. He can sit flat on your shoulder with the cheese hanging down or you can wear him at an angle on your lapel. If you choose to wear him flat on top of your shoulder the cheese can hang down your back as a really fun way of making your own style statement. He has a safety clasp pin back with original “Vertige” label and paper label marked “ France ”. The original Vertige card will be included. The box is not included.  Condition: Mint. Size: Mouse is 3 1/2” long, 1 1/2” wide, 5/8” deep. Chain with cheese dangles 4” long, wrapped around his neck 2” long. Cheese is 5/8” square. $75.00
