JJ230	BUTLER & WILSON SCOTTIE DOG PIN / BROOCH: This charming and petite Scottie Dog head is set with sparkling rhinestones, a jet black eye and a collar of deep garnet colored stones. The gold tone metal is rich and warm. He carries the Butler & Wilson hallmark and has a safety clasp pin back. Butler & Wilson are well known for the high quality of their jewelry. Please rescue him from the box in which he now lives and give him a “forever” home. Condition: Excellent. Size: 1 1/4" high, 1 1/4" wide, 1/8” deep.	SOLD!
JJ148	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. It stretches open to at least 10” to slide on, yet fits my 6 ½”wrist nicely when worn.	$70.00
JJ182	AMY KAHN RUSSELL FROG PIN / PENDANT: This is an original AKR design. The top stones are an oval cabochon amethyst and a charming ametrine hand carved fish. The center is a delightful froggy, hand carved from fallen deer antler. Lots of detail on froggy – his back has carved ridges and he has large eyes and a mouth. He is three dimensional with his head raised. I love his fat little body! The bottom stones are a yellow citrine and 2 peachy colored pieces of mother-of-pearl. The stones and the frog carving are all bezel set in Sterling Silver with a safety clasp pin back and a hook large enough for a nice sized silver chain or a neck wire. The pin/pendant is marked “Sterling” and bears the hallmark “AKR”. The colors are soft and appealing – and the frog is very dear. Condition: Excellent. Size: The entire pendant is 3” long, 1 1/4" wide and the frog is 1/2" deep.	$130.00
JJ208	ANTIQUE TIBETAN TRIBAL PENDANT: Perched on a plateau in the Himalayas, Tibet at first glance appears to be a country overshadowed by its much larger neighbors – India to the west and China to the east. Tibet is known worldwide for its astonishing jewelry, such as this piece. The large silver cap on this coral pendant is decorated with a repoussé design representing a ram. Repoussé is a method of embossing a metal sheet by punching and hammering a design from the back, then polishing it up in front with a chasing hammer, producing a three dimensional surface. The cap is then filled with pitch or some other substance to make it solid. There is a large natural branch of red coral below the silver cap. The coral is smooth to the touch and is said to protect the wearer from harm and illness. Who knows how many owners have passed this ethnic beauty along on its journey to you. A fascinating piece of cultural history, this pendant is certain to interest any collector of the exotic and intriguing. Condition: Excellent. Chain is not included. Size: 3 1/8” long including bale, 1 1/2" at widest point, 3/4" deep. Silver cap is 1 5/8” high, coral is 1 1/2" long.	$65.00
BB249	BRAD ELFRINK VINTAGE BAKELITE BROOCH / PIN: My favorite contemporary Bakelite designer, Brad Elfrink, hand carved this delightfully whimsical sleepy bulldog resting in his red dog house.

The house is carved of red and black vintage Bakelite and a marbleized off-white is used for the dog. His teeth are white Bakelite inlay; his opened eye & nose are inlayed black Bakelite.

Designed in gold tone metal, this majestic bird has a green rhinestone eye and his talons are clutching a round pearl. There is a C clasp closure on the back.

This wild jungle cat has been endowed with its own unique personality! Impressed into the back is the designers hallmark “Sean Brown” in script, the date “© 08” and the symbol of a hand.

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.	$135.00
JJ161	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.	SOLD!
JJ157	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. (c. 1995) A large green enamel and gold leaf sits atop 3 hanging white enamel Calla lilies. Enfolded in the middle of each flower is a gold center and a touch of rosy pink or green. They are so elegantly feminine and swing on your ears like tropical blossoms in the breeze. All LATR jewelry is a heady mix of Austrian crystals, Czechoslovakian glass, resins and brass topped with a thick coating of 24KT gold electroplate. The clip ear backs carry the LATR trademark and have foam pads for comfort. There is no menu card available.

JJ158	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.	$35.00
JJ146	VINTAGE SIGNED METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART STERLING EGYPTIAN REVIVAL PIN / 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 the hallmark “MMA”, the Metropolitan Museum of Art. These pieces are reproduced by artists from the actual jewelry of the period. 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.	$25.00
JJ156	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.	SOLD!
JJ152	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
