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. $35.00

*SABAI* FIRE OPAL & DRUZE STERLING RING: Purchased in New Orleans from contemporary artist “Sabai”, this ethnic inspired ring features a rust colored fire opal and square cut piece of druze quartz crystals. Both stones are raised up in bezel settings and the brown druze is framed in an etched square. The wide sterling band is decorated with both an applied braided band and a band of running loops. The inside is marked “Sabai 925”. A very special ring so beautifully suited to the colors of the year – brown, green, yellow and ivory. The ring band is a size 8, but because of its width and thickness, it fits better on a size 7 or 7 1/2. Condition: Excellent. Size: Band is 5/8” wide, 1/8” thick and the fire opal and druze together measure 1 1/8”. The stones are set ¼” high above the band. $40.00

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.
$25.00

*OSCAR DE LA RENTA* HEART NECKLACE & EARRINGS: Pictures say it better than words in the case of this glamorous bejeweled set designed by Oscar de la Renta. The golden matte finish is warm and flattering. Suspended from a beautiful rounded link chain, the heart shaped pendant contains stones in shades of topaz and green. The clip earrings feature free swinging hoops. Worn as a set or each piece alone, you will love the look and feel of this luscious designer set. The pieces are hallmarked Oscar de la Renta. The earrings have foam padded clip backs. The chain fastens with a large toggle & ring closure. Easy to put on by yourself ladies! A dynamite combination of refinement and elegance. (See matching ring - JJ168)

This brown ring fits a ring size 7 or smaller. Hallmarked “Oscar de la Renta”, it makes a wonderful pinky ring by closing up the space at the back. Very smart for day or evening wear. (This ring matches JJ132, the Oscar de la Renta Heart Necklace & Earring Set.)

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. $75.00

*ALEXIS BITTAR* SATIN FINISH LUCITE EARRINGS: Contemporary designer, “Alexis Bittar” has created these fuchsia lucite earrings that seem to glow from within. These luminous clip earrings have three carved dimensional ridges that add to the brilliance of the fuchsia color. They have a satiny brushed finish and it is the gold backing that produces this unique flashing color effect. Photos can not capture the intensity of the color. Bittar jewelry is featured at Saks and each piece is hallmarked “Hand Carved By Alexis Bittar”. The clip backs have a soft rubber pad for extra comfort. Condition: Mint. Size: 1 1/4” long, 7/8” wide, 5/8” deep. $50.00

*CHRISTIAN DIOR* TASSEL BROOCH / PIN: A strikingly contemporary take on Victorian tassel style jewelry has been created by “Christian Dior” in this chic gold tone brooch. (Purchased about 10 years ago.) The oval frame is both shiny and matte gold. The double rope is a frosted gold tone that ends in two striking snake chain tassels. The tassels are articulated and swing when you move. The pin back has a safety clasp and bears the hallmark “Chr. Dior ©”. A smart look on a business suit or a black velvet jacket. Use your imagination! Condition: Mint. Size 3 ¾” long including tassels, 1 3/8” wide. $35.00

JJ143

VINTAGE BLACK ENAMEL SNAKE& RHINESTONE COLLAR NECKLACE: This unmarked snake collar necklace will certainly get you noticed! (I bought it some time in 1980.) Made of gold tone metal, most of the snake’s head and body are done in black enamel. The head is accented with white rhinestones and garnet red colored stones are used for the eyes. The collar is hinged to lie comfortably on your neck and there is a hook and link closure that you can adjust to fit. It is subtle enough to remain tastefully elegant, yet still demands attention. Condition: Excellent. All stones are intact. Size: Approximately 14” inner circle when closed at medium length. Will fit medium and small necks. Snake head & neck 1 ½” long, head is ½” wide. $30.00

JJ117

VINTAGE CARVED IVORY FLORAL EARRING: These elegant pre-ban Ivory Earrings are hand carved to resemble button chrysanthemum blossoms. Imagine carving these floral beauties by hand! This work was probably done in the orient. The color is mellow Ivory, not white. On the back you can clearly see the distinctive line markings that identify true Ivory. I purchased these at a show at least 20 years ago, but my guess is that these were made in the 1950’s. They are clip back earrings that are flattering to all skin tones. Condition: Excellent. Size: 1 1/4” in diameter, 1/4” thick. $40.00

JJ125

LAVENDER SHELL PENDANT with STERLING OCTOPUS: I think that sea shells are one of nature’s most beautiful creations. I never tire of their exquisite colors and infinite variety. This large lavender shell suspended by a textured silver setting, including a nice sized bale. On the curve of the shell rests a sterling octopus with its tentacles spread. You can use a medium sized chain or a thin neck wire to wear this gift from Mother Nature. There is a silver tag affixed to the back that reads “Handmade Sterling”. Under the Sea at its very best! Get ready for a vacation cruise, a beach wedding or a party beside the pool. Condition: Excellent. Size: 3 1/2” long, 3” wide, silver octopus is 7/8” in diameter. $40.00

The tops are teardrop shaped and from them hang fully articulated, free swinging beads that end in elegant orange silk tassels.

Ladies who love them long will be thrilled with these light weight show stoppers. Condition: Excellent. Size: 5 1/2” long (Yes, that is correct!), 3/4” wide, tassel portion 2 1/2” long. $35.00

*ALEXIS BITTAR* SATIN FINISH LUCITE BANGLE: Purple!! The elusive color that everyone is always searching to find. Contemporary designer, Alexis Bittar, creates these hand carved satiny lucite bangles that seem to glow from within. This purple bangle has a striped insert of yellow gold, periwinkle and fuchsia. The brushed finish has a soft and luminous texture to it, unlike any other Lucite designs I have seen. Bittar bangles are featured at Saks Fifth Avenue and each one is hallmarked “Hand carved by Alexis Bittar”. Picture this bangle glowing on your wrist this summer. Condition: Excellent. Size: 15/16” wide, 1/2” thick walls, 2 5/8” inner opening - for a medium wrist. $125.00

STERLING SILVER & AMBER RING: This long rounded and polished piece of Butterscotch Amber has been set in an unusual bezel frame decorated with Sterling Silver leaves and vines. The amber has a lovely shaded effect – you can see why it’s named “butterscotch”. The sterling shank is stamped “925” and hallmarked “SJ”. I’ve had this ring for about 18 years. I like the fact that it has a feminine look to the design and it slants to fit comfortably on your finger. Ring size is 6 1/2. Condition: Excellent. Size: 2” long, 3/4” wide, 1/2” deep. Ring can be sized up or down. $75.00
