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.	$75.00
JJ094	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.	$135.00
JJ084	LONG ORANGE TASSEL EARRINGS: Wonderful orange & gold tone clip earrings. 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

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.

The necklace beads consist of glass, wooden and serpentine beads in a variety of shapes, sizes and textures. There is a lobster claw clasp. The necklace looks wonderful on shades of green or red. Black or brown would compliment its earthy beauty. I purchased this necklace about 15 years ago in a chic Santa Fe shop. Condition: Excellent. For purposes of accuracy I will mention that the square red beads have some abnormalities on the edges. They are polished smooth and have always been that way. Size: Beaded necklace 17” long. Pendant drop 3 7/8” long. Circular disk is 2 1/2” in diameter and 3/8” thick.	$50.00

JJ042	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.	$85.00
JJ018	VINTAGE SILVER LEAF PIN / PENDANT & EARRINGS: I have had this set in my personal collection since the 1950’s. The silver toned pendant detaches from the chain to be worn alone as a pin. The leaf and branch design is a classic. There are multiple textures and fine detail to the design. You can see the veins in the leaves and the bark-texture on the branches. I have never had to polish it and it remains pristine. The matching clip earrings are in perfect condition. The pieces will be sold as a set only. It is very special when you can find matching pieces together after all these years. Don’t let this set slip by. You won’t see it again. Condition: Excellent. Size: Pendant/Pin 2” diameter. 17” chain with clasp. Clip earrings 1 1/4” diameter.	$25.00
JJ022	VINTAGE IVORY RING WITH A SHAFT OF SILVER: This ring face is a sculptural shaped square of ivory with an overlay of silver. The irregular lines soften the square design. Condition: Excellent. The old ivory grain can be clearly seen. I have tried to show it in the photos, but the patinaed grain lines are more evident when the ring is in front of you. Size: Front of the ring is 1" wide by 5/8" high. Ring size 6.	$25.00
JJ020	VINTAGE IVORY, EBONY & STERLING BROOCH: An unsigned artist’s piece purchased at a San Antonio art gallery – one of a kind.

As much care went into the back of the piece as the front. Hand made C-clasp. This is old ivory - see close-up for striations. The square part of the brooch is 1 1/4” high and 1 1/8” wide. The branched extension measures 1 1/4”.	$50.00
JJ141	KENNETH JAY LANE VINTAGE HINGED JEWELED CUFF BRACELET: Designer Kenneth Jay Lane has always been a favorite with high profile admirers, including Jackie Kennedy, Audrey Hepburn, Nancy Reagan and Diana, Princess of Wales. His early work was championed by the legendary editor, Diana Vreeland, and she featured his designs in “Vogue”. This brushed gold toned hinged cuff bracelet has been in my collection for about 18 years. Set with rectangular, round and tear drop faceted stones in green, clear, red, topaz and lavender – this bracelet bears the hallmark “Kenneth © Lane”. The cuff is wide on the side where the hinge opens and becomes narrower as it ends beyond the huge red stone. You can’t help being a hit – in this year of the bracelet – wearing this dramatic KJL cuff. Condition: Excellent. Size: 1 5/8” high at center, lavender stone is 1” long, red stone is 7/8” in diameter. The inner dimension , including the opening, measures 6 1/8”, but notice that the cuff is not round and fits only a small wrist, no larger than 6” over the bone.	SOLD!
JJ113	AMY KAHN RUSSELL CICADA BUG BRACELET: If you love bugs, you will be awed by this big, bold and showy Sterling Silver link bracelet by designer Amy Kahn Russell. This piece has been in my collection for about 10 years. The large cicadas are hand carved bone with black onyx eyes. (The back side of the bugs is also carved in detail.) Each cicada is bezel set in a wide Sterling Silver mount. It is one of the most striking AKR bracelets that I have ever seen. It is very comfortable to wear because the links mold it to your wrist. The back is hallmarked “Sterling AKR”. I had the catch replaced with a sterling box clasp since that makes it easier to put on your own wrist. (The clasp is marked “Mexico 950”.) I also added a safety chain that you may remove if you choose. Condition: Excellent. Size: Each cicada is 2 1/4” long, 1 1/4” wide, 1/2” deep. Entire length of the bug portion is 6 1/8”, plus the 3/4” clasp. My wrist is 6 1/4” and it fits me perfectly. Fits a smallish - medium wrist.	SOLD!
