VINTAGE *CHIPITA* BUTTERSCOTCH AMBER EARRINGS: I wear a lot of Chipita Earrings and they never fail to bring me compliments. This clip-on pair is made of art glass, Austrian crystals, metal dangles and rings of jade. Set at the ear are triangles of what I believe to be butterscotch amber. The circular metal dangling pieces are the color of old gold and yellow enamel. Accent beads are bronze, red, green, purple and pink. As with all Chipita Earrings, these are hand stitched on a leather background. The clip backs are hallmarked “Chipita” and these colorful beauties were purchased in the 1980’s. Shades of yellow are a strong current fashion statement and these earrings look great with green, brown, red and the classic black. Step out in the timeless style of dangling earrings. These were always expensive earrings, but you can have them at an affordable price. Women want them and men love ‘em!

Condition: Excellent. Padded ear backs.
Size: 3” long, 2” wide. Butterscotch Amber triangle tops are 1” high, 1 1/4" wide.
SOLD!

“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. SOLD!

FAWN * KENNETH JAY LANE * RHINESTONE PUG BROOCH ( Pug Dog Jewelry ): Your pug loving friends will look at you with envy when they see you wearing this stunning Pug Brooch by Kenneth Jay Lane. A retired design and difficult to find, Lane created this pug as a tribute to the Duchess of Windsor. A long-time friend of Lane, she was famous for her love of pugs and often traveled with as many as 5 (and the Duke) to keep her company. You can see a copy of the letter Lane wrote about this pug and the Duchess on one of the inner photos. This signed brooch is set with foil-backed rhinestones and a faux cream pearl body. A “fawn pug”. Black enamel eyes and collar with a tiny pearl drop give this pug such a stylish look. The dimensional work on the face is unbelievable and difficult to capture in a photo. (I have shown a side view to help you visualize it.) There is a safety clasp on the heavy silver backing. Absolutely the “crème de la crème” of Pug Brooches. Condition: Mint. Size: 2 1/4” high, 1 1/2” wide. The face is almost 1/2” deep. SOLD!

*DIAN MALOUF* 14KT & STERLING SILVER RING: This fascinating and appealing contemporary ring was purchased at a Dian Malouf Trunk Show in San Antonio about 10 years ago. The star motif is set with a subtle pinkish brown stone that I believe is jasper. The central star is surrounded with a 14KT thick braided rope design. My favorite part of this Malouf ring is the star encrusted Sterling Silver band and setting. Dozens of stars cover every inch of the setting and raise up to lift the star shaped stone high above your finger. It looks amazing on your hand, displaying the detail work that makes DLM designs so outstanding. This star ring is heavy, thick silver with the inside of the band hallmarked “.925 ©” & “DLM 14K”. The ring size is 6 1/2. One of the wonderful things about Malouf rings is the way they curve in on the sides of your finger so that they always feel comfortable on you hand. Highly chic, this is a dramatic ring that will take you from the office to dinner in a heartbeat. Nothing seems to say extravagance like a design by Dian Malouf.

Condition: Excellent.

Size: Star top is 1”, ring sits 1/2” high above your finger. The ring size is 6 1/2.

(It can be sized larger.)
SOLD!

*TABRA* STERLING SILVER MOON FACE EARRINGS: Earrings designed by Tabra Tunoa are some of my favorite pieces. I love the light weight feel and the ethnic inspired look of her designs. These signed Tabra clip back “disk” earrings feature antiqued and hand embossed Sterling Silver and brass - set with tan hand painted resin “moon faces”. These faces are one of her signature designs and these earrings have been in my collection for about 12 years. Clip back earrings by Tabra are difficult to find and comfortable to wear. These beauties are designer jewelry at its best! Condition: Excellent. The Tabra card is not included. Size: Disk is 1 5/8” in diameter, 3/8” deep. SOLD!

*DIAN MALOUF* 14KT & STERLING SILVER RING:  This elegant sleek contemporary ring was purchased at a trunk show in Houston about 9 year ago. The top of this ring is 14KT gold designed in a crosshatch pattern. The rest of the ring is Sterling Silver covered with a striking abstract combination of V’s and dots. I love the way you can see the sterling designs above your finger every time you move your hand. One of the wonderful things about Malouf rings is the way they curve in on the sides of your finger so that they always feel comfortable on your hand. This ring is designed to wear alone or with other DM creations stacked on the top or bottom – better yet on both! The inside of the band is hallmarked “DLM 97?”, “14KT” & “.925”. It is a ring size 7. The original DM ring pouch is included. Highly chic, this is an irresistible ring that will take you from the office to dinner in a heartbeat. A perfect gift to yourself. Condition: Excellent. Size: Gold crosshatch top is 1” wide, 3/8” high. Ring sits about 1/2” high above your finger. Ring size is 7. It can be sized. SOLD!

VINTAGE RARE WHITE *CHIPITA* EARRINGS: Glamorous and sophisticated, these vintage earrings feature bold fashionable colors contrasting with large central white beads. (If you squint your eyes you will see a full Indian headdress.) These rare clip earrings were purchased in the 1980’s. I have never seen another pair like them. This pair contains Art glass, Austrian crystals and metal dangles. The large circular top motif uses white opaque glass beads mixed with crystals of fuchsia and yellow-gold along with tiny beads of turquoise, gold, white and blue. The cascade of dangles contains yellow, shocking pink and turquoise circles and long twists that swing freely when you move. As with all Chipita earrings the beads are hand stitched on a leather backing, have padded ear clips and bear the “Chipita” hallmark. Picture these on a cruise, at a pool party, on the dance floor or making a splashy entrance at a soirée. Your will feel like a goddess! Condition: Excellent. Size: 3” long, 1 ¾” wide, ¼” deep. SOLD!

*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!

*PATRICE* STRIKING BROOCH & EARRINGS SET: This wonderfully sophisticated brooch and clip earring set was purchased at one of the smart boutique shops in the French Quarter of New Orleans. All of the designs by Patrice have a distinctive look of the old mixed with the new. They are based on Victorian designs, but have an added twist of today’s style. Her pieces are made of Vintage German Glass, stamped brass and resin. The black and carnelian colored pieces are vintage glass, the mottled marble looking oval base pieces are resin. Vintage stamp work brass designs are featured in most of the pieces by Patrice. The brooch has a safety catch clasp and the earrings are clip back. This set is very light weight and the layering of oval upon oval makes a great visual impact. Although unsigned, the original tags accompany the set. This is truly statement jewelry for a woman of style and polish. SOLD ONLY AS A SET. Condition: Excellent. Size: Brooch 2 1/2” long, 1 7/8” wide, 7/8” deep.

*MIRIAM HASKELL* PEARL AND AMETHYST NECKLACE: This lustrous strand of faux baroque pearls and amethyst nuggets has been in my collection for 25 years.

In this 36” necklace the faux baroque pearls are separated by tiny amethyst colored glass beads. The polished amethyst nuggets are set off with circular bands of Austrian rhinestones. The clasp is marked “Miriam Haskell” and there is also an oval hanging tag marked “MIRIAM HASKELL”. There is a version of the spring and box clasp, but you may slip this necklace over your head for quick and easy wear. It can be worn single or double looped.

VINTAGE *RICHARD KERR* RHINESTONE EARRINGS: These glittering spiral twist earrings have been in my jewelry collection for about 13 years. Richard Kerr pieces are known for the quality and color of the stones that are used in each piece. These long dangling spiral earrings are pave-set with jet black rhinestones and edged with gold beading. The effect is one of a continuous, twisting jeweled surface. These exotic earrings are clip backed and each one carries the Richard Kerr Trademark. Sadly, the company is no longer in business. R. Kerr pieces are highly collectable and this is an unusual design. Photos cannot do justice to the flash and sparkle of these earrings. Please look at the matching jet black Richard Kerr bracelet (JJ037). Condition: Excellent. No stones missing. Light weight to wear. Size: 4” long, Spiral twist is 1” at widest point. SOLD!
