VINTAGE LONG *CHIPITA* EARRINGS: Glamorous and shimmering with color, these Chipita clip earrings were purchased in the 80’s. This pair is made of art glass and Austrian crystals. There are long twisted metal dangles mixed in with the crystals. The circular top button is iridescent in shades of fuchsia and green - very much the colors you see in an oil slick. The crystals are fuchsia, emerald green and purple. It is not possible to capture the colors in a photo. As with all Chipita earrings, these are hand stitched on a leather backing. If you like long earrings, picture these showy, glittering beauties on the dance floor or making a splashy entrance at a party. They are wonderful! Condition: Excellent. These are clip earrings. Size: 4” long, 1” wide. 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.

*DIAN MALOUF* THREE in ONE STERLING & GOLD RING: If you love Dian Malouf jewelry – and who doesn’t – this is a very unusual ring. I bought 3 separate rings that I liked as a set, but when I wore them, they kept moving around so I had the 3 rings soldered together. Now they are always in position. Voila! An entirely new ring. The top thin sterling band is set with a crescent of green serpentine. The center widest ring is set with a green citrine and the thin bottom band is accented with 14KT half round balls. Of course, each of the intricate design patterns is visible from all angles. This inner ring band is marked “Dian Malouf”, “925”, “14K” along with a hallmark sign. Supremely elegant and chic! This Malouf set is a ring size 6. Condition: Excellent. Size: 3/4” high at front, 7/8” wide. Band is 3/8” wide in back. Ring size 6. SOLD!

*MIRIAM HASKELL* PEARL AND AMETHYST NECKLACE: This lustrous strand of faux baroque pearls and amethyst nuggets has been in my collection for 25 years. Miriam Haskell established costume jewelry in the United States as a fashionable and valued art form in its own right. Her choice and quality of materials set the highest standards. 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. All MH necklaces are extremely desirable – the best known are those of single or multiple pearls. Condition: Excellent. Size: 36” long, Amethyst nuggets vary from 1/2” to 1” wide. SOLD!

*LUNCH AT THE RITZ* SPIDER EARRINGS: Surely these are the largest earrings ever made by Lunch At The Ritz. A retired design, these dramatic and dazzling clip earrings are titled “Spider Woman”. (c. 1980’s) Huge gold plated spider webs covered with rhinestones and dripping with crystals are accented with large black spiders – one at the center and another suspended and free swinging. These four “black widows” are each accented by two large red rhinestones. (I found them to be very comfortable to wear.) As always, these show-stopper LATR clip earrings are made of crystals, resins and 24KT Gold electroplating. Each earring is hallmarked “Lunch At The Ritz”. Older pieces, like these, were made of the highest quality components and remain unmatched by any other designers. The original menu card is included. You won’t see these again! Bon Appétit! Condition: Excellent. Size 5 1/4” long, 2” wide. Spiders are 1 1/2” in diameter.

These clip back beauties are stamped “Panetta”. The company closed in 1995. Due to limited production runs all Panetta jewelry has become very collectable.

*JAMES ARPAD* GREEN RHINESTONE AND SILK TASSEL EARRINGS: I was attracted to these sparkling green clip earrings because of the color and the movement of the tassels. A silk cord is used to bind the rhinestone section to the tassels, which are a mixture of 2 colors – olive green and a brighter green. James Arpad produced his line of earrings at the same time as Richard Kerr. These earrings have a retro look in contemporary colors. The perfect accessory to dance the night away. Condition: Excellent. Size: 4 1/2” long, top circle is 7/8” in diameter. SOLD!

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!
