*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. |

“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.

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.

*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.) |

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

comfortable to wear. These beauties are designer jewelry at its best!

*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. |

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. |

*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
