Description: Schwob Pin Watch - Swiss watch, , marked Schwob on the face, with hands, and numerals in goldtone. Also has seconds hand, with the seconds marked off by tens. Setting function works properly, and the watch works intermittently, but not all the time, so I am selling it "as is". Floral and leaf design, base metal with somewhat worn gold plating. 3" x 2 1/8". I am not knowledgeable about watches, so am guessing this to be 1920's or earlier. Item: SPW2-903 Price: $49.50 (As Is) US |

Description: Eisenberg Original Cascading Clear Rhinestone Fur Clip - Much more interesting than some of the standard Eisenberg clear rhinestone clips, this uses round chatons, round dentelles, baguettes, a triangular cut and an octagonal cut. Signed Eisenberg Original and stone setters mark "N" in a circle. Excellent condition, with some of the prongset dentelles being replacements. Octagonal stone is starting to show aging. At 2 1/2" x 2 1/2", this is a great size, not too big and not too small. Very sparkly and a lovely abstract design. Item: SF2-927 Price: $125.00 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Lisner Brooch in Aqua/Multi Blue Rhinestones - This brooch matches a beautiful necklace and earrings set that I have had in the past. done in aqua, light sapphire and sapphire rhinestones in rounds and pear shapes, this has a metallic leaf motif running down the center. Slightly greyed silvertone, this is 2 1/4" x 1 1/4" at widest points, excellent condition. Item: SP2-906 Price: $24.50 US |

Description: Trifari Small Sterling Vermeil Crown Pin with Blue Cabs - Signed Trifari, Sterling and Des. Pat. No. 137542, this is from March, 1944; while this would seem to be exactly the same as SP10-1163, it is not. The center stone is a green flatbacked cabochon; this is the only small crown of Trifari that I have seen with a cabochon in the center instead of a pointback stone. Other than that, these seem pretty much the same, with a ruby red oval at the top surmounted by a single emerald green stone, flanked at bottom by two more emerald stones, then a topaz round, the green cab, then a row of red rhinestones over four emerald green baguettes. Single rows of round clears finish the design. 1 1/4" in either direction (approximately); red stones vary in color, from age or interim replacements, I'm not quite sure. Otherwise very good/excellent condition. Item: SP2-1195 Price: $95.00 US |

Description: Trifari Pink Shoebutton Fur Clip - While I have this same fur clip as part of a set with the matching bracelet, here is your opportunity to buy just the fur clip if you like. This came to me with one of the fur clip prongs missing, which has been expertly replaced by the incomparable Victor Weyrich, so you know it was done correctly. Otherwise in very good original condition with the usual mild yellowing of some of the clear rhinestones. 2 1/4" x 1 1/2", signed Crown Trifari. Item: SF2-995 Price: $99.50 US |

Description: Crown Trifari Yellow and Green Enamel Floral - This design was done in other solid colors as well as a multi colored version. Here are flowers are all yellow, with two-tone green enamel leaves. Goldtone setting, almost 3" x 1 1/2". Very good condition with minor enamel chipping on two of the flowers and the top leaf. (Please notice that the flowers are double layered for a more realistic look!) Smaller clear rounds show a little aging. Normal wear and tear but price reflects minor condition issues. Item: SP2-922 Price: $29.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Crown Trifari Rhinestone Leaf & Pearl Earclips - I have seen a LOT of Trifari but this was the first time for me to see this particular design/color combination. The paved leaves have open "veins" and the larger glass pearl is actually black with a green irridesence (smaller pearls are the usual Trifari glass pearls in ivory). I think the bottom picture shows the pearl color better (there is no "stripe" across the top of the pearl in reality, that is a reflection of a ceiling light) but the top photo is clearer, so I have included them both. About 1" x 1", excellent original condition with very slight aging to the clears, silvertone Trifanium finish, and standard 1960's earclip mechanism. Item: SE2-838 Price: $27.50 US |

Description: Crown Trifari Arrow Brooch - Cupid's quiver? This piece is unusual not only for what it has but what it hasn't. Simply signed crown Trifari, it has no patent number, no pat. pend., not sterling, and is a design I have never before seen. Nice weight, this goldtone piece has four baguette rhinestones at the center with small clear rounds finishing the rest of the "tie" design. The five arrows measure about 3"; about 1 3/8" at widest point. The clear rhinestones are all in good shape, other than a little darkening of the goldtone along the shank of a few of the arrows this is in wonderful shape. Pre-1955, otherwise a mystery. Great piece. Item: SP2-1199 Price: $99.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Lisner Multi Blue Rhinestone Earrings - These match one of Lisner's most popular designs that came in a multitude of colors - here it is in shades of sapphire blue and blue aurora borealis rounds and montana blue ovals. Silvertone setting, clip backs, about 1" x 3/4". Excellent original condition. Item: SE2-913 Price: $19.50 US |

Description: Hollycraft 1953 Rose Pink & Glass Pearl Necklace, Earrings and Brooch Demi Parure with Original Tag - This set, like the SS1-1003 set, uses the ovals, pears, baguettes, glass half pearls and curliques which were used in the 1953 design series. The necklace is somewhat of a pendant style with a lovely twist chain centered with an oval centered drop with small rounds around the border and corner accents of the glass pearls, with accent pieces in baguettes, rounds and pearls going up the sides for a short distance. 15 1/4", with1 1/8" drop. Even the clasp is special, with small pink rounds on either side of the foldover clasp. Original hangtag that says "created by Hollywood Jlry. Mfg. Co. New York" on one side and "Hollycraft" on the other, in green and gold foil. Clip earrings use pears, baguettes, rounds and glass pearls, 1 3/8" x 7/8". Brooch has oval, pears, rounds, baguettes and glass pearls, 1 3/4" x 1 5/8". I replaced two of the glass half pearls on one earring, otherwise everything is complete, original and in excellent shape. Gorgeous color, wonderful set. Item: SS2-1004 Price: $295.00/demi parure US    |

Description: Haskell Baroque Pearl Earrings - Cream color large baroque glass pearl is handwired in the center and surrounded by smaller prong set! glass baroque pearls. I was surprised that these were prong set rather than hand wired, but there would be not reason to prong set if they HAD been handwired. Someone "got here" before me and replaced two of the smaller baroque pearls with regular glass pearls; color wise they are a good match but obviously not original. I do not have a good match to replace with the correct ones, perhaps you do. Price reflects. 1" x 7/8", hexagonal filigree over larger filigree, screw clip mechanisms with Pat. 2400xxx, I am assuming that this color is the "Russian" gold referred to in Haskell advertising. Item: SE2-526 Price: $36.50 US Sorry, SOLD!  |

Description: Trifari Yellow and Glass Pearl Oval Cabochon Earrings - We have had the bracelet in the past; now here are the earrings. Yellow opaque oval cabochons surround a center row of white oval glass pearls. About 1 1/4" x 3/4". Goldtone setting, these use the larger clipbacks that Trifari used in the 1950's and 1960's. Marked crown Trifari and copyright symbol. Excellent condition. Item: SE2-1206 Price: $34.50 US |

Description: Coro Peach Irridescent Enamel and Rhinestone Brooch and Earrings Set - The irridescent glazing on this set reminds me of glazing I have seen on pottery but I don't know the name of it. Whatever it is, it is very attractive, and I was immediately drawn to this set because peach colored jewelry is hard to find. The rhinestones at the center of both the brooch and the earrings are either a Madeira or smokey topaz aurora borealis. All pieces are bordered with a thin line of black enamel, some of which has worn off over the years. Goldtone setting, brooch is about 2 1/2" x 2" and clip earrings are about 1" in diameter. Excellent condition with the exception of the black enamel wear, which could be retouched if desired. Item: SS2-911 Price: $34.50/set US |

Description: Trifari Oval Cabochon Glass Pearl Bracelet and Earrings Set - If you love the timeless look of pearls, this variation should be right up your alley. Set in goldtone, the link bracelet sports three rows of cabs, has a foldover clasp, and is 7" x 3/4". Clip earrings are 1 1/8" in diameter, slightly domed style, and use a more substantial clip mechanism than was usual for this time period. Ear clip finding is marked crown Trifari with copyright symbol, foldover clasp looks like it might have the crown over the T but the full stamp isn't there, marked Trifari with copyright. Excellent condition with just a little of the plating rubbed off along the edges of the bracelet. I believe this series was called Calypso and came in colored cabs/pearls as well as the all pearl version you see here. See SB2-989. Item: SS2-1111 Price: $76.50/set US

Description: This Coro "Emblem of the Americas" brooch is shown in the Brunialtis' American Costume Jewelry book and was apparently produced in November of 1941. Proceeds from the sale of this design were used for the Interamerican Scholarship Fund and the concept was endorsed by First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. The center flag represents the United States and the other flags, from left to right, represent in alphabetical order the countries in Latin America and South America. Note that this piece started being sold at almost the exact same time as the attack on Pearl Harbor and America's entry into WWII. Bottom line says "Amigos Siempre" - Friends Forever. Fascinating historical piece. $250.00 Item: SP2-017 Price: $250.00 US |

Description: Trifari Flawed Emerald and Clear Rhinestone Earrings - This is one of the few times I have seen Trifari use a "flawed" rhinestone - i.e., there is nothing wrong with the stone, it simply refers to the fact that there are wisps of white in the green, to simulate the effect of a real stone. Both the larger and smaller green stones are dentelle cuts, replacing these would probably be impossible as these are scarce stones. The surrounding navettes, in three sizes, are very bright and sparkly. Set in silvertone, these use again the larger clip mechanism for this time period for Trifari. Marked crown Trifari and copyright symbol, one clip also has a few numbers incised by hand, very faintly, which I assume to be a stonesetters mark or design number. I would love to see the matching pieces for these! 1 1/4" x 1 1/8", excellent condition. Item: SE2-1205 Price: $165.00 US |

Description: Haskell Pearl "Pinwheel" Design Screwclip Earrings - These earclips use a larger baroque glass pearl in the center and smaller baroque pearls wired into a double row of circles surrounding the center and alternating with metal rondelles. Typical adjustable screwclip findings; Miriam Haskell signature surrounds the area where finding attaches to the earring. Condition is very good, with some wear spots on the left center pearl and on various smaller baroque pearls on both earrings (please see pictures). Neither "circle" is a perfect circle but all pieces are present and the waviness seems to be intentional and unavoidable with the pattern. Because of the double row, in person, it just makes kind of a lacy effect. 1" in diameter and 3/8" deep. Item: SE2-785 Price: $69.50 US |

Description: Trifari Clear Rhinestone Silvertone Brooch and Clip Earrings Set- But not just everyday clear rhinestone clip earrings. If you look at SS1-907 (sold) these earrings are the clear rhinestone version. It should be noted that as far as I know, clear was the only color that this design series was done where all the stones were the same color, and this seems to have also even come in clear with black diamond! Very rarely found. Earrings are 1 1/8" x 3/4", done with rhodium plate instead of the matte finish usually found with this series. Brooch is 1 3/4" in diameter, with a layer of paved leaves that go over the top of the top end of the brooch, giving this a very 3 dimensional aspect (slightly over 1/2" deep.)Very good condition with slight yellowing of some of the stones, rhodium plating. Marked crown Trifari with copyright symbol. Item: SS2-997 Price: $135.00/set US   |

Description: Crown Trifari Glass Pearl Cabochon Adjustable Choker Necklace - A match to the earrings and bracelet SS2-1111, this link necklace has 9 glass pearl cabs per link, 14 links - 126 cabs in all. Goldtone setting, hook and tail clasp, 3/4" x up to 16" length. Excellent condition. Item: SN2-1240 Price: $74.50 US |

Description: Lisner Purple/Purple AB Earrings - Another earring style that matches one of Lisner's most popular designs, this time in shades of purple and purple aurora borealis in a goldtone setting. SCREWBACK mechanism, marked Lisner with a copyright symbol, on the screwback. 3/4" in diameter, excellent original condition. Item: SE2-914 Price: $16.50 US |

Description: Trifari Clear Rhinestone Floral Fur Clip - Though I cannot find a patent that specifically addresses this piece, there are a number of patented Trifari pieces that use this same floral head in 1939, and this piece is, in fact, marked patent pending (pat. pend.)along with Trifari with crown on the fur clip mechanism and what appears to be copr. on the back of one of the stones. The fur clip mechanism also uses the rolling pin clasp, which is not often found. At 2" x 1 1/4", this is one of the smaller fur clips, and similar clips with the same floral heads are often said to be tremblers, but this one is riveted on as you may be able to see on the back picture, so there is no trembling going on here.(My dear friend and Trifari expert extraordinaire Robin has been kind enough to tell me that this was done with a trembler in 1939, but reissued without in 1948, Pat. # 151,544, at which time many Trifari pieces were marked with the copr. and Pat. Pend. and at this time the rolling clasp was added to several fur clip designs. Thank you Robin!! ) Condition: this came to me with one prong missing; this has been expertly repaired by Victor Weyrich. Plating is fine; some of the small clears have yellowed or greyed as is typical of these pieces; the larger stones are dentelles and in nice shape, except for the one that is at 4 o'clock from the floral head. This appears to be a replacement as it is a chaton and is not in good shape, and I fear the person who did this used (ack!) super glue. Plating looks cracked on back next to this stone but I don't think it is structurally unsound. Hopefully I am not making this sound worse than it is, I would have no problem wearing and enjoying this beautiful piece for years, but I want you, the customer, to have my evaluation before purchasing. Price reflects condition. Item: SF2-998 Price: $84.50 US |

Description: Norseland by Coro Sterling Goose Pin -During WWII when by necessity sterling silver became the metal of choice in the costume jewelry industry, Coro produced several types of sterling pieces, including pieces with no stones whatsoever. This goose must have been one of their most popular designs. Measuring 3 1/4" x 3", this piece, which has its original patina, would warm the cockles of any bird lovers' heart. Item: SP2-176 Price: $69.50 US  |

Description: H. Pomerantz Huge Floral Brooch - This is a company that is rarely found, and the pieces seem to run from ho-hum to extremely interesting. I would rate this in the extremely interesting end of the spectrum, not only from the size (4 3/4" x 1 1/2"), but also lovely design and interesting darkening effect on leaves that seems to be an oxidation process rather than an enameling. The leaves stand out nicely in contrast to the clear paste set floral heads. A very nice collector's piece in excellent condition. Item: SP2-1059 Price: $89.50 US  |

Description: Eisenberg Original Clear and Golden Topaz Rhinestone Fur Clip - Set in goldtone, this 2 1/4" x 1 3/4" fur clip is signed Eisenberg Original and the number 20. Clear stones have aged but still have a lot of sparkle and appear to be original. Colored stones, all ovals except for the second row from top which are rounds, are all prong set and in very good vintage condition, with small amounts of darkening around the edges of the ovals and a little speckling at the back of one. On back the fur clip points have scraped the metal which seems to be normal wear on almost all fur clips. Item: SF2-158 Price: $295.00 US |

Description: Coro "Bow" Duette with Floral Motif - While not the usual duette mechanism for Coro, I do think this is original. Both fur clips are signed Coro; the connector mechanism is signed just with "pat. pend.". Silvertone; all clear rhinestones. Some stones have darkened or yellowed slightly but certainly what one would expect for a piece that is 60-70 years old. About 2" x 1 1/4" when connected. Item: SM2-149 Price: $49.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Kramer Large Goldtone Leaf Brooch - Like a tailored look but want it to be noticed? This 5 1/2" x 1 1/2" brooch should do the trick! Goldtone; leaves are stirated while stems have a shiny finish. Excellent condition. Item: SP2-159 Price: $25.00 US |

Description: Regency Pentagonal Brooch in Blues - Whether this looks like a stylized star or what to you, this substantial brooch is a wonderful stand alone or part of a grouping brooch. Gunmetal setting with grey pearlized cabochon ovals and round, and very light blue, light blue, and blue aurora borealis rhinestones. Hook and eye construction holds top layer to bottom layer. Center "pearl" has an "ouchie", and one larger stone has a tiny chip on the underside of one edge, but at this price perhaps you can just enjoy it as is. Item: SP2-151 Price: $39.00 US |

Description: Trifari Fuchsia/Black Diamond Starfish Brooch - One of the most beautiful brooches Trifari ever produced, this is done with all fuchsia rhinestone ovals and leaves that are set with black diamond rounds. Darkened matte finish silvertone setting. Almost 3 1/2" x 2 1/2" at widest points, excellent condition. I have only had one other of these brooches for sale in the past, to say they are scarce is an understatement, so I am very happy to be able to offer my customers a chance to buy another. You will be thrilled with this piece. (See coordinating pieces in Deanna Farneti Cera's Amazing Gems.) Item: SP2-1233 Price: $245.00 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: ORA Clear Rhinestone Necklace and Bracelet Set - Gorgeous design of graduating bell shaped segments, all pave set (except for the smaller side pieces on the necklace.) Necklace is adjustable, 13" to 15 1/2" (I believe this is meant to be worn as a dog collar); bracelet is slightly over 7", with foldover rhinestone set clasp and safety chain. Rhodium plate, all is in excellent condition and absolutely beautiful. Item: SS2-1005 Price: $145.00/set US   |

Description: Trifari Clear Rhinestone Riviera Brooch and Earrings Set - From 1953, these pieces match an incredible necklace and bracelet that are extremely difficult to find - I have only seen the necklace once. "S" shaped brooch is done with clear baguettes and clear rhinestone pave; matching earrings use the same components. Heavy rhodium plate. These are marked crown Trifari. Brooch is 2" x 1 1/4", earrings are 1 1/8" x 1/2". Slight yellowing of baguettes on the brooch, otherwise excellent condition. These were expensive pieces when produced 60+ years ago.

Description: Trifari Enamel and Rhinestone Butterfly Brooch - A much more recent piece of Trifari, this uses opaque and translucent purple enameling and four purple rhinesotne pears. 2 3/8" x 1 1/2". Trifari with the extended final R and tiny copyright symbol. Excellent condition. I have priced this at about 1/3 of what I have seen it priced at on ebay. Item: SP2-991 Price: $17.50 US |

Description: Crown Trifari Sapphire and Clear Baguette Rhinestone Bracelet - Link style bracelet with clear rhinestone set links alternating with blue baguettes. Rhinstone set foldover hidden clasp. Silvertone setting, very good condition with just a hint of yellowing to some of the clear baguettes. 7" x 3/8". Marked crown Trifari (no copyright) so probably early 1950's. Item: SB2-1148 Price: $65.00 US  |

Description: Mazer Brothers Clear Rhinestone Bracelet and Earrings Set - Apparently the Mazer Brothers signature indicates earlier jewelry for this company, before Joseph left to start Jomaz. This also uses a type of "band" on the bracelet that is found on Boucher pieces; Boucher worked for Mazer before striking out on his own, as well. Bracelet has a center motif of loops using clear pave and channel set baguettes, with two baguette lines culminating in fancy cut pears. Sides are a double line of prong set octagons, with fancy terminals on both ends. Foldover clasp is marked Mazer Brothers; safety chain. Wearable length 7", 1 1/4" at widest point. Earring clips are marked Mazer and feature the same channel set baguette loop and baguette lines that end with fancy cut pears. 1 1/2" x 5/8", excellent original condition, heavy rhodium plate. Lovely set. Item: SS2-1006 Price: $195.00 US Sorry, SOLD!   |

Description: Hattie Carnegie Petite Waterfall Earrings - Done in clear marquise rhinestones and small clear rounds, this design has two marquise in the top row, three in the second, two in the third row, and one on the bottow, with clears on either end and in between the marquises. Like many Carnegie pieces, these are flexible for maximum movement, using foxtail chain as the "spine" that holds the rows together. Signed Carnegie on the ear clip mechanisms, these measure 1 1/2" x 5/8", so a very wearable, elegant size. Silvertone setting, excellent condition. It is easy to see why this company won design awards. Item: SE2-977 Price: $49.50 US |

Description: Crown Trifari Blue Aurora Borealis Rhinestone Earclips - Probably from the late 1950's -early 1960's when aurora borealis stones became the rhinestone of choice, these are in very good to excellent condition and use the top quality clip finding used by Trifari during this time period. The only flaw I can see is that there is some residual glue on one clip finding from an archaic earring pad that I can't dislodge without jeopardizing the silver plate finish. 1" x 13/16". Item: SE2-795 Price: $20.00 US |

Description: Bob Mackie Scarf Clip/Brooch - Done in a combination of red and purple guilloche enamel on goldtone, and accented with clear rhinestones in the center of the flowers, this basket motif brooch/scarf clip combination will look lovely all year round. About 2 3/8" x 2 3/8", in excellent, almost unworn condition, this comes in it's original box, which is actually in very good condition except for being worn on the edges. This is about 20 years old, and was a QVC piece. Mr. Mackie is an award winning clothing designer best known for his work for Carol Burnett on her television show, whose design talents have been also used on items as diverse as collectible Barbie dolls, perfume, and items for the home.
