Price: $38


This beautiful gold tone Art Nouveau style pin has a gorgeous center stone that shows blue in the center but a rich purple hue is evident around the edges of the stone. I'm afraid I couldn't pick that up with my camera. What I did pick up was an image in the center that looks to me like a cat's face. At first I thought it was my photo setup reflecting in the stone, but at certain angles, it actually shows up in the stone. What a conversation piece! The pin on back has a slight bend, otherwise excellent condition.

The pendant loop has a hinge allowing it to be used as a pearl enhancer too!

Donna Karan??? I don't know. This pewter bracelet has very large, somewhat concave links and a toggle clasp. It measures 7" on the EZ Bracelet Sizer but is much longer when you lay it on a ruler because of the large links. If this bracelet actually measured 7" on the ruler, only a child would be able to wear it. My wrist measures just shy of 6 1/2" and it fits me fine.

Doncaster necklace
Doncaster®
Click to enlarge

Price: $45


Casual piece with the necklace part made of some sort of woven material in two colors (brown & lt.tan) braided and capped on either end with matte gold tone findings. At first I thought the material was leather, but I'm really not sure about that. The matte gold tone pendant hangs on the necklace by two wide bales and is rectangular with a brown/white faux(?) agate cabechon in the center and beading across each corner. There is also a heavily etched "v" in each corner. The picture of the back of the pendant shows some black areas that I originally thought were plating loss, but it was actually something on the surface that I was able to remove with acetone, so those black areas are no longer there.
I can almost hear you say "Who is Doncaster?" With a little research I found that they are the largest direct selling division of the Tanner Companies, a women’s apparel manufacturer. http://www.doncaster.com/home/index.asp. In an article by J. Holly Dolloff from the Nashville Business Journal the author writes
"Both the Doncaster and Carlisle lines offer everything from casual wear to evening pieces, jewelry and accessories. The typical buyer of such clothes is a professional woman with a high disposable income who is willing to invest in high-quality materials and classic designs. The prices tend to be on the high side - jackets, for instance, range from $300 to $700. But that price also carries personalized service that isn't likely to be found in a store."

The center is an almost olivine color with the petals being faux topaz, faux amethyst and faux ruby. The matching clip earrings are single petals having the faux amethyst cabochons. There is a spot of foil damage on one of the faux topaz cabochons and I had to turn the brooch slightly when doing the photo to make it visable to you.
