Albion (dates unknown)
Item si2239 Albion Click to enlarge Price: $239	Deco style parure from the rarely seen Albion Jewelers of Chicago, IL. There is almost no information about this company but what there is out there says they started in 1955. I question that due to the style of this set and the lack of a Š symbol with their mark. The rhodium plated choker style necklace, link bracelet and dangle clip earrings all contain emerald cut aquamarine rhinestones & round crystal rhinestones. The necklace has a kind of J hook, but it is different from any I have ever seen. The bracelet has a fold over clasp and the earrings have very early clips. There is one dead stone in the necklace and there are some slightly yellowing stones scattered through out the set but nothing that affects the wearability of this parure as is. If not for this, condition would have been listed as excellent. This parure would be perfect for the bride who wants to add just a hint of color on her wedding day. Earrings: Width: 7/8 in. Height: 1 1/4 in. Condition: very good Bracelet: Width: 7/8 in. Length: 7 1/2 in. Condition: very good Necklace: Width: 1 1/2 in. Length: 12 1/2 - 16 in. Condition: very good
Alva (1957 - 1999?)
Item gp333e ALVA Click to enlarge	This coppery gold tone moth is quite large and has anchors for the link chain on either side. Width: 3 in. Height: 1 3/4 in. Length: 22 in. Condition: very good
Accessocraft (1930 - 1998)
	Sorry, this designer is currently out of stock.
Art (1950 - 1980)
Item si2843 ARTŠ Click to enlarge Price: $45	Pretty victorian style pin in gold tone with crystal and emerald rhinestones with a large oval emerald colored cabochon. Width: 2 1/8 in. Height: 1 1/2 in. Condition: very good
Item si2207 ArtŠ Click to enlarge Price: $38	Gold tone sea shell pin with the upper portion being heavily textured and set with ruby, emerald and sapphire colored rhinestones. The lower portion has a finish that is somewhere between matte and shiny and there is a large faux pearl nestled at one end. Width: 2 1/8 in. Height: 1 1/4 in. Condition: very good
Item gp289q ARTŠ Click to enlarge Price: $42	Brushed silver tone necklace in somewhat of a shell design with black diamond rhinestones. Length is adjustable from 13 to 16 inches with a J hook clasp. Width: 3/4 in. Length: 13-16 in. Condition: very good
Item gp326a Art Click to enlarge Price: $40	This enameled floral must have come from the imagination of the artist because the flowers are shaped like dogwood but the oranges and yellows are not colors that dogwoods come in. The are a few small chips in the enamel but not enough to downgrade condition significantly. Width: 2 3/8 in. Height: 4 in. Condition: very good
Item gp302f Art Click to enlarge Price: $45	This gold tone jeweled leaf is very three dimensional. Milky blue navette cabochons are combined with pear shaped peridot colored rhinestones and lt sapphire colored round rhinestones. All stones are glue set. Width: 1 7/8 in. Height: 2 in. Condition: very good
Item gp336e ŠArt Click to enlarge Price: $60	Gold tone pin and clip earring set featuring pastel colored lucite flowers with rhinestone centers on two stems with enameled leaves. The earrings have one flower at the ear and two on a dangling stem. Earrings: Width: 7/8 in. Length: 1 3/4 in. Condition: very good Pin: Width: 1 7/8 in. Height: 1 3/4" Condition: very good
Item si2440 Art Click to enlarge Price: $38	Gold tone pin featuring a yellow enameled mum type flower with a center dome of aurora borealis rhinestones and green enameled leaves. Just a few tiny nicks to the enameling on the edges of a couple of petals, none of which are really noticeable. Width: 2 in. Height: 2 7/8 in. Condition: very good
Item si1281 ArtŠ Click to enlarge Price: $34	Pretty portrait pin featuring an ornate gold tone frame adorned with tiny faux pearls and faux carnelian beads. There is some discoloration on the back of the pin but the front is perfect. Width: 1 5/8 in. Height: 2 in. Condition: good
Ballet (dates unknown)
Item si1977 Ballet Click to enlarge Price: $35	A well made gold tone leaf pin with rhinestone veins and a faux pearl center. The front of the leaf has a florentine finish, except for the stem, and the back has a smooth, shiny finish that looks almost like fine jewelry. Width: 1 1/2 in. Height: 2 1/4 in. Condition: very good
Barclay (1946 - late 1950's)
Item si691 Barclay Click to enlarge Price: $55	This lovely floral motif bracelet is done in silver tone metal with clear and pale blue rhinestones. Each of the four links is made up of what reminds me of an overturned basket on which sits a spray of seven clear rhinestones followed by a flower with a light blue rhinestone center surrounded by smaller clear rhinestones. Width: 1 in. Length: 7 1/2 in. Condition: very good
Beau Jewels (1950's - 1970's)
Item gp222a Beau Jewels Click to enlarge Price: $23	This enameled leaf has an applied blue bird which is also enameled. It appears to be carrying something that is red, but I can't figure out what it is supposed to be. The enamel shows some wear but this is still a very wearable piece. Width: 2 1/8 in. Height: 2 3/8 in Condition: good
Item si1989 Beau Jewels Click to enlarge Price: $18	Lite weight floral clip earrings with a large, lavender, plastic cab center. Around the cab are flowers of tiny purple beads with an a/b chaton center. Those tiny flowers are repeated on the outer edge, alternating with lavender molded plastic leaves. I know for fact that these earrings have never been worn, but there is something that looks like black paint in the indention of a swirl on the back. If not for this, the condition would be excellent. Dia.: 1 1/2 in. Condition: very good
Item gp336m Beau Jewels Click to enlarge Price: $45	Large floral pin and clip earrings set featuring shades of topaz in navettes and slim navettes with bright orange flower centers and round accent stones in a color that I just can't name. At one angle they look almost yellow but at another I can see more green in them. Which ever, they accent nicely. Only the earrings are marked. Beau Jewels, Judy Lee and other lower quality jewelry with this swedged construction were made to to get "the look" without the cost and therefore did not use the quality stones you would see in Trifari, Eisenberg or other top designer lines. The fact that these pieces have survived 50+ years is nothing short of amazing but the stones are not perfect. If you look very closely you can see some spotting in the foil that backs some of the stones. For this reason the condition was downgraded from excellent to very good. The pictures are close-ups taken under bright lighting and are not manipulated in any way. Earrings: Width: 1 1/8 in. Height: 1 1/2 in. Condition: very good Pin: Width: 2 1/2 in. Height: 3 3/8 in. Condition: very good
Benedikt (dates unknown)
Item si2853 ŠBenedikt N.Y. Click to enlarge Price: $40	Pretty textured golden flower with a cluster of sapphire colored rhinestones and faux pearls set on stems in the center. Stem and petal edges are shiny gold tone for accent. I've seen the identical pin signed Pauline Rader so this must have been made by a manufacturer who sold to many like DeLizza & Elster did. Width: 1 3/4 in. Height: 2 1/2 in. Condition: very good
Les Bernard (1963 - 1996)
Item gp270e Les Bernard Click to enlarge Price: $35	This multi-strand necklace alternates strands of red and white plastic beads and has a square gold tone push-in clasp with a large red cabochon. With its 16 in. length it lays nicely at the base of your neck. Condition: very good
Item g214f Les Bernard Click to enlarge	This fabulous runway set is done in gold tone with emerald green marbled lucite cabechons and beads. Each bead is sandwiched between either clear rhinestones rhondelles or lacy gold tone caps. In addition to the lucite beads there are also two rhinestone balls and two satin finish gold tone beads. The centerpiece of this necklace is a whopping 7.5 inches long! The earrings are clips. In spite of it's massive size, it is lite weight and comfortable to wear. This set is just outstanding! Be sure to click on the link to see the big picture. Necklace: Length: 21 in. Condition: excellent Earrings: Length: 2 in. Condition: excellent
Item gp244b Les Bernard Click to enlarge Price: $25	Matinee length necklace alternating pairs of faux jade beads with single nubby goldtone spacer beads. Necklace has a spring ring clasp. Length: 21 in. Condition: very good
Item si2297 Les Bernard Click to enlarge Price: $29	Clip earrings featuring a pink art glass bead surrounded with pink faceted beads all wired on to a gold tone perforated backing. Dia.: 7/8 in. Condition: very good
Item gp283i Les Bernard Click to enlarge Price: $20	Clip earrings with a large oval imitation pearl center surrounded by clear rhinestones set in silver tone. Width: 3/4 in. Height: 15/16 in. Condition: very good
Boucher (1937 - early 1970's)
Item si1747 Marcel Boucher Click to enlarge	Marked with the Phygrian cap. Numbers are worn so that the only one I'm sure about is the number 9 on the end. The gold tone pin has two domes, joined by a bridge of emerald green chatons with curly-q's on either end. Width: 2 1/8 in. Height: 1 1/8 in. Condition: very good
Item si1288 ŠBoucher 6596 Click to enlarge Price: $78	This fur clip must have come along towards the end of the popularity of fur clips since it is clearly a mid to late 50's piece. The layers of ridged gold tone feathers are each topped with both emerald colored and crystal rhinestones. There is a receptacle on back to hold one prong of the fur clip to make sure it doesn't fall off. Width: 1 1/2 in. Height: 1 5/8 in. Condition: excellent
Item si2036 ŠBoucher 7296 Click to enlarge Price: $75	Interesting pin made in two separate pieces secured by brads. The bottom piece is silver tone and set with a cluster of round crystal rhinestones in a semi-circle. The top piece is gold tone and consists of two levels of ribbed rolls that occupy the center of the semi-circle. A very three dimensional piece. Width: 2 in. Height: 1 7/8 in. Condition: very good
Item gp322a ŠBoucher 8376P Click to enlarge Price: $30	Marked Pansy on the stem. Another of the flower of the month series. I think the pearl center is a cultured pearl. This gold tone pansy unfortunately has some finish wear on the edges of some petals but is still very wearable as you have to look closely to notice. I didn't notice it until I zoomed in with my camera. It is priced accordingly. Width: 1 3/4 in Height: 2 1/4 in. Condition: good
Brookcraft (dates unknown but mentioned in 1945 Vogue)
Item si1629 Brookcraft Click to enlarge Price: $49	Choker length necklace consisting of a wide, flat, gold tone chain with three gold tone domes attached, the largest in the center. Each of the domes has etched stars with crystal rhinestones set in the center of each. Clasp is the fold-over type. Width: 1 in. Length: 15 in. Condition: very good
BSK (dates unknown)
Item si1444 ŠBSK Click to enlarge Price: $40	I was amazed when I turned this pin over and saw the mark because the quality is much better than most BSK jewelry I've seen over the years. The petals of this flower have enameling that is shaded from yellow to a beige color. The domed center has pavé set rose colored rhinestones. The stem has a pale green enamel. Other than some small flea bites to the edges of the petals, this pin is in excellent condition and nicely made. Width: 2 7/8 in. Height: 2 1/2 in. Condition: very good
Item si3159 BSK Click to enlarge Price: $75	This is a part of the famous My Fair Lady series. The golden cart is full of flower enameled in pastel colors with crystal rhinestone centers. A must for the My Fair Lady collector! Width: 2 in. Height: 1 3/8 in. Condition: very good
Item si3186 BSKŠ Click to enlarge Price: $42	This gracefully curving leaf pin is edged in small crystal rhinestones. The rosey gold tone finish is textured except for the stem down the center. Pin stem has some plating loss. Width: 3 in. Height: 1 3/8 in. Condition: very good
Item si2679 ŠBSK Click to enlarge	Yummy ear of corn pin done in enamel and crushed green stones with a single faux pearl set at the side. Aside from the pearl it is so realistic. If not for some enamel loss on the actual corn (leaving bright gold kernels, not dark as they appear in picture) condition would have been listed as excellent. Width: 2 7/8 in. Height: 7/8 in. Condition: very good
Item si1621 ŠBSK Click to enlarge Price: $22	A gold tone floral featuring both florentine and smooth finishes on the stems and leaves with two faux turquoise beaded flowers. There are two spots of plating loss that are hard to see but I do want to mention them. One is on the stem area on the right flower and the other is on one of the shiny petals close to the turquoise beads on the same flower. Width: 1 3/4 in. Height: 2 3/8 in. Condition: good
Item si2595 ŠBSK Click to enlarge Price: $25	This is a very pale gold tone fruit pin, though I'm not sure what kind of fruit, featuring sapphire aurora borealis rhinestones with emerald green navette rhinestones representing the leaves on the stem. There is a small spot of plating loss on the stem, close to the junction of the leaves, otherwise excellent condition. Width: 1 in. Height: 1 7/8 in. Condition: good
Cadoro (1945 - 1980's)
Item si2244 ŠCadoro Click to enlarge Price: $42	A wide silver tone bar type pin featuring large square black glass stones surrounded by pavé crystal rhinestones in a domed effect. Width: 3 3/8 in. Height: 1 1/8 in. Condition: excellent
Item gp317g Cadoro unsigned Click to enlarge	This impressively large adjustable ring has a bypass setting with each end reminding me of golden laurel holding an oval coral colored cabochon. I think the cabochon is some sort of plastic, but I'm not sure of that. The adjustment is inside so it doesn't look adjustable when being worn. It will fit up to a size 7. Thanks to the latest issue of VFCJ (Vol. 19 No. 3 2009) I now know that this ring is an unsigned Cadoro. Width: 1 1/16 in. Condition: very good
Capri (1952 - 1977)
Item si1144 ŠCapri Click to enlarge Price: $25	Gold tone leaf with one side having a florentine finish and the other set with various shapes of faux turquois and a single faux ruby. Width: 2 3/4 in. Height: 1 1/8 in. Condition: very good
Item si3497 CapriŠ Click to enlarge	Pretty lacy textured gold tone flower pin with light blue and lime green enameling. Width: 2 3/8 in. Height: 2 3/8 in. Condition: very good
Item gp0313hh ŠCapri Click to enlarge Price: $32	This cute little turtle is an odd color....somewhere between bronze and golden. His shell looks like many twisted cords, but is somewhat solid from the back. He has crystal rhinestones set in all four legs and his head and two red rhinestones for eyes. Dimensions below were taken as picture is shown. Width: 2 1/2 in. Height: 1 3/4 in. Condition: very good
Item g204b ŠCapri Click to enlarge Price: $16	This florentine finished, gold tone, stylized leaf has many scales to make it just a little different from your everyday leaf pins. There is contrasting smooth gold tone on the center "veins" as well as on both ends where a gentle twist reveals it. Great for office wear! Width: 3 3/4 in. Height: 7/8 in. Condition: very good
Hattie Carnegie (1918 - 1970's)
Item si1456 ŠHattie Carnegie Click to enlarge Price: $130	This gold tone pin is set with carved oval art glass stones in the color of amethyst and pear shaped art glass cabs with shades of blue and pink. Pink aurora borealis and amethyst colored chatons are set between the art glass stones. At just a slightly higher level are four flowers of pink aurora borealis rhinestones. In the center is a fifth flower, surrounded by amethyst colored chatons. Width: 2 1/8 in. Height: 2 1/8 in. Condition: excellent
Item si2613 Hattie Carnegie Click to enlarge	Small, but cute as it can be skunk pin with a stipe of crystal rhinestones down his back and a coppery colored enameled body. If not for the stripe I may have taken him for a squirrel because I've never seen a skunk this color. I chalk it up to artistic license. Width: 1 5/8 in. Height: 7/8 in. Condition: very good
Item si2195 Hattie Carnegie Click to enlarge Price: $95	Bouquet of pink enameled flowers with pink rhinestone centers and a spray of light blue rhinestones on long stems held in a white enameled lace doily. There is enamel loss on several of the flower petals, otherwise excellent condition. Width: 1 3/4 in. Height: 2 1/4 in. Condition: very good
Item si2090 Carnegie Click to enlarge Price: $100	Marked Carnegie in script. This triple strand of glass beads imitates turquoise, coral, shell and pearls. There are tiny gold tone beads between each of the glass beads with silver tone spacers that remind me of small bolts between some. Clasp is a "J" hook. Matching clip earrings are included. Earrings: Width: 1 in. Height: 1 1/8 in. Condition: very good Necklace: Length(shortest strand): 14 1/2-16 1/2 in. Condition: very good
Item gp0308e Hattie Carnegie Click to enlarge Price: $79	I believe these navette cabs are the black diamond color, but being set at an angle so that they form an upside down "v" shape, they look almost a blue/grey. At the point of the "v" are silver tone tabs bent over in alternating directions. On each end are set two black rhinestone chatons and there are also two chatons set on top of the push in clasp. Safety chain is intact. If you are a lady with a larger wrist and have trouble finding vintage bracelets to wear, this bracelet is for you. It is a full 8 inches long! Width: 3/4 in. Length: 8 in. Condition: very good
Castlecliff (1918 - 1977)
Item si1430 ŠCastlecliff Click to enlarge Price: $49	I'm afraid I don't know what kind of flower this is, but it's gold tone and has 5 rhinestones in the center in blues and greens. Width: 1 1/4 in. Height: 2 3/8 in. Condition: very good
Cathe (1961 - ?)
	Sorry, this designer is currently out of stock.
Alice Caviness (1940 - 1965)
Item si736 Alice Caviness Click to enlarge Price: $125	24 strands of 2.5mm imitation pearls to drape around your neck with a matte gold tone push in clasp of 3 holly leafs on each side. These are long enough to hang nicely between the breasts or wrap twice around your neck, choker style, with the clasp in front. Length: 31 in. Condition: very good
Charel (1945 - ?)
Item si2480 Charel Click to enlarge Price: $20	Silver tone flower screwback earrings with teardrop shaped emerald colored rhinestones surrounding a crystal rhinestone center. There is no copyright symbol so these were probably made prior to 1955. Dia.: 1/2 in. Condition: very good
Item si3447 Charel Click to enlarge Price: $31	Clip earrings featuring dazzling red aurora borealis rhinestones clustered in the center of a gold tone floral type setting. Diameter: 1 3/8 in. Condition: very good
Ciner (1892 - present)
Item si1132 Ciner Click to enlarge Price: $125	Gold tone heavy, flattened link choker necklace with five large (3/4 in.) oval, bezel set stones in green, pink, pale yellow, light blue and lavender. Clasp is box/push in type. Aside from a tiny nick on the pink stone and some wear to the foil on the points on back of the stones, this necklace is in excellent condition. Width: 5/8 in. Length: 15 1/2 in. Condition: very good
Item si2102 CinerŠ Click to enlarge Price: $110	As with much of the jewelry that Ciner made, you really have to look to make sure that these are not fine jewelry. The imitation pearl cabs and the pavé set crystal rhinestones really look like diamonds and pearls next to the jet black enameling. There appears to be an over-run on the enameling on the bottom of one earring that looks as though it was a production error, not a touch-up. Width: 1 in. Height: 2 7/8 in. Condition: very good
Claudette (1945 - ?)
Item si1847 ŠClaudette Click to enlarge Price: $35	Pin and clip earring set in pale gold tone with peach colored thermoset leaves(?). Minimal wear to the plating on the back of the pin. Earrings: Dia.: 1 1/2 in. Condition: excellent Pin: Width: 2 in. Height: 2 in. Condition: very good


Craft (1948 - present) Gem-Craft
Item si2939 CraftŠ Click to enlarge Price: $45	Gold tone bow pin by Gem-Craft full of crystal rhinestones with a large emerald cut red glass stone in the center. Width: 3 1/8 in. Height: 1 1/8 in. Condition: very good
Item si2938 CraftŠ Click to enlarge Price: $48	Large gold tone lions head pin by the Gem-Craft Corp of Rhode Island. His flowing mane is set with crystal rhinestones. The green rhinestone eye adds to his ferocious look. Width: 2 1/2 in. Height: 2 3/8 in. Condition: very good
