Lorgnette EXQUISITE Vintage 19th Century Opera Glasses
    
Top quality antique glasses such as these are quite remarkable. Opera Glasses are hand held spectacles (eyeglasses) that were fashionable during the Victorian and Edwardian periods (third quarter of the 1800's to 1920). Theater binoculars which were known for being discreet and compact low-power binoculars were usually used at performance events such as Shows, Operas, Ballet, Musicals and Plays.
The Iridescent pastels on these reflect a rich rainbow of high lights. French Lemaire glasses were one of the first of these beauties to be used in the early 1800’s . These are mechanical opera glasses with extending and detachable lorgnette handle. Beautiful mother of pearl paneling surround both the handle and the binoculars in a bright hue.
The mechanism on this pair is truly a work of art, you can extend and detach the lorgnette handle and use it is for focusing the binocular barrels as well!
Marked on the eyepieces with a B enclosed in a lozenge The making of fine opera glasses entailed knowledge not only in optics. Each glass was worked on by painters, goldsmiths and other artists.
By the second half of the 19th century they had become essential fashion accessories for theatre- goers. Many opera glasses were given as gifts and tributes, as can be learned from the inscriptions found on many of them. By the second half of the 19th century they had become essential fashion accessories for theatre- goers. These are beautiful enough to display and are in very good working order that you can actually take them with you the opera and use them. They have been well cared for and are in very good condition. They measure 4" wide and 2" tall . The handle goes from 10" to 17 ½". long. What A TREASURE~!

VINTAGE AUSTRO HUNGARIAN Jewel Encrusted BRACELET
     
This is one of the most amazing bracelets I have seen in a long time. The pierced gilt metal work on the back gives this bracelet much richness in quality. The etruscan metal work on the front, added with these BRILLIANT raised glass stones ( no dead ones or dark ones) is amazing. The rhinestones are much more like real diamonds than the photos. This is a wide one too ( 1 1/2") and it has hinges on each side. The Jewel encrusted sides and back really make this an outstanding piece. This is in great shape and measures 6" when totally closed but can fit a size 7 because it is made to have a gap on the back like a cuff. But for the teeny wrist women this is perfect if you like a closed back bracelet. For high end collectors this is a real treasure!!!!! $475.00 Please use this # when ordering ga33335

Antique 1800's CAMEO ORIG BOX Wreath CROWN NR
This is an early 1800’s Shell relief cameo and is in what I think is the original box.
   Cameos, hardstones carved in relief, were first explored in antiquity but gained popularity at the sixteenth-century court of Emperor Rudolf II in Prague; the city became famous for the cutting and fashioning of stones.
Employing stonecutters from Italy, the Netherlands, and Germany, Rudolf encouraged a cultural renaissance in cameos as well as in other arts. Both the cameo medium and the ancient Roman subject matter reflect the court's great interest in reviving antiquity.
During the Renaissance, Pope Paul II was an avid cameo collector. According to history, this love ultimately led to his death. His excessive display of carved gems and stones on his fingers kept his hands so cold that he caught the chill that meant his death.
This is an unset cameo that has a highly detailed roman head with the wreath of leaves around it. It has not been cleaned. This measures a little under 1 ½" long and 1 ¼" wide. The box is 2 ¾" x 2" and has a jeweler ( spelled C G Paulsen Juveler ( guildsmed ) .It is a real treat to own this and hope it finds its way to a very good home!

There are lots of old sterling bracelets out there but this one has some extra bells and whistles that none of them have. And every piece you see that is marked Siam is usually Nielloware.

This has its original safety chain and the neat old crown sliding catch. Inside it is marked Siam sterling and is you know anything about Siam jewelry, there were two lines. One was the hindu enamel goddesses and then the higher quality line like these. This measures 7" long on the inside and is ½" wide. IT is so well made that when you wear it there is perfect balance.

RARE SCARAB 10kt gold AESTHETIC 1800's Enamel stick PIN

What a really rare piece this it. Not only does it have the old scarab but it has a flag from the 1800’s on its back. The pin stem is 10kt gold. The top is not. Not the best shape but such a rare piece that I doubt you will ever see another like it. This measures 2" long. IT is all original. Just a little history on how insects became a part of the fashion world. The aesthetic period brought about some of the most unusual pieces .In the late 1800's, Darwin's controversial theories on evolution, as well as new botanical discoveries taking place, created quite an interest in the natural world. Personal adornments and vanity items reflected these new interests with jewelry created in forms of insects and animals. $110.00 Please use this # when ordering SOLD

BIZARRE Victorian 14kt ROSE GOLD CLAW & Genuine CORAL Ball Stick pin
 
The Romantic era and Darwin's theory brought about a new fascination with nature, adding Eden-like symbols such as the serpent, grapes, flowers, and birds to the 'romantic' motif. This , to me is one of the more mysterious symbols. Reminds you of Medieval times when birds would hold the jewels of the queen. This is 14kt rose gold and it holds a real angelskin coral ball that is 10mm. Angelskin coral was popular in the victorian period and is pretty hard to find anymore. This one measures 2 3/4" long and stands out 1/2" wide. In great shape with nice detail this is a real collectible. THe ribs on the pin were to hold delicate materials in place.

Vintage AMETHYST LOCKET Bookchain necklace
   
There is nothing prettier than deep amethyst and rich patina on old Victorian pieces of jewelry . This one has a large locket with beautifully engraved work and high relief with layers of rich decorations. The locket is quite large ( 2" x 1 ½") and is really thick ( ¾"). IT has both photo covers inside as well as the frames. The bookchain is exquisite with rich raised relief and as you look at it from the sides you can see how these really resemble a book. I think this was cleaned years ago because there is residue inside the links from a cleaner. The clasp is solid gold. The length of the chain is 17" long. The back of the locket has spots were it shows wear. The amethyst is a beautiful purple and in very good condition. This is a lovely piece from the Victorian era that has sustained its life for all these years . These were made to hold the photos and or hair of loved ones and just the thought of how it was intended and how it must have been used can only bring s sense of good Karma and love. I hope it gets a good ome.

GORGEOUS ENAMEL BOOKCHAIN Egyptian Necklace & Earrings
     
Right from the 1900’s comes this massive highly collectible book chain choker ( earrings are a free bonus and not original to it).I also have a matching bracelet and brooch on Go Antiques. This pendant has turquoise and coral enamel as well as a huge turquoise cab center stones and two accent stones. The pendant is a whopping 3" long with metal work on it that is just amazing. The tiny scrolled work around the bezel and the raised relief metal bead work is right out of a Cleopatra movie. And it is HEAVY. The enamel book chain is made of 60 links with beaded circles. The part around the neck is 15". I believe the clasp has lost its color or it was replaced many years ago ( it is not newer). This is a piece for high end collectors and one that will get you a LOT of compliments, In all my years of selling and buying I have never seen another like it. The earrings are a bonus and they went well with it. They are clip on with turquoise insets and seed pearl adornments. They are 1 ¾" long. There is some wear on them.

1800"S rose GOLD PINCHBECK ENAMEL PAIR of mourning bracelets with Snake heads

Truly a rarity to find one of these but to find the ORIGINAL PAIR IS a real feat!! These are some of the prettiest wedding and or mourning bracelets that I have seen and they are so highly detailed that you can't help but be enamoured with them! These have hand wrought and hammered ends with the shape of a snake head and the black band is black enamel. Usually wedding bracelets were given in paird and is it possible that these would have had gold bands to begin with. If a loved one passed away, many pieces of jewelry were converted into mourning jewelry which was black to show respect to their memory. These have enough flexibility to move from side to side to be put on, but will not fit any wrist larger than a 6 ( that is what they actually measure on the inside. Other than a few flecks of black enamel loss they are in very good well loved condition. Don't miss out at the last minute, these will be gone fast!!

1920 ART DECO EXQUISITE SIGNED FILIGREE watchband
 
This is one of the most feminine art deco filigree watch bands I have ever seen. Not only is it extremely well made but it is signed Lorna on the back ( with pat pending next to the name). The filigree is just gorgeous and even the sides are filigree. This is hinged all the way around and it graduates from ¼" to 1/3" at the ends so it will gracefully accept a watch. This would be so beautiful on an art deco enamel or diamond watch! This measures 5 ¼" long and it stretches like speidels do so you don’t have to latch it once you have the watch on. What is great about this is that the way you put the watch on requires NO TECHNICAL skills or a jeweler. The ends have a push in part on the inside like a bale for a pendant is and you just slip your watch bar on the side of your watch in. In great shape this is well worth buying because it is a true period piece.

Stunning Victorian Coral Marcasite BOOKCHAIN BIB necklace
   
Loaded with layers of thick gilt work and accented with antique marcasites this lovely antique choker is even prettier than the photos. The seed pearls bring it into the Edwardian era and with the bookchain, I would say it is a transitional piece from the victorian to Edwardian era. This measures 18” long around the neck and the bib is 5” x 1 1/3”. Gentle wear to the gold ( mostly on the back). Wonderful period piece!.

Fabulous CZECH Lapis deco BOOKCHAIN DROP necklace
  
Just look at all the detailed metal filigree work on this beautiful OLD necklace. It dates prior to the 20’s and has a wide bookchain necklace. The center piece is filled with lapis color glass stones ( sometimes called Montana blue) and from the pendant are two filigree drops with pearl accents. The necklace measures 20” long with an additional 2” for this pretty center piece. This has good weight to it and other than the wear to the gilding on the back is in very good condition. I just love the rich patina on the brass that shows that it is old and wonderful!
