RARE Antique VICTORIAN STERLING CHERUB Parure FULLY Hallmarked 4 pieces

This 70 gram sterling set is pre-1900 and is one of the most remarkable sets I have ever seen. You have all the original pieces which include TWO large ( 2 1/2”) cherub pins that face each other, screw on earrings and the matching bracelet. One of the unique things about this set is that the facing cherubs hold a different object and are not identical . This means that each piece was made and poured by hand. You can tell by the cherub faces that these are old and not newer reproductions. Lovely child like faces with such charm! The bracelet is 7” long x 1 1/4” wide and is marked in two places “sterling”. It has has a hidden slide in clasp under one of the cherubs. As you can see by the photo next to a dime the brooches are solid and LARGE ( 2 1/2” each). ALL the pieces are marked and all are SOLID silver and not hollow. I have never seen a whole set like this so you know that it is quite a treasure! The parure is in excellent condition and something collectors drool over when they hold it in their hands.

Czech cobalt figural Victorian HUGE bracelet

This massive old bracelet has cobalt BLUE glass czech cameos that have figural deer in the center. I have seen these as buttons and earrings but never in a bracelet. They are listed in a few books that have the old czech pieces and the value they put on just the earrings was over $150.00. This bracelet is just the most wonderful piece of jewelry with its heavy silver metal ( not plated) links that are 2" wide. The smaller links have black insets with black jet rhinestones. This is 7 1/2" long and in excellent condition.

1800's Aesthetic Victorian Garden of EDEN Snake Parure




 For the Goddess in all of us, this antique 1800's gilt brass and glass festoon necklace is something to behold! It has repousse snakes and vines and intaglio glass leaves and is a tremendous work of art as well as jewelry. This is OLD OLD OLD. Even the chain which is etched, is hand soldered. The bib is really long and wide ( 5"' long x 4 1/2" wide) and it is even prettier than the photos. The earrings have gold filled french wires with the grape clusters, the intaglio glass leaf and the snake hanging from them. This is a real book piece and I have never seen another like it. The gilt is rich in deep yellows and there is very little if any verdigras. Quite an impressive parure that measures 15 1/2" long around the neck ( an extender can be added ). Can you imagine the dress this must have been worn with? WOW. Don't miss out at the last minute because this is a real beauty!

Vintage COBALT PORTRAIT LOcket POURED Czech necklace


This is a rarity indeed with the poured Czech glass beads ( no two beads are identical) and this amazing Victorian portrait locket. The cobalt in all the pieces is rich and fit for royalty. The beads are lumpy in shape because each bead is hand done and not cast in a mold where were would be seams. Poured glass is hard to find and when you do it is usually exquisite and rich in color. The beads graduate up to a little over ½" long and between them are floral bead caps. The larger brass filigree beads are gorgeous and they really set off this magnificent cobalt locket. The woman on the front appears to be French and there is black enameling between the ribs of the gilt brass locket. The locket opens on the back and the clasp works well. The necklace is 17" long with an additional 2" for this fancy portrait locket. This is quite a wonderful antique piece and I hope it gets a good home. The beads are in very good condition and the all the gilt brass is rich in patina.

WIDE Gold victorian Cameo SLIDE FANCY Bracelet

This wide golden mesh bracelet has a black victorian Roman head cameo on sardonyx as the center piece. The bracelet slides thru this cameo setting and it has a wonderful etched end that has a fan like shape at the end to prevent it from ever completely unfastening. The width on this is 1” and the longest it will go to is 8 1/2”. It will go most any length that is shorter than that which makes this fit most wrists. I don’t any gold wear except on the side of the setting for the cameo. The mesh is so well made that is feels like silk on your wrist. I think the mesh is gold filled because I can’t find any hallmarks on it. In very good condition this is a really wonderful piece of history.

1800’s GEORGIAN PERIOD JET Mourning CHOKER HAND WROUGHT THREE ROW

WHat a RARE treat this is to own a piece that is almost 200 YEARS OLD. To think it has survived all this times gives me hope this wonderful old treasure will land in a home where it will be lovingly cared for. No machine was used in the making of this and every single faceted jet bead has been soldered to a gilt chain on the back to form this net shaped geometric THREE strand choker. This is 1 1/4” wide and has a slide in bar clasp on the end. The faceted cabachons are 1/2” across and together they form this beautiful mourning necklace. Two cabs are missing near the clasp.

1800’s GEORGIAN Period 14KT GOLD 900 Pearl necklace & Case

These are the tiniest genuine seed pearls I have ever seen actually strung on a necklace. Probably one of the most feminine necklaces from that period too. These have a Georgian period 1kt gold ( marked) open metal work fancy clasp that is really well made. We think these may have been for a child or a very small neck woman. The photos don’t show you how delicate and tiny they are, but if you look at the photo next to a dime you can see they must be on thread as fine as angel hair. This is the case we got them in and it is from a NY gold manufacturer. The length of these rare and beautiful pearls is 15 1/2”. These are so well made that when you drape them over your wrist to show someone they hang like a silken metal chain. There are well over 900 pearls on this as well. Truly a rare piece that belongs in a museum.

Rare Georgian SPider Filigree JET Mourning Drop NEcklace


 
This is such an exquisite and intricate hand wrought metal lace necklace that it is more like a work of art than a piece of jewelry. Notice the faceted black jet beads that inside the fancy filigree drops. There are two smaller drops from the florette in the center as well. The top is some sort of European silver ( the florettes) and each is hand soldered. The larger moth shaped drops are actually arched ( the photos don't show it that well) and they have a lot of dimension which really makes this necklace. The length around the neck is 16" ( an extender could easily be added ) and the drop is 3 1/2" long x 5" wide. Made in tiers this is so fabulous that you can only admire all the work it had to have taken to make this GRAND GEORGIAN necklace. Lots of dark patina on the necklace really shows how old this is. The top florettes test at some degree under sterling, but the bottom is more of a silver gilt . IT is a rare piece indeed and I doubt you ever see another like it.

This dates pre-1900. The underside of the piece is marked with a fleur de lis and Apollo Silver Company - quadruple plate - and 756. LOVELY repousse cherubs are hugging and sitting around what looks like an arrow. The sides are also repousse and the pretty fancy feet are the nicest finishing touch. This is very old, has not been cleaned and has lots of dark patina on it. No dings or dents. Probably would have been a vanity item such as a trinket box. It
measures 3" wide and 2 1/2" tall.

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!!!!!

Rare 1870 14KT gold taille d epergne hinged tassel PIN



This is for a 14kt gold Victorian pendant brooch with taille d’ epergne enamel that is from the 1870’s. You can see a smaller version ( which I also have) of this in the "Collecting Victorian Jewelry " by Jeanenne Bell on page 148 and it has a price of 395.00. This not only has the top round piece but also the three sided drop. This measures 2 1/3" long and 1 ½" wide. It has white enamel fleur de lis on the tops with a black knot over them. The tassel has the most delicate work on it and in in great shape on all sides. It weighs 6 grams. A little of the enamel work is not perfect but considering its age I guess that is to be expected. The back has been professional re-soldered with the original pin. In order to maintain the original piece it does not hinge out as usual but is still perfectly capable of being attached to clothes. This is such a rare piece that I doubt you will see another like it .

RARE ANTIQUE Ming Dynasty AESTHETIC STERLING SPIDER hair ornaments or Place CARD HOLDERS
 
This is for one of two sets of antique sterling spun spider web large place card holders or Chinese hair ornaments from the 17th Century (Ming period or later) that I have and I can guarantee they are very rare indeed. Completely hand wrought with SIX spiders and webs that are very realistic too!. These measure 2 1/2" across and each is a bit individual from each other. In the late 1800's, Darwin's controversial theories on evolution, as well as new botanical discoveries taking place, created popular interest in the natural world. Some are typical jewelry items, for example - gem set butterflies, gold houseflies, enameled beetles, silver monkeys, etc. But there are also more unusual forms of ornaments. These can be used to hold the place cards for dinner tables and to hold a persons calling card ( because the part that fits in the hair acts a little stand) or as hair ornaments. These are really rare so don't miss out at the last minute.
