Jewelry
Signed ART
Offering high quality jewelry with an emphasis on medieval and renaissance style, ART was has been in business since the late 1940's. But the heyday of this company came during the 1960's when they
produced for us dozens of interpretations of ethnic Asian figural jewelry,
Egyptian revival large metal pectorals, Maltese crosses, and an entire line of jewelry with delightful small enameled flowers. Most collectible besides the Christmas tree pins are the
Maltese crosses and the enameled daisy jewels; but the hardest to find pieces are decadent rhinestone
sets that are very similar to Florenza jewelry. The prices of jewelry signed ART(c) will only continue to rise.

Deco Look MOP Bracelet Signed Art Mother of pearl and black enamel set in silvertone links make this bracelet so deco that for a minute I thought it was the real deal from the 1920's. But the ART signature dates this beauty to the 1950's when black and white as well as the art moderne style, with similarities to deco, were in full swing. Actually, this is a very scarce find by ART from their early days. The bracelet features genuine Mother of pearl inlay. Next to black enamel, the contrast creates a clean, dramatic look. Bracelet clasps at 7 1/8" and is 1 1/4" wide, is signed (c)ART and is in Very Good condition with some bits of old glue in crevices that can be seen mainly under magnification. You'll be too busy accepting compliments to ever think about it! $42

Tawny Autumn
Floral Demi Signed ART.
If you are a knitter or crotchetier, you may recall the color of yarn called "tawny." It was a combination of colors that appear in this fantastic hand enameled floral demi by ART. As a redhead, I loved the tawny colors year around, but these can't be worn by any complexion, but the colors will definitely enhance certain hair and eye colors and spark up lackluster outfits. Imagine these enameled jewels against olive green, white, khaki, taupes or even purplish beiges. You can do delightful things with this happy set with green leaves, golden brown flowers with orange center and bright yellow streaks and dark brown stems. The jewelry is enameled front and back! The brooch is nearly 4" tall; the clip back earrings are 1". All pieces are signed ART(c) under the paint. Very Good to Excellent. $48
