Red Hot Chunky
Juliana Rhinestone Brooch You're going all the way today, and that means dressing up that little black dress in ruby red and passionate purple. In fact, when you gaze into the wonders of this brooch you'll spot another flash of color--hot pink chatons peeking from under the unique gold mesh bands which look as if they are there to keep a little volcano from exploding! This is the brooch of love, loaded with prong set open back navettes, ovals and the round chatons in gold tone. The brooch is dome shaped, rising a full 7/8" from top to bottom, which is why it seems so much bigger than it's 3 1/8" length. Even if you're dressed demurely, when you wear this lengthwise under your collar he's going to think of cleavage. Enjoy year around--this can be your signature piece. But be careful; you may be playing with fire.... Excellent condition. $62

Exquisite Maltese Cross Brooch/ Pendant Signed ART. This is one of the most detailed and well designed medieval revival jewels of the 1960's. A fine array of crystal clear rhinestones as well as topaz, amethyst & emerald rhinestones with faux carnelian cabs are encrusted over an elaborately beaded textured Florentine antiqued gold tone base jewel. The cross is high in quality with three layers of cross motifs in one. You can see from the back of the jewel that the layers are riveted. We have the antiqued gold base layer, then the bejeweled second layer and finally a center of with a pointed sunray motif paved with diamante. The brooch also doubles as pendant; included is a good quality 30" gold tone chain that, while not the original chain, is a good match. The back is marked ARTŠ. Measuring measures 2 1/4" on all sides, the brooch/pendant is in Excellent condition. $62 |

Exquisite Early Century
Shell Cameo in Brass Setting This delightful lady has some of the plumpness of Victorian ladies, but her hair is bobbed and her nose uptilted, signifying an early century date, perhaps into the 1930's. Notice the individual hair strands, the lovely draping of her gown, and the flowers and foliage at her shoulder and her deep set eyes. Her color is ivory with hints of a red-brown layer showing through on her skin and in her hair, carved against a carnelian colored background. She rests in a gilded hammered setting with early lever type safety clasp. On close examination it appears that the bezel was once gilded, but the gold coloring has worn off down to silver base metal. Measurements, including the frame, is 1 1/2" tall x 1 1/4" wide. She is perfect, with no cracks, chips, scratches or discoloration. Excellent. $78 |

Multicolor Art Glass & Navette Rhinestone Domed Brooch You aren't really spoiled, but you certainly deserve to be! And here's just the Juliana-style jewel to not only delight your sense of luxury, but also to delight his sense of you. The domed jewel is piled high with marquise cut rhinestones, foiled art glass, molded glass, aurora borealis & sparkling confetti stones. All stones are set in either 4-prong or dog tooth prong settings. Accented by chatons in AB peacock, lavender and light topaz, you can hardly see the smooth gold tone finding where the stones bask luxuriously. Dimensions are 2 7/8" long, but the brooch seems much larger because it rises a full inch from the lower surface. You will sparkle every which way in this beauty! Very Good condition, with minor surface wear that can be seen only under 5x magnification. $62

1980's Ravishing Lady Bonetto Watch Pin
in Original Box Absolutely the most glamorous lady watch pin I've seen by Bonetto. Her bisque face is hand painted; one eye peeks sweetly from beneath her jaunty sparkly cloth hat, which is laced with rhinestone chain. Further decorated with a pearly heart, carved shell roses, faux pearls, long rhinestone navettes and a large rivoli, plus goldstone leaves and flowers, she strikes an elegant impression. The silvertone watch with diamond-like digits on the face seems like an afterthought, but it runs perfectly with a brand new battery. This irreplaceable jewel totals 3 1/2" tall x 2 1/2" wide. The watch by itself is 7/8" in diameter. The clear Lucite top of the original box has a few scratches, but otherwise the watch and the lady are still Like New on original card in box with the old warrantee card! $65 |

Fabulous Plump Thirties Pot Metal Floral Brooch This exceptional floral brooch with has all the quality you can expect from a top jewelry house of the 1930s, yet is unsigned. The brooch is beautifully designed and constructed, with a riveted, layered setting featuring six large (7/8") faceted topaz glass ovals set openbacked, flanked by scrolled loops that each nestle a bezel set sparky crystal chaton. The beauty of these stones is overwhelming. At nearly 4" tall and 2 1/2" wide, this is a Big heavy brooch. It will definitely weight down a light fabric, so pin it into a bra strap or slip if you wear it with a light blouse or dress. Otherwise, this is what they used to call a "coat brooch," because women wore them on their coats or jackets. But you could use it to pin together that stylish sash, or to decorate your bag. With this brooch and your smile, you'll feel like a million dollars. Very Good condition. $110 |

Huge, Exotic Avon Peacock Brooch in Box With a 2004 date, this pin is not very vintage; however Avon has discontinued making it and it's time for you to have a treat! Avon really outdid themselves when they created this sweeping peacock! Rhinestones, rhinestones, rhinestones--this fabulous brooch appears to be *made of colorful stones of teal, rose, midnight blue, purple and dark blue and rose aurora borealis AB navettes and a dangling tail of chained crystals and beads. The setting is dark gunmetal, giving a midnight mystery aura to this imperial bird. Total length including the tail is 7", width at the branch is 2 1/2". This brooch has never been worn and is still in the original box. There is no image of the box because it's shiny metallic finish won't scan--it turns into a dark gray square! But the box is dark silvery blue with a silver "A" and very pretty. The brooch is signed on the back "Avon" with the Canada mark beneath. Both bird brooch and box are in Excellent condition. $32 |
