Signed ART(c) Painted & Jeweled Roman Gladiator Helmet Well, someone got a feather in his cap! This is the prettiest helmet I've ever seen. The color combinations are incredible, as on many figurals by ART, but this one is a really beauty. Various shades of green and teal make striking contrasts with the burnished bronze and reddish colors which draw attention to the exquisite detail, from the lines of faux pearl accents, to the applied leaves and ruby red rhinestone. A scarce beauty, you are not likely to see one of these for a long time. At 2 7/8" tall x 1 1/2" wide, you will surely be noticed, plus, when your husband is in warrior mode, he could steal it to wear as a tie clip! Very good condition, with wear on the red paint decorating the symbol at the top of the helmet, and slight wear in metallic rust paint in a place that's hard to see; it blends with the highlights. Signed on the back ART(c). $55

Victorian
Red and Aqua Paste Brooch
Not marked. This wonderful openwork pin was purchased by me from a seller in Czechoslovakia, and due to it's style and color, I believe it is from old
Bohemia. Aqua blue European cut pastes are prong set into a 6 sided bar frame,
while the smaller fire colored pastes are positioned in beaded arrow or double
leaf motifs along the edges. One central ruby red paste, secured in a delicately
beaded bezel, sits in the middle of a chased and beaded setting between
brass scrolls.

BSK
Elf Pin with Green Gemstone
Want something simple but striking? Consider this beautifully textured golden pin by BSK. Possibly made as late as the circa1970, when tumbled natural gemstones were in style--some costume jewelers even made rhinestones and plastics look like tumbled gemstones--but the stone is a genuine, and this little fella is cute in his pointed leaf cap, sitting cross- legged with the big claw set jade green wonder. The pin measures 1-3/4" x 1-1/2" but seems a larger size due to the 3-dimensional construction, rising 3/4" from the pinstem. On the back is the signature BSK(c). The pin is in Excellent condition. $48

Delightful Clear & Blue Lucite Cameo Habille
This unusual jewel is a rather saucy tribute to the cameo. The feminine cream colored molded resin cameo sits on a midnight blue Lucite platform which is attached to a another thicker, clear faceted Lucite base, which throws shades of blue here and there. Even better, this one is a habille, which means that the cameo lady is also wearing a jewel, a shining rhinestone like a brooch to drape her silky gown. Dimensions of this jewel is 1 3/8" x 1 6/8". Very Good condition. $65.00 |
