Springtime MONET
Cloisonné Pastel Necklace Cloisonné & other enameled jewelry was quite popular during a period in the 1970's, and Monet produced this beautiful piece to make for happy springtime wear. Although the necklace is not marked for gold, our tests show the floral design is outlined in 14 k gold plate and filled with pink, ivory and pale blue green swirly enamel. The 8 1/2" curved centerpiece is 1 1/2" wide and is held by pink silk cord leading to a gold plated chain and hook adjustable clasp. A real beauty, I tried to get the pastel colors just right, to no avail. The enamel that looks yellow is actually a much paler ivory color, the blue green is pale and the largest star has white in the middle rather than yellow! The pink & coral enamels are also pastels. The combination is quite pleasing. Necklace is in nearly pristine condition with no wear on the enamel or gold tone and with a clean pink cord. Signed in back (c)MONET. Enjoy the scarce beauty. $58 |

NE in Chalice Some say that the N/E mark with a chalice figure stands for New England Glass Company. However, this has not been proven. Most of this mystery jewelry is 1930s & early 1940s pot metal, mainly brooches set with multicolor rhinestones frequently with enamel. Often the pins resemble those produced by Little Nemo. Could the NE stand for Nemo? |

Large NE
Pink& Green Enameled Floral Brooch Circa 1935, with classic pink-and-green color scheme of the late 30s through 40s. From pictures to draperies, Grandma had it all, swans, storks, wide tropical leaves--and, best of all, on enameled jewels. You just can't go wrong with the cozy beauty, colors and collectibility of this pot metal brooch. Three pink enameled flowers are centered with pink rhinestone florets a top green enameled leafy stems, accented with clear chatons. The flowers climb up a black enameled lattice. The blue cabochon is the original but painted green at one time, noted by remnants of green around the edges. This brooch is very well preserved, with less than usual wear on the enamel. The two rhinestones under the lower left pink flower have been replaced. Dimensions cover a big 2 7/8" x 2 7/8" area for a buxom swell of vintage color! Signed NE in chalice. Brooch is in just barely very good.. $65 |

Unique Napier Choker
with Earrings It's simple. You need this fabulous necklace to wear to dinner at a seaside restaurant this summer, or with a velvet coat to next season's Christmas parties. Thick golden flexible stove pipe chain is decorated with the most impossible centerpiece--faux pearl baubles with a bit of thin golden beaded chain, golden cones, a swirling cab of copper, and two large faceted white plastic rockets! A true work of art, signed Napier in back. Part of the signature didn't stamp correctly, but I believe there is a (c) mark after Napier. The dating is probably anytime from 1960s to1980s. This necklace will clasp at about 14 1/2". The centerpiece is 3 1/2" long and about 1 1/4" wide at the cluster of faux pearls, and quite thick, over 3/4". Added are a pair of signed Napier 1 1/8" drop earrings with plump pearls the same color as the pearls in the choker, though not the true mates, if there are any. Everything is in Excellent, clean condition. $58. |

Confetti Lucite Bracelet & Earrings Demi
Signed PAM For occasions from the glitziest NY gala to nightlife in Tinseltown, this vintage Pam bracelet will keep them looking your way. The decorated & beaded goldtone filigree frame holds clear Lucite oblongs embedded with silver foil confetti among criss-crosses of fine gold tone chain. Very unusual, scarce, and desirable not only as circa a 1950 party jewel for your collection but also as a magnet for all that attention you have a right to! This bracelet is sturdy, heavy and well made, measuring 1 3/4" wide and clasping with a fold-over at 7 5/8". Singed (c) PAM near the clasp. The matching 3/4" screw-on button earrings are unsigned. One might think earrings are not really mates to the bracelet, but they are--I've sold and seen similar plump very wide bracelets with little button earrings as mates, probably popular during a particular period in the late 40s or early 50s. Braclet is in Excellent condition, earrings are Very Good with wear & spotting on the finish in back that can be seen only under magnification. $52 |

Park Lane Huge Articulated Owl Pendant SOLD Park Lane was a jewelry house that contributed many owl designs to the 1960's rage for wildlife in big pendants. A decadent 5 1/2" long and with glowing golden amber eyes, the gold tone pendant is for the woman who will definitely be noticed. Dangling from his 22" textured triple link chain, the owl will wiggle and shake as you move, for his openwork body is made in five dangling segments; each wing is segmented as well. Signed "Park Lane" in script on the oval hang tag, this pendant is in near Excellent condition with perfect gold tone plating and only one tiny chip in the foil at the rim of the left eye; you can't see it in front because the owl's feathered eyebrows overhangs. In fact, it appears the pendant was seldom if ever worn. |
