Accessocraft In business since the mid 1930's, Accessocraft survived throughout the '90s. Not a common signature; signed jewelry is still underpriced.

Accessocraft Black Rose Brooch

Circa 1955. This jet black deeply carved Lucite Rose is attached to a textured gold tone stem and leaves base to make romantic magic! Wear it with pale colors or bold stripes for extra drama, or to black lace for an ultra femme touch. The 2 7/8" brooch is light enough for the finest fabrics but well made enough for a jacket or blazer. Signed ACCESSOCRAFT on the reverse, this jewel is in Excellent condition. $45

Lovely Barclay Rhinestone Bouquet Bracelet

If you love Barclay, you'll notice that some of their designs and metalwork is similar to Trifari jewels, with goldtone metals get that warm glow that comes with age. This bracelet is such a design, with each 1 1/8" wide link a sweeping Art Moderne beribboned bouquet of crystal chatons and red baguettes. The gold tone finish is rich, and the bracelet comes complete with safety chain. It clasps at 7" with a foldover clasp signed Barclay in script.

Barclay 1940's Ruby Rhinestone Retro Clip Earrings.

SOLDThere is much going on design-wise in this late1940s clip earrings set. Particularly endearing is the track design and splayed fan, motifs seen regularly in post WWII Retro jewelry . Fantasy flowers set with ruby red rhinestones are still brilliant and sparkling, as the rhinestone studded fan above. All but the center flower petals, are prong set in lovely aged goldtone. These delightful jewels are are 1 1/4" tall x 7/8" wide at the widest part, and signed Barclay in script on the clips. There is probably a matching necklace waiting out there--just for you! Wouldn't it be fun to find? The earrings have bright rhinestones and tight clips. Very Good condition, with minor wear of finish in back.

Beaujewels Bowman & Foster went out of business in the 1970's. These jewels are always beautiful. The ones I have seen are made with riveted backings. This kind of construction is NOT unique--many costume jewelers used it, particularly during the late 1940's and 1950's including Weiss, Coro, and Judy Lee. Don't accept an unsigned brooch as Beaujewels unless you have seen the signed earrings.

Les Bernard The former Vogue jewelry company, in business since 1938, became Les Bernard in 1963. See Ann Pitman's section on Les Bernard jewelry in her book INSIDE THE JEWELRY BOX, first volume. Jewelry is high in quality, and offered many imaginative designs throughout the 1960's. This jewelry house closed in 1996. More coming soon!

Bogoff~ 1946 to 1970. Made high quality jewelry, mainly rhinestone sets, but this designer also used pearls, beads, and metals. This is a scarce, highly sought after signature.

Bonetto This company made beautiful ladies' hinged bangle watches, rhinestone watches and watch pins during the 1970s and 1980s as well as collectible clocks. Many of these, particularly the ladies, appear to have been put together by hand. Bonetto today is producing watch rings, so these lovely collectible clocks and watches of the '70's and 1980's are long gone, unless you get lucky. Sorry, Sold Out

Boucher

Boucher Sterling Vermeil Brooch with Plump Purple Rhinestones

This sterling beauty will not only add a dash of color and retro dash to your look, but is also a great investment--why not spend your money and have it too? This dynamic 2 1/2" tall x 1 1/2" wide bouquet brooch is loaded with plump purple unfoiled rhinestones, prong set openback on a quality sterling, gold wash setting. This graceful jewel was made during the mid 1940's. The brooch is marked (very faintly) with MB and the Phrygian Cap on a small area behind the lowest reaching ribbon curl. Above that mark, separately but on the same ribbon curl is the mark STERLING. I could find no design number. Rated Very Good for wear of the gold wash in the usual raised places most subject to careful polishing for 70 years. Enjoy for $125

BSK

Big Blue Flower Bud Brooch Signed BSK

If you love vintage florals but appreciate something a little different, this BKS blue beauty is for you. Gold tone filigree leaves hold a large Lucite bud (no seams) with green magenta, and other shades of blue floating inside. Another bud is represented by a faux pearl, and both are accented by pave crystal rhinestones. This 2 1/2" jewel is heavy for it's size, and you'll probably want to reserve it for a sweater or light jacket. Signed (c)BSK in back, the brooch is in Very Good condition. $38

Somewhat stylized, or modernistic, but filled with Aurora Borealis rhinestones in a silvertone setting, you get femininity without too much folderol. With green eyes, a red upper body, and openwork wings and tail set with brilliant crystal ABs, there will be color and flash, without the ostentation of a huge jewels. This delicate sweetheart measures 2 1/8" a the wingspan and is 1 7/8" tall, as well as being in Excellent, like new condition. Signed BSK in back. Wear and enjoy this truly investment jewel for $22

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 treasure. 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


Cathe A scarce signature; this design house produced jewelry in the 1960s.

Cathe Art Glass Starfish Brooch Pendant

What a stylish starfish this is, perfect for summer at the beach or by the pool. Cathe is a hard to find signature, but those featuring fabulous art glass are the best! This one is crowded with glass cabs with streaks and clouds of mixed colors including, on each cab, bright icings of gold. The starfish "feet" point this way and that, invoking the fun and leisure of summer's days. Even the gold tone setting sparkles with texture, golden beads, and aurora borealis rhinestones. The 2 1/2" pendant comes on a 17 1/2" chain, but it also has a pin mechanism so you can remove the chain and wear as a brooch. Signed Cathe in an oblong plaque, there is a little sunshine symbol as part of the signature; perhaps this pendant/brooch is from a special summer line. Excellent condition. $58

Castlecliff Blue Satin Glass 3-strand Choker and Earrings Set

Accenting your natural allure may well be what Castlecliff had in mind when they created this dreamy choker, three strands of 6mm etched faceted satin glass beads. Each strand is longer than the other, so they separate when worn. The beads have a frosty look, light blue, as blue as early morning sky, very pretty against the silvertone findings.

The necklace clasps at 13 1/2" with a gorgeous 7/8" crystal rhinestone push-in clasp. amd the earrings are 1". Only the earrings are signed.

Vintage Czech Rhinestone & Enamel Nosegay Pin

Dress for springtime and summer in this vintage nosegay pin from old Czechoslovakia. In bright gold tone, tiers of flowers, leaves and rhinestone buds blend together prettily. The flower is in two shades of pink, enameled to leave the edges gold; the same technique is used in the leaves, pale green with painted veins and shining gold edges. Gold tone wire leaes to prong set oval rhinestones in red, blue, purple, turquoise and sapphire blue. This pin is 2 1/4" tall; the enamels are amazingly intact. The rhinestones, although the foil is undamaged, appear to be aging, but they are still colorful and strike sassy sparks. Marked in back on an applied oval, CZECHO. Very good condition. $44

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.

The brooch measures 2.25" horizontally and 1.25" vertically. Metals appear to be brass and copper base with silver overlay. This brilliant pin is in Very Good condition, with wear on the silver plating in back. Clasps with an open C-hook. $95

Charel Charel is best known for Art Moderne Lucite thermoset jewelry of the 1950's. In my opinion, most jewelry marked Charel is is as well made as Lisner jewelry.

Charel Book Piece!
