Actual Size of Brooch 
|
HUGE JJ Pewter Panther Brooch Add some jungle drama to your look with this fabulous panther in polished pewter. The detail is wondrous indeed, showing ribs, muscles, teeth, claws, and that whip of a tail! Let him crawl lovingly across your jacket lapel, heavy blouse, sweatshirt or sweater. Hmmm, seems a little naughty, doesn't it? Dimensions are 4 1/2" long x 2" wide if you wear this brooch vertically as in photos, but you can also wear it horizontally. Marked JJ (c) 1984. Very Good condition. $36

Pell Topaz Rhinestone Owl
Pin
This adorable little fella has big green rhinestone eyes. He looks pretty flashy in his pave rhinestone coat--the color of the stones is light golden topaz, almost citrine. And what a fresh little sparkler he is! At 2 1/4" tall, he's got a big appetite for admiration and wants you to bring him home. Signed (c)PELL, he's in Excellent condition. $48

Signed 1960's Stained Glass Look Ladybug Pedant Necklace If you are into colorful and unique Moddesigns, this unforgettable ladybug pendant is for you. The Art Nouveau Revival plique-a-jour look of the '60's was accompanied by a stained glass look; in fact, during the '70s stained glass crafting became a fad along with macramé belts and hanging baskets. This beauty feels cool to the touch, so I can't tell whether the apricot colored medium is glass or clear Lucite separated by gold tone swirly-twily base. The eyes and and other accents are dark green enamel-- and look at the 6 wee legs pointing out! She's such a cutey at 2 1/2" tall including bail, hanging on her original 26" chain. I simply cannot make out the maker's mark on the back of one of her eyes. It is enlarged for you in the pictures. If anyone knows, please email. No matter who it is, this jewel is is a classic '60's relic in Excellent condition. $68 |

Coro White
Enameled Turtle Pin
Coro made an entire line of white enameled creature jewelry; I've seen a number of them including a seal and some sort of fish, and others. If you like the way white stands out on colored T-shirts and jackets it might be fun to look for the entire line; they appear to have been done in the mid to late 1950's. On this turtle the white paint lies between the gold tone ridges for an elegant yet fun effect. The eye is also gold tone but looks white in the picture. The adorable pin is 2 1/4" wide and signed in back (c)Coro in script. Very Good condition, with no chips in the enamel but mild wear that can be seen only under magnification. $28

Les Bernard
Fabulous Dragon Pendant Another 1960's impressive and dramatic beauty, absolutely exclusive to that era, a multi-ethnic gold tone design, complete with motif of four incredible dragons with whirling tails; ancient coin dangles, and carved faux jade. The pendant is 4 3/4" tall x 2 5/8" wide and hangs on a 20" Singapore style chain. Very Good to Excellent condition. Signed on the back of the pendant on a round raised oval LES BERNARD INC. So many of these fabulous large 1960's pieces came with paper hand tags, and signed pieces are especially hard to find, so better buy while it's still possible! $95

Antique Enameled Fawn Brooch
Circa 1930. This sweet fawn pin, in plated pot metal and beautifully enameled in pale yellow, is too old to be Bambi. With that pink lipstick she is likely a feminine fawn with stamped (see reverse) raised spots in pink, an applied green garland around her neck, and green hooves. How darling she is, as well as fairly high quality. The silvery plating in back is still shiny--the little deer came to me very dirty, although untarnished. I gave the poor waif a bath, but not a polish. The pin is equipped with an old open C-clasp and measures 2 1/4" x 1 5/8". Rated Very Good for minor loss of enamel in spots. Enjoy for $58.00 |

Japanese Hand Made Wooden Bobble Headed Cat. SOLD This looks like a kitty from the old cartoons of the 1930's or 40's to me, but it may have been made after WWII. The cats head wags back and forth with a wide eyed expression on it's carved face, including long carve eyelashes! Painted red, yellow, black and turquoise blue, this is just a sweet little collectible pretty, and conversation piece and a nostalgic reminder of the jewels of old. Stamped Japan in back in black ink, the pin is 3" tall and 1 7/8" wide at the bottom. Very good condition. |

Happy JJ BIG Gold Plated Dolphin
SOLDThere is a graceful action in this design such that you can almost feel the water splashing as the dolphin leaps from the lovely shell design with stylized swirls of water. A dolphin is a very special creature, said to be as intelligent as humans, and many of us are their fans. This 3" pin, marked (c)JJ in back, will make a wonderful gift for the dolphin fan as well as the JJ collector. Our tests revealed this brooch to be 12K gold plated, like so many of the golden JJ jewels. This beauty is in Excellent condition. |

Art(c) Yellow and Orange Flowered Angelfish SOLDJust in time for summer, this ART angelfish can be yours to reflect the happiness of summer parties on drowsy afternoons. ART made a whole line of flowered critters as well as other flowered figurals; wouldn't it be fun to collect them all? If you haven't already started, here's a cute piece in top condition, with yellow enamel and a tummy of antiqued golden openwork topped with tiny coral orange painted flowers. The fish is 2" 1/8" tall and 2 1/8" wide. You need a loupe to see some crazing in the yellow enamel around the face, but there are no chips. Excellent condition. |
