Red
& Gold Galloping Seahorse Pin by Lind Gal.
Cute seahorse with golden and red enamels and a red rhinestone eye holds a treasure curled in her tail--an oval shaped ruby jewel. The textures and details are exquisite. She's 1 7/8" tall x 1 14" wide, just big enough to pin on your collar for good luck. The back of the brooch is marked (c)LG in an artists palate; this is the mark for Lind Gal Inc. NYC and has been used since 1952. I don't think the company is still in business, or we would see more of these little treasures. Excellent condition. $35 |

Adorable, Lively Vintage Pony Brooch Rare. He's doing what ponies love, prancing wild in a flower-strewn meadow of yellow enameled flowers with green leaves and faux pearls. Decked out with rhinestones in his mane and tail, he holds in his teeth a pink enameled jeweled rose for his lady. He deserves to be worn by someone who loves him as much as I do. At 3 1/4" tall and 2 1/2" at the widest, he's a big boy from the early 1950s, around the time Coro was making their pretty horses. My friends insist this brooch is a lost Coro, but he's unsigned. He's high quality with good heft, made from thick cast metal finished with golden plating. The near-Excellent condition is remarkable--I could not find any wear in the plating on the front, and on the back, only a bit along the edges. Rhinestones are bright and faux pearls are faultless. You (and I) may never find another like him. $125

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. $48
