Antique
Diamond Shaped Hand Painted Porcelain Violets Pin
All the rage from Victorian times until about 1930, these beautiful hand painted porcelains were given to friends and lovers as gifts of commitment, love, or whatever the floral design meant. According to Dorothy Kamm's JEWLERY AND BUTTONS PAINTED PORCELAIN IDENTIFICATION & VALUE GUIDE, Violets meant faithfulness and modesty. Perhaps long ago a mother gave it to her daughter, or a woman may have gifted a special friend. Most of the pins were round or oval, so it's unusual to have a diamond shape like this one. The violets are painted against very vivid polychrome glazes in blues, green, yellow and pink. A lot of work went into this little 1 3/4" wide x 1" beauty. The porcelain is prong set into a brass fitting equipped with an open C-clasp. It is in very good condition; the porcelain is Excellent, but the brass setting has the usual wear in back. $58 |

Victorian Edwardian
Era Collar Pin with Purple Jewel Simple but delicious, this 1" x 1/2" turn-of-the-century amethyst glass collar pin would look as lovely on this season's frilly blouses as the collars of yesteryear.

You can pin this rich-looking beauty to a hat, or onto a velvet ribbon to tie around your neck or your wrist.

Antique Enameled
Little Lamb Brooch
This sweet pin is either Bambi or another fawn in rhodium plated pot metal, beautifully enameled with a pale yellow. He has stamped (see reverse) raised spots in pink, an applied green garland around his neck, and green hooves. How darling he is, as well as fairly high quality. I believe the back is rhodium plated--the poor little deer came to me very dirty, but without tarnish. I gave him a bath, but not a polish. Circa date is probably 1930-1940. The pin predates the Bambi movie and the Disney pins, but the movie was based on a popular illustrated children's book by Viennese author Felix Salton, first published in 1929. The pin is equipped with an old 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 |

Gerry's Glass Tortoiseshell Cameo in Diamond Shaped Filigree. Its the little German head band girl again,but this time she's made of pressed or molded frosted glass applied to a base of smooth brown faux glass tortoiseshell with creamy tan color s around the face and hair. The scans made her face look funny, but she's all there, her nose and eye area is one of the darker reddish-brown colors and came out shadowed. She is lovely! No wonder Gerry's collectors especially prize the cameos with the diamond shaped settings; the quality is really quite high with good heft and sturdy feel. The cameo, in a remarkable chain bezel, is surrounded by whorls, loops, and beading and all that goes into ornate openwork. This brooch is 2" tall x 1 1/2", signed on the back GERRY'S(c). Excellent condition. $28 |

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 |
