Dodds Blue Rhinestone Butterfly Demi
Parure. Circa 1950s. Dodd's figural jewelry is highly collectible. It is beautiful, well made, and not particularly plentiful. This butterfly set has sparkling, pale blue rhinestones set in a delicate granulated openwork with smooth rhodium plating. The construction is unusual in that some of the cups have 4 prongs holding up a smaller cup in which the chaton is set. It's hard to tell this from the scans. Dimensions of the butterfly are 2 x 2 3/8". The matching clip back earrings are 1 1/4". Excellent condition. F996 $55 .00 |

Emmons BIG Aurora Borealis Rhinestone Filigree Leaf Brooch. Here's AB rhinestone wonder that is nearly blinding, the clean silver color of the rhodium plating being nearly white! (in the scan it shows a bit grayer) If you've ever seen Christmas tree lights reflect on snow, then you'll see this brooch is as great for the holidays as it will be for summertime evenings. The stem leads to four curving filigree leaf fronds set with crystal AB rhinestone in half prongs flashing rainbow lights like crazy. The delicate beaded filigree edges add a wondrous lacy look. So feminine and so perfectly striking--imagine this on almost any color, from deep saturated jewel tones to grays and buttery pastels. An absolute delight measuring 3 1/4" tall x 2 1/2" wide, this jewel is signed (c)EMMONS in back and is in Excellent condition. $48 |

Fun
Florenza Painted Floral Pendant Necklace
For lighthearted everyday wear, this Victorian revival pendant necklace will invoke flowery thoughts as you go about your day, and perhaps bring a smile of appreciation to those around you. The blue flowers will do wonderful things for your eyes. The oval glass in the center of the pendant has been treated to a transfer of blue and white flowers, but also offers a few dabs of white enamel painted by hand, similar to the porcelains paint-on-transfer of old. It's delightful in it's beaded bezels and ornate openwork frame. The fancy bail leads to lacy chain that looks deceptively delicate, for it's sure to hold up that pendant even during a softball game--though I would tuck it in my shirt before attempting to slide home! The 25" chain clasps with a spring ring for a luxurious fit, with the pendant dropping an extra 3 1/8". The pendant without bail measures 2 1/4 tall x 1 3/4" wide. Signed behind the pendant, FLORENZA(c) Excellent condition. $38

Florenza Pink & Purple Bow
Pin With enameled jewelry you can add a splash of color and infinite interest to a daytime outfit without adding a lot of glitz. Here is a pin by Florenza with several unique delights. In the center are little pink & purple soft appendages to look like the center of a flower or sea anemone. Don't ask me the material--I don't think it is plastic; it looks and feels like a natural substance. If anyone knows, please email me. From the center is a burst of overlapping loops painted pink and purple and tipped with gold, reminding me of butterfly wings. Measurements are 2 1/4" wide x 1 1/4". Pin is signed FLORENZA(c) in back on a raised oblong. Excellent condition. $35 |

Germany
Floral Spray Painted Transfer on Porcelain
We've all seen these pretty West German offerings from the 1950's, but this one has an unusual color scheme to make it exceptional. In some of the images the colors had to be intensified a bit so you can see the pattern, but the gallery picture is fairly exact. A lovely floral spray transfer on porcelain is hand embellished with white details on all pastel colors predominantly yellow, but also pale peach, green, blue and in between! The lovely gold tone filigree setting is famous for it's detail and sheer feminine prettiness, with this one flanked by sparkling aurora borealis rhinestones. The pendant drops from a decorated filigree chain with faux pearls and a heart shaped bail. Total chain length is 18" and signed M. Western Germany in very tiny letters around the jump ring. The pendant is 2 1/8" without the bail and 3" including bail. Excellent condition. $48 |

Germany Chunky
Nugget Dangle Earrings
Clip ons. These look chunks of caramel and rock candy, sure to make him hungry for that nibble on your ear! Actually, these earrings are the product of the 1960's or '70s and made of thermoset to look like rough gemstones, which was a hot style in the '60s. The chunks are connected with gold tone rosary-style chain, and the slightest movement makes them dance like the dickens! There is a necklace to match, I've seen it. Anyway, you can buy these 2" long quivering earrings now in Excellent condition and find the necklace later. Clips are signed simply GERMANY. $18 |

Vintage Lilac Acetate Iris Earrings West Germany These unusual vintage clip earrings are large lilac colored irises studded with pink faux pearls and centered with bright crystal rhinestones. The petals are made of a light delicate plastic that is almost brittle and feels similar to thin shell. The undulating dips and curves of the ribbonesque petals are quite attractive. The 2" earrings have silvertone clip backs marked Western Germany, in small letters at the very end of the outer clips; I almost missed the signature. Very Good condition. $22 |

Gerry's Glass Tortoiseshell Cameo in Diamond Shaped Filigree. SOLD 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 colors 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. |

Goldette 1960's Giant Swinging Pendant Necklace Here is a wickedly beautiful, boldly designed and highly collectible piece fit for an Amazon queen! The necklace features quality Singapore style chain leading to a 5" wide 5/8" thick curved gold tone centerpiece of textured with polished areas contrasting with matte recesses. Dangling are teardrop shaped black plastic cabochons set openback in textured bezels with golden dagger drops swinging below. These flank a beaded chain with the second thick curve shape; forming a kind of swing, tinkling more dazzling dangles. Swaying in the middle is a chunky single cab in a striated bezel; at 1 3/4" x 1 1/4 and rising a full inch from the surface, it is a respectable sized pendant all on it's own! Total pendant length is an Amazonian 7 1/2 inches! This primitively beautiful and dramatic necklace is signed Goldette(c) in script on a raised oval on the back the biggest cab's bezel. It's difficult to measure this necklace, but if laid out straight without regard to the dip in the center it clasps at about 16", but the curve at the collarbone ads an extra couple of inches. I tried it on my large neck, and it fits nicely with the top of the centerpiece straddling the collarbone. The J-hook clasp makes the necklace adjustable for shorter lengths. Enjoy this fine collector' piece in Excellent condition. $110. |
