1 Here is a copper set by MATISSE. The design is the Barcarolle pattern. This set is said to be an enamel set in the blue to harmonize with flowers. In any case, it really is a nice set, and one that isn't a common design.
2 This photo shows how the little copper cages lifts up off of the blue enamel wing shaped piece. Just to show you that the cage thingie isn't glued to the enamel.
3 The set is in excellent condition with no chips or damage. The necklace is 16 1/2" from the hook to the end of the extender chain. The clip earrings are 7/8" square. The earrings are both signed, but not the necklace.
PRICE 150.00
4 Here is a sterling silver fish bracelet with a toggle clasp.
5 The fish look like the really are swimming....they are attached to each other under the chin (chin? does a fish have a chin?) and at the tail.
6 These guys are in a hurry to get there! The bracelet is 8" long, and it does have a mark, but it is unreadable.
Price $ 38.00
7 This brooch is a copy of one owned by the Duchess of Windsor. It is sterling and marcasites with the large mother of pearl center stone. The eye is a topaz color.
8 This Deco design is 1 1/2" tall.
PRICE 65.00
9 This brooch is sterling silver and genuine cloisonne. The hallmarks on the back declare this to be sterling made by the Watson Company of Attleboro MA. The enamel design is called guilloche.
10 Here are the hallmarks. Made circa 1910. The crown, initial W and the lion look to be British, but the initial W isn't a W to indicate the year of manufacture. It is a figural W for Watson.
11 Very well made and sturdy, the clasp resembles a safety pin closure. The brooch is 2" long.
Price 115.00
12 Absolutely fantastic is one way to describe this wonderful old Hobe sterling piece. It is huge, and in excellent shape.
13 Hand made flowers and leaves are applied to the ribbons with flower sprigs coming out from the center rose.
14 The brooch is 3 1/8" across. Made in the early 1940's.
15 Made in about 1944, this Hobe sterling piece is wonderful. The sterling has softened to a rich patina, and the stones add some color.
16 Some wear to one of the topaz stones, but does not detract.
17 The brooch is heavy, and is 3 1/8" tall.
PRICE 275.00
18 There are enamel charms, and most of the charms are sterling.
The bracelet itself is 7 1/2" long, and has a fold over clasp. It is not sterling.
19 This charm bracelet is loaded with charms relating to the American Business Women's Association. There are 35 charms on the bracelet.
20 I counted 26 sterling charms. Most of the charms are two sided, with enamel on one side. There are two president's gavels, and one secretary's quill.
21 There are several "chairman" charms and various other project charms.

23 The earrings are oval and are 3/4" long. They are clips.

24 Here is a nice sterling tie clip. It has a hematite piece in the middle with a helmeted Roman, or an Indian. I am not sure which it is.
26 Enamel over copper, these earrings are elegant.
27 Not signed, these earrings are screwbacks, and they are 2" long.
PRICE 10.00
28 This little donkey is soooo cute. He is only an inch long, but full of personality.
29 Marked Mexico, he has a C clasp, and I'm sure he is sterling. Probably too small to get it all on there.
Price 15.00
30 This little chatelaine is so cute. It is Mexican sterling, so marked on each piece. The figures are each 2" tall, and in great shape. You won't be disappointed with this pin set.

31 This bracelet is sterling with real amethysts. The marcasites are hand set.
It is 7" long and has a push in clasp.
The bracelet is indeed a product of a company called Vintage Creations. The company started in 1973. Retailing at 200.00, the bracelet is really lovely. Offered here at much less.
32 The stones are amethyst , and the marcasites are hand set with prongs.
36 A gorgeous black onyx and sterling bracelet made in Mexico.

38 The bracelet is 7 1/2" long and has a push in clasp. It is 1 1/2" wide at the widest point.
39 The mark is really hard to read and if someone has a good idea of the maker, I would love to hear it. Across the top, it says "plata 935" and the center looks to be "CMS or CHB". The bottom last letters are "ualagro". Possible an M in the front.
PRICE 150.00 "Hi...love your jewelry....plata simply means made of...." View Comments...
40 This is a great sterling ring. It has a citrine colored cabachon that is bezel set.

48 This is a sweet Mexican sterling donkey. He is 2 1/4" tall, and looks like he is napping on the job.
49 The mark is sterling on the top, and Plateria, and then GIL, which must be the silver shop. Below that Guad, for Guadalahara, and Mexico.
PRICE 25.00
50 This is a sterling brooch with a gold wash and a huge red stone in the center. Look how that red stone reflects from all the ribbon surfaces.
51 Side view. There is a chip on one corner of the stone, but it is under the prong so not noticeable. Has to be mentioned though.
52 Marked sterling, the brooch is 2 1/2" across, and the center red glass stone is 3/4" square.
PRICE 35.00
53 This brooch is soooo gorgeous! It is Mexican sterling with a 14K gold wash on it. The vermeil is in excellent condition. The brooch was made in Mexico probably for Marcel Boucher. Although it does only have the "Mexico" mark and the 14K mark, it is pictured on page 270 of Costume Jewelry 202, and attributed to Parisina, a company using designs by Marcel Boucher. A world war II item.
54 The stone is glass, and the brooch is marked Mexico and 14K.
56 A fantastic Trifari sterling set. A bird brooch and earrings to match. All sterling, with a gold wash.
57 Patent number 159923, done by Alfred Phillipe Aug 29, 1950. The earrings are marked with a pat pending, and Trifari. Evidently the patent came through in 1954.
The bird is just over 4" long, and the earrings are clips, they are 1 3/4" long.#1
PRICE 375.00
58 These earrings are sterling and also by HOBE. They are a similar design as the previous brooch.
59 Just under an inch across, the earrings are screw backs.#4
PRICE 40.00
60 This is a fine old piece of butterfly wing jewelry. The blue part is the wing, and the palm trees are painted. The silver paint at the bottom accents.
61 The pendant says England, sterling, and PI202213. The best we could come up with, is that the item was made in America about 1878 and sold in England. This would explain the absence of the British hallmarks.
65 This is a copper, brass and enamel set that is marked MAYA MEXICO. I looked up the name and didn't get much more than that. In any case this brooch and earring set is very nice.
66 The earrings are screw backs and marked with Maya Mexico. The earrings are 2 1/2" long and have a double sided drop.
67 The brooch exactly coppies the earrings. That drop is double sided. The brooch is 4 1/2" long. In very good condition, you will love this set.
68 PRICE 110.00
69 Here is a wonderful sterling brooch for you. It is large, it is a smooth....soft silver, it is sterling, and it is by a favorite designer. NAPIER.
The brooch is 2 7/8" tall and 2 5/8" across the top of the bow.
70 In wonderful condition even though it is a Vintage piece. There is some tarnish on the inside of the dangles on the ribbon, but it isn't noticeable unless you are looking for it. I would probably clean it if it were mine, but I want to leave it to the new owner to make that decision.
71 The signature on the back is partly worn off, but it is there. See the photo.
PRICE 75.00
72 MATISSE copper and enamel maple leaf brooch in a dark teal. Excellent condition.

74 The leaf is 2 1/2" across. The pin stem works well.
75 PRICE 40.00
76 These sterling earrings are only marked 925, so I don't know the artist. They go well with the following sterling brooch.
77 The clip earrings are quite large, and they are dimensional. Sort of like puffy pillows.
78 No condition issues...these earrings are in excellent condition.
79 The earrings are 1 3/4" long.
80 PRICE 12.00
81 I'm calling this one a sterling moon....or....a sterling empanada. Take your pick. :)
82 See? Doesn't it look like an empinada? It is thick...about 3/8".
83 The moon/pie is 2 1/2" long and it is in excellent condition.
84 No tarnish, just a nice soft patina, and no dents or scratches.
85 The piece is marked TB -91. And 925. So it is a Taxco artist, last name starts with B. The 91st to be registered.
