1 This ring is part of a set. The brooch/necklace in the next photos are the other part of the set.
You are looking at the controversial Mexican Fire Opal stone here, set in sterling. What this is, is layers (probably three) of resin over color and opalescent material. This is where the opal in the description comes from.
2 The ring is sterling, and old. It is a size 5 3/4. There is a small chip in the side of the ring near the bezel. Shown in the previous photo. Very hard to see.
3 When you look at the stone from the open back, it appears to be an amber color, but when you view the stone from the top, you can see the flashes of blue in it. The blue looks opalescent.
4 The brooch is set in sterling and the chain is one that I added. The chain is 27 inches long and the brooch hangs vertically on it.
PRICE the set SOLD

40 This is a diamond ring set. The large round stone is symmetrically cut and reflects light evenly across the surface. I measured the large stone with my digital caliper and it is 3.45mm across.
The ring set is a size 6 1/2.
41 I took the ring set to a jeweler for information and he looked at the stones declaring them to be fine diamonds. There are eight tiny diamonds in the set.
42 The set is a lovers bow set with the engagement ring being the largest, and the wedding ring ties the knot with the little hook. A lovers knot complete at the wedding.
43 The hook is in good shape, and does the job of hooking the two rings together. My jeweler looked carefully at this hook to make sure it does work.
The setting is 14K white gold.
PRICE SOLD
44 I took this ring to a jeweler to make sure I had it right. The ring is 14K gold, and the stones are topaz.

It is a really nice ring, completely comfortable to wear.

47 These four boxes are really cool! They are old cigarette boxes. They are empty, but have lots of charm, and lots of patina. One Old Gold, one Lucky Strike, and two Chesterfield. Are they even making these cigarettes any more?
48 Here is some of the patina. Ha! The white spot is not what you think it is...I think it is paint. Put this one on the bottom of the stack.
49 Our house isn't rustic, but we have these in a stack in the living room as a decoration. Well, not these, but some like these.

55 This set is the famous Easter Egg set, by Delizza and Elster (D&E)....but...it is signed VENDOME.
Frank DeLiza is the D of D&E, and he has confirmed that his company did make jewelry for Vendome, and this is one set that they made.
62 There are prong set rhinestones running up the stem among the silver leaves. There are some leaves that have some of the silver worn, and gold color is shining through a tiny bit. Not really noticeble, but should be mentioned.
63 The finding are the white silver color and I think that they probably show off the clear crystal better than a gold setting would.
64 In great shape, and a large piece at a whoping 4 1/4" long! It is 3 1/4" across.
65 Everything is intact, no sign of vertigris, the pin mechanism works, and this is just a wonderful brooch.

68 These are great Bakelite bracelets. There are two bracelets here and the dangling saucers are two sizes.
69 Here you can see the small and the larger saucers. One bracelet is all small, the other, all large.
70 The bracelets tested positive with 409. This is the small saucer bracelet.
71 This is the large saucer bracelet. There was one saucer missing here, so I added a Bakelite button which is the same color as the rest of the bracelet.
PRICE SOLD
72 This one is Bakelite, and it is a dark spinach green with yellow marbling. The bracelet is in excellent condition.
73 If you click on this photo, you will get a better idea of the colors.

84 This is a cameo brooch that is outstanding. The lady sits on a piece that is shiny, and silver, but also looks black.
85 The brooch is 2 1/2" tall, and has a jump ring attached at the top, so you could use it as a pendant.
87 It is about 5" tall assembled. Looks like a littl wine glass. Too big for an eye wash thing. Too small for a mustache wash thing.
88 It comes apart, and fits into the green pouch. The bottom screws to the top.
No marks on it at all.
89 The oval top is 2 1/2" by 1 2/3". Has a sort of golden finish on the inside. The piece is stainless steel, or chrome, and I think chrome.
Not a funnel, because although you see a hole here, it screws to the bottom part....filling up the hole.
90 Identified: It is a portable wine glass. You pour from a flask which is missing here, and you drink from the narrow end, with your nose in the opposite narrow end, allowing you to inhale the aroma as you drink. #18

102 This is a HOLLYCRAFT parure made in 1952. I know that because it is so marked all over the set. It is in excellent condition even though it is 56 years old! All stones are present and sparkly.
103 A close up of the set. Stone colors are light amethyst and amethyst. As you look at the set, it appears to shade to the amethyst/pink side. A really nice combination of colors.
104 Just trying to show the dimensionality of this brooch. It is huge at 2 1/2" across, and it is just under an inch tall.
105 All pieces except one earring have this mark on them.
I have this set for sale on my Bangle Caddie site, and I needed to re do the photos. I can't believe how bad those old photos are. If you want a laugh, the old photos are here at this link.

131 Signed on the back Original by Robert.

133 These earrings are 1 1/2" long and the colors are a deep citrine and rich topaz.
134 Although this set resembles a Juliana or D&E set, I think it is not, because the metal on the bracelet is round not square. Juliana experts please let me know if I'm wrong. The bracelet hinge is tight, and fits a normal wrist.

230 This is a gorgeous Lucite bracelet by PATRICIA VON MUSULIN.
231 The bracelet is near perfect. No chips, scratches or dings at all. I can't say mint, because this in not new out of the box.
232 The bracelet is Asymetrical. One side is canted from the other side. It is only carved that way so it appears to slant. You can see in the previous photo that one side is higher than the other.
233 Hard to photograph, I tried in on white and then again on black.
234 The width at the widest point is 1 1/2". It is 3 1/2" across the longest part....across your wrist.
The opening is 1 1/4". This cuff is not for a large wrist. I can put it on and take it off....but it all depends on the bones in your wrist.
235 The mark is hard to read, but it is Von Musulin.
PRICE SOLD

239 This bracelet is 7/8" at the widest point on the top. The opening is 1 1/8". Once again this bracelet depends on where the bones in your arm are, and I have no clue how to tell you. You will know how cuffs fit you.
242 Here is another piece by PATRICIA VON MUSULIN. This time it is a ring.
243 The ring is Lucite, and it is carved into slashes on the top.
244 The ring is in excellent shape, no chips, scratches or dings at all.
245 The ring measures 8 1/4 on my ring sizer. The band is about 3/8" at the most narrow part. The width of the ring across the top is 7/8". It is 1 1/8" long.
246 The ring is very dimensional and quite large. It goes well with the bracelet in the next photos. The bracelet has the same carved slashes.
247 Here is the mark on the ring.

248 This gorgeous bracelet is to die for. It is just perfect.....a statement golden bracelet. The designer is NAPIER and it is so marked on the clasp.
249 The leaves are large and they are double sided. You can see that the two complete sides are together, one on top of the other...the two sides are identical, but they aren't fused together, they are placed one on top of the other, and the leaf sides often show through to the other side.
250 The bracelet is in mint condition and it is wearable at 7 3/4" It has a spring ring clasp.
The leaves are large with the largest one at 1 3/4" long. They don't clank....they have a nice silvery sound. Not sure what that means, but they won't drive you nuts to hear them...the have a pleasant
251 I wouldn't be surprised to hear that these leaves were cast from real leaves. They do look real.
