Filigree Edwardian Lavaliere with Lovely Pink Sets and Pink Enamel |
Pretty doesn't even begin to describe how lovely this pink filigreed and millegrained Edwardian lavaliere. Pink enamel in the shape of Flappers plumed headdress decorates the pendant portion and complimenting the three open-backed, prong-set, PINK faceted crystals. Every large filigreed link on this white metal necklace is different, save for the decorative linked chain that attaches the closure hardware. Really nice details and a strange bending on the pendant give this lavaliere uniqueness. It is as if someone has folded over the bottom pendant to make it square, but alas, it appears the maker has intended to do this. It makes the pendant protrude while being worn and frames the main, center pink crystal quite nicely. Circa 1920 and so much fun to wear. Measures 16" long...two-piece pendant hangs down another 2".

Filigree Camphor Glass Crystal Pendant on Sterling Chain |
This is just one of the most gorgeous pieces of 1920's jewelry that we have. Framed in a beautiful, gleaming white filigreed border (probably unmarked rhodium or Sterling coated rhodium), this handsomely carved camphor glass crystal is enhanced by a wonderful
filigreed Art Deco center decorated with a single faceted "paste stone". Gorgeous period detail on the filigree and millegraine work on this one. The chain it is on is a delicious overlapping-linked chain which gives it spiraling depth. Marked "STERLING" on the spring ring, this leads us to believe that maybe the pendant is also fashioned from a Sterling base as well (quite common at this time). What a
superb and lovely example of 1920's Edwardian fashion. Elegant, sophisticated, and gorgeous. Chain measures 18" long while pendant measures 1 7/16" long with fabulous bail by 15/16" wide.

Scandinavian jewelry collecting has really been on the rise! Metal
worked jewelry (what they are particularly good at) is sought after and enameled Sterling is the highest on that list. That being said, we are pleased to present this circa 1955 Norwegian, Sterling,
cloisonné enameled bracelet. Reminiscent of a romantic Viking and mythological fishing and ocean-loving culture of the past, this bracelet evokes feelings of the mighty sea. In a soothing shade of light ocean blue, this sea-shell like circular linked bracelet is just gorgeous. These eight hefty, enameled circles (like perfect shells found on a shady, white sand beach) have an applied silver bead (pearl in the oyster shell) where they are craftily hinged together. There is a hidden box clamp attached to one of these hinges for easy opening and closing. A sterling linked safety chain is also attached here for added
insurance. A beautiful and collectable piece of Scandinavian Silver jewelry. Measures 7" long...each circular piece measures 7/8" round. Marked "925 S STERLING (picture of an anchor) MADE IN NORWAY" on the box clasp casing and and again marked "STERLING" (twice) on the spring ring clasp.
