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".  Item# 2144

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.   Item# 2118

Sparkling Art Deco Coral Celluloid Cuff Bracelet 

A fabulous geometric and, quite strikingly, Art Deco design highlight this super celluloid cuff bracelet circa 1915. The stylish and linear design has been etched into the bracelet and filled with white, and is accented by several faceted paste crystals. The two in the centers of the flowers are blue! This is a delightful little piece with handmade charm (there is an odd number of stones on one edge of the octagonal design) that really showcases it's uniqueness. There are a few stones starting to darken with age and there is a little loss of the white paint in the etchings of this cuff. The latter can be restored, but I wanted to leave it in it's original condition for you! The diameter measures 2 1/4" and the opening is 3/4". It has a little bit of give so one can get it on, but too much pressure could break this wonderful piece...I would advise a smaller wristed person to take this one home!  Item# 1109
