This is a great set. It is by the Danish silversmith N.E. From and is his most sought after design. It features a "globe" of amber with a circle of silver fish and stars. The amber is off-center and reflects the light passing through. The pin measures 1 3/4 inches. The earrings measure 1 inch and are clip backs. They are very comfortable on the ear. It is difficult to find a set and this one is in great condition. The pin and earrings are both signed.

This is one of the rarest Scottish agate brooches I have offered for sale. It is circa 1860, and has an incredible design featuring beautiful colored agates with a central bouquet of flowers. The flowers are thistles that are briolette cut. The thistles are two amethysts and a central citrine. The brooch is large, measuring 2 3/4 inches across x 2 inches down. It is completely original, in near mint condition with original c-clasp. It comes from a private collection and is a rare offering.

It is hand painted, in a frame of silver (probably sterling) filigree, and the painting is protected by bevelled glass. The bale moves up to receive a necklace, folds down when it is to be worn as a pin. I see n... Click for details
