Here is another large and gorgeous cocktail ring dating to the 1960s, by highly collectible costume jeweler Panetta. This one is Renaissance-style with a large faceted central stone that is either a semi precious stone like smoky topaz, or glass, surrounded by eight pearls. I hardly know if this should be call “costume”--the setting is gold washed sterling and the stones may be real. Marked Panetta Sterling inside band. Very good vintage condition, some wear to gold wash on band. Ring is size 6 ... Click for details

Here is an enormous and stunning cocktail ring in the style of fine 1960s jewelry like that of Andrew Grima, by highly collectible maker, Panetta. It would be considered a costume piece because it features a large, faux turquoise “egg” and faux diamonds, but the setting is sterling with what I believe is a gold wash. Panetta jewelry is known for its fine workmanship with prong set "gems" . Top of ring measures 1” high x 1” across. Band is size 7. Very good condition, no loss of gems. Marked Pane...

These vintage silver cufflinks have a psychedelic design placing them in the 1960s/70s. The swirling wire design appears to have been applied to the oxidized surface. These bear the Polish mark for 800 silver (1963-86) and the town mark of K might very well be Krakow. There is also a makers mark of RYT in a rectangle and a third mark, the letter S. These are a fun pair of cufflinks and in great condition.

16 inch long necklace composed of 13 curved circular links that are 3/4 inch in diameter. One of the things that makes this necklace so interesting is the balanced contrast between the curved links and the linear design of those links. Heightening that contrast is the folded "overhang" on each link, providing further dimension to the necklace. This is a well constructed and thoughtfully designed piece which is surprisingly unsigned. The back is marked Sterling.
