Absolutely gorgeous sterling repousse bracelet with matching clip earrings and ring by Frank Patania Sr. circa 1950. The bracelet is truly a small sculpture.

The matching earrings are 1" long and 7/8" wide at the top portion. The clip backs are secure and comfortable...

An unusual pair of 14Kt pink gold and agate intaglio cuff links with Masonic symbols. The cuff links date back circa 1920’s. The backs are curved and each back ends with an oval button. The measurement of the intaglio is approximately 14 X 23 millimeters, and the outside of the cuff links measure 17.5 X 28 millimeters.

Early Mexican silver necklace of fine grade silver in a minimalist yet visually powerful pre-Colombian motif bearing the signature of Jorge "Chato" Castillo. Chato's jewelry doesn't come up very often and his earlier pieces, like this, are usually wrought in 980 silver. I like to call this the "Shields and Bead" motif and really love its austere elegance! Measuring 15 3/4" long the necklace is 1 1/8" wide and weighs 40.5 grams...

A very traditional pair of diamond and pearl earrings from the 1960’s is set in 14Kt yellow gold with a European leaver backs. These earrings can be worn dressy for occasions or sporty with jeans or basically all the time. The well matched high luster cultured pearls measure 6.8 millimeters and the approximate total weight of the two full cut diamonds is 0.10Ct.

I am fascinated by the beauty and craftsmanship of early 20th c. Chinese jewelry - their repousse is outstanding, the detail and complexity of the figural pieces difficult to put to words and the window they open onto a culture so distant and enchanting literally invaluable. The scene that covers the face of all 7 curved links in this bracelet constitutes a proud statement of wealth, accomplishment and family pride...

Monumental 9 strand sterling bracelet by Navajo silversmith George Kee during his time at the White Hogan Shop in Scottsdale, Az. It measures 5 3/4" around in the inside plus a 1 1/8 "opening. It is 2 3/4" wide in the front and tapers to 1" at the terminals. Fine original condition. Weighs 89 grams and is signed as shown. Make a statement with this bold and beautiful piece.

This exceptionally well executed 18Kt white gold and diamond filigree ring is centered by a high quality approximately 0.25Ct full cut diamond. The center stone is flanked by a smaller diamond on either side, which will bring the total weight of all diamonds to an approximate 0.30 Ct.

Fabulous and big vintage modernist 14KT gold ring with a huge roughly triangular sky blue turquoise stone. 1970's. Not marked but tests positive for 14KT gold using jeweler's acid. The setting is very ornate and heavy with a deep decorative border. The stone has a beautiful chocolate brown matrix. I believe the turquoise is Chinese. The photos do not capture the beautiful color of the stone -- it is much richer than the photos show. It weighs 7 grams. The stone is 13 mm long by 12 mm wide...

Beautifully rendered emulations of Margot de Taxco's koi fish earrings, this pair is signed by a maker who is known among collectors of vintage Mexican jewelry for his prowess in the art of repoussage and the high quality of his work. I think the point I am trying to make is amply illustrated by the bold repousse, the dark oxidation in the recesses of the design and the care that went into the finishing touches...

Stunning to look at and unbelievably gorgeous and comfortable when you have it on the vintage Deco Mexican silver necklace presented here lies like a dream around the neck. I know this specific design can be found bearing a really big signature - I want to say that it's an Aguilar creation but I just can't remember...

Beautiful and rare demi parure consisting of a fringed bib necklace and matching clipback earrings, in carved translucent Bakelite simulating amber or jade, and goldtone metal. Circa 1960. Marked GM in a circle, and also with the original paper hang tag, which is marked IMITATION JEWELLERY, MADE IN (I)TALY (the I is missing). The Bakelite tests positive using Simichrome. With slide clasp. The Bakelite is glowingly translucent and has excellent marbling...

I believe lovers of Margot de Taxco's jewelry will easily recognize the links in this necklace as being from among the Grande Dame's more romantic repousse creations. Yet the way they have been combined in this necklace and set with older hand-painted blue glass stones (late Victorian or Edwardian, I believe) is quite unusual. Margot is known to have created unique pieces by incorporating older or "exotic" elements in otherwise known designs and I think we are dealing with such a case here...

Antique finely inlaid micro mosaic plaque with cocker spaniel. Mid 19th century. No cracks. A very early Roman micro mosaic plaque of a spaniel fashioned from miniature colored glass tesserae set in beveled black onyx glass, in subtle colors of green, brown and white finely fitted to create a most realistic depiction. Originally made to be set as a brooch but never mounted. Size: 1 1/4 inches x 1 5/8 inches.

The second Margot de Taxco zodiac piece currently in my inventory, this Libra pendant has all the qualities of her astrological series; visual interest, sculpturality and a design so successful that it immediately relates to the sign it represents. I have paired it with a hand-wrought Mexican chain of the same period so you can wear it as a necklace or alternatively, enjoy it as a charm with your vintage charm bracelet...

A great example of fine enamel work of the second half of the 19th century is represented in this beautiful oval broach, depicting a mountain lake scene with a castle and a sail boat. The frame is continental (800) silver with Austrian hallmark and maker's mark "KJ". The condition of the enamel is nearly perfect except for some slight hair-line cracks in the front and as well as in the back which is white enamel. The pin measures 1 7/8" in length and 1 1/2" in width.
