These sterling silver, screwback earrings are so cool. They are circa 1950's. They measure 1" x 3/8" x 1/4" deep. They feature a mod shape with a concave, oxidized background, with prong set, cultured pearls. One is marked STERLING J.S.C 925 (see pictures). I am still trying to figure out the silversmith's mark. They are solid and in great condition.
This detailed brooch / pin measures 1 1/2" x 2". It features a detailed peacock with a floral accent. The back is marked STERLING, with the Uncas Manufacturing Company hallmark of a U between 2 arrows. It is in excellent condition.
The Uncas Mfg. Co. began operations in Providence, Rhode Island in 1911. By the 1950s, Uncas had become the largest manufacturer of costume jewelry rings in the United States.
This ring is a size 11. It is sterling silver with an onyx "center." It has interesting decor on each side (of the band). It is marked STER with a maker's mark of which I am not familiar (maybe an R with a dot in the middle).
I believe it is American made: c. 1950's.
It is solid with good heft and is in excellent condition.
This wonderful ring is a size 6. It has a lovely design accented with a central, bezel-set confetti stone. It is marked 925 and (what looks like) LF. It is in excellent condition.

This fine quality vintage sectional bracelet has true Art Deco period design and finish and it is stamped SILVER and UTIKA.
