This man's watch double chain with a slide is about 9-3/4" long. Both the chain and the slide are gold filled. On one end there is a toggle bar for insertion in a vest buttonhole and a swivel hook for attaching a fob. The watch would be inserted in the vest pocket. It dates to about 1900. With a slight adjustment in the length, the chain could be converted to a woman's bracelet or hooked to another similar chain to make a necklace. The condition is excellent antique condition with very slight wear on a couple of spots on the slight, but they are hardly noticeable without a loupe.

This small pair of earrings is set in 18K white gold. They weigh a total of 7.2 dwt. or 11.2 g. and are very comfortable to wear, not too light, not too heavy.

There are small white diamonds on the front of the section that goes in the ear. The main part of the earring is a diamond shape with rounded corners that dangles from the top, 5/8" on each side. The frame of the diamond shape is channel set with small diamonds, and the center has larger stones in varied colors and shapes. The colors range from white to light yellow, deep yellow and champagne or cognac. The shapes include round, marquise, pear and cushion. Even the back of the earring is beautifully designed and finished, a sure sign of a quality piece. The earrings date to about the 1970's, and the condition is like new, never worn.

This pendant is 2" high by 1-1/4" wide and it weighs 16.8 dwt. or 26.7 g. It is formed with a large, unpolished lapis of deep blue color surrounded by a frame of 18K yellow gold.

At the top is a whimsical octopus that forms the bail with diamond eyes and two diamonds in the legs. The octopus also functions to hold the stone in place at the top and bottom.

The piece dates to about the 1970's and the condition is excellent.
