They bear European silver marks on the back, and though they are hard to make out, they likely indicate .800 silver. Each button measures ½ inch in diameter; they have sturdy bridge chains.

This unusual chain forms a long, Y-shaped necklace decorated with pierced balls. There is a swivel clasp at the end. The brass is coated in a dark patination, to produce a look similar to gunmetal. It is unmarked, but the openwork balls read European. The chain drops 29 inches, from the neck to the clasp.

Reminiscent of the Scandinavian style, this intricately decorated sterling silver ring features what looks like a blue, bezel-mounted moonstone (it’s definitely not glass). The ring is in a wraparound style, with the top of the ring ending in a widened flap that overlaps the next finger. The top is decorated with highly detailed molded lily pads, leaves and tiny flowers that cascade down one side of the ring...

Composed of geometrical open panels, this sterling silver bracelet is studded all over with tiny pieces of marcasite. It features a secure tongue and groove clasp and a sterling safety chain. There are seven marcasites missing, but it’s hard to tell without magnification because they are so small. The back of the clasp is marked sterling; there is also a sterling mark on the back of one panel along with a partial, unidentified maker’s mark...

This sterling and amber or composition pin, formed as two leaves and two berries, is reminiscent of late-1940s arts and crafts. The beads are set on wires that widen at the end; one bead turns, the other is stable. Both exhibit marbling and vertical dark areas. The leaves look to have been handcut and formed from a sheet of silver, with incised veins and applied curling vines. The piece has a secure rollover clasp and a hand-formed wire pin stem that is marked 925...

his eccentric sterling silver bracelet combines different elements that fit together surprisingly well. Aside from its abstract, unsymmetrical design, the piece also sits comfortably and is well balanced. The intriguing clasp looks like a combination of three disparate styles but is cleverly constructed and quite secure. The bracelet measures 6 ¾ inches long by 1 1/8 inches at its widest part. It is marked 925 on the back of the center element. Weight: 16.5 grams
