Unique circa 1950s sterling silver necklace by important mid-century silversmith Rebajes. The hand wrought pendant is constructed of silver, a green stone that appears to be agate or jade, and a glowing genuine (cultured?) pearl. The large pendant measures approx. 2.5" in length (including the bale) and 2" in width. It has a small silver plaque on the rear bearing the old "Rebajes, Sterling" mark with a sideways "S"...

Striking necklace by important African American silversmith Art Smith, circa 1950s. The necklace is three dimensional, with the internal opening on a higher plane than the outer loop. The large scale of this piece of 'wearable art' makes this a very desirable find.

Brass. Excellent condition. Choker length measuring approx. 5"x 8". Interior opening measures just over 4" in diameter. It is correctly signed "Art Smith" on the rear.
