Wonderful antique cut steel necklace comprised of individual cut steel pieces riveted onto a metal back, as was common to early cut steel pieces. The central five sections are three dimensional, with each of the flower petals having two layers to give this effect. Each of the small cut steel pieces are faceted, with twelve facets to each piece. The other fifteen smaller flowers are one dimensional, and the clasp is tongue in groove with a cut steel top. A truly lovely antique necklace.
Condition: Some age wear to the shine of the cut steel.
Size: length- 17 inches. Diameter of the largest flower is - 1 1/4 inches.

A fabulous diamond and ruby brooch that may have been part of a stomacher at one time. Possibly Spanish in origin. The brooch is made of silver with a gold pin and C clasp. Design is an elaborate flower and leaf motif with mine cut diamonds and emerald cut rubies highlighting the design. Closed back.
A beautiful and rare brooch.
Condition: Very good. Under strong magnification there are some minor flaws in the diamonds, and some traces of old solder where the pin was attached. Nothing that detracts from the appearance of this quality antique piece.
Size: 2 1/2 inches X 1 1/2 inches.

A silver plated brooch of a powerful hunting dog and rats is a most uncommon motif for an antique brooch. However, this unusual high relief piece shows a hunting dog stalking several rats in a straw basket that is standing in a field with surrounding grass and a sheaf of wheat. Image could possibly be from a fairy tale, or fable. Material is likely copper with a silver plate finish. Reverse side seems to be brass with a C clasp and pin , much like a Shakudo piece.
Condition: Highlights of copper showing through, but this may have been intentional.
Size: 2 1/4 inches X 1 1/4 inches.

A very interesting large and heavy sterling silver cuff bracelet marked with an H in a square. I am assuming the bracelet is Peruvian in origin, based on the native designs on the outside of the piece. Very intricate and detailed work - some incised, and some of the designs in quite high relief. Masks and stylized figures as shown in the photographs. A very handsome and unusual piece.
Condition: Very nice.
Size: 6 3/4 inches around outside of wider section, and approx. 6 inches around the smaller. Opening is a bit flexible to allow one to slip in their wrist.
