This is a very pretty clear rhinestone set - sort of has a dainty, lacy look to it. It is rhodium plated, and the necklace is a choker 14" long with a 4" extension. It is about 1/2" wide all the way around. The matching earrings are clips, and each one is 1" long by 1" wide. All three pieces are in excellent condition, and only the earrings are marked.

This is an unusual piece for Hobe, and I assume it is a later one - maybe from the 1970s. It measures 2" by 2", and even though it is large, it is light weight and easy to wear. It is in good condition and is marked, as shown.

This is a large and showy set - it is made of gold toned metal and the pin is 2 1/2" in diameter. The contrast between shiny plain metal and patterned metal in the petals of the flower makes for added interest. The matching earrings are clips, and each is 1 1/4" in diameter. The set is in excellent condition - shows no evidence of wear, and all three pieces are marked.

This is an old Art Deco necklace - 31" long with an Egyptian look with pyramid and rectangular white beads with black striation. There are lots of smaller conical white beads and round topaz colored glass beads sprinkled in. The necklace is long enough to slip over the head so it does not have a clasp. It is very old and all original, I think. It is in good condition for its age.

This is really a classic brooch that could be worn on almost any dress or suit someone owns. The brooch is 2 1/4" wide and where the stone in the middle is, it is 3/4" top to bottom. The gold metal scroll work is very pretty and the large black glass stone in the middle is in very good condition but could probably use a good cleaning. The brooch is in excellent condition and is marked Parklane along the side of the stone on the back.

This is a pretty shiny gold bangle bracelet with atop of multicolored rhinestones, all prong set. It is slightly oval with inside diameters of 2" and 2 1/2". It has a secure catch and a safety chain. The bracelet is inexcellent condition and is not marked.

This is a very pretty double strand old cream colored pearl necklace with a stunning shell pendant. The pearls are separated with tiny glass rondels. The necklace is a choker, but there is an issue with the fact that the extender is partially missing, so it is only a 12" necklace. I have two choices for extending it - pearls that won't match in all probability, or a gold colored chain. With either of them I could make it 2-3" longer which is how it probably was originally...

This is a cute pin - probably a souvenir of one of the ice shows from the late 1940s. She is made of celluloid, with a painted coral costume, silver skates, black facial features and blond hair. The figure is 2" x 1 1/2". It has a simple "c" clasp. The pin is in good condition and has no marks.

This is a very pretty Maltese cross brooch made by a company whose name I have not heard before. It is 2" each way, and made of a sort of chased gold colored metal. In the center, is an enameled square set with a large faceted bezel set sapphire blue rhinestone. It has a loop at the top so if you had a chain that would fit through it, you could wear it as a necklace. It is in good condition and is marked Pisces, as shown.

This brooch always makes me smile and remember that spring will eventually get here. It is 2 1/2" long and 1 1/2" wide.

This is a pretty pin - Styles like a bush of brushed gold leaves and blooming with aurora borealis green round faceted rhinestones. I is multidimensional, and seems well made. It is in good condition front and back, and there is a mark that is very hard to read. Under a loupe, it looks like UNUS, but I do not know if that is correct. I just know it is a very pretty brooch.

This guy represents one of the things that we no longer see much - the boy on the corner selling newspapers in all kinds of weather. This one is 2" tall and 1" wide, and is made of gold colored metal. There are rhinestones on his hat, coat and on the newspaper. The rest is red and black enameling. The pin is in good shape for as old as it is, and it is a rare pin also because it represents a previous time and place in our history.It is not marked.
