1005020036/Monet Basket of Flowers
Attention all basket collectors! Although this particular floral arrangement contains no gems, per se, it does possess ornate detail and is hardly a wall flower! Signed Monet and reflecting both highly polished and brushed gold tone metal, this nicely weighted brooch measures a whopping 3" by 3". A nice example of Monet's work that was beautifully manufactured and finished with care, this piece appears to be unworn and is in superior condition. A must have for basket collectors.

1005020029/Butler & Wilson's Version of Polly
This polly parrot is a pretty bird but get her upset and her tail feathers will fly! Really. Elongated strands of connected rhinestones, each with a brightly colored red thin navette, ends the "feather." The entire bird is brightly colored as a matter of fact. Reds, blues, greens and warm topaz rhinetones fill this bird with flashy hues. Nicely sized, the bird measures a bit more than 4" in length and is 1" at its widest point. On the reverse side you see the Butler & Wilson signature and the wonderful rhodium plating that enhances this entirely prong set bird. Excellent Condition.

1005020033/Sterling & Marcasite Grasshopper Brooch

Depicted with tremendous detail, the bug measures 2.75" in length and 1.25" in height, and is quite substantial in weight and simply states Sterling on the reverse. Hand and prong set marcasite line the body of the bug and a green rhinestone has been strategically placed for the eye. A marvelous creation in excellent condition.

1005020016/Mazer Goldwashed Sterling Bow Brooch
A lovely brooch designed with simplistic elegance, this piece is signed Mazer Sterling on the reverse side - the signature so faint - I almost missed it! Just as a double knotted bow would be tied to create extra loops and finishing with a multitude of ribbon endings, this figural piece mimics reality with the ribbon endings further enhanced with prong set blue and clear rhinestones. The center of the bow hosts a square unfoiled stone that can only be described as raspberry in color - a most unusual shade. Lovely and in traditional 1940s style, the brooch measures 2.25" by 2.25" and is in excellent condition.

1005020046/Cini Sterling Silver Brooch
What a sweet little angel.....or is it? Although depicted by an angel, this is part of Cini's figural series of the astrological signs. Measuring 2.25 x 1.25", marvelous attention to detail is apparent: the fern like feather that ribbons into the angels hands - while accompanied by flower buds - wings and finally, due to aging, has acquired a fabulous patina making it appear almost pewter-like. Original pin stem and Cini signature, this piece is in Excellent Condition

1005020039/Whimsical JJ Cat in a Fishbowl

Caught with his paw in the fishbowl, the small fish dangles and attempts to move away from the kitties claws. Done in a pewter-tone metal, the piece will nicely accent both casual and business wear.

1005020027/Made in France Frosted Flower Dress Clip
Signed Made in France on the clip, and probably from the late 1940s, this 1.75 square dress clip is fashioned from gold toned metal that has been frosted with both gold and light blue enamel. The blue enamel outlines each petal and appears to have been hand painted. Each of the four flowers is slightly convex so that the veins of the flowers pick up the light and aid in highlighting the faceted aqua blue center stones. Extremely well made, very different and in excellent condition.
