Zzz (SOLD!)

Adele Simpson pieces are RARE, and this one is a simple, classy design with four rhinestones and three simulated pearls at the center of a domed heart. The front shows the light surface scratching of its age. The back has lost some of its gold and has several spots where a label had been attached and removed. I did not attempt to clean this brooch. 1 1/2" tall.

Pretty orbit pin with a 1/4" aqua rhinestone. It looks like gold filled, but it is not marked. The stone is a BIT CLOUDY. 1 1/4" in diameter.

Pretty design with faux semi-precious stones like rose quartz, amethyst and jade. With a goldtone loop of the same size, they form a flower or cross with a central clear rhinestone. The chain is 17 1/2" long.

This is a gorgeous pin with baguettes, chatons and navettes set in wonderful gold-plated metalwork. Outstanding design depth. About 1 3/8" across.

This lovely silhouette cameo is 2 1/2" tall. It's rather lightweight for its size, so I'm guessing it is some sort of plastic. Notice the nice antiqued metalwork framing the cameo. I've listed this at a low price because the locking mechanism on the back is LOOSE and the pin has a dark spot in the middle of it (however, it does not feel rough, so it should not catch and pull fabric when putting the brooch on). Signed LG within the outline of an artist's palette on an oval cartouche.

Pretty marbled pattern has a lot of depth to it. About 1 1/8" in diameter.

Stunning combination of rich chocolate moonglow beads, amber bicone crystals and art beads, all in graduated sizes. Some of the crystals have an aurora borealis finish, and some of the moonglow beads are wearing filigree caps. The art beads (ceramic?) are gorgeous in mottled lavender, charcoal and cream. Several of them are fluted, and all wear filigree caps. Perfectly finished with connector findings dressed with four aurora borealis rhinestones. 16" maximum length. Each clip earring is 1 3/16" in diameter. Minor scuffing here and there noticeable only upon close inspection.

This is an outstanding Claudette design. The art glass cabochons have a glittery foil base and combine beautifully with the deep blue chatons and aurora borealis ice blue chatons. The brooch is 2" in diameter, and each clip earring is about 1 1/4" tall. Has the usual Claudette problems of minor glue residue and a few stones not precisely set, but these are not noticeable except upon inspection.

These guys are so cute! Where them together as a 2 1/4" tall brooch, or wear them separately as 1 3/4" tall dress clips. Minor scuffs in enamel. A beautiful piece!

Damascene is so beautiful! Look at all the details in this guitar pin! It has gorgeous designs made by applying gold and silver to another metal and oxidizing what is not covered by the precious metals. An unusual surprise on this pin is the addition of several tiny spots of green enamel. An absolutely beautiful pin! The locking mechanism is loose, and the back of the pin would benefit from a light polishing. 1 7/8" long.

This is the first Damascene Viking longship I've seen. There is a horned Viking helmet depicted on the sail, a line of shields, and a horse or dragon figurehead. 1 7/8" long. The pin is SLIGHTLY bent but still works properly.

Wonderfully detailed galleon with red Maltese Crosses on the sails. 1 1/2" long. This is the nicest Damascene galleon I have seen in five years of collecting.

Beautiful galleon pin with four stacked sails. There's a TINY spot on the post of the left flag, and a 1/8" mark on top of the sail below it. I don't know if this is something that will clean off (I tried a bit of water and a Q-Tip, and it helped immensely), or if there's actually some sort of finish damage there. About 2 1/8" tall.

Stunning earrings with 3/4" long dark glass cabochons that are both fluted and faceted. The gorgeous aurora borealis rhinestones (more correctly, Austrian crystals, I believe) throw blues and pinks and complement the light-reflecting cabs beautifully. 1 1/4" long.

Stunning! This pin will truly take your breath away! The color combination alone is a stroke of design genius; nobody can look away from the mesmerizing deep Capri blue dancing amongst the aurora borealis crystals. The design is a masterpiece of depth and layering. Slender navettes alternate with spokes of three AB rhinestones to form the 2 5/8" diameter base. The next layer professes D&E's manufacturing prowess as 19 of the gorgeous navettes are held in place at a precise angle, giving the illusion of movement over the base stones. Several layers of AB rhinestones rise in the center of the Capri blue cup and are crowned by a 3/8" stone of the same fabulous color. This pin is magnificent!
