288 Vintage Sarah Coventry MIDNIGHT MAGIC Smoky Gray Glass and Pink Rhinestone Gunmetal Pin-Pendant Necklace Bracelet and Earrings Set
REDUCED FROM $150 Sensational! This is one of the vintage Sarah Coventry designs that's not limited to Sarah collectors; anyone who collects vintage jewelry wants Midnight Magic! The main design element is a glass segment cut and foiled to look like a 2-over-2 window. Two windows are used in the pin/pendant, five are used in the bracelet, and one is perfect for each earring. In certain light or at certain angles, the smoky color of the glass gains a purple or olivine green cast. The fabulous window-cut glass is highlighted by rosy pink rhinestones and framed with beading and roping metalwork. Each clip earring is 1 1/4" long, the bracelet is 1 5/16" wide and just shy of 7 1/2" long, the pin/pendant is 2 1/2" long, and the chain has a maximum length of 18". 
867 Vintage Sarah Coventry LOVE STORY Crystal Hearts Silvertone Birthstone Ring 11 November Golden Topaz
Beautiful birthstone design with two Austrian crystal hearts in detailed metalwork including beading, roping and flowers. A bit more than 3/4" long, point to point. Adjustable; currently size 7 3/4. Difficult to find November. 
E23 Vintage Emmons FIREY ICE Fiery Red Orange Rhinestone Flower Starburst Sunburst Goldtone Pin and Lever Clip Earrings Set
Flashy slender navettes are piled up like a bonfire! The pin is 1 7/8" in diameter and stands just shy of 1" tall! The earrings are 1 1/8" in diameter. I haven't been able to locate my source for the design name, so I'm not sure that "fiery" was mis-spelled as "firey."

Are you confused by the Sarah Coventry item counts? That's because of the Sarah Coventry subcategories in the left column. They allow you to take one link to find, for example, all vintage Sarah Coventry rings. I've entered each Sarah Coventry item in every subcategory that applies to it, and the store's search system shows every one. So, for example, say there is only one February Love Story ring in the store. If you search for it, it will come up three times in your results: under the main category Sarah Coventry and under the subcategories Birthstones and Rings. While it might look like there are three rings available, there's still only one. I know it can be a little confusing, but that's the price for having all the subcategories, and I know you love them!
All Sarah Coventry designs are also shown under the main category of Sarah Coventry, where you can browse them in alphabetical order.
I still have hundreds of pieces of Sarah Coventry to list! If you have a design in mind and can't find it here, please e-mail me at joyfulvintagejewelry@yahoo.com and describe what you're looking for.
Big News! I've just established a discussion group for vintage Sarah Coventry and Emmons jewelry enthusiasts on Facebook. Please check it out, become a fan, and start sharing with other passionate collectors today! While you do have to sign up for Facebook to join the group, you do not have to make any personal information public.
Be sure to check out some of my favorite websites. You'll find photo links below the Featured Products. Isn't BB McPup the cutest thing?!
About Joyful Vintage Jewelry: My fascination with vintage jewelry began several years ago with a search for a gorgeous brooch my mom had when I was a child. Of course, the first time I was allowed to wear it, I lost it. Thirty years later, with the help of the Internet, I found it: Sarah Coventry's Dazzling Aurora! Now, my mom has this stunning design to enjoy once again, and so do all the other ladies in my family!
Placing my hobby of collecting gorgeous and fun vintage jewelry online as Joyful Vintage Jewelry is my way of keeping the hobby alive. With two huge 8-drawer dental cabinets and countless cartons full of vintage jewelry - most of it Sarah Coventry - there's no more room in the house to expand my collection! I've also hit the limit of what I can spend on jewelry (actually, I hit it long ago!). I'm sure my fellow vintage jewelry addicts understand that. So, I'm letting go of some of my collection, so that I can keep enjoying the hunt and acquiring more!
Vintage Jewelry . . . It truly is Joyful!
Shopping is easy
Browsing: To browse, just click a category on the left side of this page.
Searching: That inviting white search block at the top of the page is so unpredictable! If it decides not to work when you want to search, please use the Advanced Search function.
Information You Need to Know
Artisan Jewelry: Jewelry designed and made by me. Every piece is unique.
Vintage Jewelry: Unless otherwise noted in an item's description, it is vintage and pre-owned. That means that practically all the jewelry you see here is at least 20 years old.
Condition: Anything that is 20 to 80 years old is not "mint" or "perfect." Even brand new jewelry is not perfect! So, those terms won't be used to describe the vintage jewelry offered here. However, the vast majority of the jewelry is in very good to excellent condition. If an item has an issue (for example, a chipped stone, finish loss or plate loss), it will be noted in the item description.
Cleaning and Polishing: Vintage jewelry offered will generally not require cleaning; if it does, it will be mentioned in the item's description. As many folks who enjoy vintage jewelry prefer the patina of age, I do not polish Sterling Silver jewelry.
US Funds and PayPal: All payments must be made in US funds and only through PayPal.
Shipping: All shipping is done through the United States Postal Service using Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation and Priority Mail International service. The following table will be used to add the shipping cost to your order.
