Huge Francois multilevel brooch
Over 3" tall goldtone multitiered openwork brooch. Francois was a short lived, high-end branch of Coro, and the mark is rarely encountered. Darkening of some clear stones, otherwise in very good condition. N9-Fra01 $82
Miriam Haskell faux pearl earrings
Two faux baroque pearls are the centerpieces in each of these lovely vintage Haskell earrings. Marks? You want marks? They outdid themselves on these. "Haskell" appear on the patented screwback/clipback arrangement, " "Miriam Haskell" appears in circular formation on the back of the filigree earring mount, and the patent number "3,176,475" on the heel of the screwback. Measure 3/4" high, great condition. F0-Has002 $47
Miriam Haskell in white and faux coral
Bears the Miriam Haskell mark in oval cartouche on the slide-in clasp. Wonderful condition. I have not removed the patina on the clasp, as many collectors of vintage jewelry prefer it intact. N9- Has001 $52

NEW! Magnificently fishy Cadoro pin
Wild and wonderful! A 2 3/8" high
figural that is a swimmingly convincing justification for Cadoro's
fine reputation. A green-eyed, tail-up, beautifully scaled fish with
rich enameling on the fins rests atop a pearlescent shell with a single
clear rhinestone on its side. I've given you a side view as well, so
you can see the high relief this piece was crafted with. Perfect
condition and a delightful seascape for the shoulder. JO-Cad001
SOLD
Barclay white blooms
A spray of molded white plastic blossoms sprout from a goldtone setting accented with clear rhinestones. Signed "Barclay," measures just over 1 3/4" across. Overall excellent condition; slight bend at far left appears to be possibly a casting flaw. Hence, the sweet price. F0-Bar001 $9

NEW! D'Orlan tailored-look necklace with nifty adjustable feature

Miriam Haskell flower earrings
Classic clipback earrings from Haskell ~ textured goldtone leaves surround a circle of gently twinkling clear stones; centerpiece is a jet black faceted stone. F0-Has004 Minor wear to finish on leaves, so this collectible Haskell is only $20
