regbuttr.jpg (85967 bytes) B11453 Regency Rhinestone Butterfly Pin -- ooh la la, the stones and colors in this pin are magnificent! Set in japanned (blackened) metal, the jewel tones of this pin's rhinestones just pop right out! Some of the stones have an aurora borealis coating. Signed "Regency" in oval on reverse. 2" across. Condition: Excellent. SOLD
corobluep.jpg (35370 bytes) B11395 Coro Enameled Blue Flower Pin -- gorgeous, large pot metal flower pin dating from the late 1930s/early 1940s. Marked "Coro" on reverse. Measures 4" tall. Condition: Excellent. $135
triffine.jpg (62692 bytes) B11485 Trifari Blue and Red Flower Pin -- this piece is so well-made! The textured leaves are finely detailed; the blue plastic cabochons and red "flat back" glass stones have the look of real turquoise and gems. Dates from the 1960s. 2-1/4" across. Condition: Excellent. $45
duetneck.jpg (49569 bytes) B11328 Coro (Unmarked) "Duette" Necklace -- this is apparently an unmarked Coro, made to match one of the delightful Coro duettes. This particular piece may have been made later; its burgundy enameling is a bit shinier, as is its goldwash. The chain is more contemporary, and may or may not be original to the necklace. Nevertheless, it is a lovely piece. About 16-1/2" in length. Condition: Very Good, with minor plating loss on chain and some yellowed stones. $105
marslieu.jpg (50850 bytes) B11323 Marslieu Sterling Hand/Faux Pearl Set -- fabulous "hand" set of sterling with very light goldwash; each hand is holding a faux pearl cabochon. Earrings are screwbacks. Pin is 2-1/4" across; earrings are 1" across. All are marled "Marslieu Sterling Pat Pend."  Condition: Good, with slightly spotty plating, and grayed and a few missing rhinestones (which I will replace if I can match). $95
irispin.jpg (103160 bytes) B11345 Coro Purple Iris-Style Pin -- I hesitate to call this an iris, as it really doesn't look like one. But it's pretty, and nicely textured with tiny dots and striations. Probably dates from the 60s, or perhaps the 70s. Goldtone. 3-1/2" tall. Condition: Very Good, with extremely minor enamel chipping. $68
cororoses.jpg (79522 bytes) B11394 Coro Pastel Rose Bouquet Pin -- lavender, yellow, pink and blue roses grace this eight-rose bunch, tied up with a pretty rhinestone bow. Made in two pieces and riveted together; rhodium plated back and goldtone front. Measures 3" tall. Condition: Very Good, with slightly age-dimmed rhinestones and very minor enamel chipping. SOLD
trifhya.jpg (70666 bytes) B11293 Trifari Hyacinth Pin -- this appears to be a 1960s re-issue of Trifari's lovely enameled hyacinth pin from the 30s/40s. It's pure goldtone, no enameling, and has a textured back. Genuine Trifari; signed on reverse "Trifari (c)" with a crown above the T. A different, but lovely, treatment of a treasured Trifari Alfred Philippe floral design. Excellent condition. Measures just shy of 3" tall. $45
seliniears.jpg (24109 bytes) B11244 Selini "Devil Face" Earrings -- no, these are not the well-known Selro pieces; these are marked "Selini." The devil  (or old asian man) faces are the same, though, so this pair would definitely complement a matching Selro bracelet or necklace. Each clip earring is set in silvertone and is 1" tall. $65
trifcab.jpg (67255 bytes) B11080 Trifari "Egg" Cabochon Pin and Earrings -- a lovely set which may date from the 60s or even the 70s. Multicolor cabs, set nest-like in a goldtone pin. The earrings are not an exact match but are a wonderful "go with." They do feature the same sort of spotted green glass cabs as the pin. Brooch measures 1-1/2" across; earrings are 7/8". $85 
corobas.jpg (40137 bytes) B11255 Coro Faux Blue "Moonstone" Basket Pin -- pretty little basket in goldtone, with a bow and plastic faux "moonstone" fruit. The pin is 2-1/2" tall; marked "Coro" on reverse. $55
aliceset.jpg (165812 bytes) B11273 Alice Caviness Molded Art Glass Beaded Necklace and Earrings -- va va voom! Take a good look at this beautiful dual-strand necklace . . . there are several shapes of molded brown-and-white-swirl art glass beads, as well as glittery yellow rhinestone rondels, textured leafy bead caps, and faceted crystal beads. Necklace is about 16-1/2" long; earrings are about 1" across. A couple of beads have a minor ding or two, but overall, this is one fantastic set! $145
coropink2.jpg (68881 bytes) B11307 Coro Pink Enameled Pin -- a bit paler than the photo suggests, this silvertone pin sports a center of pink rhinestones and faux pearls. Textured reverse indicates this pin is from the 60s or later. 3-3/4" long. Condition: Good, with some yellowed glue and sloppy enamel. $38
hargreen.jpg (52471 bytes) B11308 HAR Heavily Enameled Flower Pin -- another of the HAR tiny beauties, this pin is less than 2" across. Condition: Very Good to Excellent, with nearly-perfect enameling. $40
coroshred.jpg (81789 bytes) B11277 Corocraft "Shredded" Flower Pin -- this pin combines two of my very favorite colors -- purple and blue. It's a lovely flower pin, that I have seen before in other color combinations, such as pink and red. This dates from the 60s or possibly the 70s, and is in goldtone with heavy enameling. Measures 2-1/2" across. Condition: Very Good, with only one tiny chip. $40 
rejaflwr.jpg (91691 bytes) B11056 Reja Sterling Flower Pin -- gee, I can't decide if this is supposed to be a flower or a 4-leaf clover! A flower, I think, with the fancy center. Gorgeous rhinestone'd petals and center, with no dark stones that I can see. Stamped "REJA STERLING" on reverse. appears to be rhodium plated. Measures 2-1/2" across at widest point. $140
halfduet.jpg (86809 bytes) B11175 Half of a Coro Duette -- I actually own a copy of this duette, in complete form. Accordingly, even though this is unsigned, I know it is Coro -- Coro tended to sign their duettes on the duette mechanism only. This pink enameled flower is a dress clip, orientation as presented in the picture. Some minor enamel chipping, otherwise this pot metal pin is in great shape. Clip is 1-1/4" across. HOLD
kreisbr.jpg (68406 bytes) B11231 Kreisler Flower Link Bracelet -- goldtone metal with links showing a hint of coppertone, this bracelet is a nice, classic design just perfect for the office. Measures 7" in length. SOLD
coromoon.jpg (80895 bytes) B11139 Coro Faux Moonstone Flower Pin -- gorgeous deep blue faux plastic cabochons form the flower buds in this lovely enameled bouquet pin. There is some dark streaking on the flower stems that I can't remove; the effect provides a nice patina of age. I would guess that this pin is from the 30s. 3" high. $55
