	B11309	Glass Cabochon Floral Fur Clip -- dating from the late 30s or early 40s, this lovely is composed of highly domed blue glass cabochon petals, complemented by enameling and tiny clear rhinestones. Rhodium plated; clip mechanism is nice and tight. 2-1/2" tall. Condition: Very Good to Excellent. $95
	B11304	30s Flower Pin -- an interesting combination of cast and die-stamped pieces, accented with medium blue rhinestones. Bright and antiqued goldtone. Measures nearly 3" across. Condition: Good. $65
	B11311	Flower Swirl Dress Clip -- retro clip dating from the 30s or 40s. Not the best-cast pin; I have cleared away some excess mold metal as best I can. It is still a delightful pin, however; an interesting design with clear, green and purple rhinestones. Clip mechanism is tight. Condition: Very Good $95
	B10672	Pot Metal Swirl Rhinestone Pin -- a pretty little pin that probably dates from the 1930s, but could be somewhat newer. Silvertone pot metal cast construction, set with multiple sizes of clear rhinestones. Measures 2-1/4" across. $28
	B11143	Hedy 60s Enameled Flower Pin -- Fancy schmancy flower pin with "swiss cheese" holes in the petal edges. Not in perfect condition; there is some chipping of the enamel on the flower stem, at the base and above the leaves. Still a sassy piece, though, and perfect to wear on those April shower days (that bring May flowers). 3-1/2" tall. $20
	B11076	Pink Faux Moonstone Pin -- neat silvertone pot metal pin representing a bouquet of hanging flowers (possibly wisteria). Faux pink moonstone cabs highlight the piece; clear round rhinestones provide an accent. One of those delightful 30s pins that are getting harder to find. 3" across. SOLD
	B11094	Austrian Floral Spray Set -- bright, deep amber flower-shaped crystals form the focal point of this set, offset with green navette "leaves." Minor wear to the edges of the crystals. Earrings are stamped "Made in Austria," the pin is not marked. Pin is 2-3/4" high; the earrings are 7/8" each. $48
	B11189	Colorful Bud Pin -- goldwashed potmetal beauty; detailed leaves and a riot of color! The foil backing on the large green stone is slightly deteriorated and some of the smaller color stones were reglued at some point. Shows from the rear only. Two or three tiny stones missing; I'll replace if I have the right size. 3" tall! $50
	B11199	Double-Faux Moonstone Pin -- why is this double-faux? Because the moonstones are faux, and because it's made like a Duette, only it's one piece . . . so it's also a faux Duette. Lovely early pot-metal piece, probably dating from the 1930s. Stones are all present and appear bright; some yellowing of original glue (upon very close inspection). $40
	B11123	"Valentine" Double-Heart Necklace -- I'm guessing this dates from the 1950s, although it could be newer. Two rhinestone-encrusted hearts set in a bow form this beautiful necklace. The baguettes are slightly yellowed, but the rest of the stones are pretty bright. Some slight plating wear. Non-adjustable length is about 14-1/2". $45
	B11092	Trumpet Flower Pendant -- lovely old goldtone'd pot metal piece, with a bail atop it just waiting for a chain! Brightly-colored glass stamens peek out from inside the flower. Some goldwash loss on back only. About 2-3/8" across. $25
	B11121	White Rhinestone Necklace -- perfect summer piece to show off your tan and accent your summer outfits. White round and square cabochon stones, accented by clear round rhinestones. Necklace is adjustable to about 14" or so. $30
	B11032	Enameled Flower Pin -- Red, white and blue enameled flowers adorn this beauty, a goldwashed pot metal pin. There used to be a little metal vial attached to the back of the pin: for perfume or for ???, I do not know. The vial is gone, but the pin is still very wearable. 3-1/8" tall. $65
	B10966	Green Flower Fur Clip -- unfoiled, nicely faceted green rhinestones form the flower petals in this pretty pin. Pin is unmarked, other than "Pat. Pend." Stands a little under 3-1/2" high. HOLD
	B10960	"Cats-Eye" Earrings -- Nice pair of goldtone earrings, unmarked except for "Pat Pend." Large variegated "cats-eye" stones (probably plastic) are complemented by smaller green rounds and navettes. Slight deterioration of several stones, but not particularly noticeable. Pictured upside down. 1-1/2" long. $35
	B11091	Pink Flower 'n Bud Pin -- this is a fun piece, with hollow tube, wire, and diestamp construction. Pink and clear rhinestone flower "wheels" are complemented by a just-opening metal bud. Pink navette rhinestones form the leaves. Deep goldtone, verging on copper color. Measures 3" across. $50
