This is my favorite piece ever because it belogned to my Grandmother. It is a 14K Gold Medallion with a 23" 10K gold chain, dated 1939.




The elephant charm was my mother's and its 14K gold, its about 20 years old.

This is my antique Asprey brooch dating from 1800-1820. Yellow gold on the underside, silver on the top, 2.5-3 carats in total of rosecut diamonds.

this is an antique ring with an odd history. it's a heavy, handmade setting in 18K YG. the base consists of 2 pieces of hand-carved jade. the top is a platinum art deco piece with 2 mine cut diamonds.

24K chinese gold dragon and phoenix bangle. It's light and beautifully casted. My mother special ordered it from a mold seen at her jeweler's. It may be close to 40 years old.

heavy 22K dragon bangle. ruby gemstones (?) May be older than 40 years. I forgot to add, the dragon's tongue is reticulated, cute to watch it spring up and down.

My father and I purchase large Estate lots frequently and I have a great love of Antique pieces- especially the Art Deco period. These Diamond earrings are from the early 1900's to 1920's. There is an 18K Natural pearl & diamond earring pair that you can sort of see in one of the pictures too.

i recently went back to visit my parents and my mom gave me this ring. it belonged to my great-grandmother (who was from austria) and it's over 100 years old. i thought it was just gorgeous!

sorry for the bad pics though.
