The golden domes are set with a variety of semi-precious gemstones, including aquamarine, green tourmaline, garnet, citrine, and amethyst.

Stern, Brazil’s largest dealer in colored gemstones, and was quite popular in the early years of the space race, hence the nickname. The omega clips are marked 14K, but the body of the earrings are tested and guaranteed 18K gold.Origin: Brazil, ca. 1955. Condition: excellent. Dome Size: 3/4" diameter. Weight: 8.0 grams.

A lovely late Victorian 14K yellow gold pin in the Art Nouveau taste. The outer gold rim, in a modified heart shape, encloses two sprigs of gold mistletoe, enameled in soft translucent shades of green and gold. Each pair of leaves flanks a 2-1/2 point prong-set old European cut diamond. The gold stems of the mistletoe are tied with a bit of gold ribbon. Though mistletoe is now generally associated with the Christmastide kissing tradition, the Victorian language of flowers used the plant to signify difficulties that have been overcome. A small brooch such as this might have been a gift for a lady following a trying period in her life. The back retains the original pinstem and clasp marked with Krementz’ hallmark and “14K”.Origin: America, ca. 1900. Condition: excellent, no enamel damage, all original. Size: 1” x 15/16”. Weight: 2.5 grams.

A beautiful vintage pair of 18K yellow gold maple leaf earrings, each set with a diamond dew-drop. The gold surfaces are finely textured to simulate the porosity of real leaves and have intricate veining to highlight the effect. The diamonds are of fine quality, estimated at F color, VS1 clarity. The earrings have the adjustable clips frequently found on Tiffany earrings from the 1940s, and are hallmarked for George Schuler, who made much of Tiffany’s gold jewelry in that era. We’ve had these earrings along with a matching brooch (unsigned by Tiffany) in the original fitted Tiffany box, and we’ve had these earrings (signed by Tiffany without the box. Sometimes they are marked with only Schuler’s mark and sometimes they’re marked by both Schuler and Tiffany. The gold has a dark, nearly coppery color, often seen on late Retro pieces from Tiffany.Origin: America, ca. 1948. Condition: excellent, all original. Size: 1-3/32” x 7/8”. Weight: 9.0 grams. Approximate Total Diamond Weight: .16 carat.

A lovely sterling silver Art Nouveau brooch by Unger Bros. The design features a young woman's face in profile, the side of her head partially hidden by a large pansy blossom and foliage. In the language of flowers, the pansy signified "remembrance" and a pin of this sort might have been worn to convey that sentiment. The details are beautifully worked. The back of the pin retains the original pinstem and c-clasp, and is stamped with Unger's hallmark.Origin: America, ca. 1900. Condition: excellent, sharp detail, all original. Size: 1-1/4" x 1-3/8".
