A wonderful late Victorian 14K yellow gold brooch in the form of a dragon. The scaly creature unfurls his feathered wings and rides on a ship-like vessel decorated in the Etruscan style. The dragon's traditional tail has been transformed into a foliate bouquet. His jaws clasp a prong-set old European cut diamond and his eye and wing are set with small rubies. Interestingly, the reverse side of the pin is completely covered with ornate engraved decoration--a most curious treatment since it is not visible when being worn. The pin retains its original pinstem and early safety clasp, marked "14K".Origin: America, ca. 1900. Condition: excellent, all original. Size: 1" x 1-3/8". Weight: 7.0 grams.

A marvelous Art Nouveau dog collar necklace comprising a double row of very fine gold chains joining collet-set navette-cut turquoise cabochons interspersed with double s-shaped, pierced gold plaques. The choice of stones is particularly attractive, using the natural matrix to provide brown and cream color contrast with the bluish-green turquoise. The stones are very slightly graduated in size. The necklace was originally 13” long, but was extended with additional chains at one end to a total of 15-1/4”; and the original box clasp was replaced with the current vermeil clasp. This piece can be fitted to a particular neck by adjusting the number of links between each stone to achieve perfect draping. Tested and guaranteed 14K gold.Origin: America, ca. 1895. Condition: excellent, extended as noted above. Size: 15-1/4” long; 1-7/32” wide at center. Weight: 28.5 grams. Approximate Total Gemstone Weight: 45.0 carats.

A wonderfully naughty Art Nouveau 18K yellow gold ring depicting a couple engaged in mutual oral stimulation. Victorian and Edwardian erotic jewelry is extremely rare, having been made only for the daring few who were willing to wear such things in public. Like other pieces of erotica, the designer was charged with making the object look as innocent as possible, only revealing its true nature upon very careful and prolonged inspection. Upon first examination, this ring appears to be a typical sinuous floral Art Nouveau design. Looking closely however, the design reveals a man and woman amorously entwined. Even the back of the shank is decorated with a pair of somewhat cleverly concealed penises. The ring is marked with French hallmarks for 18K gold.Origin: France, ca. 1910. Condition: excellent, very little wear. Size: 1/2" wide. Finger Size: 8-3/4. Weight: 7.5 grams.

Outstanding pair of early Art Nouveau 18K yellow gold earrings set with aquamarines. The surmounts, each set with three aquamarine beads, support double chains suspending shields set with oval aquamarines, in turn fringed with chain drops terminating in balls. The shields have foliate decoration that just begin to show the Art Nouveau sensibility. The chain elements are textured in the style more often associated with Etruscan Revival pieces. The aquamarines are of very fine quality with superb color and clarity. The earrings have lots of movement. They are long, yet are light enough to be worn comfortably. The earrings have been converted to screwbacks, but could easily revert to wires or even posts. Tested and guaranteed 18K gold.Origin: America, ca. 1890. Condition: excellent. Size: 2-7/16” long. Weight: 15.0 grams. Approximate Total Gemstone Weight: 12.35 carats.

The enamel is highlighted by two tiny seed pearls, and the center features a collet-set old European cut aquamarine. The gemstone has beautiful color that coordinates exceptionally well with the enamel.

Condition: very good, there is a 1/16” and a 1/8” nick in the enamel below the aquamarine, but because of the coloring of the enamel it is very difficult to see except under very close inspection.

A nice late Victorian good luck brooch in the form of a horseshoe supporting an enameled four-leaf clover—both traditional symbols of good luck. The clover is nicely enameled in very striking colors and is centered with a seed pearl. Small pins such as this were popular gifts to which great sentiment was attached. Those with clovers were sometimes given as going-away gifts or when “good luck” was the expressed sentiment. The back retains the original clasp with an unidentified maker’s mark (probably a Newark maker) and is marked 10K.Origin: America, ca. 1900. Condition: no enamel damage, no dings, pinstem replaced. Size: 1” x 7/8”. Weight: 2.5 grams.
