Victorian Gutta percha DROP earrings necklace

This 1800's vulcanite, gutta percha and genuine jet necklace and long drop earrings are something to behold! The vulcanite is  the chain ( see the mottled coloring in the closeup) and the gutta percha and the jet are on the drops. The pendant and earrings would have all been hand cut and carved and each is quite large. Vulcanite is a hard, moldable dark brown or black early plastic sometimes erroneously called "gutta percha". This material was used for memorial pieces in the mid-Victorian period.SInce this piece also has gutta percha (Gutta percha is a resin from the Isonandra Gutta tree. Jewelry was made from gutta percha in the mid-1800's. The Gutta percha company was founded by Dr. Montgomerie in 1845 and was in business until 1930) and jet ( Black fossil coal or wood that can be easily carved into jewelry. Some jet is polished and some has an opaque appearance. Jet became fashionable for mourning jewelry in the nineteenth-century when Queen Victoria went into mourning after the deaths of her husband and mother ) this has quite a unique grouping of some of the materials used only during the victorian period.  Victorian The necklace has a length of 23" ( included the beautifully etched rollo link chain) and the drop  is an additional of 6 1/2". The earrings are both 3" long with a lot of layered detailing using the jet and gutta percha. The pieces are in very good condition with little wear and are even nicer than the photos. Both earrings have the exact same berry shapes on the part that hooks to the ear as well as the center piece. Both have the same huge 3/4" jet ball at the bottom. One wire could stand a little re-bending. Each has a little different shape on the anchor shaped  piece. It is a lovely grouping of sentimental jewelry that is highly collectible and still has a place in this day and age.

Vintage Victorian figural Mariner Acorn Bar pin

This unusual Victorian bar brooch has acorn ends that looks as if they should twist off ( like a nanny brooch where sewing thread and needle would be stored) but I don't think they do. The center piece is of a lighthouse and a sail boat which makes me think this must have been a sweetheart brooch. The Center pieces is rose gold plate and the rest of the brooch is a yellow gold plate that is so rich in color is looks like ormolu. Lots of detail on this and in good condition too. This measures 2 1/4" long and a little over 1/2" at its widest.Since this is Irreplaceable there can be no returns on this sale

Victorian PINK Czech Blown GLASS Necklace chandelier Earrings Bracelet

These vintage hand blown PINK czech beads are all original and are very rare indeed. I have never seen so many one one necklace, much the additional ones on the wrap bracelet and lovely thick chandelier screw on earrings. If you look close you can see the soft bands in the glass and you can also see each bead is a little different from each other. THe detail in the composition of this amazing necklace is hard to see in the photos, but it is actually like a spiders web with all the drops intricately wired into one main strand. This is something you don't see often so be sure you don't pass it up. The necklace is 20" long on the shortest strand and the longest drop is over 5" long. The hand painted venetian beads have 18kt gold that is painstakingly painted around soft flowers. The brass is in very good condition and has a really rich golden hue. Very little if any wear or damage. The earrings are really something to behold because they are hand wired onto a rich golden brass setting that holds them so they literally drip from it. They measure 1 7/8" long and 1" across. The bracelet has 4 bands of pink czech glass beads that are just gorgeous! This group is a rarity and extremely beautiful and feminine. I hope it makes it to a home where it will be as loved as it has been with us. Since this is Irreplaceable there can be no returns on this sale

Angelskin Edwardian Coral tear drop long fancy earrings

Genuine Edwardian Angelskin coral beads standout so well against this beautiful horseshoe design hanger. The length of these beauties is almost 2 1/2" and they hand from shell motif top french hinged wired. The two teardrops on either side are the nicest finishing touch on such elegant and regal earrings. The metal work on the drop is raised relief with hints of enameling that give the columns depth. As you can see on our model, they are quite beautiful and they are in such great condition. The Edwardian style combined with the antique coral really brings you into the era where jewelry was genteel and stately! I am not sure of the metal content. And now for the tedious part that you probably already know: PLease remember that vintage & antique items are not mint, nor are they perfect but they sure are full of old history and charm. All items are sold as is and as found (used and probably vintage) Since this is Irreplaceable there can be no returns on this sale.. Please use photos to make your decisions.

These pretty little lovelies a have genuine opal stone in the center of ornate wire settings. WIth Fleur de lis tops they are pierced and are so very feminine!These are marked on the back ( see photo) but I can't make out what they it says. They have not been tested for gold and have not been polished so you can see the original patina on them. I feel they are at least gold filled. These measure 1" long and other then polishing are in excellent condition. I would date them somewhere prior to the 30's.
