This has a blue tear drop center with TINY TINY seed pears around it. The finishing touch is the cut glass blue charm drop on it. WONDERFUL piece that is probably one in a million.

BIZARRE Victorian 14kt ROSE GOLD CLAW & Genuine CORAL Ball Stick pin
 
The Romantic era and Darwin's theory brought about a new fascination with nature, adding
Eden-like symbols such as the serpent, grapes, flowers, and birds to the 'romantic' motif. This , to me is
one of the more mysterious symbols. Reminds you of Medieval times when birds would hold the jewels of the
queen. This is 14kt rose gold and it holds a real angelskin coral ball that is 10mm. Angelskin coral was popular
in the victorian period and is pretty hard to find anymore. This one measures 2 3/4" long and stands out 1/2" wide. In great shape with nice detail this is a real collectible. THe ribs on the pin were to hold delicate materials in place.

RARE 14KT GOLD PRe Civil war Aesthetic brooch
 
YUP, more from the LOUISIANA estate that has VOODOO and strange items that are out of our personal collection of , well lets say, a little creepy but totally rich in history of times when things were not written down, only passed along.
This 14kt solid gold brooch has TEETH ( yup, REAL teeth) in it and as far as I can determine they are animal. In a rose colored world, I would like to think that someone loved their pet and once they passed kept these and had them mounted to cherish the memory. In a not so perfect world this did come from an estate where things were a bit creepy with voodoo and some not so explainable things came from. I am leaving this one up to you .
This is marked 14kt and it is really quite a beautiful piece, teeth and all. Just look at the metalwork on this and you can tell it was made by a craftsman and the person who owned it was not a poor person. The estate we got these from was an antebellum ( period immediately prior to the Civil War (1861-1865). ( pre civil war ) plantation house in Louisiana . I do know that the family was very prestigious and they were wealthy plantation cotton kings. This is in really great condition and something you will probably never see again, much less with the limited history I have for it. IF you want to own a piece of folk lore or possibly a very real piece of the Louisiana culture, then this piece will certainly do the trick. It is 2 ½" long, ¾" at its widest and ½" thick. NOT a reproduction and in complete ORIGINAL condition. Don’t miss out at the last minute!

TREMENDOUS DECO Intaglio Glass nymph CHILD BIG Stickpin
 
The photos will give you an idea of how beautiful this is, but to see it in person is ever more extraordinary. The head on this is 1 ¾" tall and 1 ¼" wide and is original to this pin. Notice the fancy filigree base and inside the glass you can see where the metal goes up into the glass. The girl or young woman is dancing with a ribbon. Possibly a ballerina or having to do with the maypole. The arrow cap end has a genuine paste brilliant rhinestone that just sparkles like no other . The total length is 3 ¾" long and is in very good condition. I don‘t see any chips or nicks in this either. Truly a wonderful piece for hat and stickpin and glass collectors.

20's DECO Mary Gregory Glass rhinestone stickpin
 
What an adorable Victorian child in her ruffed dress and bonnet! This is reverse painted and it measures 1 ¾" long. I think it may be a Mary Gregory piece because she is easily recognized by simplicity and naïve charm. There is a myth that Mary Gregory (Miss) was an old lady who painted the children she longed for but never had. The painted and enameled decoration consists of children in silhouette, typically Victorian and quite similar to the illustrations by Britain's Kate Greenaway. These children could be flying kites, bowling hoops, blowing bubbles or simply playing, usually surrounded by grass, foliage or fern. They are dressed in typical Victorian 'Sunday Best' clothes, usually knickerbockers, sailor suits or crinolines.!This is a reverse etched intaglio glass head two piece stick pin. THe bottom part has a screw on piece that is of paste rhinestones. The top has the large glass head piece that is 2" long and has a paste rhinestone upswept setting. The total length is 4". IT is a rare fine to get one that is not broken much less one with the ornate setting this one has.

RARE SCARAB 10kt gold AESTHETIC 1800's Enamel stick PIN
What a really rare piece this it. Not only does it have the old scarab but it has a flag from the 1800’s on its back. The pin stem is 10kt gold. The top is not. Not the best shape but such a rare piece that I doubt you will ever see another like it. This measures 2" long. IT is all original. Just a little history on how insects became a part of the fashion world. The aesthetic period brought about some of the most unusual pieces .In the late 1800's, Darwin's controversial theories on evolution, as well as new botanical discoveries taking place, created quite an interest in the natural world. Personal
adornments and vanity items reflected these new interests with jewelry created in forms of insects and animals.
