This cast piece measures 4 3/4" by 2 3/4" and is quite heavy- probably goldwash over potmetal. The swirly sprays end in unfoiled faceted glass stones in the colors of amethyst, topaz, bright pink and baby blue. The largest rectangle measures 3/4" long by 3/8". The other rectangles are 5/8" by over 1/4". The rounds are 1/2" wide- all are held in place with heavy duty prongs. In excellent condition and sure to make a statement!

The smaller navette shaped and pear shaped glass stones are openbackedand unfoiled and crystal clear. All the rest of the rhinestones except for the clear center round have a brilliant AB coating. All are prongset into black japanned metal. The back of the setting shows some wear to the black not bad given the age Back(click here) Pinpoints of wear to the pearl coating as seen in the picture.

This is such a GREAT pair of dress clips! The glass stones are just amazing! Each clip measures 1 3/4" by 1 1/4" and the settings are stamped brass. They are very detailed with a leaf border and tiny flowers throughout. The stones are faceted glass- openbacked and unfoiled. They are deeply set into the sawtoothed cups- look like the cups were formed around them, collet or bezel-set? The glass is so brilliant- it must have lead content- the colors are jeweltones-green,sapphire, amethyst,ruby, and topaz. Each clip has the same center 8mm green glass- but the two clips differ in the outer row of 5mm colored glass pieces. They do all look original- just not matched when made. The 2 flowers flanking the center green stone have marcasites as their middles. The clips are tight and grab well. Back(click here) Both pieces are in excellent condition!

WOW! This 3-dimensional brooch measures 3 3/4" by 3", with waving plumes that stand out 1/2" from their centers. It is made of a goldtone plated stamped metal. There are 3 glass cabochons- the largest is 3/4" and looks like a green catseye. The next is a bit over 1/2" and looks like carnelian. The last is 1/2" and looks like lapis- it has mottling and gold glittery veins. I believe all of them to be faux. Rolling safety clasp, in Excellent Condition!

The multi-petaled rose sits atop the horseshoe and is riveted along with the flower spray onto the rest of the brooch. There are early glass rhinestones set into the brooch as accents. In very good condition, with few signs of wear!
