1880 GORGEOUS AUSTRIAN CRYSTAL & FILIGREE BUTTERFLY BROOCH Beautifully ornate piece, well constructed, highest quality stones. . . filigree metal base with huge, dentelle cut ab stones. . . My photos didn't even come close to doing justice to this piece! Excellent condition, with a wing span of over 2 inches.

2519 BRILLIANT CUT SWALLOWTAIL BUTTERFLY BROOCH She's quite majestic looking. The light amethyst glass cabochons all have a brilliant cut, which is of such high quality workmanship. The gold tone has worn off on the high relief points in the front & back. It is old, circa early 1940s. The handset rhinestones are all clear & present. Her wing span is 2 1/2" with a length of 2.25".

2915 EARLY MARCEL BOUCHER STERLING PARTRIDGE GLASS BELLY BIRD BROOCH I believe this is a partridge bird (?). Marcel Boucher was a master designer who worked for Cartier as an apprentice and also designed for Mazer. He came to the States in the early 1920s & began his own business in 1937.  His creations are simply breath-taking! This majestic figural is no exception.  Measures 2.5 inches long. There are 3 very small dings on her faceted belly (noted in the close-ups) but cannot be seen without magnification. I would consider this piece in very good vintage condition. It is marked STERLING as well as the stamp MB with the Phrygian cap though most of the stamp has worn away.

$35

4114 WATERMELON RIVOLI GARNET RHINESTONE BROOCH PENDANT & EARRINGS Shimmering aurora borealis rhinestones, all prong set, all in glistening perfect condition!

The pin has a bale to wear as a pendant necklace. It measures 1 1/2" long. The earrings are clips, measuring 3/4" long.

4118 JULIANA STYLE STIPPLED CABOCHON DECORATIVE ART GLASS BROOCH/EARRINGS Now that I look at these pictures, I should have photographed this set on black. . . it would look striking on a black outfit! These are wonderful molded art glass beads all wired onto a bright gold tone base. There are ab crystal beads wired between the molded glass beads as well. A lot of dimension to these pieces. The stippled white & gold cabochons all have decorative pronged settings.  An unmarked designer set. The complete set is in  excellent vintage condition. The brooch measures 2" wide & the earrings are 1" wide.

3089 DESIGNER QUALITY STERLING TOPAZ BLUE GLASS PETAL BROOCH Gorgeous retro designed brooch measuring 3 1/2" long x 2 1/4" wide. The details to this is outstanding. Notice the prongs at the bottom of each of the 3 glass petals, the flower's "sepals" I guess you would call them. Just a remarkably designed brooch! It reminds me of a McClelland Barclay because of the 2 dual tones. It is only marked STERLING on the back. The pin stem is not straight but it holds tightly. There is gold loss on the pin stem as well as various spots on the back. There's some minor wear on the front, barely noticeable but I mention it all.
