A fine Victorian shell cameo pendant/pin depicting Diana, goddess of the hunt, the moon and nature (Artemis in Green mythology). The setting is beautifully worked in the Etruscan taste with delicately formed bead, wire and rosette decoration. The carving makes nice use of the shell's coloring to add details to the goddess' gown. She holds three of her attributes—a bow, a quiver of arrows and a crescent moon tiara...

A fun vintage 14K yellow gold tie bar by Richardson & Co. in the form of a baseball bat. Figural tie bars, often doubling as money clips, were popular from the 1930s to the 50s. They were often sporting themes, such as skis, golf clubs, and fishing rods, but this is the first baseball bat we’ve seen. The back is stamped “14K” and also has Richardson’s hallmark.

This is the matching bracelet to the Enrique Ledesma sterling and azur-malachite necklace and earrings set that I am offering. Although I have priced and listed the earrings with the necklace, the earrings could be priced separately to go with the bracelet if so desired. Better still would be to purchase the entire set as it is rare to find a set like this with all the pieces available. This bracelet measures 6 3/4" around in the inside when closed and is 1" wide...

This piece is a pin, but can easily be worn as a pendant suspended from a chain without alteration...
