American modernist sterling cuff made by Ed Wiener, c.1950s.
Excellent condition and measures 2 1/4" wide.
Composed of 8-mm carnelian beads alternating with rough wirework beads of a slightly larger size and low-content silver. There appears to be a mark struck on one link (see photo 5). The chain measures approx. 32 inches long, unclasped. A modern spring-ring clasp has been added.
This Yao necklace and matching pair of earrings have added beads and long silk tassels. Both are light weight and easy to wear. The earrings are hollow with the same repeated design pattern on the backside. The wire loop may be a bit thick as they were made to accommodate the large ear holes which are traditional for the Chinese minority groups. These loops could easily be changed out for posts or a thinner wire hoop.
This beautiful bracelet is 7 1/8" long x 1/2" wide. It is made with turquoise and pearl stones, using fine wire: the signature look of some of Hobe pieces, strung together to a metal, chain-like frame. It is in goldtone and is in excellent condition. It is unsigned.

This charming pin is the embodiment of Victorian design. A very stylized butterfly perches on a row of 'gold' ball-shaped dangles. The butterfly is centered with a colorless brilliant, and flanked by small ruby pastes at each side. As was common at the time in the Victorian era, a matching stickpin acts as a safety feature as well as being pretty. The pin is a generous 1 1/2" and is gold filled. There is a maker's mark PC Co.

The pendant's good weight, sweeping, free-flowing curves and the crown-set citrine (according to ...

This example retains all three of its original parts, each worked in gold and silver and set with table cut diamonds. Croix ...
