Vintage Topazio Portuguese sterling silver hinged bangle bracelet in a classic for the genre "harvest calendar" design in which different months of the year are illustrated by either a flower, fruit or other staple that characterizes them.

Silver lipstick cases / holders from Italy are not a rare occurrence yet how often do you come upon a signed Peruzzi example?

Delicate silver vermeil adjustable shank and an old amethyst "button" with a lotus flower carving come together in an understated, classically elegant combination...

Four figural links featuring classic Italian monuments and city symbols adorn this long, Renaissance Revival silver chain.

I will suggest that the central figure is maybe inspired by Verrocchio’s “Child and Dolphin”...
