405J228	Sarah Coventry Deco Style Link Necklace	Here is a fascinating gold colored necklace made of alternating ovoid and chair leg shaped metal links. There are round balls in the centers of the ovals and on the bottoms of the other links. It seems rather Egyptian, perhaps, and I also think it has a very tribal look to it. The oval links resemble African shields and the alternating links could be thought of as African drums on stands. It can be whatever you want it to be! There is a richly textured chain on the ends. The end piece is signed "SC" on one side and "Sarah Cov." on the other. The necklace is collar length -- it is 17 1/2 inches long and rests on the collar bone. The hook will slip through any chain link or over the hallmarked end piece so you can adjust it slightly. The links are approximately 7/8 inch long. On the backs of the links is a pleasing texture like orange peel. There is a nice weight to the necklace and it is very well made. This is vintage 1960's jewelry. U.S. shipping is included in the price. MORE INFORMATION		US$54.00
409J353	Vintage Simulated Ruby Drop Necklace	This gorgeous necklace is made of very high quality gold toned metal and simulated ruby stones. Absolutely stunning! There are 9 faux rubies attached to the chain -- the ones on the ends in simple settings (2), and 7 in the beautiful ornamental setting characteristic of this necklace. The five center settings have settings attached to form symmetrical drops in a bib shape. When this necklace is turned over, the metal is as beautiful on the back as it is on the front. The necklace was made circa 1925-50. The chain is strong and very well made. There is a pretty design embossed on the metal clasp of the chain. U.S. shipping is included in the price. MORE INFORMATION		US$319.00
408J358	Monet Extra-Long Chain with Celtic Knots	This is a nicely made silver colored chain with silver colored metal discs shaped like simple Celtic knots, spaced every 7 1/2 inches of the chain's length. The total length of the chain is 56 inches -- sufficient for a nice length after doubling -- or wearing single for the Flapper look. You can also knot it or wear it as a belt.The chain is marked Monet on a metal tag beside the standard loop clasp, and it was made in the late 1960s-early 1970s. U.S. shipping is included in the price. MORE INFORMATION		US$21.00
403J031	Berebi Dancing Pink Elephant Earrings	They are two-piece pink elephants with heads that go in front of your ears and the earring backs are the bodies of the elephants -- so they dance whenever the backs swivel! They are made of gold colored metal with frosty pink enamel cloisonne. Each earring is approximately 1 inch long. The two elephants are a little different -- sort of like mirror images of each other. And one elephant has only one eye because the enamel was applied thickly and covered up the eye dot. They are signed on the back but it is very faint. It looks like "Berebi." And these do look like the style of Edgar Berebi. These earrings are in great condition with no damage. (There are red reflections from my shirt in some photos.) U.S. shipping is included in the price. MORE INFORMATION		US$35.00
