A long stamped brass triangle carries Art Nouveau scrolls and an open heart, framed between banded pink stones above and a trio of stone drops below. They date from the late Victorian era into the 1910s, when Bohemian-style metalwork and natural stones were prized for their quiet, earthy romance. A century of wear has mellowed the brass to a soft patina that sets off the stones’ rose-and-cream banding. They’re long and fluid, swaying past the jaw on new wire hooks.

Materials:
Brass, genuine pink stone

Details:

• Era: Late Victorian to 1910s
• Style/design notes: Stamped brass chandelier panel with an Art Nouveau heart and scroll motif; three-strand stone fringe with brass spacer beads
• Stone or material notes: Genuine pink stone beads with rose and cream banding

• Color: Brass, pink
• Condition: Good antique condition, with natural brass patina, darker oxidation on the back of one panel, and light residue in the stamped recesses. The ear wires are new replacements.

Description:
An arched frame of gold leaves and beaded scrolls opens around a central rosette, with three dotted teardrops swaying below.

Each drop moves on its own ring, so the earrings catch light gently as you move. They’re airy for their size and hang from slim wire hooks.

A pair of slim tapered bars opens into a notched chevron plate edged in raised dots, and from it hangs a full fringe of tiny daggers.

Two hand-formed sterling leaves, stamped with rows of dots and fine lines like the ribs of a seed pod, each swing a slender wire stem finished with a baroque freshwater pearl and a coiled tendril. The pair comes from the studio of Susan Roggio, an American artisan known for organic, hand-wrought silver in the 1980s studio jewelry movement.

Description
A ribbed scallop shell rests at the lobe, and a scalloped door knocker hoop swings below it like a small piece of the tide. Shell motifs and door knocker drops were both signatures of 1980s costume jewelry, and this pair brings the two together in warm gold tone. The scale is bold enough to stand on its own with a simple neckline, and light enough for everyday wear. Wear them for coastal summers, or as a sculptural accent through the cooler months.

Materials
Gold-tone base metal, silver-tone butterfly backs

Description:
A pearl stud, a violet cabochon wrapped in ribbons of gold, then a full round pearl swaying at the end. Three tiers move independently, like water and light passing through. This mix of romantic pearls with a jewel-toned center is classic 1980s, when evening drama came in soft layers. The wrapped settings catch the light from every angle, and the drop sits close enough to wear through the day.
