An elegant vintage cocktail ring centered on a large oval rose quartz cabochon with a soft milky translucency. The stone is prong-set in a gold-tone mount and flanked on each shoulder by three sparkling clear rhinestones in a diagonal staircase arrangement, giving the ring a polished, dressed-up feel. The tapered shank is clean and classic. Size 5.

◆ Rose quartz is one of the most beloved semi-precious stones — known as the "stone of unconditional love," it has been used in jewelry for centuries and remains highly sought-after in vintage settings.

◆ The rhinestone shoulder accent in a staircase or diagonal arrangement is a signature design detail of mid-century cocktail jewelry, common in quality 1950s–1970s costume and semi-fine pieces.

◆ The combination of a large pale cabochon with clear sparkling side stones creates a sophisticated contrast that mimics fine jewelry — this ring photographs beautifully and wears as a true statement piece.

This style of chain was a staple of American costume jewelry throughout the 1970s and '80s, often manufactured in South Korea for domestic brands.

Jet-black faceted beads strung in a long continuous strand, punctuated at intervals by small crystal rhinestone rondelles that catch light like tiny constellations.

The set includes a carved MOP bar with an engraved botanical motif, a plain iridescent MOP bar in warm cream, a square MOP brooch with a clean unadorned face, and a slim silver-tone oval bar pin.

Description: A long, continuous strand of jet-black faceted glass beads — each one cut to catch and absorb light in equal measure, creating a strand that reads as both graphic and quietly luxurious.

A fully pavé-set rose bouquet — every surface of the stem, bud, leaves, and ribbon tie covered in closely set round rhinestones, with baguette-cut accents placed in the leaves for structural contrast. The scale and construction point clearly to the 1940s–50s, when large, all-over rhinestone floral brooches were produced at their most ambitious. The pot metal setting has the slightly oxidized warmth characteristic of the era, adding depth beneath the stones rather than competing with them. A serious piece of mid-century costume jewelry.

A generous spray of peacock-green aurora borealis rhinestones — teardrop and round cuts layered into a botanical cluster that radiates outward from the ear.

Set in warm gold tone that deepens the jewel-like quality of every stone. Bold in scale, luminous in effect.

Three cascading strands of prong-set clear rhinestones fall from a starburst rhinestone cluster — each strand terminating in a faceted square stone that catches and throws light with every movement. The dark rhodium-tone setting deepens the stones' sparkle, lending a cooler, more dramatic quality than gold-tone would allow. Screw-back closures date these to the mid-century, when this style of evening earring — architectural, luminous, unapologetically present — was worn to be noticed.

full-bloom rose on a thorned stem — the bloom itself built from finely crosshatched mesh that gives it a soft, textile-like depth, while the stem and leaves are cast in a smoother, matte gold tone for contrast.

A small arc of light—petals or feathers, depending on how you see it—opening around a single pearl.

This piece is part of Avon’s “Fan Fare” design, released in the mid-1970s. The marquise-shaped rhinestones form a soft, radiating fan, anchored by a luminous pearl set low and centered. The curve above it gives the whole piece a sense of motion—like something just beginning to unfold.

A small chunky C-hoop in solid lucite or resin — the silhouette is simple and the color does all the work. Each pair has the smooth, glassy finish and satisfying weight that separates vintage lucite from modern acrylic, and the colors have stayed vivid and clear.

Unsigned, as the majority of vintage lucite hoop earrings were.

A gold-tone open hoop strung with alternating textured gold beads and a single large cluster ball of faux seed pearls at center — the whole thing moving freely when worn, the pearl cluster catching light from every angle. The pearl ball has the dense, tactile quality of something that looks more expensive than it is, each tiny seed pearl packed tightly together into a satisfying sphere. Surgical steel posts make these genuinely wearable for sensitive ears. A considered, versatile earring from Avon's early 1990s push toward more sophisticated everyday jewelry.

Two figural elephants in warm gold tone, their bodies filled with swirled cream enamel and detailed with dotted blanket markings along the back — each one hanging from a small gold ball stud post. The trunks curve downward on each earring rather than up, a departure from the traditional good luck convention that makes these feel less superstitious and more sculptural. Avon released the Lucky Elephant in 1990 as part of a run of nature-inspired figural earrings, and the cream enamel colorway is the most sought-after of the series. A complete and wearable pair.

A white gardenia molded in raised relief against a deep forest green porcelain ground — the petals detailed enough to show their curl and overlap, the stem and leaves extending below in a single graceful line. The porcelain has the smooth, matte quality that separates it from pressed glass or resin, and the colors have held without fading. It sits in a gold-tone oval frame with a woven filigree border, a setting style common to quality porcelain brooch production of the 1960s and 1970s.

Marquise-shaped mother of pearl beads in a full spectrum of sun-bleached color — aqua, coral, tangerine, yellow, sage, and cream — strung in a continuous 48-inch rope with faceted champagne crystal spacers between each bead, the whole strand hand-knotted for security and drape. The iridescent surface of the shell catches light differently in each color, giving the necklace a warmth that reads as genuinely tropical without being literal about it. Long enough to wear as a single strand at opera length, doubled as a layered look, or knotted loosely at the collarbone. A generous, wearable piece that carries its era lightly.

A matched set in deep oxidized silver tone, each piece centered on a round green moonglow cabochon — that particular mid-century lucite with its milky, light-catching interior that shifts between jade and emerald depending on the angle. The pendant hangs from an open scrollwork frame and rides a fine chain; the earrings repeat the same scrollwork in miniature with screw backs. Moonglow cabochons were widely used in American costume jewelry throughout the 1950s and remain one of the most collected materials from the era — the color in this set is especially vivid and intact.

A resin cameo portrait sits at the center of an open filigree heart, the whole pendant edged in a continuous line of aurora borealis rhinestones that shift between pale blue and silver depending on the light.
