Any individual who loves, wears or collects costume jewelry must have absolutely, positively without question an Eisenberg pin/brooch/ fur clip in their collection. Eisenberg Mfg. Co. originally produced clothing and soon embellished their clothing with dazzling jewelry primarily using Austrian crystals. The early pieces were signed “Eisenberg Original” and referred to the clothing not the jewelry. After a while, the jewelry became the trademark not the clothing and has been told. The item presented here is a beautiful example of a 1940’s signed Eisenberg Original Hallmark stamped brooch. The Austrian clear white crystals are all original and nothing has been replaced and it has been beautifully preserved. This brooch measures about 3″ in height X 2″ at its widest point. If you are an absolute, positive individual, then this Eisenberg Original is for you. Remember, Clive says jewelry should be as unique as you are !
Surfacing from Clive’s private collection is this rare Lawrence Vrba signed floral brooch with a special made to order matching earrings. This rare set appears in pink in Eleanore McMillan’s difinitive book Volume 1 Icons Of Costume Jewelry (page 139). Vrba’s designs are nationally and internationally known for their unbelievable uniqueness and creativity. This three dimensional floral design measures 5″ in height and 3 1/2″ at its widest point. The understated button style earrings measure about 1″ in diameter. The set consists of sparkling blue and white crystals accented with moon glow blue/white thermoplastic stones. To the verso, the brooch as two metal stamps. One Marked Lawrence Vrba and the other Made In The USA. This rare magnificent set would make a high point to your costume jewelry collection.
We can definitely say “Hooray For Hollywood” with this lovely 1940’s Eugene Joseff Of Hollywood scroll design brooch with oval Topaz crystal center stone. Eugene Joseff was jeweler to the stars during the 1920’s to 1940’s. This is a typical example of his superb quality and design. The brooch measures about 3″ tall x 2 1/8″ at its widest point. The front is a gold color matte finish and polished gold color and also stamped Joseff Hollywood to the verso. The brooch is in remarkable condition but shows some slight wear consistent with its age as but almost negligible to the eye. Make a star studded statement to your jewelry collection.
Once in a while something rare comes along and whether you are a holiday brooch wearer or a serious all year around collector, please don’t miss this purchasing opportunity. You are looking at a Lawrence Vrba signed o. o. a .k. (one of a kind) Christmas Tree combo brooch/ pendant which is part of a series. Clive’s Unique Jewelry is proud to present this brooch from his private collection. Vrba’s talents and history are too numerous to mention here and I suggest you research his name on your computer.
The brooch measures about 5 ” Tall and about 3″ at its widest point. The brooch exhibits two dimensional 3 glowing candles of teardrop crystals to represent flames with white Rhinestone Baguettes for the candle base. The tree is adorned with aqua crystals all accented with grey Rhinestones and a pavé white Rhinestone star atop the tree. The base includes clear Rhinestone crystals and small white Rhinestones as well. It is signed Lawrence VRBA to the verso. The majority of the stones are prong set or bezel set as is the case of the aqua stones. Please check out the other VRBA jewelry on my website as well. They truly make a spectacular statement and a collectors dream.
If ever there was a perfect time and place to present this brooch it is now. Take a look at this Heidi Daus signed brooch with a Dove clutching an olive branch with wings and Olive branch accented with faceted Rhinestones. The Dove measures 4 1/2 ” wide and total height about 3 1/2″. What a great way to express your desire for peace in this turbulent world.
“Guilloche Enamel is a form of enamel work, achieved by working the metal on an engine-turned lathe to form a pattern before enameling over the pattern.” On a recent trip to Hawaii several years ago the Hibiscus flower was in bloom everywhere and the colors were as varied as the flowers themselves. No wonder it is Hawaii’s state flower. This orange/red Hibiscus vintage brooch presented in Guilloche Enamel and bezel set in random crystals reminded us of that beautiful flower. The brooch measures about 4 1/2inches tall by 3 inches at its widest point layered on a gold color matted finish. Check out a Hawaiian Airlines image !
Yes, you read that right…..splooting refers to the position that Frogs commonly exhibit and is a common position for dogs as well. This charming Frog is adorned with blue, green and white Rhinestones and measures about 3 inches x 3 inches . Who knows, anything can happen and this sparkling beauty may turn into a handsome Prince one day……!

” My Philosophy Is Not Only Should Jewelry Be Well Made, But Be As Exciting As The People Who Wear It ” Darla Ellickson.
Darla Ellickson a world renowned mid western jewelry artisan has created this magnificent brutalist Sterling Silver creation reminiscent of mid century modern era style. This pin was probably made in the 1970’s or 80’s and is signed to the verso “Darla LXN ) but no date as far as we can see. The pin does have some slight age marks consistent with wear & use but nothing to detract from its beauty or value. Rarely do we find a piece of jewelry that is as exciting to the eye as this creation.
