It’s been said “never put all your eggs in one basket”, but we think that does not apply here with this delightful Rhinestone basket with a pink Rhinestone bow and 5 delicious colored Easter Eggs—-(yes we know it’s too early for Easter) but we could not resist this small charmer. The pin measures about 2 x 1.25 inches with a silver tone back. This will make even the most “hard boiled” person smile !! 🙂

To quote my dear friend Eleanor McMillan, this brooch is an “Unsigned Piece…Orphan Of Beauty” Clive’s Unique Jewelry just purchased this 1940’s brooch at a recent flea market. The brooch has been well worn . There are scratches to the Vermeil coating and some of the foil is missing on the back of the aquamarine crystals and there are Rhinestones missing on the front…..BUT JUST LOOK AT THIS BROOCH……look at how well it was made. It has never lost its elegance, its creative design or its collectability . It was probably lying in some drawer in a cigar box all these years. Just imagine what this brooch has lived through and still survived. It could be the start of a great collection for you. The brooch measures 3 inches in length and about 2 inches at its widest point. Clive’s Unique Jewelry rescued this brooch, now lets find a permanent home for this elegant piece!

Clive’s Unique Jewelry private collection is pleased to offer this Crown Trifari signed pin and earring set with beautiful Aurora Borealis stones. The quality of the stones are amazing and reflect colors of orange, blue, green, and pink to name a few. Each stone is individually prong set and both the pin and earrings are signed. The earrings are clamp on and this set was probably created in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s. The pin measures 1.5 inches across and consists of a smaller single inner row of stones followed by a larger mid row and then a third outside row of small stones. The earrings are about 1 inch in length complimenting the pin in a matching cluster of stones. We classify this set as being pristine in condition. A classic is always in style !

We call this our North, South, East and West Pin…….why you ask, well no matter what direction you point it , this Mid Century Modernist pin still looks great. It’s a simple design of polished Gold tone finished tubes supporting a deep Emerald green four pronged Lucite stone. The pin measures about 2 inches square. This is one of those pieces we call a real eye catcher. We think this pin is not only unique, but has a solid quiet strength about it.
NOTE: This pin has a few very slight abrasion marks and soldering mfg. marks, but does not detract from its beauty considering it’s age.

Bees…..so very necessary to our very existence and what a great way to show their appreciation for what they do than with this Bumble Bee pin.

Also, if you loves Bees, then check out our earring section where you will also find a Bee or two. It’s a “honey” of a pin and deserves a nature’s lovers home !

The art of referencing and costume jewelry collecting has just been raised to an even higher level than ever before. Eleanor Sue McMillan has just published two enormous volumes on definitive costume jewelry and a third volume is in the works (” Unsigned Jewelry, Orphans of Beauty”). The photographs took our breath away and all of this jewelry has been elevated to a newer and higher art form. These are not “coffee table” books but vast informational guides to collecting costume jewelry. While drinking a cup of coffee, you can read about Eleanor’s life accomplishments…..a list as long as two arm lengths. Clive’s Unique Jewelry is pleased and proud to present these absolutely, positively must have two volumes for sale. We have taken a few quick photos on what’s inside to tease you a little bit. As Eleanor says…”It’s Jewelry To Live For” !!

Every once in awhile Clive brings out a unique piece from his private collection. This vintage Marcasite snake pin is one example. The pin is at least 50 years old and is adorned with European Marcasites. To the verso on the tail is marked Sterling 925. The pin measures about 7″ in length and there may be a missing Marcasite here or there but for its age it is in remarkable condition and it is very difficult to find a missing stone. We think it makes a very unique statement.

This young lady is just is racing down the slopes in her black & red ski outfit complete with swirling snow behind her. This young lady has had her share of bumps and bruises on the slopes judging by the scratched enamel black & red paint on her outfit. The detail is absolutely great complete with her blond hair flying in the breeze and that wonderful cherry red lipstick. The pin is very old, the brass needs some polishing, and the clasp needs repair or replacement…..but think of the fun you would have in restoring this pin to its original glory. The pin is 1 1/2″ in diameter, 1 1/2″ tall and the skis themselves are almost 2 1/2″ long. By next winter you and her could make a huge statement on the slopes.

Ah…..Springtime, when a young man’s fancy turns to thoughts of love…..and we have this precious moment captured in a very old , hand painted, Limoges/France signed Porcelain pin and earring set. We have seen different versions of this pin scene, but the matching screw back Porcelain earrings are a rarity. The set is in magnificent condition with all the gold plate showing around the scalloped edges. and the subjects clear and crisp. The earrings are just slightly larger than a 10 cent piece and the pin measures about one and one half inches in diameter or about the size of a Silver Dollar. Some describe the pin as a Limoge Mini Plate and the back has a “Trombone” workable clasp. Love is in the air, take advantage of it.

SomeThings Never Go Out Of Style- They Are Timeless
And so is this beautiful vintage Sterling Silver & Onyx pin & earring set. The back is signed TL-41 Mexico 925. The T means that the set was made in Taxco, Mexico and the L possibly means the initial of the designer although after lengthy research we could not find who the artist was. The style indicated that it was clearly from the 1970’s / 1980’s. This vintage set was worn and does show normal wear, however it does not detract from its beauty. So show the world you are as timeless as this statement set.
