VICTORIAN CAST STERLING CAMEO BROOCH

Intriguing piece of jewelry.  It is shield shape, that is it is domed with a "thunbprint" indentation on the back (to save weight), but also, on the front the top and the bottom are rounded forward, so that seen from the side edge it  is a bit saucer shape.  Wonderful detail on the cameo, the warrior appear to be a female.  Thought to be from about 1880, at some point what was probably a simple-C clasp was converted to a locking c-clasp.   Sparklz expected to fine English hallmarks but it is simply marked sterling at the bottom; it may have been a tourist trinket for those great travelers of the era.  Antique estate jewelry in excellent condition,  2 1/4 inch.

ORNATE & INTRICATE  HOBE ROSE BRACELET - STERLING

Magnificent sterling BRACELET, meant to fit closely on the wrist, it is 7 inches long, and at the widest is 1 3/4 inches.  Intricate, many petal roses and rose buds are cupped in the large leaves.  Hand constructed, a look at the back will give you an idea of the workmanship used to make this wonder.  The brooch that arrived here with this bracelet was designed in 1944; the bracelet is probably the same era.   The hidden box clasp is marked Sterling Hobe in a triangle (used 1933-1957).  As contemporary & desirable now as it was then, the massive BRACELET is in excellent condition, has been lightly polished on the front, and tarnish has been left in place in the crevices and on the back.

HOBE STERLING BOUQUET BROOCH

Rose and ribbon bouquet BROOCH, about 3 inches.   The same brooch is shown in archives  as being designed in 1944.  The brooch shown in the patents, #138937 has a few colored rhinestones in place of some of the rose buds that cascade from the center, and in all other respects is exactly the same.   You can view the design patent as well as a brooch on the Morning Glory site, if you are interested in the history.    The applied round plaque on the back of this brooch is marked Hobe 1/20th 14K on Sterling, design pat'd.  It is my opinion that an incorrect plaque was soldered here, as there is NO evidence that this brooch was ever gold plated and normally there would be some evidence of that in the nooks and crannies.  In addition, the brooch came in with a similar bracelet clearly marked Sterling (only).  The bracelet is massive and will be added to this site in a few days.   The BROOCH is in excellent condition, has been lightly polished on the front, and tarnish has been left in place in the crevices and on the back.

SPLENDID, EARLY MEXICAN BRACELET FOR SMALLER WRIST!

Quality, hand made BRACELET, marked Mexico, D.F, and 0.850 (that's silver, just slightly less than sterling which is .925, having about 9% less silver) common usage of silver in the early days.   There are also undiciphered artisan's initials on the curve of the clasp.  The oblong, sectioned football shapes, are, I believe, in imitation of cowrie shells, which in antiquity were used as money in Mexico and the southwest.   Bracelet length is 6 15/16 inches x 1 3/8 inches.  Heavy duty metal, nevertheless, there are 3 or four shallow dings, barely noticeable.   A great piece for the price if it fits you.  Vintage estate jewelry, probably circa 1930s.  Send it back if you don't like it.
