Item # CHNEXKNBRQNK6 $195.00
Vintage Chinese Export Rose Quartz Knuckle Bone Bead Necklace: I am so pleased to offer this vintage Chinese export necklace! The graduated beads are translucent rose quartz in a soft pink color. The beads are hard to find "knuckle bone" shapes, the largest measuring 1" across and 1/2" wide. The beads graduate down to 1/2" long at the clasp, with hand knotting for added security between each bead. The necklace measures 38" long. The filigree push in clasp is quite secure and marked SILVER.  The beads are in superb condition with no chips or cracks. Please note that this is a heavy necklace.
Item # STRAMSCRLEAFBR5 $72.00
Vintage Sterling Silver Amethyst Leaf Brooch: A beautifully crafted brooch in sterling silver, the design features two leaves flanking a 9x7 mm. oval medium purple faceted amethyst set securely in a raised bezel.  The stylized leaves are accented with curls of silver, the amethyst is accented with "raindrops" and yet more curled silver.  The design origin is a hard one to call, so I am not attributing this piece. I will say it is simply stunning and well made.  Unsigned and unmarked, it acid tests as sterling silver.  The brooch measures 2 5/8 by 5/8".
Item # CHEXMGEMSBR5 $82.00
Vintage Chinese Export Silver Multi Gemstone Brooch: This vintage 1930's Chinese export brooch is crafted in 800 silver and set with an eye catching bevy of small polished gemstones, all prong set.  I have not identified all the stones, but the array includes pink quartz, turquoise, pink tourmaline, jade, aventurine and others.  Yes some of the beads do have holes. This is because the Chinese craftsmen reused everything, and these pieces were commonly made with beads left over from other projects. Nothing was wasted. The brooch measures 1 5/8" across and is marked SILVER CHINA.  These pieces were usually made in 800 silver.

The earrings are framed in  gold plated "braided" metal. The earrings are quite large for Swoboda, usually their earrings are small and dainty.   The top jade disk is 3/4" across and the bottom disk is just a hair under 1 1/2".  The earrings drop a total length of 2 1/2" and the clips are nice and secure.  There are a few tiny fleabites on the inside edge of one crescent disk, barely noticeable but mentioned for accuracy.  The earrings are signed Swoboda on the back of each clip.
Item # FJBNKLGJCL5 $599.00
Genuine Lapis Faceted Jade 14K and Chinese Cloisonne Necklace: I created this one of a kind necklace from natural untreated lapis lazuli set off with faceted British Columbian jade and 14k gold beads and clasp.  The lapis is a deep rich blue with gold flecks, the larger beads are 10mm and the smaller 8mm.  This is old stock lapis and has been tested to verify it is untreated. The faceted jade beads also measure 8mm and the gold beads 5mm.  The pendant is a vintage Chinese cloisonne pendant, elegantly shaped and enameled with two cranes flying over a lake.  The enamel work is in excellent condition, the pendant measures 2 3/4 by 2". The enamel work is on brass.  The pendant has some weight, so the necklace is strung on a double strand of silk with triple knotting.  The 14k pearl clasp features a double heart motif in filigree.  The necklace measures 25" long.  I am extremely pleased with the look of this necklace and hope you will be too!

Vintage Chinese Export Carved Carnelian Agate Lotus Flower Silver Vermeil Brooch: This lovely vintage Chinese export brooch is crafted in silver vermeil.  The center stone is a beautifully carved carnelian agate lotus flower motif.  The back of the brooch is delicate filigree wire work.  It appears at some time the original clasp was stabilized, and this was well done.  The brooch has a tube hinge and c-clasp closure. The brooch does test as silver, most likely 800 silver as was commonly used on the early pieces.  The lovely beaded edge frames the center stone beautifully.  The brooch measures 1 3/4 by 1 1/4" and is unsigned.
Item # STRANWKERRRGP $279.00
Antique William Kerr Art Nouveau Sterling Gilded Griffins and Rhodolite Garnet Pendant: This amazing art nouveau sterling silver pendant from renowned New Jersey silversmith William Kerr started life as a belt buckle.  A rare design, this repousse' piece features extremely detailed gilded griffins.  The ornate pendant is embellished with three sparkling raspberry rhodalite garnets.   Both the gilding and gemstone accents are unusual for his pieces.  This pendant started life as a buckle, but along the way was converted to a pendant.         I have worn this to rare reviews.  I don't believe the bale is sterling, but I feel this piece deserves a more ornate bale anyway.  The pendant measures 2 by 1 3/4".  It is signed with the hatchet mark of William Kerr, sterling, and the inventory number 368.
