SOLD VICTORIAN 18K GOLD & 4 DIAMONDS CAMEO |
Victorian Strawberry Blonde with Diamond Frame Cameo (tests positive for 18K gold) Item VC8428 Outstanding antique 1890s Victorian cameo of the gorgeous goddess, Flora. She is set in a unique, rich and lustrous 18K gold frame accented with 4 mine cut diamonds and a pendant bale (which was added some time later). Under the outer part of the frame is a beautiful gold twist giving it a rich braided look. Flora was a goddess with a very special gift. She had a flower that made women pregnant when they touched the flower.... oh if it was that easy. (*_*) You didn't have to put up with a husband and figuring out what time of the month it was or anything. The cameo with its frame (not including the bale) is 1 and 1/2" long by 1 and 1/8" wide. The cameo is a work of art. She is masterfully carved right at the juncture of the color change in the conch shell taking advantage of the 2 colors. She is carved in high relief with a showering of beautiful reddish-blonde flowers in her hair that match her strawberry blonde hair. The color continues into her pretty gown. A flower also decorates the shoulder of her gown. Her face is beautiful and she has an ivory complexion and sits against a porcelain looking background. The pin closes into a trombone clasp. Sassy suggests that it would be nice if the pendant was attached differently so that it could hide under the cameo when worn as a pendant. In fact, she feels so strongly about it, that if you want it changed, she will pick up the tab. The cameo appears to have been kept in a vault all these years. There are no chips or stress fractures visible to the naked eye. To say this cameo is drop dead gorgeous, would be putting it mildly. The carving is exquisite, the 18K gold frame incredible with real diamonds. Breathtaking and rare, it is a highly collectible antique. Excellent condition. Price $1200.00 SOLD |

ART NOUVEAU 1890s TO 1910 |
Art Nouveau Basse-taille Enameled Lily Brooch (not signed) Item VB7775 I can hear the eternal laughter and smell the gentle scent of her perfume upon the air every time I see the picture of her wearing it. It's that beautiful Art Nouveau brooch that evokes those romantic, nostalgic feelings. An oval frame with a center cutout is made profound with highly detailed basse-taille enameling (vocabulary) over brass. Circa early 1900s, white enamel with silky wavy lines is artistically displayed as tracings in curves, long lines and angles peer out with a golden glow. A lovely lily as bright as morning with a green enamel stem, aqua and white petals and a subtle light lemon yellow center has a realistic textured look. A second unopened bloom rises just above it for added delight. The brooch measures 2 and 3/4" long by 2 and 1/8" wide and has an old "C" type clasp. I cannot wait to be back in her arms and see her once again wearing that beautiful floral finery in all her glory. Become his dream come true. Excellent condition. Price $195.00 SOLD |

EARLY CELLULOID |
Art Deco Celluloid and Paste Cameo (not signed) Item VBC5822 One look at this incredible woman will let you know that this is no ordinary lady. She has all of the airs of a steadfast business belle that enjoys jewelry as much as managing the day-to-day affairs of the workplace. Made of celluloid, a sparkling paste stone earring decorates her ear and a faux diamond paste pendant dangles from her neck as a sign of her success. It's amazing how real these paste stones look compared to real diamonds! Her lovely locks fall in tight curls in the back and flows with flowers as the wind blows from the front. Is she watching the construction of her new headquarters? A hexagonal white metal frame captures this beauty and surrounds her with arcs and long lines typical of the Art Deco period. This powerful cameo measures 2" long by 1 and 9/16" wide. Female entrepreneurs of the 1920s had a rare talent and strength that women of today have inherited and this fabulous cameo will let you be both strong and feminine all at the same time. Excellent condition. Price $99.00

Victorian Rare Forget-Me-Not Sterling Bracelet (signed Sterling) Item VSBR8622 "Oh my! Cover your eyes! How could they possibly behave so scandalously?" Well, it's love my dear! And there's nothing quite like the feeling of that excited tingle in your tummy when you lean in for that first innocent kiss that brews into a life-long passion. This circa early 1900s Forget-Me-Not sterling bracelet brings back a time when romance was far from raunchy and still had a soul-stirring purity that brought blushes and nervous laughter with even a passing glance. Look at the very fine detail on each of these pretty floral bordered panels. She's a fashion princess with her haute couture below the knee skirt and him a dapper fellow with his top hat in hand. What a lovely couple. This handsome bracelet is sterling silver and has a rich patina. Sassy's staff polished it a little leaving just enough patina to enhance the design but it can be polished to be completely silvery and shiny without black. Let her know if you want it polished more. It is 7/8" wide and it will fit up to a 6 and 3/4" wrist. It closes with a solid link but otherwise hidden push clasp. Times have changed, but those exhilarating thrills of magical moments and stolen kisses will always remain the same. Excellent condition. Price $345.00 SOLD |

ART DECO FLAPPER CAMEO 1930s |
Art Deco Flapper Fashion Queen Cameo (signed 14K) Item VC7458 What makes the ideal woman? Classic cameo makers thought Greco-Roman goddesses were worthy women. I, on the other hand, think that those fabulous Flappers were the bee's knees and you will too once you take a gander at this glamour-filled circa 1930s Art Deco Flapper Cameo. An eager Flapper fashion queen wearing a wide brimmed hat and a risqué off the shoulder dress with two flower corsages is the focus of this exceptional piece, that represents fashion freedom! Carved in relief, she is a stunner! An ornate 14K gold frame surrounds our fashion conscious Flapper who is ever looking toward the next chance to get out and dance. It sits in a beautiful openwork frame... that is, there is an opening all the way around the cameo (which looks like dark enameling in my photo). This stunning cameo has a flip up bale so it can be worn as a pendant or a cameo. It measures 1 and 1/2" long by 1 and 3/16" wide. Pay tribute to the women that helped make stupendous style what it is today with a unique early cameo which was made back then for the now Sassiest of Sassy cameo collectors! Excellent condition. Price $825.00
