Vintage Three-Stranded Simulated Pearl Necklace by Lotus

Jon Nix — Wed, 04 Jul 2018 10:25:27 +0000

A fine simulated pearl necklace dating from the 1950s/1960s made by Lotus and presented in its original tiered box. The necklace is 38cm (15in.) in length and comprises three gradated strands of simulated pearls finished with a decorative and ornate clasp with yellow-green stones. The back of the clasp is stamped "Lotus". The box is original and in reasonable condition, bar some slight "foxing" to the inner liner and some minor wear to outer edges and corners.

The simulated pearls are in good condition, but it should be expected that there will be minor grazing from age and use. The clasp and fittings are all robust and in good condition. This is a very fine example indeed and three-stranded versions are somewhat uncommon.

The box measures 26cm (10in.) by 9cm (3½in.) by 2.5cm (1in.).

John Pinches “True Love” pendant in 24ct Gold Finish and Solid Silver (1976)

Jon Nix — Tue, 20 Mar 2018 18:44:52 +0000

Made by jewellery designer John Pinches, this large vintage solid silver pendant with a beautiful 24ct gold finish commemorates Christmas and is one of 12 pendants with designs inspired by "The Twelve Days of Christmas". This particular pendant represents the first day of Christmas and features a beautiful engraved Partridge and Pear Tree on one side, and an excerpt from the carol on the other side: This being "My true love sent to me a partridge in a pear tree".

A great investment piece, gift for a loved one, or indeed as a very fine piece of jewellery to wear.

The pendant is a solid silver piece of jewellery weighing 26 grams. The pendant was not mass produced, being available only in 1976, and is therefore an excellent collector's piece. The chain is vintage, sterling silver, with a non-precious gold finish. The pendant has a full sterling silver assay office hallmark with date letter for 1976 and "JP" maker's stamp for John Pinches.

The pendant measures 3.8cm (1½ in) in diameter, with a 3mm (1/8th in) thickness. The curb chain has a length of 45cm (17 in). The box is original and although not perfect is nevertheless clean and tidy. The pendant has some minor marks, mostly on the reverse side, but nothing which detracts from the overall appearance and quality of the piece.

1950s Baby Bird Pin Brooch

This unusual little bird is made of light metal and is just shy of 3cm (1¼in) tall. He's got a good strong catch on the reverse and a glittery red eye on the front. "Made in West Germany" is stamped on the underside. We think he's a lovely little piece of silvery quirky birdy.

This little fellow, made in Silver Plate by Seba, dates from the 1950s and is a very cute addition to your collection and is a very functional piece.? The bunny features several options for storing your rings or necklaces and looks superb for its age.

4 brass metal fish toggles

Jon Nix — Sat, 22 Jul 2017 14:56:38 +0000

We freely admit to not knowing much about these, except that we LOVE them. They are certainly metal and they are certainly not new, but other than that, they are just what they are - very nice, little fish-shaped toggles. We also have silver coloured ones on offer. Each fish measures approximately 2.5 cm (1 inch) in length.

Art Nouveau Brooch

Jon Nix — Fri, 21 Jul 2017 22:39:17 +0000

We're unsure of the date of this particular brooch, but we were immediately won over by the hair detail and swirls, which is very Art Nouveau in style. The brooch has a roll pin attachment and is 1.5 inches across.
