This large (2 1/2 inch diameter; weight 31.7grams), early brooch is not pictured in Drucker, nor is it listed anywhere else which we can find on this World Wide Web. The reverse is marked and engraved as shown in our third enlargement. There are some minor scratches on the reverse, but the part that meets your eye is in excellent condition...

circa 1950,length 16 & 7.5 inches; weight 4.25 & 1.95 Troy ounces respectively, excellent condition and color, both clasps are tight and in good working order, no monogram, marked as shown in 3rd and 4th photos. We tend to have tunnel vision when it comes to Danish silver jewelry and focus only on Georg Jensen, but these pieces are of a similar or higher quality and quite pleasing to the eye. Einar's father Arent Dragsted was jeweler to the royal court of Denmark...

each square face 15 X 15 millimeters, or if you'd prefer 9/16 X 9/16 inches, weight .46 oz. Troy or 14.3 grams or if you're old school 9.2 dwt. Marked on reverse 18k and L in diamond as shown in second enlargement.

These are quite stylish and in wonderful condition. The posts are marked only 14k, which I suppose means they'd run out of 18k backs on the day that they were assembled, and made due with what was on hand.

length 7 3/8 inches, weight .71 oz. Troy, excellent condition with tight clasp and properly functioning safety.

We've bought and sold many Jensen bracelets over the years and are well aware of the insults which they often suffer, but this one is free of deep scratches, hasn't been excessively polished, and has a wonderful smokey gray color.

oval, 2 3/4 x 2 3/8 inches, weight .75 Troy ounces or if you'd prefer 23.2 grams, fine condition, marked "ZENUS 18K" (see second enlargement).

A solid, well-constructed and wearable piece of jewelry which is equally suited for every day or a special occasion.

Let's be optimistic and start off with the bull, which measures one inch long by 5/8 high, excluding pedestal. He is fully three dimensional and sports a pair of small (approximately 6 points each) but fully cut diamonds as befits such an enthusiastic fellow. The base is hand engraved with two stock symbols and prices: V 13 1/4, C 64, which no doubt had fond associations for the original owner...

"God save our gracious Queen, Long live our Noble Queen" and I'll spare you the rest. Just be grateful that we don't have MP-3 files jangling away in the background! Here, the Queen is applied in gold on a field of concentric circles to a pair of round sterling cufflinks just shy of 5/8 inches in diameter. No monogram, very good condition, maker's mark SJR, London 1952.

but unmarked, length 4 1/2 inches comprising veined leaf with cast applied beetle enwrapping five stems and flower buds, wires have come unsoldered in a few spots at lower "bundle" but fine overall condition, original clasp (see fourth photo).

five floral links with chrysoprase centers, length 6 3/4 inches excluding clasp, weight a generous 1.24 oz Troy, excellent condition.

We'd never heard of "Taylord", but bought this thinking for sure that the name would turn up in some tome as a small production Arts & Crafts silversmith. No such luck...
