This is quite Unusual! The center stone is a semi-precious Amethyst Geode Nuggett, with several pointed crystal formations. The color ranges from deep purple to a light lavender. The setting it rests in is goldtone with branches that look like coral. They are very detailed and textured. There are also branches of silvertone "leaves" that are pasteset with graduated rhinestone clear rounds. This is a very three dimensional pieces- hard to capture in a picture! Shows pinpoint spots of wear on the highest goldtone branches, otherwise in Excellent Condition. Signed PANETTA and a copyright symbol on the back. Back(click here)

This is a Wonderful Basket of Flowers! Measuring 2" by 1 7/8", this like new basket brooch is silvertone, has little rhinestone clears paste set into the basket and among the flowers. The flower centers are 6mm white faux pearls. The flowers and the basket handle are not flat- giving dimension to the piece. The darker color on the silver is glare from the scanner.

This pretty blue brooch reminds me of the Caribbean- the center stone is such a lovely aqua blue! It is openbacked and unfoiled. The other rhinestones are all a light blue and brilliant! All are prongset into goldtone which does show some wear. I think this may be an older Regency piece given the construction. Back(click here) Measuring 2 1/4" by 2" and 3 dimensional- signed REGENCY inside an oval plaque on the back. In Very Nice condition!

This is sure unusual! Even the designer marking is different! Signed on the back inside an applied plaque- SPHINX & PYRAMIDS EGYPT and then Coro. Measuring 2 1/2" by 1 1/2" and cast in a heavy metal- feels like sterling, but not marked as such. I have left the tarnishing just in case it is! It is an artist depiction of the Giza pyramids- with the sphinx design incorporated. The detailing is very nice and it is in excellent condition.
