Collection of Jewelry from I800's through mid 1900's
A special collection of jewelry, some of European descent, from
a New York Estate, has recently been offered to the public for
sale. Quite a few extroadinary pieces, especially for collectors
and researchers of the time frame are available. Body Copy:
Recently "Ice Originals II", a collectibles and antique website,
had the pleasure of acquiring a portion of a large New York
Estate that includes jewelry items from the 1800's through the
mid 1900's. Quite a few of the earlier pieces are of definite
European manufacture, as they feature the European style clasps
and hinges and definite European designs. There are some very
interesting pieces, that appear as if they could have historic
and research value, as well as the normal interest related to
collectors.
Several of the pieces feature hand chasing and enamel, inlaid
into the gold. Several are watch pins, as well as sash pins,
brooches, and some very nice cut steel and gold earrings. The
art deco and art nouveau movements are clearly represented as
well as some transition pieces. These jewelry items, each very
well designed and crafted, are true representations of the
jewelry of these early decades. The collection can be viewed at
"Ice Originals II" which is located at:

Anyone who is a serious collector, as well as anyone researching
this period of jewelry in encouraged to visit this website and
view these beautiful pieces. Along with all the items described,
there is also a collection of hand carved shell and hard stone
cameos, as well as cameo rings. Some of these pieces pre-date
the 1860's, and have been so carefully protected and stored that
they appear to be in nearly new condition! As said previously,
these items are part of a New York Estate, passed down though a
family, and only a portion of this beautiful collection has
recently been placed up for sale to the public. Other pieces not
for sale include an entire suite of mourning jewelry, made of
jet, that is just phenomenal, as well as several pre-1860 pieces
that are just perfect, in gold, and containing precious stones
such as diamonds and rubies. Many appear to be custom made
pieces and contain strong European influences, most likely
originating in the UK or surrounding areas. The owner of the
collection is not completely sure of all lineage of the family,
so any viewers of the pieces up for sale are welcomed to email
any input they may have on the items and their origins to the
owner of the website, as the collection owner is eager to learn
more about the items before they are sold. These pieces are
offered on consignment basis to the seller, so therefore, prices
are firm, although most are moderately priced, well within the
serious collectors price range.
Whether looking for that special gift for a special
lady,interested in Victorian, Art Nouveau, Art Deco and
Edwardian design, or doing research of the time frames indicated
this is definitely a visit worth your time!
