	Graceful calla lilies lend this 2 ˝" wide by 1 7/8" long pin a quiet elegance. It is made of stamped STERLING, but is a bit more weighty than other stamped pieces that I've had. It is marked "Sterling" in two places, in embossed lettering, as well as an oval plaque that reads "Sterling Pat.-D 121373". This patent dates to July 1940, by V. Primavera, who founded the Danecraft Corporation. There is further information on the Primavera family and their sterling jewelry in Fred Rezazadeh's book, "Collectible Silver Jewelry Identification and Value Guide." All history aside, this is a very well made pin with a beautiful and timeless design. $89.00 Item#SV 0907-003

	Dainty but not to be overlooked, this lovely pin and earring combination is made of STERLING with prong set, black glass marquise cabochons and a delicate ruffled filigree surround. The pendant measures ž" long (1 1/8" including the bale) by ˝" wide and hangs on a fine, 15" Sterling chain. The screw back earrings are identical to the pendant in design and measurement. All pieces are in excellent condition and I would judge their age as no earlier than the 1980s. The pendant bears the mark "JF (conjoined letters) Sterling" while the earrings are marked "Bojar Sterling". I'm not familiar with either maker, nor if they were related, but these pieces are definitely a match. A little set that can still make a big impact. $38.00 Item#SV 1106-205
