| This fantastic pair of stud earrings is a set I had bought at an estate sale over 30 years ago in Calif. I had just forgotten all about them , as they have been in a box stored away.......... Oh well ! They are in remarkable shape , almost as new, which if it were not for the patina showing only on the back, it would seem odd. Here we go, about 1-3/8'' in diameter. Copper with little beads on the outer rim. The Thunder-Bird which is of the Navajo Native American design is copper with a blue enamel rug weave painted onto them , along with the eye. Then a little reddish brown paint used over the copper areas randomly placed, and then clear put over the entire surface, other then the very outer rim. Studs of course, and unfortunately no markings of any kind, which is not unusual for true pieces of this age. C.O.A. included with these must unusual and beautiful earrings in near mint condition Item ID: kk-356 |
| This is a new and very exciting find. It is an Old Bell Item made back in the 60's or very early 70's . It is a solid Copper Chain which is about 11'' long. The main body of the overall pendant is about 1-3/4'' in diameter with the Turquoise Cab (stabilized I'm sure) being about 1-1/2'' in diameter , featuring The Kachina which is made of copper and stands about 1'' tall and about 1'' wide. Has a little amount of patina, which myself would leave as it adds character and the chain also. Marked on the back "Solid Copper" and the Old Bell Trading Post logo. I buy all the Old Bell I can find, but have never even seen or heard of anything like this one before. No collection should be without this one. |
| This beautiful set of Earrings and Bracelet are sure to be the hit of the party. They are from about the 60,s and were sold on old Route 66 to the tourists in the 50's and 60's. The only markings are the stamp Copper which is on the clasp. The bracelet is about 7-1/2'' long from where the clasp will lock it. The individual links are about 3/4'' in diameter not counting the ends where the small links connect the pieces together. The earrings feature the same main piece which in the case of the earrings , they are slightly larger then the bracelet pieces each being about 1'' x 7/8'' not counting the feathers which are all about 1/8'' wide by about 1'' long total. This is a great vintage copper set and a truly remarkable find. The earrings are studs of course. Thanks for your interest kk-368 |
| This is a vintage set of Native American Earrings, screw-back, made about the thirties through the early fifties. They are about 3/4'' in diameter and loaded with patina. Which, by the way I will allow you to decide on whether to remove or leave. They are in excellent overall condition, although there are surface marks over the face of them. Thanks for your interest in these fantastic old Native American Screw-Back Earrings. Item ID: kk-405 |
| This is a very very old pair of Solid Copper Earrings with clip-on fittings on the rear. They are from most likely about the late 30's to late 40's and show it. About 1'' in diameter. Featuring the Thunderbird, which is a symbol the Navajo use very often and have been for longer the most of us have been on this earth. Not marked in anyway, but not at all unusual as not many things made by Native Americans were. This great old set of earrings has all of the original patina, a feature, that I will allow you do decide whether to remove or leave. A lot of minor surface scratches, as if they were kept loose in a large box full of other old jewelry. Fantastic character. Thanks for your interest Item ID#kk-381 |

| This is a very nice find, which is about as mint as it can get. It was kept put up in a drawer all of these years and looks to be never worn or maybe only once or twice. The Thunderbird pendant is about 1-3/4'' tall counting the bail and is about 1-1/2'' wide. The main pendant looks as new , including the painted area. It is marked Solid Copper and the logo for the Old Bell trading Post. Chain is solid copper and double stranded, however does show some ageing, which could stand a cleaning. Chain is continues and is about 29'' long overall. This is a great addition to my Bell Collection |
