| MARY KRETSINGER CARVED IVORY CRICKET CAGE WITH 18K GOLD FINDINGS AND 18K GOLD & ENAMEL CRICKET | |||||||||||||

This piece has a charming surprise inside. When you wear this pendant, you
will be the keeper of a tiny 18K gold cricket with legs that really move
and green enameled wings; pendant is an antique carved ivory
container--perhaps originally for a cricket or scent bottle--I'm not
sure; ivory "cage" is about 3-1/4" long with 18K gold bail, hinge and
catch; cricket is about 1-1/2" long; all is in excellent condition. $1,350.00 (item #K04) |

This is one of my favorites--an ingenious combination of modern design
and the antique; 18K gold pin with textured sterling silver "leaf",
antique carved ivory rose and pendant with a beautiful white stone--not
sure what it is--clear with some pinks and blues when held to the
light--also concentric circles and hair-like inclusions; about 2-1/2"
wide x 2-1/4" tall; trombone catch; excellent condition. SOLD (item #K05) ______________________________________________________________________ |
