Pennino Classic Gold Tone Leaf with Faux Pearl Pin
This is a new costume jewelry piece by Halcyon Studios out of Montgomery, Alabama. It is marked Pennino LTD, and it
is called one of the Classic collections, created by Michael Whalton. It was created using the same old molds of the original
pieces done in the 40's. These classics were made in limited quanites and are rapidly disappearing! Each piece is hand made, using
the same traditions of it's predecessor, Adrian Scannavino of Pennino.
It measures 2" square and has a faux pearl in the center of the gold tone leaf.
The pearls are of old vintage with a wonderful coating.

Sterling Effie Calavaza Zuni Belt Buckle
This buckle is fairly new. It was produced in the last 10 years or so I imagine! Effie used turquoise from the Sleeping Beauty
Mine and is known for her snake design. I’m not sure when she started, but I know of pieces she did in the 70’s. All are handcrafted
by Effie, so no two buckles are the same. This has the two snakes and 7 pieces of Turquoise. Both her husband made jewelry and her daughter. Her daughter usually uses coral in her pieces.
It is signed on the back and in great condition. It measures 3 3/8” wide and 2 1/8” tall. This is a wonderful piece.

John Catalano Blue & Purple Rhinestone Set
WOW! What an eye popper! This set is very 3 dimensional and certainly shines. The pin is 4" tall and almost 3" wide.
It is set in silver tone metal with a depth of ¾". The purple and blue marquis & pear cut rhinestones are just fabulous.
The back has a brass plaque signed John L. Catalano, who is a newer designer. He is lovingly refered to as "The Eisenberg
man", because he does restore any and all old Eisenberg pieces! The earrings in this set are clip backs and measure ! ¼"
square.

Gregory Pyra's Sterling Coral Ring
This is a new designer, so this ring is new, though made to look like it is Art Nouveau style. It is done in Sterling and marked,
but has that antiqued silver look. The roses on top are hand carved coral. The ring is a size 6, and it is gorgeous on the hand.
Gregory Pyra was born in Warsaw, Poland, and moved to the US in 1981. In 1994, he opened a studio in New Jersey, and made his "leaf"
jewelry line. All pieces of this line were one of a kind. This ring was made between 1994 and 1996, according to Gabriel Pyra.
