VICTORIAN 15 karat yellow gold and pearl boxed snake bangle with locket, with original box fitted for this bracelet, 6" by 1-1/3" at front with drop and 1/4" band. The heart open to a tiny secret locket, probably too small but for the tiniest of photos. This bracelet weighs about .48 ounces. Because it is 6" around the inside, it fits a wrist slightly smaller than that. The unusual original box adds to this lovely treasure and is perfect for displaying it. It has obviously been well cared for all it’s life. View View View View View #V34085 |

OLGA TRITT unsigned snake and apple parure probably inspired by Adam and Eve! Be sure check out how the the backs of these pieces are made and the great detail, 14-1/4" necklace with 3-1/4" front drop, bracelet 7" by 7/8", screw back earrings 7/8". According to the "palm Beach Daily News" in an article dated March 10, 1934, she had her own shop at 345 Worth Avenue "across from the Everglades Club". That article describes her crystal, diamond, precious stones and elephant hair jewelry for women and cufflinks for men. An ad in the same paper 12 days later promotes her "jewels of Individuality" and also states "great reductions on all my rare gems". This photo shown Jeanette MacDonald wearing Tritt jewelry: http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2101975040/nm0531776. A patent #161185 (118255) for Coro indicates in the references that she was making jewelry in 1949, and I have seen ads for her jewelry as late as 1971 (I think Olga’s daughter Alva Davidson ran the shop after Olga passed away), stating her shop address as 18 East 57th, then 569 Madison Avenue, and later 424 Park Avenue, New York City. So far, all the other jewelry she made seems to have been fine jewelry, not costume as this set is. She died in March 1968 in New York City at age 81. View View View #Y36286 |
