The marking, "Germany" indicates the piece was made before World War II because afterward, it would have been marked, first "western Zone Germany, American Zone Germany, etc., and after that, "Western Germany, West Germany, etc. If it's marked "Germany" is pre-World War II. In 1946 or '47, when Germany was split, items made in either West or East Germany were marked "West Germany" or "German Democratic Republic" (that was East Germany, which was neither democratic nor a republic). Items simply marked "Germany" I would say are almost certain to be pre-WWII (unless they are new, of course, after the reunification). |

This is a great little sterling pillbox that has a slide for small pills to come out without opening up the top. There is an 'S' shaped silver piece to keep the pills separate inside. The little round box measures 1 3/8" diameter by 3/8" thick, and on the inside rim is marked 'Sterling Germany'. There is engine turning on the inside lid and bottom of the box partially covered with what appears to be a white finish, which has mostly worn off. I have left this in originally found condition.

Art Deco Sterling Marcasite and Emerald Brooch. I do not know if these are real Emerald's, I'm not a gemologist. The setting is marked Sterling Germany on the back. When you wear this pin, it appears perfect, but upon close up inspection you'll find there are three tiny emerald stones missing. There also seems to be something missing from just above the triangle dangle on either side of the piece. Maybe a loop was there with some other dangles I do not know. I just noticed it seems something was cut off from both sides. No this pin is not perfect, but it's German in origin, prior to the wall going up that divided Germany - East from West. This piece is spectacular in appearance. There are emerald cut and color channel set stones and 6 black stones as well. Various shaped Marcasites are set in through this adding the sparkle to the piece. This measures 2" x 1". This piece is worth putting money into so as to have those few stones replaced. The picture does not do this piece justice and I do believe you will really treasure and enjoy this period brooch!

PS659 Price: $82.00
I believe this to be German in origin...though it is unmarked. I've purchased this with other German items in a lot and also have seen this type of lightweight metal in other German made pieces. As to the age... I'm not sure. It was in with a 1950's Japan and German jewelry lot that I purchased. This set is a triple chain link choker and bracelet that looks as if it were never worn. Both pieces are comprised of three silver shiny links grouped and three textured links in a continuous pattern. The bracelet measures about 7-3/4" and the choker is adjustable to 18". The width of these pieces is 5/8". Really nice set.
S301 Price: $20.00
This is a wonderful set... the Earrings are American - Not German as the Necklace and Pin are. Seems to be a matched set...but don't worry...it matches near perfect! This set was my grandmother's and I know this was brought back from Germany in the early 1930's by my uncle Jack, who was a NY jeweler. The pin is incredibly made...and the Ivory Rose is screwed into the pin setting as is the necklace Ivory piece. Both pieces are marked Germany and Sterling. The pin measures 1-1/2" in diameter. The necklace is a choker length chain...of 17"...and the rose is only measures 1". Now, for the PIERCED earrings...these are set in GOLD (you don't see that part...it's to the ear. They are marked FB DBP AD on the earring back. These measure about the same size a the pendant. Click here to see another CLOSEUP of the pin and earrings. Also, here's the BACK of the set...so you can see how it's screwed together.
