Description & Details

Helen and Jim Barnes (formerly of Transitions) invite you to this estate sale. There is something for every buyer in this sale. From an important 1.24 carat diamond to a vintage timepieces; from mid-century sterling silver to hand made rings with lapis; from yellow gold rings (which we manufacture ourselves) to a turquoise and sterling BELT, you will find something you won't want to live without that will be worth the trip!

 

One standout piece is our 1.24 carat marquise diamond. Set in a 14 karat yellow gold ring with baguettes, the final closeout price is $3490.00, and worth it!

 

We have many pieces of gold jewelry in this sale. Some of these we have made ourselves (buy from the guy that made it!), and some of them have just arrived in an estate.

 

We have just acquired a great amount of sterling silver jewelry from an estate. This is solid sterling silver, and represents excellent value. It has all been cleaned and polished, and is ready for you to enjoy; even better, the price is right! We always have many sterling earrings that are a great value.

Twenty-four diamond yellow gold ring.Ruby and diamond earrings set in yellow gold. Black onyx and sterling silver ring. Sterling silver and marcasite heart and key pendant. Diamond and marquise amethyst ring in yellow gold.Pictured is a man's sterling silver ring set with a rectangular black onyx. We manufacture this ring by hand right here in Texas; we make it from injecting the wax model, to investing and casting the ring, to hand finishing and hand setting the stone ourselves. We ARE the manufacturer! The style of the ring has a very 1930's look. The ring is a nice weight; it weighs (with the stone) over 11 grams. The ring is made in a size 9.These two matching bangles were made in Mexico; they have an attractive rope design all the way around the bracelet. We note a weight for the pair of 12.9 grams, and they are made in sterling silver. These are vintage bracelets; we estimate that they were made circa 1960.This round sterling silver bangle bracelet has an interesting twist design. It is a vintage bracelet from an estate, and was made circa 1970. A very classic bracelet, it weighs over 14 grams – nearly a half ounce of sterling silver!Mid century pearl and enamel brooch and matching earrings.Set with 21 round diamonds, this ring has an estimated diamond weight of 3/8 of a carat. It is made in 10 karat yellow gold, and weighs 6.9 grams. These diamonds are brownish in color – the popular phrase is chocolate diamonds, but this ring was NOT made by LeVian. Still, it's a heavy weight piece with decent diamond weight in an impressive cluster design, circa 1990.This necklace measures 18 inches in length, and has a gold plated clasp. The pearls are imitation (the fancy word is faux), and may have never been worn. The strand is knotted between each pearl, and the stringing material (either nylon or silk) is not soiled and is in excellent condition. The pearls measure 8 millimeters in diameter. Vintage, circa 1990.Here is an interesting ladies' ring made in 14 karat yellow gold. Made about 1960, it came to us with a badly broken center stone. We furnished a new London blue topaz for the center, set it into the ring, and completely refinished it. There are two white stones on each side of the blue topaz which are not diamonds. Size six.Here is an interesting antique ring (circa 1910). When the ring came in from an estate, the original glass stone was badly damaged, and not usable. We furnished a new genuine amethyst (purple quartz), had our bench jeweler set it into the ring, and completely clean, polish and refinish the ring. Result: a genuine antique ring in superb condition with a brand new genuine stone center. Note the heart design on the shank. The amethyst center is an emerald cut. Ring size of 5. Beautiful white gold ring set with genuine rubies and white diamonds.Diamond and white gold ring.Pictured is a new one-of-a-kind ring that we recently made. Set in the center of the ring is one rectangular cushion genuine amethyst with checkerboard top, and with an exact weight of 5.22 carats. The amethyst has a fine dark purple (and desireable) color. The ring is also set with four fine quality baguette diamonds, and the entire ring is made in 18 karat yellow gold. Note the double prongs on the amethyst. Size six.Here is a classic design two-pearl ring. We make this ring ourselves. We make the wax model, cast it in 14k yellow gold, and then hand finish each piece right here in Texas. The final touch is to secure two fine cultured pearls in the ring. These are not freshwater pearls; they are Akoya (Sea of Japan) saltwater pearls. These are more expensive pearls, which invariably have finer color and luster. The pearls measure approximately 7.0 millimeters in diameter. The ring is made in a nice weight; we note a total weight with the pearls of 6.7 grams.Listed here is a yellow gold plated Wittnauer quartz watch. There are diamonds set in the bezel around the dial. The quartz movement is Swiss, and with the new battery just installed, it is in good running condition, and ready for someone special to enjoy. Please note especially the deployant buckle on the back – nicely done! Just in from an estate with very little wear; circa 1980.This is our medium flat dome ladies' ring made in 14 karat yellow gold. We make this ring, from the wax model, casting in molten gold, and finishing it ourselves here in Texas. It has a nice weight of 8.2 grams. Great design, good weight, great value. Size six.Here is a lovely pair of sterling silver J-hoop earrings. We make these earrings ourselves, from the wax model, to casting and finishing, all by hand, right here in Texas. As they are cast pieces, not lightweight stamped earrings, there is a nice weight to them (but not too much). An interesting feature about these earrings is that there is a right hand earring and a left hand earring; note the way the fluting is done.Mid century spiral candlesticks.Silverplate serving piece.Silverplate candle holder.Silverplate serving dish-several pieces.Sterling candlestick holders.Silverplate serving dish-multiple pieces.Silverplate serving dish-glass insert.Sterling mustard dish with cobalt blue glass insert.
