Vintage 1960's New/Old Enameled FORK & SPOON Earrings on Card
Soup course first? Or salad? Gee, why not dive into the hot pie and have a spoon ready for the melted ice cream? Whatever your taste, these vintage enameled utensil earrings give you the option of having your cake and looking adorable too. The set includes one 2 ½" long light green fork and a 2 ½" vanilla cream spoon. Each has lightly stamped patterns at the edge of the handle and a gold-tone pierced wire top. The pair comes on the original plastic display card.
These fun and practical trinkets are part of a lot removed from a downtown Boston store in the 1960s and stored for 40 years (many pieces have their original sales tags). So, of course, the fashionable fork and spoon have never "left the drawer" and are in like-new, unworn condition.

Modernist NAVAJO T A GUERRO Sterling, Turquoise & Amethyst Ring
This striking sterling silver and genuine gemstone ring was designed by T A Guerro, a Native American silversmith. The Modernist style measures 1 ¼" high by about 7/8" wide at the open front—from the front, how the ring stays on is a mystery at first.. The bezel-set polished stones are turquoise with pronounced matrix and amethyst. The ring tapes slightly to about ¼" where the band meets the largest oval turquoise cabochon.
The ring is size 9 1/2 but can be adjusted to be larger thanks to the style. It is signed "T A Guerro, Sterling" on the inside; I believe the artist is Navajo. This dramatic ring is in very fine condition and will force many an admirer to reach for your hand for a closer look.
