Continuing yesterday’s post highlighting some of the fabulous finds I spotted at US Antique Shows’ New York Antique Jewelry & Watch Show, these are the rest of the wonderful treasures I came across.
Neil Marrs had a beautifully curated booth full of sparkling curiosities, like this colorful crab brooch, stunning Egyptian-revival cuff bracelet and an edgy bangle bracelet by Marilyn Cooperman (my favorite of the three). The latter jewel would have been the perfect accessory for this year’s Met Gala and its “glam punk” theme!
Marilyn Cooperman bracelet
Very large and unusual, realistically designed as a crab, the polished yellow gold body set with approximately 21 carats of faceted fancy-colored sapphires (golden yellow, pale blue, candy pink) in various shapes, extending flexible articulated legs and claws, with sturdy double pin clip back and safety catch, probably Italian, circa 1980.

Perhaps one of the most adorable jewels I saw was at the booth of John Ullmann, whose collection of vanity cases and compacts was outstanding. This Art Deco vanity case picturing penguins with mother-of-pearl inlays was incredibly delightful!
At the next booth, Larengregor SA, I spotted a few rarities including a fantastic Hemmerle brooch and some Art Deco beauties as well.

Morelle Davidson showcased a beautiful Victorian cuff bracelet with an enormous, roughly 200-carat citrine.
From F & R Gros, I saw an incredibly rare and ornate Art Nouveau Fouquet sautoir necklace.
The endless signed jewels at J S Fearnley booth were quite mesmerizing, however I found that this particularly antique brooch caught my eye with its crystal clear old mine Colombian emerald.
Sadly, I can’t recall the booth where I saw the following Machine Age bracelets, but they were some of the coolest finds at the show!
Last, but not least, vintage engagement ring dealer extraordinaire, Excalibur, brought a many great jewelry pieces in addition to their rings, such as these wing-shaped pendant earrings and a large, colorful Van Cleef & Arpels brooch.
