Hey, this is great!  Citrine definitely makes sense.  My Grandma told me it was topaz - there's a topaz of that color called 'Imperial Topaz', but either fit.  I suppose a jeweler could really tell me.

Antique Questions Forum / H.Stern Topaz Bracelet

« on: September 27, 2011, 06:43:28 pm »

This was my Great Grandma's - I'm not sure how 'antique' it would be considered, but I've not been able to find any info online.  It came in an H.Stern box, which I believe is the original.
There are 6 stones which I'm told are topaz.  They're about .5" by .25" rectangular.  The rest is rose gold.  There are some intricate cut outs in the stone settings.
It's in good condition, save for a small missing piece for the clasp.
Any thoughts?

Awesome!!! Definitely very much like that, if not the same. I guess that it's not really art nouveau, but it certainly is cool.  Thanks for all your help!

Agh!  I knew I should have gotten a picture of it - I figured I could find at least one example of it online but there's nothing (which is weird to me)!  I will get a picture of it in the next few days.

Antique Questions Forum / Info on CAMEL cigarettes lamp

« on: September 17, 2011, 05:57:20 pm »

I am hoping to get some information on a Camel cigarette table lamp that I recently saw - less about the value but more about the style and origin.
The lamp is basically a large brass (looking) woman's hand (left) - maybe about 24" high at the most - and the lighted part is a large cigarette in between the first two fingers.  The CAMEL wording/emblem is shown across the the base/wrist of the hand.
It looks to me that the style was very much art nouveau, but I can't find any information about Camel cigarette lamps anywhere.
Does anyone have any thoughts or info?

Thanks!!
