Dear Friends and Customers,
One Good Eye Silver is embarking on a big adventure as we prepare to move overseas. Though I am excited about our new beginning, I am also saddened for leaving after having spent almost thirty years in the US..
Until the move is completed, feel free to browse the site and email us with any questions you might have or to say “hi” but please do not try to purchase anything!
I am planning to re-configure the business and re-launch, from Europe this time, in the late Fall of 2024, if not earlier, and hope you will be patient and, once we are "live" again, honor us with your patronage.
Thank you very much for your trust all these years and for the thought-provoking conversations we have had - on jewelry, the history of personal adornment and life in general! See you again in a few months,
Margarita Poutouridou
One Good Eye Silver
A fabulous Italian Deco (if not a little earlier even!) silver charm / pendant in the Peruzzi style, this piece is big and opens up to reveal a hidden compartment. Usually referred to as "trunk" charms, similar “baubles” in the Etruscan style can be seen hanging off bracelets or worn with vintage chains as necklaces. I love the detail and profuse ornamentation of the "sphere" at hand with its row of red coral cabs adding a splash of color to the beautifully aged silver-work...
PS: In the last photo showing my Etruscan jewelry, you can see the charm as a necklace
Size / Weight: 1 1/8" drop (including the bail); 7/8" diameter; 12.4 grams
Hallmarks / Date: not signed for maker nor hallmarked for metal content yet tested and guaranteed to be silver of at least .800 purity; 1920s-40s
Condition: excellent vintage with impressive presence, gorgeous patina that has darkened the silver and makes the coral pop, with no damage and no repairs noted
