CRAFT LIONS HEAD Full description below photos This amazing piece of art was designed and created by Gene Verri (Verrecchia) (better know as the head designer for Coro for 30 years, creating some of their best known and most beloved designs.) who started CRAFT in 1945 as GEM-CRAFT. This beauty is a magnificent lions head with a flowing mane all encrusted in dazzling clear rhinestones. (The portion where the rhinestones are set is silver plate, while the rest is gold plate, giving it much more dazzle!) It is a very multi dimensional design. The face is polished gold plate, while the mane is textured. It measures 2 1/2" x 2 1/2". There is no wear to the color plate (any dark or mis-colored spots you see are just reflections in the pictures) and no missing, dull or dead stones. Excellent condition and a real sight to behold! Thanks for checking out my auctions! PLEASE NOTE.. I know it's a bit, but PLEASE read the following terms! I am happy to combine all wins within a 7 day period. If you win an auction and are still bidding on something that ends in the next 7 days.... PLEASE EMAIL ME to let me know. Please keep in mind I start all my auctions at a very low opening bid to make sure you, the bidder, sets the value of the item. This low opening price in no way reflects the value, quality or authenticity of my items. Please remember that most every item I sell is old and/or vintage.... which means USED! There is always going to be normal use wear or age spots in some of the stones/rhinestones.... this is considered NORMAL wear. I do the best to describe any major visible wear to the item, but if you have to look through a loupe and still have trouble seeing it, I might not mention it, or I might have missed it. Please don't expect to send an item back for NORMAL AGE WEAR! International bidders will be responsible for any and all taxes, duties, or tariffs that are charged. I will not falsify values, or claim the item is a gift, so please do not ask. All international wins over $50.00 require mandatory PRIORITY shipping PLUS Insurance. If the item sells for over $100.00 TRACKING is REQUIRED! (it can be expensive too, so please check on this if it is a concern). These are the conditions I set to protect both of us. There will be NO EXCEPTIONS. QUESTIONS/RETURNS I will be happy to answer any questions concerning my auction items. However, I may not answer or reply to any question that is ALREADY answered in the text. Please read all of it thoroughly. I will not reveal reserves or end auctions early. Please examine ALL the photos closely as they are the best representation of the item and its condition, and please read the text before placing your bid. Also, check the bottom of the page to see if any additional information has been added. I take many close up pictures so you can see details of the jewelry you are bidding on. Some items may appear larger in the pictures then they really are. Please email me with questions you may have. Vintage Jewelry is just that. Previously owned and loved. Please expect normal age appropriate wear. By nature, vintage jewelry is not perfect and I will always describe something that is beyond normal in my opinion. Some pieces may need a light cleaning or polish. Sold as is. My goal is 5 star service. If I have unintentionally made a mistake in my description, please let me know with-in 48 hours of receiving your package and I will work with you toward a resolution. Thank you and PLEASE LOOK AT ALL PICTURES CAREFULLY TO DETERMINE CONDITION AND VALUE. ALL MY ITEMS COME FROM A SMOKE FREE ENVIROMENT! Vintage, antique, or second hand jewelry may show some wear and this is part of its overall charm. All listed items will be Wearable and in Good Condition unless stated otherwise. Any necessary cleaning and polishing will be left to the new owner as some collectors prefer the patina of age and also due to the risk of possible damage. See my other listings for more great items! Payments for winning auctions are due within 3 calender days from a... read more
