It's always nice to find a piece of Shiebler or Tiffany silver jewelry but sometimes unsigned pieces can be just as interesting. Here are a few of my favorite unsigned Victorian jewelry items.

This 1880s bracelet has a wonderful design incorporating dragonflies, hummingbirds, butterflies, and plants. Shiebler produced similar designs. The quality is pretty good.
-----

This huge brooch is one of my favorites because of the fine quality and detail. It is a very 3D duck's head, with a glass eye. It is gilt, and has a flat backing. Unmarked.
-----

I bought this piece because of the fly design. It is a small perfume bottle with a faux hammered finish and an applied fly on both sides. It is only marked STERLING. The quality is ok, although the cap is a little cheesy.
-----

This watch fob dates to about 1900. It has three Northwind face designs. The design is similar to Unger pieces, but the quality is actually much better than most Unger jewelry. This is marked STERLING on an applied disc on the back.
-----
I hope others will post pictures of their favorite unsigned jewelry!
