Alice Caviness started her own apparel business and began making jewelry to accessorize her designs in the 1940's.  In 1943 she commissioned works from other factories and began importing jewelry from Europe to sell under her brand.  By 1949, she had offices from Manhattan to California to service their boutique customers.  She sold her business and retired in 1980.  She died in 1983, but the new owner still continued making her designs until he closed it in 2000.  This curled leaf pin is 1" x 2" and made with a gorgeous swirly filigree design.  It's made out of sterling silver and signed on the back STERLING GERMANY and ALICE CAVINESS.  The condition is very good.  The pin is preowned, so it is sold AS-IS.  Please look closely at all the pictures for condition information and details.  Feel free to ask any questions.


I recommend that you clean all jewelry before wearing.  Please be aware that your state sales tax will be added to your invoice.  This is done automatically by eBay.  I have no control over it, or the ability to remove it. 

The fine print:  All used or preowned items are sold AS-IS.  I buy most of my items from estate and private sales.  This is a preowned item, so please look at all the pictures carefully for further condition information and ask any questions before bidding.  I will try to answer them to the best of my ability.  I sell vintage, not new, so please take into consideration that your item may not look brand new.  Normally, I do not clean or polish my vintage items outside of a light dusting or damp wipe.  I'll leave that to your discretion.  Regarding jewelry:  I am not a jeweler, so my interpretations of stones are what I believe they are and should be considered for description purposes only and are not guaranteed.  Marked metals will be described as marked (gold, sterling, pewter, etc.).  Any items you see in the pictures used for display or size reference (coin, bill, etc.) are not included in the sale.  Please note that some color tones in the pictures may be a light reflection from my camera, my clothing, but more than likely, my bad photography. 

Checkout is through eBay and I only ship to the USA.  All measurements are approximate.  All sales are final unless I make an extreme error in my ad.  If there is a problem with an item that you have purchased from me, please let me know as soon as possible.  I am an honest seller and will always work with you to try to make things right.  Shipping prices are not refundable.  Please make sure you carefully read the auction description, ask your questions, and really want the item before you bid. This said, there are absolutely no returns on ?LOT? items, or anything stated "AS-IS".

I ask that you please make your payment within 2 days of auction end.  I reserve the right to relist my auction if payment is not made within 4 days of auction end.  Please note that eBay will automatically open an unpaid item case against all buyers that do not pay within those 4 days.  Notify me as soon as possible if you are bidding on some of my other items and want discount shipping (which I will) or can't pay within that time frame.  I will always combine shipping to save you money whenever possible if I can get all the items in one box.  I try extremely hard to ship within one business day of receiving payment.  I do not have a pet free home.

Thank you for looking.
