199‑Lot Antique and Estate Jewelry Auction Spotlights Signed Vintage and Navajo Turquoise
A 199-lot online auction on Bidspirit on Feb 17 featured signed vintage Taxco and Hamilton lots alongside Navajo-style sterling turquoise pieces, including a signed turquoise ring that sold for $60.
The Bidspirit online Antique & Estate Jewelry auction of 199 lots, consigned “from all local estates” and offered “all fresh to the market for the first time,” opened pre-bidding on January 21 and ran as a live online sale on February 17 at 6pm EST. The house positioned the sale around signed vintage makers and Navajo-style sterling turquoise pieces, and the listing emphasized those categories in multiple lot titles.
Sale results in the platform excerpt show modest hammer figures across eclectic consignments. Lot 34, listed as "Vintage Sterling Silver Navajo Style Turquoise Statement Ring Signed. ...," sold for $60; Lot 47, "Vintage Style Navajo Turquoise and Black Stone Money Clip ...," sold for $70; Lot 30, "1.83 ozt Vtg Taxco Sterling Silver Hinged Bangle Bracelet with ...," sold for $120; Lot 32, "10K Gold Filled Vintage Hamilton Thinline Gents Wristwatch Head ...," sold for $120; Lot 31, a "Large Collection of Vintage Rhinestone Costume Jewelry," sold for $145; Lot 45, "Vintage Chinese Export Silver Ornamental Clip with Banded Agate ...," sold for $180; Lot 33, an "Antique Gold-Filled Pocket Watch Case with Ornate Floral ...," sold for $90; Lot 46, "Antique 10k Gold Mourning Brooch Featuring Intricate Braided ...," sold for $75; and Lot 48, "c.1900 Sterling Silver Dragon's Breath Glass Brooch with Greek ...," sold for $65. An unnumbered entry in the excerpt shows a "Sold for: $95" line, and Lot 49's sold price is not shown in the available snippet.
Pricing and presentation details in the listing underline the need for buyers to consult individual lot pages. Many entries display "Start price: $5" and the site cautions that "The prices are displayed as Base prices. On the lot page, the full prices are also displayed." The listing also includes the direct instruction: "Please use photos for visual grading, as everyone has different opinions on condition."
Images and detailed descriptions were incomplete in the excerpt; multiple lots carry the placeholder "Lot picture will be available soon" and several titles end in ellipses, indicating truncated descriptions in the preview. A preview line reproduced in the materials itself is cut off: "The preview describes condition, maker attributions (w", the remainder of that sentence is not present in the excerpt.

The auction house framed the event with promotional language that nevertheless included practical terms: "This Antique Estate Jewelry auction is an exciting event that will bring together collectors, enthusiasts, and treasure seekers like yourself," and "This is a fantastic culmination of the finest gemstones, jewelry, and coins." Logistics were explicit - "Pre-bidding starts 1/21, and live online auction starts 2/17 at 6pm EST" - and post-sale handling was limited to a single pick-up window: "Pick up one day only - Thursday 2/19/26 10-1pm." The listing closes with the firm auction policy, "All sales are final. If you have questions, please contact us directly."
The February 17 sale thus surfaced signed and attributed items - Taxco silver and a Hamilton watch head among them - and a small suite of Navajo-style turquoise pieces; the catalog excerpt suggests buyers should review full lot pages for images, maker signatures, and the “full prices” beyond the base figures shown in the preview.
