Some extras to show from some of my collection of Costume Jewellery....
The blue, sliver and clear foiled glass one, probably along with the star on my other listing are my favourites today.
But these and my other photos dont capture the true beauty of them...
oh and another thing I meant to mention. Always look at the claspt. If they are used or the old fashioned typed...Gold is very easy to see of its old but some of the silver ones that have been dipped in a shiny alloy, then these can fool...
Alot of the bling type coming out of china is getting better and I suppose if you like it then buy it..
My favs are the Edwardian, 1930's 1940's 1960's and 70's...
Please enjoy...
yes, the Edwardian one in particular, a nightmare to get those rectangle pieces of clear class with foil to show up...there's a particular type I'm trying to collect, its a green emerald type glass brooch, square and had clear glass with foil running along side...my neighbours grandmother had it and gave it to her and I've not seen one like it. The early pieces are so hard to come by..my preferences arew green, blue, pink and seen some lovely yellows of recent...

I got the note you commented but can't see the comment here, really odd...
Fashion Splendor is the name of the Sarah Coventry brooch 3rd photo...thanks for letting me know the name, I knew who the maker was but not the style...
Cheers

66 or 68?
Thanks nuts...
it's an amazingly heavy one as well so can only be worn with heavy weight clothing like coats etc to hold it from tipping over. But I see something new in it each time. See the green points scattered around the outside of the main collection of stones?6 of them? Well I didnt know they were there until I looked at the photo....
The silver, blue and clear glass I will never know but I think the red o pink half moon might be another well known "brand". The colours of the glass in this one is amazing...how it captures the light just beautiful...
Again the photo does not do it justice.
But I'm very pleased to have the small number of ones that I do :)
Very nice!
