My trip to Salvation Army yesterday to look for the other elusive Oscar feather earring from the other day was again disappointing. I poured over the two trays full with ton's of tiny earrings and came home with about a pounds worth for five bucks. Lot's of Trifari and Monet some silver and a few unknowns. I did however find these little gold tone shells by Oscar De La Renta. They are quite heavy for their size and marked inside with an oval plaque that simply says "Oscar". They were missing their fasteners so I scavenged a set but they don't quite match. Don't think it matters too much. These are not as valuable as the one that got away but I'm pleased I found them. -Mike-
These speak so much of their period - would look lovely with a nice sil palazzo pant and shell top. mmmmm.
It's annoying when pairs get separated and op shops are masters at it! Console yourself by thinking maybe the other feather earring was never donated.
That's silk palazzo pant! Real silk, not fake for de la Renta.
Thanks Karen:).... Christi had done a few grab bags the day before and she thought it possibly was in one of those but you are right maybe there never was a pair. Maybe someone else only has one and would pay handsomely for a mate. I was really surprised what his jewelry is going for since his passing. Still in all these did make up for it a bit.
