These are part of my collection of earrings passed down to me by my mother. There are markings such as Listine, Cora, Sarah Coventry, and some I didn't take the time to identify. My Mother passed away two years ago and wanted me to have her jewelry. She was an avid collector and traveled all over the United States going to flea markets and yard sales. The first question she would always ask is do you have any old jewelry? Somehow she ended up buying the whole lot and would come home and look at all her treasures. I now find myself doing the same thing. I will be posting more pieces later. I have alot and it's hard for me to look through it all still because I miss her so much.
They are beautiful. It is nice to hear that you both shared the same passion for jewelry.
Thank you thriftfan :)
I so know what you mean. I realized I still had the charm bracelet of my grandmothers from 30 years ago (I lost alot in Katrina), and was so excited. It has no charms on it but I can't wait to fill it and know what was on her wrist can be on mine :)
