I visited an old friend of mine this week and she wanted to clean the house and she gave me some costume jewelry they had in the family. Have joy with me :D
Nothing is marked, but some pieces are lovely. I am particularly sad about the flower earring, she lost her companion :D
That butterscotch necklace is my favorite!
Mine, too!
Thank you :D
What a fantastic collection of beauties.
The plastics are wonderful.
The rhinestones are spectacular. That swirled brooch!!!
All very nice.... how lovely of your friend to give them to you!!!
Glad you like them! Thank you all!!
Lovely collection and lovely friend!
Yep! Thank you Kyra! Glad you like it!
Lovely! Are the butterscotch beads bakelite?
the deep red necklace in the first pic could be bakelite. Go and do some search on it. Plenty of info on bakelite was written here on Cw.
Maybe the firsr yellow one could also be bakelite, but you cant really tell from the pics.
Thank you both! I dont think the yellow one is bakelite. I have some bakelite bangles and they are different. This is too light and "plastic".
I already tested the red necklace with Simichrome, nope no yellow. I know Smimichrome is not perfect, but neither this one does feel like bakelite.
What a great haul!!! :)
Thank you martika!
hmm see the bakelite there
where, where?
the yellow ones are no bakelite - too light for that
