Ok, I hope I got some better photographs, and all the jewelry is cleaner now too! :^D There are some rhinestones missing, but I think they still look good, and can be repaired. The colorful bird is missing the pin-back, and I added the sterling disc earrings, that I found at a Thrift Store yesterday 5/3/18, for $2., and the Clerk knew that they were silver too! I took some close-ups, so if you want to see more detail on something, let me know. The copper coin look bracelet, is by Renoir. I searched for info on these a little, but if you would like a little more, on anything, let me know, and I'll do my best! Thanks for letting me know some of the things that You wanted to see, or liked! :^D
Thank you for stopping by, and all comments are welcome! :^)
Really good pictures of some lovely vintage jewelry Bill, nice job! I still love your birdies best, the big colorful one on bottom is a beaut, then the parrot on (r) which I now can tell is marcasite style, & the big silver Tweety type. The rifle, cowboy boot-hat & umbrella are very cool. Nice post!
Thank you for your very kind comment Ken, yes that Bird is an eye catcher! :^D
Jenni, always nice to get a comment from you! The Cowboy Hat and Boot brooch I added, because it went with the Rifle Brooch, I also got it at the Flea Market, about a month ago though, both are sterling, and the Tweety too! :^D
Many thanks to the both of you Ken, and Jenni, for stopping by, and giving some love too! :^)
Hi Kevin, and Mrstyndall, thank you for the love! :^)
Just be careful Bill, as I never clean my jewelry. Especially if you soak in water or glass cleaner. Using liquids rots the foil on the back of any rhinestones, especially if they do not dry perfectly. I send mine to my fixer, my stone girl in Vancouver. You got some fantastic finds and anyone would be envious of this hoard !~
Beautiful group and find !! WOW.....
There is a little fan on the back right side that fans out. Looks like one I had in the early 1980's. I will look in my jewelry box to see IF I still have mine too !!
Thanks Phil, I usually try to brush any dirt away, but have rinsed extra dirty pieces, with no problem, after a quick dry. I'll be more careful now, because I didn't know that it might be water soluble!
It was a fun pick, and I had to show the photographs that I took of them, to my friends at the Flea Market this morning! :^D
Thank you for the love too Phil, very nice of you! :^)
Thank you Rose, that little fan was closed when I found it, and I thought it was a pendant bobble, but then found that it opened and it has two different scenes on each side, what a nice surprise! :^D

Thank you so much Mary, sometimes I post too many things at once, and it gets a little overwhelming, but this time, that was the point! That's the way I felt too! :^D
Your love is always a good thing too Mary, thank you! :^)
Really some amazing treasures, Bill!
I forgot to add that I love the bird brooch in the front in the first photo and what looks to be an enameled bar pin to the left!!!
Thanks Laura, I think they are too! :^D Yes that bird brooch is very popular, also the reason it's up front, definitely an eye catcher! B^o That little enamel blue on blue flower bar brooch is cute, and I think, it's an older piece too! :^)
Thank you for the looks, and the loves, Andrea, Laura, and aura! Much appreciated! :^)
