Amazing Weiss!
Thomas you are so lucky, the ruby is one of the classic four birthstone jewels, the others being diamond (April), emerald (May) and sapphire (September), and as a jewelry lover I totally envy you, rubies are precious & beautiful. Very glad you enjoyed my ruby rhinestones here & always love your great comments - here's a musical comparison for this, "Ruby" by Ray Charles, I loved that song and the movie it came from, Ruby Gentry with Jennifer Jones
My friend the red lover, Eileen, how I hoped you would enjoy this & really happy you did! Weiss gave this that old time glamor & sophistication, I felt very dressed up wearing it on velvet to my husband's company Christmas party & enjoyed all the compliments. This was one of those accidental finds from the rl site, couldn't believe someone didn't snatch this up right away I was very lucky. Wonderful compliments my friend as always, thank you
Super compliment MrsT, thank you! I call this piece my 'Downton Abbey' as it has the drapy look of jewelry from those times. It's so fancy though, I think it is mainly to be worn on special occasions don't you
Many thanks everyone for the very kind love

There is an unsigned blue one auction at 9.99$ on Ebay now, have you seen it?
Beautiful pieces with Christmas colors.I wanted to wish you a belated Merry Christmas as I’m just now checking your newest treasures and a Very Happy and Prosperous New Year.
Very happy holidays and thanks for the wonderful words & kind love jbingham, I thought this was in the Christmas colors too, and really appreciate your thoughtfulness :)
Pascale I didn't see the eBay unsigned blue version, that must have been lovely, a very lucky person got that for $10 as this Weiss cost me quite a bit more lol!
When Weiss used claws to hold their stones, they were some of the finest jewellers, a great piece. Sorry was busy at Christmas but much love to you on the holidayss !~
The Ebay one is a look alike! Not at all same quality:

A very wonderful holiday season & happy new year to you too Phil, and thank you for the great praise & love about this Weiss piece, it is great when there are claws to hold the rhinestones in, secures them forever
Thanks Pascale for the link to the blue brooch, I do think mine looks better quality too - many of the unsigned pieces are copies so they use cheaper materials to make them. It is pretty in the blue however
Thank you Agram.m and hunterq for the love, it's very kind of you and much appreciated
HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!
