blue rhinestones & sapphire blue baguettes in a ship's wheel design. From Monet (founded in 1937) ca 1980s
Memorial Day wishes to all military personnel & their families. In remembrance of my US Navy veteran father who served in Korea
Great piece and a wonderful Memorial Day remembrance!!
Pretty piece, Jenni!
I haven't seen a ship's wheel with stones before but don't be amazed you know my jewellery experience is pretty limited. I have only seen enamel ones so this one with those gorgeous baguettes really attracts me!
Mmm...nothing better than items with a nautical theme, and it's really sweet that your paying tribute to your dad this way. I adore the detail and the colours on this little ships helm- they're such a pretty object anyway, reminds me of the days of tall ships(I have a very rosy way of looking at tall ships and the days of old fashioned ships!) and your little helm really evokes that! :P
Beautiful piece and a loving way to remember your father by. If he were here I would thank him for his service.
Great pin for any remembrance, gorgeous, love it !~

Scott thank you for your super praise, I try to acknowledge holidays and when I see war related or nautical jewelry it esp reminds me of my father, as well as the chance to honor others who served
Thank you MrsT for your great compliment and finding this wheel pretty, it certainly has alot of shiny bling to it
You are so right Karen, most all the ship's wheel jewelry I've ever seen has been enamel as well, so to find this with the pretty blue stones was a delight! Aren't the baguettes on the wheel turns cool, that was some creative thinking by Monet. Thank you for your fantastic praise
I agree Lauren that nautical themes are really great, and I love the older ships with wheels shaped like this as well - hey, I even like fantasy boats like in Jason & Argonauts where they put a goddess image at the front (prow? I'm not a seafarer lol). Yes it is nice to find nautical items in remembrance of my dad, you know he was a midwesterner where there was no water so the Navy taught him how to swim. Thank you for your lovely comment & bringing back some fond memories
Thank you so much FreshAir for your wonderful comment & very kind thoughts for my father, he was quite proud of his service but as with most men of the time rarely talked about it. We owe so much to the brave men & women who served our country so selflessly, nice to remember them
Thank you Phil for your fab praise, I am so glad you enjoyed this blingy wheel, the blue stones look so great with the silver don't they, almost like fine jewelry it's so delicate
Thanks LazyBoy for your really nice comment and the link, it has brought me a smile too & I wish you a safe weekend as well
