Hello, and thank you all for visiting my page! I have been collecting antiques since I was a child, and I have been selling them since I turned 18.

  1. Since I have now been drawn into this, when I was just posting items from my personal collections, allow me to clear up two things. 1. I am a long-time collector of vintage jewelry, and every item...
  2. Newfld, thank you very much! I truly adore vintage costume jewelry, and my favorite thing is learning about the different designers. It’s so neat to hear about the origins of these famous creators, an...
  3. Elisabethan, thank you so much! I love their white-against-blue cameo silhouettes, as well. Their jewelry is just as lovely as their housewares!
  4. Newfld, thank you! Oh, yes. Their Ancient Greek/Rome scenes are among my personal favorites. I love their china, as well, and have started a small collection. :)
  5. kwqd, thank you so much! I love flowers, so this grabbed me the second I saw it. :)
  6. Kenneth Jay Lane’s animal brooches are some of my personal favorites! I love the color combination of these stones. Exquisite!
  7. Manikin, thank you so much! Schiaparelli creations are addictive to collect! :)
  8. Ms.CrystalShip, The green stones are what drew me to this! I really love the soft pastel shade with the iridescent coating. I also love the opaque white AB stones! This is one of my favorite brooches ...
  9. racer4four, I absolutely love looking through photos of her fashions! She had a really fun and unique vision that inspired a lot of designers to come. I wish she were alive today to see her legacy!
  10. Newfld, thank you very much! I really love the stones in this brooch. Sadly, I live on the other side of the country, and I do not have a physical location. I just sell online. Washington is on my...
  11. What an absolutely fascinating treasure! I appreciate you sharing it with us. I learned a lot from your description, too!
  12. This is stunning! I just love Murano!
  13. Wow! I absolutely love the pearls here!
  14. What a gorgeous bauble, and what a special story behind it! Your great-grandmother would be very happy to know that you are still enjoying it! :)
  15. I love the stones! I would place the value around $450, based on similar items I’ve seen during my treasure hunts. What a stunning treasure!
  16. Newfld, thank you! I just love anything and everything personalized. Antiques and vintage treasures that tell their true history are invaluable.
  17. Newfld, thank you! At the moment, it is my favorite guilloche compact. All personalized antiques go to the top of my favorites list! :)
  18. Newfld, how wonderful that you are able to trace an antique’s origins right back to its roots! That is quite special and rare, and, if you are able to locate it in the future, I’d love to see! Thank y...
  19. glassiegirl, thank you so much! The chevron is my absolute favorite. Years ago, at a thrift store, I found the necklace that matches it. I sold the necklace shortly after discovering it, but now that ...
  20. valentino97, I would love to read this book! I will have to see if I can find a copy online. It sounds like an excellent resource and a fun read!
  21. racer4four, thank you for the suggestion! I am glad to know that there is interest in what I share. As I am relatively new to this site, I am still figuring out how to navigate, and I wasn’t sure at f...
  22. Newfld, thank you very much! I really love these combs, and this is my absolute favorite. However, I’ve been fortunate to happen upon some lovely examples over the years, and I look forward to sharing...
  23. Mrstyndall, thank you! These combs are absolutely stunning. I love to imagine the original owners, finishing their flapper look by fastening one of these to their hairdos. I wish this comb could talk ...
  24. Mrstyndall, thank you very much! Blue is my favorite color, so this was a really special gift from a special person. If you’re interested, I believe that there is a green version of this brooch availa...
  25. Newfld, I would be happy to do so! I will take one later today to add to this post. It is signed in bold lettering in an oval cartouche. Schiaparelli pieces have all sorts of signatures, and I could d...
  26. racer4four, I love Glomesh, too! These wallets are quite similar to Glomesh’s Pesh wallet, which has a nearly-identical layout. I have been trying to order one from their website, but my card keeps bl...
  27. Newfld, thank you so much! Yes, they really do have that disco sparkle to them. Whiting & Davis produced some really fabulous halter tops during the ‘70s, and they are really fun to see.
  28. How beautiful! I absolutely love Fenton’s animals. They are so sweet and addictive to collect. What a gorgeous specimen!
  29. racer4four, thank you so much! I absolutely love these pieces and look forward to sharing more with you. Glad you enjoyed looking! Have a great day!
  30. This is an absolutely stunning pair of earrings!
  31. Manikin, thank you for your kind words! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
  32. Newfld, thank you very much! Habille cameos are among my personal favorites, after floral and scenic pieces. It is so nice that you have a special family memory attached to cameos. Do you have her pie...
