I don't give a hoot... vintage owl necklace

I noticed recently that vintage owls whether they are in brooches or necklaces seem to be in vogue on eBay. It's not that I don't like owls, but the necklaces in particular seem almost gaudy to me. I mean some of them are down right huge. The example in the pictures is only four inches tall, but I have seen some auction listings with owls as large as six inches!

That's enormous!

I don't have a particular fondness for petite jewelry but I don't want my jewelry getting in the way of me walking and doing things either.

Faux Opal Earrings with Rhinestones



Fake or real- opals are intriguing and beautiful. When I looked over these vintage clip on earrings the first time- I didn't even notice that there were rhinestones behind the metal- do you see them now... me neither but they are there?

Carolyn Rafaelian Lavender Demi Parure



Here's a designer name I am not familiar with it- but after close inspection of this demi parure I would like to see more. This pretty set is high quality and lovely. A beautiful spray of lavenders make up both the brooch and matching clip on earrings.

Name that stone?

This gorgeous green stone is malachite- in this example it's set in a sterling silver bracelet and comes with matching earrings. Just gorgeous!

Egyptian Revival Brooch with Charms


Vintage Button Bracelet



Here is one of the most amazing button bracelets I have ever come across, at the time I had mixed feelings about selling it on eBay. I ended up selling it and it went for close to nothing... Most vintage button bracelets I have seen only have a row or two- this outstanding bracelet had three rows and the variety of buttons were amazing. Now I am left with just the one picture, I hope someone is enjoying this very special bracelet!
