Hobe Red Rhinestone & Link Collar Choker
I really could not get the lighting just right to show off how beautiful this red rhinestone Hobe choker is. In person - stunning!

Vintage Faux Pearl Necklace & Matching Earrings
I am usually not very fond of faux pearl sets, to me they're a dime a dozen. However, this one I like. To see what makes it stand out- take a look at the large rhinestone clasp on the necklace and the matching earrings adorned with gold tone leaves. Very nice!

Faux Stained Glass Brooch
I really don't know that this piece of jewelry is vintage, but I think it's really cute. For one the front is a very pretty faux stained glass floral arrangement that looks really neat. Two if you flip over the back it looks like a foiled Reese's Peanut Butter cup. For the record- I really like candy.

Vintage Odd Fellows Brooch
It's not too uncommon to find vintage brooches with fraternal organization emblems on them. This brooch is really pretty and the center enamel is the symbol of the Odd Fellows - and probably owned by a female member or Daughter of Rebekah.

B David Multi Colored Rhinestone Demi Parure
This will lighten and cheer up a blah Winter day- this demi parure consisting of brooch and matching screw-back earrings is signed B. David. I find that most B David jewelry is very high quality, somewhat delicate looking and very feminine.

Precious Old Vintage Newborn Ring
This is the smallest ring I have ever had in my inventory. It's not your typical child sized ring and I can't even get it to fit over the tip of my pinky. In fact it does not fit my 1 year old sons finger- it was made for a newborn. You can see in the top picture that it was cut- probably at the time of removal. Too it's very ornate for such a small little thing... and it's marked 10KP. Which for the record stands for 10 K PLUMB (meaning exact weight gold). Many vintage jewelry buyers confuse the P to mean plate. Gold plate is usually designated as GEP (or gold electro plate).
