Vanda Jewelry Cameo Pendant & Ring

Here's a 1972 Christmas advertisement for Vanda Beauty Counselors.

It reads:

Don't Leave Home for Christmas
(We bring Christmas to you).

I am not familiar with Vanda Beauty products but the jewelry looks suspiciously familiar. Look close in the corner you will see a Cameo Perfume Ring for $8.50 and a Floral Cameo Pendant - 24 carat gold plated , contains solid gel perfume $16.00. Now I know why it seems so familiar it reminds me of Avon and their line of solid perfume cameos and pendants.

The Framed Face - Holiday Glamour from 1967

Here's a two page photo spread from the December 1967 Family Circle- which is titled

"THE FRAMED FACE Fashion Close-Ups for Holiday Glamour."

There are a couple of pictures of really nice earrings by Marvella such as the blue drop earrings above and the closeup below. Then on the other hand there is silver lame helmet... what girl doesn't want a silver lame helmet to wear to the office holiday party? Is it you? I won't laugh...

Black Plastic Flapper Brooch

This brooch is really opulent in person and flashy- you can just imagine the flapper who wore this. I bet she was a really racy gal. I included a video of flapper fashion from the 1920's for your viewing pleasure. In the beginning of the video you can see some really flashy jewelry, there's also some pretty racy burlesque style dancing, and a woman getting her hair bobbed. ENJOY!

Weiss Maragarita Rhinestone Christmas Tree Brooch

This vintage Christmas tree brooch looks sort of plain at first. However, when you look at it closely- the first thing you will notice is the beautiful margarita rhinestones. Margarita rhinestones have the scalloped edges and look sort of like flowers.

This brooch features a couple watermelon colored margarita rhinestones in the bottom row. When the light catches them - WOW. This brooch is signed Weiss and one that vintage Christmas Tree brooch collectors will definitely want in there collection.

Happy Holidays

I hope all of you had a great Thanksgiving... I tried to get a few posts up before I took some time off from blogging. Looks like I am ready to post some more pictures since I have some new inventory in and have been working on taking pictures.

In the next few days I'll have plenty of Christmas jewelry for you to ohhhh and ahhh at. I will post some non- holiday related items for those who don't do Christmas too.

Tune in.
