These cute earrings are wooden shoes featuring windmills. Ok so they aren't exactly Dutch wooden shoes, they are porcelain and the design work that's delftware. Delftware is blue and white pottery made in and around Delft, Netherlands.
While cleaning up some old folder and files this week- I found some more pictures of jewelry. Go figure! I thought this beautiful green rhinestone brooch with matching earrings deserves it's own pictorial post. Note the open backed setting of the brooch- opening backed setting tend to really show of a really good piece.
I have actually sold quite a few of these little lockets... They must have been very popular in the 1950's because of the television show - This Is Your Life. If you are not familiar with the show- I have included a clip from a This Is Your Life show that featured Laurel & Hardy- enjoy!
Heavy choker style necklaces like this one from Monet- have been selling very well in auctions on eBay for me. For some they seem a bit gaudy- but for some jewelry collectors the more dramatic the choker the better and showing off a great neckline is sexy.
This set is an amazing signed Whiting and Davis Cameo demi parure featuring a necklace and matching clip on earrings.
"Amazing" you say... What's so amazing about this vintage cameo set?
Move the pieces around and let them catch the light just a little.
I think the iridescent features of this cameo set makes it look really pretty and out of the ordinary. What do you think?
I am really not a Bakelite girl and I don't wear pierced earrings often... but I would wear these out on a red hot date night. How about you?
These vintage earrings are signed Sarah Coventry. They are called "Galaxy" and are from the 1963 catalog - collections. There is a brooch that comes with it to make a demi parure.
