Trifari King of Diamonds 1996 Reproduction Brooch

This is a great signed Trifari brooch in the shape of the King of Diamonds playing card. Not only is it signed Trifari it is also dated 1996 and is a reproduction of Trifari's 1940's King of Diamonds. The reproduction is a great piece and rare too- I listed this one on eBay and it sold in less then a hour from the time of listing.

A Bevy of Art Deco Beauties - Vintage Dress Clips


What else says "elegant" more than the Art Deco dress clip? I love to collect dress clips because they are absolutely magnificent looking. The Art Deco shapes and rhinestones set in silver tone metal scream luxury and classic design.

The only problem with being a slave to dress clips is that I can never think of ways to wear them. They seem much to dressy for everyday wear and it is very few and far between when I wear something formal enough to clip on a dress clip.

Ah well- maybe dress clips are not for wearing, at least not for me, but it does not stop me from admiring their beauty even from afar.

Vintage Porcelain Shabby Chic Painted Floral Bracelet



This is a lovely vintage bracelet that I would wear over and over. Whether with jeans or a bit more dressed up this bracelet would not spend much time in my jewelry box. It really is a shabby chic treasure!

Christmas in July anyone? Here's a fun Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer Brooch.



I love vintage Christmas jewelry and while it's not unusual to see reindeer brooches, necklaces, or earrings- this brooch of Rudolph is a first for me. The other unusual feature about this pretty piece is that it looks like Rudolph has a rhinestone collar, but it's not. His collar is actually dabs of enamel set in the holes to look like rhinestones. All in all- a very cute piece of vintage Christmas jewelry.

Tiny Victorian Moonglow Heart Brooch




Here's a lovely Victorian piece. A tiny heart brooch surrounded with rhinestones. It has such a magical glow and is quite the treasure! The back helps to date the piece although no one can ever be certain. The early hinge and pin extending past the brooch dates the brooch to the middle 1800's. I took pictures of it in the palm of my hand to show how tiny the brooch really is.
