MARCASITE BOW BROOCH


Bought this lovely marcasite bow brooch. It is marked "silver". It's a great classic and would look good on a jacket or hat for work, or for going out on the town. Marcasite makes a change from white paste and is a pleasing grey colour which blends well with the silver. £75. 416 B1/11. www.gillianhorsup.com

VINTAGE MAUVE PASTE STONES NECKLACE


This is a great coloured paste stones necklace in mauves and lilacs with one large central stone. Not my best picture - it actually looks much better - the colours are lovely. Have lots of other coloured paste stones necklaces in my shop at Grays Antiques in central London. Price £120. www.gillianhorsup.com.

MIRACLE BROOCH


Here's a large brooch by the firm A Hill & co. who used the name "Miracle" and made celtic style jewellery with metal and glass stone. This one has always been my favourite. Some people collect Miracle jewellery. A65/36. £48. www.gillianhorsup.com.
