PENDANT NECKLACE - GILT AND CREAM AND GREEN

PAVONE CLOWN BROOCH


I love Pavone's work - she creates new pieces out of old galalith (which is an early plastic). I particularly like this piece because of the humour and also because of the pieces of galalith which she has found - the blue swirly bits! It is absolutely brilliant. Ref. 404 A189/42. Price £58. www.gillianhorsup.com. It is in the shop at Grays Antiques, (Vintage Modes in The Mews) in Central London. I always have a good selection of Costume Jewellery.
