WHITE HOOPS CLIP EARRINGS WITH COLOURED STONES

These large clip earrings would be so good for the sun, on the beach, or at a holiday disco!  Being plastic they are not too heavy.  The colours of the glass stones would match almost any outfit!  I always have a selection of holiday/disco dancing type earrings in my shop at Grays Antiques.  Of course the earrings are not only to wear on holiday - they would look good with a variety of outfits!  Full details on my web site - www.gillianhorsup.com - ref: 2414 B109/29 Price £55.

TRIFARI 2 ROW VINTAGE GREEN BEADS NECKLACE

This Trifari necklace is a lovely mottled, jade green colour and is by Trifari - one of the best known of the American costume jewellery makers.  It would date from the 1940-1950's I think - although it could be a little later.  All the green beads are knotted in
between and it has a gilt metal clasp with a green glass stone.  See full details on my web site - www.gillianhorsup.com - price £88 ref: 2409 B107/42

VERY LARGE CELLULOID HAIR COMB - FLOWERS

Here's a wonderful large, celluloid, floral hair comb.  Probably from the first part of the 20th century.  The celluloid is a blond colour with a black overlay.  The flowers and lovely.  I am not an expert on hair combs but I do like this one.  Would be good for a collection - or for someone who has the hair to support it.  It curves on either side. Full measurements on my web site - www.gillianhorsup.com - price £95 reference no 2405 B98/23.  I always have some hair combs at my shop in Grays Antiques - which is very near to Bond Street tube station in central London.

LARGE VINTAGE GILT PENDANT WITH BLUE GLASS STONE

Here's a large, ?1980's gilt pendant with a blue (aqua) glass stone in the middle.  It is decorated round the edge with wire work.    I have put it on an Adrian Mann chain but the loop is big enough to take a thicker chain.  Full details of the measurements are on my web site - www.gillianhorsup.com and the reference number is 2393 B108/37 - price £88.  Love this because it makes a statement!  I have other gold tone jewellery in the shop if you can get to Grays Antiques in central London.
