EMMONS VINTAGE BRACELET & CLIP EARRINGS SET - GOLD TONE & GLASS STONES

Something a bit different today!  A gold tone, vintage bracelet and clip earrings set from Emmons.  Emmons was the sister company to Sarah Coventry - a little more up market!  It was in production from the mid 1950s until the beginning of the 1980s. It is in a matt gold tone and has cabochon glass stones. It does not look as if it has been used.  Full details on my web site.  Price £95 reference 2825 C21/64.

BAKELITE BANGLE, CARVED, CREAMED CORN, WIDE

This is a vintage bakelite bangle in a creamed corn colour.  It has been carved with an attractive pattern and is approx 1 3/10 inches wide.  It has the standard 2 1/2 inches wide opening - that most of the early bakelite bangles have.  Love it and wish I could keep it - but it will be in the shop - at - Vintage Modes, Grays Antiques, in central London.

SUNDAY TIMES STYLE MAGAZINE - 6.9.2015 - ORANGE CRUSH

Lucky to get lots of pairs of my orange plastic 60s style earrings in the Sunday Times Style Magazine.  'Orange Crush' was photographed and the set designed by Elena Rendina.  The Fashion Stylist was Lucy Ewing.  All the earrings in the shoot were mine - at £30 a pair - except for a pair of Miu Miu - which were £2,070 - so I was in good company!

CZECH ART DECO PERIOD LAPIZ GLASS LONG EARRINGS

I have a passion for the Art Deco period Czech jewellery.  I just love these lapiz glass drops earrings.  They are quite long - approx 3 1/2 inches.  It is amazing they have survived intact - so many have drops that are damaged.  Yes they are a little expensive - at £145 - but I cannot buy them - and really have to pay to get them!  Full details, as usual, on my web site.  Reference 2820 BB

LAURA BIAGIOTTI GILT & DIAMANTE CLIP EARRINGS

Here's a pair of Laura Biagiotti gilt and diamante clip earrings - probably from the 1980s.  Laura Biagiotti is on of the biggest fashion houses in Italy and had her first fashion show in 1972.  These gilt clip earrings still have the original hang tag and are unworn and in good condition.  They are a little more gold coloured - and not so coppery - as they have come out in the pictures.  Full details on my web site - www.gillianhorsup.com - reference 2819 C9/5
