LEA STEIN BROOCH - BALLERINA OR SCARLETT O'HARA - WITH FAN

This is the Lea Stein ballerina - or Scarlet O'Hara brooch.  The colours are wonderful - probably a piece of material has been used for the dress.  The hat has very small mother of pearl square.  The fan is cut in layers - something Lea Stein used to be famous for.  Full description on my web site - www.gillianhorsup.com - see link below. Reference 2839 C26/20 Price £68.

ART DECO PINK CUT GLASS NECKLACE & EARRINGS SET

This is an Art Deco set comprising a necklace with cerise pink cut glass pieces and clear faceted beads on square gold plated wire.  It has the earrings to match.  I love this set - it is really a beautiful colour.  I do not believe it has ever been worn and it is in very good condition.  Full description on my web site - www.gillianhorsup.com - follow the link below.

Marie-~Christine Pavone makes her jewellery from galalith.  This is a pair of black galalith clip earrings with a lion's head in red.  See full details on my web site (there is a link below) and also see my notes on Pavone under Manufacturers - My Blogs.  I love Pavone's work - it has such humour.  I hope to be getting some more Pavone earrings soon.

LEA STEIN BROOCH - DECO CAT - GOLDEN YELLOW AND BLACK

I love the Lea Stein deco cat brooch - and particularly like this colour combination.  Such a great design.  Glad to have it back in stock.  I only sell genuine Lea Steins - that have the Lea Stein Paris pin on the back.  Reference 2832 C24/6 price £65.  I usually have a good stok of Lea Stein brooches - although it is getting harder to find the ones I want.

SILVER DIAMANTE BROOCHES - ASSORTED - SMALL

An assortment of small silver diamante brooches.  All are marked in some way.  Some are 800, some are 925 and some have full British Hallmarks.  All are vintage.  I am selling these in my shop at Grays Antiques in central London.  Individually they are £30.  Two are £50 and 5 are £100.  They are for personal shoppers only - as it would be difficult to keep up to date with items sold - and I will replenish where necessary!  They would look good with several being worn together - or individually on a hat!

LEA STEIN BROOCH - THE RABBIT - BLUE, WHITE, GREY

Haven't had a Lea Stein rabbit brooch for ages!  One of the harder ones to find - for me  - at the moment.  It is in a swirley white and grey pattern and has a turqoise blue trim.  There are a number of fake Lea Stein's about at the moment - please do not buy them.  Unless it is a really early one, it should have a pin marked 'Lea Stein Paris' on it.  This one is £65 and the reference is 2828 C24/7.  Full details on my web site - to which there is a link.
