ART DECO, RED GLASS, DRESS CLIP WITH SILVER DECORATION
I love dress clips - they can be used in so many different ways! This one is made of red glass - with silvered glass decoration. It is not a big one - but it is very stylish! In addition to wearing it as a dress clip, it could be hung on a silver chain. I always have a good selection of dress clips in my shop at Vintage Modes, Grays Antiques. Grays Mews (where I am - and there are two separate buildings) is so easy to get to - being opposite the side entrance of Bond Street tube station in central London. I also have a large selection of Art Deco costume jewellery. Price £30. Reference 2243 B96/38 - www.gillianhorsup.com

MODERNIST SILVER BRACELET
This is a modernist bracelet from Germany. It is not Sterling silver - it is marked 830 - which is a little lower silver content than Sterling. It is probably from the 1950's-1960's and is old, unused stock - which is why it is in such good condition. I cannot sell it as silver as it is not Sterling or Hallmarked - but it is still a superb bracelet - very much a piece of its time. See full details on my web site - www.gillianhorsup.com - reference 2239 B96/15. Price £145. I sell vintage jewellery and costume jewellery at Grays Antiques in central London - do pay me a visit!

CORO DUETTE - GILT, RED BAGETTES, COLLAR SHAPED
A wonderful Coro duette brooch. This comes apart into two fur clips. (Fur clips have two prongs instead of a clip fitting so that they can be worn on thicker materials). Coro Duettes were made by the Coro company in the 1930/40s. This one is in very good condition. The reference number is 2223 B87/14 and the price is £135.
