ART DECO CHANNEL SET DIAMANTE JEWELLERY

I love vintage jewellery and have a passion for Art Deco channel set diamante jewellery!  The pieces here are a small selection of my stock.  They are the older, Art Deco pieces - 1920/1930's.  I also have a good stock of the later 1950/60 pieces.  These often have coloured stones or mother of pearl set in.  Sometime the later pieces were marked Randel or DoSo - but I do not know anything about the makers - except that they would have been German.  The earlier pieces were sometimes marked DRGM but this is not a maker but a quality control mark.  If you are interested in purchasing these items - or similar - please contact me through my web site - www.gillianhorsup.com - or ring me at Grays Antiques (central London) on 02074998121.

LEA STEIN BROOCH - THE PEACOCK - GREEN BODY

This is the Lea Stein peacock brooch.  It has a vibrant green body.  The feathers are in a ?Liberty print material - black background with circles.  These prints are getting harder to find - especially in the peacock brooch and I was glad to get this one.  This means it is a bit more expensive than some of my Lea Steins.  It all depends on what I paid, and whether I think I can get another!  Price £85 reference 2724 C3/26 www.gillianhorsup.com - I usually have a good selection in my shop at Vintage Modes, Grays antiques in central London.
