GIRL WITH BAG PENDANT - GOLD COLOURED WITH DIAMANTE

This is not what I normally sell - but it appealed to me.  I do not think it is very old - have seen more modern versions of the dolly - but this one has quite a nice diamante dress and a handbag.  It is not so twee as some I have seen.  Most of my jewellery is vintage but I do make exceptions - and this is one of them!  It is on a long chain and it measures approx 4 inches.  Love it!  reference 2818 C16/19 price £35.

LEA STEIN BROOCH - SAXOPHONE PLAYER - RED AND BLACK

This is one of the more difficult to get Lea Stein brooches - the saxophone player.  This one is in green and red with black hair and ivorine skin.  One of my favourites - especially as the sax player is female!  The colours are good on this one too - especially the red sax.  It will join my selection of Lea Stein brooches in my shop at Grays Antiques Mews.  Reference 2816 B139/56 price £78.  See it on www.gillianhorsup.com

RED BAKELITE CARVED VINTAGE CLAMPER BRACELET/BANGLE

This is a red Bakelite hinged/clamper bracelet or bangle from the c1930's when bakelite was very popular.    It is a lovely opaque red colour with cut decoration on the front and a plain back.  It is in very good condition and the hinge works well.  So please to get it - bakelite is much more difficult to find here in the U.K.  Price £175 reference 2814 C14/8.

ART DECO JEWELLERY

Have been tidying and dusting the shelves in my shop at Grays Antiques.  Have so many to do that when I have finished it is time to start again!  Here is one that has been done today.  Lots of Art Deco pieces in this cabinet.

VINTAGE JEWELLERY - BLUE

Here are some of my favourite items in that lovely deep blue color.  A lot of Art Deco glass jewellery was made in this colour.  Do e-mail me about any of these pieces because they might not be in the shop.  You can contact me from my web site - www.gillianhorsup.com - or by ringing the shop - 02074998121.

ART DECO BROOCH - GREEN & BLACK GLASS PIECES ON SILVER

Not absolutely sure if this was made in the Art Deco period or in an Art Deco revival period.  There are no clues that I can see!  It is simply made of two semicircles of glass - black and green - on a silver back with silver tubes.  As it is marked 925 - I cannot sell it as silver without a Hallmark.  Nevertheless it is a very stylish brooch - in very Deco colours and would be easy to wear.  Full details on my web site - www.gillianhorsup.com - price £75 reference 2812 C5/9
