SET OF 3 BAKELITE SPACER BANGLES

I am a great lover of bakelite jewellery and like to wear bangles!  Love this set of 3 - lightly marbled.  One green, one red and one which I think might be called Peanut.  The peanut one is a little more marbled.  They have the standard opening of 2 1/2 inches - two narrow for some of my customers unfortunately.  They are 2/5ths inches wide.  Could be worn as a set - or mixed with other colours.

LEA STEIN BROOCH - SCARLETT O'HARA - BALLERINA

This is the Lea Stein Scarlett O'Hara brooch - also called the Ballerina.  This one is at least the right colour for Scarlett and it has a fan - which not all of them have.  It is mainly in red - with gold glitter on the inside of the hat, and black and silver belt and ivorine body.  Full description as usual on web site - see link below.

CAPRI - VINTAGE STAR GILT BROOCH WITH BLUE GLASS STONES & DIAMANTE

So little seems to be known about the New York company Capri.  They made I think from approx 1952-1977.  The streaky glass stones in this brooch are typical of the 1950/60s period.  It is quite a heavy 5 star brooch coloured blue with diamante stones round the streaky blue glass stones.  It is marked copyright Capri on the back.  Full details as usual on my web site - follow the link below.  www.gillianhorsup reference 2896 C30/33 price £68

GOLD TONE SNAKE CHAIN & FAUX EMERALD VINTAGE NECKLACE

Having my usual moan about companies not marking their jewellery.  This gold tone snake chain and faux emerald necklace is such good quality that you would think a company would want their name on it!  The faux emerald is similar to those used by Dior.  I love the earlier Dior pieces - and they used to mark items with their name and a year!  This is so useful to jewellery collectors.  How many companies do that now!  There is a full description of this necklace on my web site - www.gillianhorsup.com and the price is £75 reference 2895 C31/4

BUTTERFLIES & OPALESCENT GLASS BEADS VINTAGE EARRINGS

These vintage earrings are part of a huge stock of jewellery I have bought that came out of a shop that closed in 1972 - so the earrings - which were made up in the shop - have to be before that date.  They consists of a gold coloured butterfly hanging from an opalescent bead on an unusual leverback fitting.  I love opalescent beads and butterflies so these earrings tick lots of boxes for me!  Price £55 ref: 2894 YL3

GREEN GALALITH DRAGON DRESS CLIP

This green galalith dragon dress clip is from the Art Deco period - when dress slips were very popular.  If you are not sure how to wear them - dress is a blog on my web site under 'dress clips' that might give you some ideas.  Galalith is an early plastic and the dress clips would have been

cut to shape and polished.  I would love to wear it on a chain round my neck.  This green is such a Deco colour and other items could be collected to wear with it.  Price £88 reference 2891 C31/2Green Galalith dragon dress clip

ORA - GOLD TONE NECKLACE, BRACELET & CLIP EARRINGS SET

This Ora gold tone set comprising necklace, bracelet and clip earrings, looks very 1980's.  Such a useful set - items could be worn singly, in a pair - or all together for a special occasion.  There is an excellent description of the company on 'A

Ora - gold tone necklace, bracelet & clip earrings setntiquing on Line - the Jewelry Box' that you could look up to find all about the company - which started life in 1921!  They are still making!  Price £120 reference 2890 C23/52

LEA STEIN LARGE BUTTERFLY BROOCH - RED AND FLECKS

This is the large size Lea Stein butterfly brooch.  It has a layered red body and red patterning on the wings.  It is on a background of a lightish brown with flecks of different colours - so hard to describe!  Would look so wonderful on a camel coloured

Lea Stein large butterfly brooch - red & flecks garment!  Love the fact that each Lea Stein piece is different - which you get with hand made pieces.  Even with the same style/pattern, there are subtle differences.  I always have a good stock of Lea Stein brooches in my shop at Grays Antiques.  Price £65 reference 2889 C26/26

LONG GOLD TONE & FAUX PEARL DROP ORNATE VINTAGE EARRINGS

These ornate faux pearl earrings for pierced ears have come out of a shop that has been shut since 1972.  I have bought a lot of jewellery from this shop and hope to put some of it online gradually!  Love these earrings.  The gold tone is not quite so bright as it would have been new - which I prefer.  Full description as usual
