VINTAGE EARRINGS WITH COLOURED GLASS DROPS & GOLD TONE, PIERCED FINDINGS

These earrings all came from a shop that closed in 1972.

I love 1940s jewellery and this large, gold tone, bow brooch with dark red stones is a good example.  In my shop in Grays Antiques, in central London, I try to have a complete selection of vintage costumes jewellery.  A mixture of periods and materials - anything I like!  I would happily wear this brooch - it makes such a statement.  It also has a loop to take a chain.  Ref: 2035 C40/3  Price £88.
