ART DECO NECKLACE - MIXED RED, BLACK AND CLEAR GLASS BEADS

A very interesting Art Deco necklace with a variety of glass beads in red, black and clear glass.  It has chrome bead caps and 2 metal beads.  I particularly like the clear glass beads with the red stripe along its length.  I have had to rethread the necklace to make it secure.  Price £120 ref: 3279 D20/38  On my web site under Vintage Necklaces.

NATIVE AMERICAN SILVER THUNDERBIRD BROOCH WITH TURQUOISE STONE

A long, thin, Native American silver Thunderbird brooch with a turquoise stone in the body.  Looks Navaho to me - but I am not an expert.  In this country I am unable to sell it as Sterling Silver as it has no accepted hall marks. (It is actually unmarked).  Price £68 ref: 3273 D31/22
