April treasures

Gorgeous Monet necklace, contemporary, from the last couple of years.



Contemporary Monet necklace, from the last couple of years, really lovely.



Coro flower earrings, possibly late 1940's, early 1950's, really sweet and a nice find.



Fabulous Christmas tree pin, singed LJM, probably 1990's or earlier.



Pretty little Christmas tree pin, most likely 1950's.



Contemporary angel pin, probably last 10 years.



Monet earrings, contemporary, from the last couple of years.



Coro earrings from the mid 1950's, these are really nice, they screw on in addition to being clip on, for a snug fit.



Zebra pin, I'm guessing from the 1980's.



Coro rhinestone earrings from the 1950's.



Gold tone butterfly pin probably from the 1970's.



Sarah Coventry necklace, maybe 1970's, maybe 1980's.



I haven't been able to determine if this is amber or a Lucite filled look-alike. I think the chain might be real gold but I have no way to test it, and it is not marked.



Chains like this were popular in the late 1960's, early 1970's, I think.



Clear snowflake pin, probably contemporary, maybe 5 - 10 years old.



Pretty little fleur de lis pin, I'm guessing 1960's.



Bit and bobs for repairs.

This is a great piece, Retro, with flowers bearing dark blue rhinestone centers, from the 1940's through the 1950's, I think.

Most special box

Here is the box my dad sent to me this summer to use for my book signings. He went to a stamp maker and had a metal plaque made using the title of my book and he attached it for me. I can't tell you how much I love this box. It is currently in storage, since I recently moved, but I can't wait to get it back and fill it with jewels. And I know just the ones to put in it!

Thanks Jewelry Girlfriend!
