Description: Vendome Triple Strand Argent and Arum Bead Necklace - One of Vendome's trademarks in their beaded necklaces seems to be the use of "flattened" round beads, which are almost like two rivoli beads back to back with the tips cut off. Whatever they are, they are expensive and difficult to find in any color except clear and aurora borealis. These are coated on one side with a metallic coating, some in silver and some in gold. These are graduated in size but the vast majority are 11.5mm (that's BIG" and are separated by groups of light brown seed beads. Strands are connected to Vendome's "leaf" ends. The tail was missing when I purchased this and I have replaced it with a chain made of clear flattened rounds, which was as close as I could get to the original. Adjusts to fit up to a 16 1/2" neck. Cost of beads alone is probably more than our price, IF you could find them. Item: SN10-479 Price: $79.50 US  |

Description: Coro Cameo Bracelet and Brooch Set - I am guessing these to be some of the jewelry produced around the time of the release of the movie "Gone With the Wind" in the very late 1930's - early 1940's. Both cameos in a classic woman's profile are done on a black glass background, but the brooch appears to have a matte finish plastic head while the smaller cameo in the bracelet appears to be of molded glass. While there is a slight difference in the appearance of the cameos, I think it has to do with the size difference and small details due to the size difference - these are obviously meant to match. Antiqued goldtone frames are identical. Brooch measures 1 3/4" x 1 3/8", and is about 1/2" deep. Bracelet is a little over 7" with the foldover clasp. Center part measures 1 3/8" x 1 1/8". Both pieces marked Coro in script. $45.00/set Item: SS10-114 Price: $45.00 US  |

Description: Mazer Swirl Brooch-Pendant - A truly exceptional piece just feels different. This lovely design is done with two sizes of round clear rhinestones, clear baguettes, tapered baguettes and cushion-cut square rhinestones, and finished in heavy rhodium plate. All stones are original, two pave rhinestones are missing and I will replace if you would prefer, though I would recommend leaving as is. Slight darkening on a few of the pave stones, and one of the cushion cut squares has yellowed slightly. Can be worn as a brooch or added to a chain as a pendant (self-bail on reverse). 2 3/4" x 1 1/2" at widest points and is 3-D. From my personal collection. Shown in at least one well-known jewelry book. Item: SP10-115 Price: $165.00 US |

Description: Vendome Two Strand Tiffany Ball and Black Glass Bead Necklace - Known for its beads as well as exquisite rhinestone pieces, Vendome always displays quality workmanship. This was hard to measure but is an adjustable nested style where the bottom strand plus the extension is about 20", so this should fit most people, and the tail could be added to if you need more length. Fancy rhinestone set clasp and trademark fleur-di-lis dangle shown in 2nd picture. I have replaced some missing rhinestones on the Tiffany balls. Item: SN10-445 Price: $35.00 US |

Clip earrings are about 5/8" in diameter; ring is about 5/8" wide and is adjustable. Item: SS10-219 Price: $35.00 US |

Description: M&S Gold Filled Retro Pin-Pendant and Earring Set - This lovely set, with an intriguing "stepped" design, came to me as a pin-pendant (without a chain) and earrings, so I have added a round 1940's snake chain, which can easily be removed with a pair of pliers, for those who would like to use this as a pendant necklace. The colored stones are purple unfoiled emerald cut glass stones and clear rhinestones, with all stones prong set. The earrings are screwback and measure 1 1/8" x 1/2"; the pendant is 3" x 1 1/2" at the widest points, but looks very delicate with its airy design. The added chains make about a 20" necklace. Item: SS10-272 Price: $49.50 US |

Faux grey-blue moonstone beads are set into silvertone and accented with a paved clear rhinestone leaf on the left; same style, in dark blue moonstone beads, on the right. 2" x 1 1/2" at widest points.
