Bliss St. and Indigo Heirlooms

Rich in color, Rich in style. These 1950′s screw back-clips are pure art deco grace.

Size: 1 3/8-in long
Metal: gold tone
circa: 1950′s
Provenance: Vintage

a 20 and 24 inch double strand faux pearl necklace with a glass cameo clasp. The necklace unclasps to leave the glass cameo as a stand alone pin. The pin itself has a German made glass cameo surrounded by small rhinestones

This double strand of pearls came to me in a Majorica case. I do not see any marks clasp or pin. Because of that I do not feel comfortable calling them Majorica pearls. I will however pass along the case to whoever wants to add this to their collection. This is a quality strand.

Size: 24in long
Metal: base
Circa: late 1950′s
Marked:none
Origin: glass cameo German, pearls unknown. .

Paste was imitation diamonds these screw backs feature a deep rich purple stone and paste dazzlers surrounding it. As with some paste the there is some yellowing that doesn’t take away from the over all effect but definately says “look I’m vintage.”

Each earring measures 1 1/8-in by 1in.

I would say this was steampunk before steampunk was cool but when wasn’t it? Vernians were probably the first to love the style. They were before their time.

It was the eighties, steampunk wasn’t called steampunk yet and I bought this pin and quite a few other pieces from an artist who made them. (another is listed on etsy)

This unsigned handmade artist clock pin measures 1 3/4-in by 1 1/2-in.

Sparkle Sparkle Sparkle, that’s what you will do when you walk into a room. No one will mistake this for a diamond bracelet in the daylight but who goes to a party in the daylight? This bracelet is eye catching so if you want to be a wall flower then don’t buy it.

Size: 6 1/2 inches long. that is 1/2 in shorter than average so get out those strings! and Measure!!!

Circa: 1950′s of course
