    katherines…
    (247 items)

    Since it seems the jewelry people are about, thought I would post these pretties. As near as I can recall, got them in a yard sale about 20, 30 years ago. No markings. The first one, the gilt is flaking off, unfortunately. The second one, there are a few stones missing. The third, one stone is missing. One and three are AB, so post mid-50s. I've researched them off and on over the years and can't find any matches. I've seen the pink one in different colors multiple times but either misidentified as Weiss, or unidentified. Any information, ideas, guesses, suggestions, tips, recipes, lol, welcome. Hope you enjoy looking at these, I know I do!

      I love pink and I'm really drawn to the beautiful Butterfly.
    8. katherinescollections katherinescollections, 9 years ago
      Thanks for the love, Peasejean55. :)

      Peasejean, pinks are a favorite of mine, too, especially these bright fuschia pinks. Glad you like the butterfly! :)

      Thanks for the love, PhilDavidAlexanderMorris. :)

      Cindy, I missed your comment earlier, thank you for the compliment, my dear! :)

      We need to check with Kyratango how to fix gilt. Gold nail polish? I do really like that round brooch..... and of course the flutterby!
    11. katherinescollections katherinescollections, 9 years ago
      Thanks for the love, surfdub66. :)

      Thanks, racer4four, kyra is the bomb jewelry saver for sure. Yes, the round brooch is a real beauty, the mix of silver gilt, pearls and AB is quite appealing. As for the flutterby, this particular design is very lovable, I think. :)

      Hi friends! I'm grateful for your compliment about salving works ;-)
      I'm not a costume jewellery specialist and didn't face to flaking gilding, but on this I wouldn't use nail polish! It would spread anywhere around the stones...
      When I bought the Medaillion liquid silver, I saw this:

      Don't know at all if it will work on the round brooch, and above all if it won't ruin the aurora borealis coat....

      Hi Kyra,
      A friend of mine bought that kit. She said it was good for some pieces but not all... Apparently there is a bit of buffing involved too... The video makes it look so much easier than my friend told me.
    14. DrFluffy DrFluffy, 9 years ago
      I am thinking about getting it and giving it a try.
    15. DrFluffy DrFluffy, 9 years ago
      Kyra... What is SUDE FRANCE?
    16. kyratango kyratango, 9 years ago
      UUh, in what subject? Could it be South of France?
    17. DrFluffy DrFluffy, 9 years ago
      I bought a really gorgeous brooch... It's a flying bird and on the bottom it says: SUDE FRANCE... I wanted to do some research before posting it.
      Katherine... Sorry, we have hijacked your post...
    18. kyratango kyratango, 9 years ago
      never heard of it, search gave nothing on my google...
      Sorry Katherine! ;-)

      Yes mam your broachs are made by MIRACLE JEWELRY CO. I have a multicolored one and love it.Always look at tip of prongs you'll see an M which stands for Miracle.
    26. katherinescollections katherinescollections, 8 years ago
      Thanks for the love, aura. :)

      Thank you for that information, bronzelover, next time I have the brooches out where I can see them, I will look for that hallmark. I own a pendant made by Miracle, that is clearly stamped, didn't know about the other style hallmark. :)
