Hi all! Wanted to share my vintage Vogue set. The earrings are marked but the bracelet and necklace are not. I have some questions:
1) Age?
2) Earrings: Notice the back of one didn't get the same treatment as the other one - or did it wear off?
3) What is this style called?
Also, my last picture is just a fun picture of all of my jewelry sorting. I finally got around to it. Much of this belonged to relatives (mom, aunt, grandma, etc). Unfortunately quite a view of the nice costume earrings had a missing partner and some jewelry had missing rhinestones. Don't know what to do with those, lol.
All comments are welcome!
Sincerely, Robin
Beautiful... I also really like what's happening in the last picture. :)
Oh and to answer your questions:
It's very common for sets to have some signed and some unsigned. Those might have had tags that are no longer attached.
This type of earrings are called cluster earrings, very popular in the 50s.
Thank you! That took me a good 3 full days to sort. :)
I have in another posts about my time when and friend and I bought 40 moving boxes full of jewelry at once... It was crazy... It took us about 3 months or so to go thru everything. Very similar to your last picture. I was working at that time too... So it was just every free minute I got to go and look thru... We had something like few thousand single earrings to mate up, at the end we ended up with a box full of singles too....
I sold much of it to recover my original cost. But I also kept some of the great pieces for myself... Some of which are posted here.
DrFluffy, that's so awesome! Yeah, that's what I'm going to do. I don't wear much of it and we're prepping for a move. My favorite (sentimental value) pieces I'm going to keep.
OMG, that last table ... I am speechless.
Oh, and the Vogue set is to die for.
Thank you all so much for your generous comments! Valentino, which one are you talking about? Phil, that's very good to know! If I have a bead bracelet or necklace, I should just search signed earrings to see if I can find a match. Katherine, that table just shows how lazy I've been for all of these years, lol!!
