Walked away with this beauty first stop of the day :) Hangtag marked Whiting Davis and internet search shows that this is from the 60's and that I am missing the earrings that go with it---oh well, gives me something to keep my eyes out for! Although my crappy photography skills did not capture it, the cameo is irridescent and beautiful. Hopefully one of these shots will show the true beauty.

Thanks for the love officialfuel!
Appreciate the love cindyjune!
My wife started collecting Whiting-Davis jewelry about two years ago after seeing a necklace in a local antique store. Since then, she has collected several necklaces, bracelets, earrings and broaches. Hard to find Whiting-Davis around Oklahoma, but the search is as fun as the finding.
I completely agree Roy. I love the hunt just as much as the finding :)
