Hit one of my favorite thrift stores today and scored! Found a pair of vintage Boucher seen in the first 2 pic's. A really beautiful design, quality stones and construction. Boucher is super hard to find in my area so I am very happy to have this pair of earrings, now if I could find the matching brooch or necklace! I also scored with the red pair, signed Weiss. I know that there is a matching bracelet for these & hopefully I will find it soon.
Thanks for looking.
Costume Jewelry EarringsEarrings are the ultimate eye-catchers, and sparkly vintage costume jewelry…
Love when the thrift store holds treasures! Happening less and less often in these parts unfortunately. Nice finds!
Thanks for the love everyone.
Lucky lady, great finds... Wish I could find things like this Australian thrift stores..
Fabulous :)
Hey :) I love! Whenever my Grandmother would clean out a closet or dresser she would put everything on a bed in my Aunts old room as "up for grabs" to anyone who wanted anything. You never knew when she would clean out, so whoever was around at that moment would get first choice. It was so fun "shopping" on the bed while my cousins were playing Nintendo. Nobody ever wanted anything, so I'd get it by default & feel like I won the lottery! I remember taking home costume jewelry, compacts, dresses & furs, and little wooden boxes, tablecloths & napkins, bowls, figurines...I'd play & decorate my room, glue the rhinestones onto Barbi, cut up the dresses and rugs...OOOps. I cringe thinking about it... If my sister visits, I hate the interrogation, "Where'd you get that? How long have you had that?" and I have to say,"Off the bed" or, "Out of the garage box" and explain that it was 25 years ago & I was in elementary school! I just happened to save EVERY thing that came from the bed or box :) I didn't realize until years later how lucky I was! I picked a set of earrings and pin EXACTLY like your first pair and still have them. I took a closer look at them recently & thought how nice they were and was wondering what the purple stones were made of, Do you think they are Glass? I don't know much about costume jewelry, but from whatever era these are from, they are very well made to have survived my "jewelery operations" and are still very stunning!
