These were my mother's (along with a lot more), she loved Rhinestone costume jewelry. She got them in the early 1950's.
They are all in great shape, no stone's missing. The bracelet is an expandable type. The broach has 5 dangling sets of stones.
She used to shop at Winkelman's, an upscale women's store, so they may of been purchased there.
Anyone know anything about vintage rhinestone jewelry ?
I'd like to know about this also. I have a bracelet like yours and also a rhinestone necklace that is in great shape.
I would guess that the bracelet was made in Japan. If you stretch it out look at the inside all the way around I'm sure you will find it marked I have seen 100's of these and have one myself. The brooch is a great piece would love to see the back side that would help with trying to get you the info your looking for.Happy hunting!
vintagemad, I stretched out the bracelet & all it says is "stainless steel back".
The back of the brooch has nothing on it at all.
I love anything that flashes! I have a bracelet like yours. Only mine has three rows not five like yours, when I stretch it all the way it doesn't have any markings. FYI Bubba
