    I m a hoarder. And when I find these milk glass necklaces I just have to take them home.
    I noticed Valentino has shown a similar one together with the green pyramid glass necklace.
    My collection started with the colorful one I show in the first picture. I bought it from a lady who had collected only necklaces and she was getting rid of them. I bought it for two euro and I didn't even know it was glass. I bought the other ones in flea markets.
    I think they are from the thirties to the sixties or something. Does anyone have an idea why I find so many of them? It seems every lady had one or more of these milk glass necklaces in her jewerly box. Where they used for marriage or something?
    Thanks a lot!

      Thanks valentino, Agram, Sean68 and mustangtony for loving my necklaces.

      Valentino, you could be right. But I find 2 things on every flea market I go to: these simple white milk glass necklaces and simple black jet necklaces. Everyone seemed to have those in the old days. The black jet necklaces are for mourning, thats why I think these white ones are for marriage or a feast we know and I could translate as 'communion'. Its a festivity for every christian child. You get dressed in white and you have to go to church. Dont ask me what exactly the meaning of this festivity is, I m not baptised.

      Newtimes, are you talking about "baptism"?
    5. Newtimes Newtimes, 11 years ago
      No davyd286 communion is when you are 6 and when you are 12 years old. Baptism is when you are a baby.
