I purchased a junk lot from Ebay and these are some of the pieces. Not sure that they are really junk--maybe to the seller they were though. Beautiful wire wrapped trio of leaves, a goldtone blue faceted glasss pin, a 1930's tie clip, and a brooch with opalescent looking stones and fragments of red rhinestones. The gold/brass looking large brooch reminds me almost of a drawer pull that someone liked and added the pin to the back? The blue glass brooch is very heavy and the stone is gorgeous!
The other brooch I have singled out because I have not come across that type of clasp before. It almost looks like it split into two. Any idea what that type is called?
I have a few pieces made in Austria and W.Germany that have the same type of c-clasp. As well as the stabilization bar, which often indicates a quality piece. Not bad for a Ebay "junk lot".
Appreciate all the loves!
