I wanted to show some of my recent Jewelry finds, but one thing lead to another . . . I'll try to break it down into smaller groups, and if you have a Favorite, let me know and I'll show one , , , or two pieces closer and with more information if I have it!
I really like these new pieces that I've been finding, and think that I'm finding more Jewelry, because less space is needed to Collect it! :^D
I started with all the New Jewelry Finds, narrowed in, and then the select group, front and back. I think I can show all of it in two more posts, but I can pull a couple, if you want, and show them first!
A little information, there's Brooches, 2 Necklaces, 2 Bracelets, 2 Lockets, a Belt Buckle, a Belt-Buddy Pocket Watch Chain, a Button Hook a Nambe Nut Dish, and a Black Rock with Gold Fish. There's Sterling Silver, Mixed Metals, Gold Overlay, and Costume Jewelry, and lots of Rhinestones! :^D
I hope you enjoy this quick peek, but Bowling Calls! I'll be back later today, with another select group, and maybe some answers to questions!
Thanks for looking, and all comments are welcome! :^)
I love the turquoise pendant, of course!!!
Ken, I'm glad you stopped by to check these new Jewelry finds out! I really like that Flower Brooch too, and I think that my Sister might want to grab it up also! :^D That Twisted Leaf is Trifari, I'll show it better in the next group post! Thank you for your comment! :^D
Thank you shareurpassion, I think that's an older piece, I haven't had a chance to check it out, there's no marks on it, but it is a beauty! I have close-ups to show it better! :^D
Thanks much for the love that you all brought,

and Karen, it's always nice to receive! :^)
You got some nice pieces, Bill!
Thank you Mrstyndall, it's sure been fun finding them! :^D
Thanks for the love that you gave also! :^)
Thanks for a second look Kevin, and another love! :^)
Thank you Eileen, I took all the photos, day before yesterday, and tried to get different angles, and tighter group shots, but with no real plan on how I was going to post, a normal 4-5 photos, became 26 not including the magnified Pendent photos. I didn't get some of the Pieces into the same group shots, so they were kind of left out of the Closer Look Posts. The cute little Birdie in the Nest, is a "Direction One" piece, and seems to be a popular little Brooch on line, with a range of prices, and a good one for all ages too! It's cute on a Nick-Knack shelf too :^D
Thanks for the love that you both brought, Pascale, and Eileen, it appreciated! :^)
How did you sneak in here my#1 Mary? Thank you so much! :^D Someday when You and Eileen get together, and make a trip up here, we could get all our keen eyes together and be a Menace at the Flea Markets, and Thrifts in the area! Now that would be a fun time, almost like a Scavenger Hunt! B^o B^O B^D
Thanks for the love too, my#1 Mary! :^)
Okay I posted a comment on another post about that blue leaf with red accents brooch. Now I see it much more clearly. Gorgeous. I also love that bird next. That's adorable. Great finds!
Is the crescent brooch angel skin corral? One of my favourites of your splendid collection. Other ones I could run off with - the silver man with a boy in front of him. It is signed but I can't read it - the square locket - the lovely wire angel. Oh, and all the rest of your pieces.
Thank you Maureen, there's a better one now, that you can see in my Newest Post! The little Bird in Nest is "Direction One"! :^D
Very nice of you Gillian, I'm hooked on those little Lingerie Brooches too, maybe just because of what they are! ;^} Oh! Pretty and Delicate Pins! :^D The Silver Man and Child Brooch is marked Laurel Buick? with 2 small Hallmarks that I cant see, I haven't had a chance to research it yet, sorry! I have a close-up of the little Girl in the newest Closer Look!
Thank you for looking and the love that you gave, aura, Manikin, and Maureen! :^)
I'm off to Bowling! See ya! :^)
@ Gillian
I found out about the "Man and Child Brooch", it's actually a Laurel Burch Design, from the 1970's, dated by the Signature on the back.
Laurel Burch started her Art Work and Jewelry in the 1960's, and the Company is based in the San Francisco Bay Area, and Run by Daughter now, and still making Jewelry Inspired by her Mother, that died 09/13/2007, of a rare bone disease, here's a link to their company site:

I hope this helps! :^)
Here's another site that helped in research of the Laurel Burch mark, and signature, and I think I'll be using it a lot now that I know about it!:
