  1. I love that necklace! Beautiful!
  2. The symbol is a hamsa, a good luck amulet. Article on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamsa
  3. DejaVu2 That's what I thought. I have looked around, but haven't found it signed, yet! Thanks for the love and comment. Also thank you collectors for the love! Newfld vetraio50 Vynil33rpm dav2n...
  4. DejaVu2, How fun is that ad! She's wearing it in her hair! The ad I saw was a newspaper and just had the item with others. Thanks for posting and loving it! And to those who have loved this one: ...
  5. Thank you Deja Vu2. I keep finding myself gravitating to the clear rhinestones, especially in winter. They seem so frosty to me.
  6. A wonderful example of ethnic/artisan jewelry. So much detail. I'm with you as I love this style, too.
  7. I love flower baskets. Not familiar with Dorothy Bauer and I've never found it here. This is a beautiful example!
  8. Totally Gorgeous!
  9. That greyhound/whippet is so adorable. I love little china dogs. How tall is this lovely statue? Do you have other china dogs? If so, I hope you'll post them. This one is just beautiful - fabulo...
  10. PhilDMorris - Thanks so much for the appreciative comment. I know you have a keen eye for quality! Best for Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
  11. DejaVu2- Thank you so much for the love and appreciative comments. I do feel so fortunate for the collection I have. When I first starting collecting years ago I found so much Trifari, I sold it quic...
  12. Hi DejaVu2. I was concerned about polishing this as I thought it might wear off more of the gold wash. Glad to know it can be restored if I ever have it done. Thanks for agreeing it is mistletoe. W...
  13. Hi DejaVu2, I haven't searched this one for current pricing. I know everything is up so I guess it is the way of the world now. I just wonder if collectors will still value this brand in the future. ...
  14. DejaVu2 - That is so true! The first clip I found was missing the clip mechanism and had a pin attached. It was at an estate sale and was only $2 and included 1 single intact earring. Then I found a e...
  15. DejaVu2 -I don't know the name for this design. I have never seen an ad for it. More research to do!
  16. DejaVu2 Thank you for your kind comments. I was thrilled to find these at various thrifts with in a short time of each other - quite awhile ago. I would just love to find the necklace but I doubt tha...
  17. DejaVu2 I'm surprised this is your favorite! It is rather petite but does have the 'real look.' This brooch was another rescue that looked awful - the stones not the pearls. I didn't really think I co...
  18. DejaVu2 Thank you! It took a while to do it. I like some of Trifari's 70s designs. I would love to find a Kunio Matsumoto necklace! Thanks for the love for this brooch. And thanks to the other coll...
  19. DejaVu2 - I totally agree. I just missed a Trifari pearl brooch at a local thrift. A design I don't have and don't need, but I love them all. They were very well designed and made. Many with some car...
  20. Thank you collectors for your love of this brooch. When you love an old post, it is such a pleasant surprise to see come up for new views. DejaVu2 Dawnlady1 Daisy1000
  21. DejaVu2 - thanks for loving so many of my posts. You remind me I haven't posted in awhile. I know you have an extensive Trifari collection, do you have this brooch? I know it came several colors!
  22. DejaVu2 Thanks for the love! I know you are an avid Trifari collector so I always like to see what you post and appreciate the love for my posts. Happy Holidays to all!
  23. This brooch gets a look and a love at this time of the year. No surprise I guess given its brilliant green and wreath shape. I haven't been paying attention and more collectors have come by. I'd like...
  24. Elainep, I totally agree. I find vintage jewelry like Trifari makes me want to wear an elegant gabardine suit. I don't have one and even if I did, I have no where to wear it, but I can imagine it when...
  25. France is the signature of the artist Robert W. France. He had a porcelain painting studio in Chicago from 1906 to 1916. He was born in New York in 1870. Pitkin and Brooks was an importer of the whit...
  26. Thank you for loving my brooch. Trifari made so many pearl broches, that I guess they get a bit mundane. I'm always thrilled to find one. Thanks vetraio50, DejaVu2, Jenni, fortapache, Watchsearcher, d...
  27. I really haven't been paying attention. All you collectors giving my necklace a love and I haven't responded. Thanks Eileen for checking in with a comment and to Jenni and RichmondLori, racer4four, an...
  28. Many thanks to Jenni, Daisy1000 and Raven3766 for giving these brooches your love. So nice to hear from you!
  29. Jenni, Thanks for loving this brooch!
  30. Jenni, So true, I would love to have a dress for it and an occasion for both! Thanks for the love and comment! Eileen, I am not sure I know the difference between a second hand shop and a thrift. ...
  31. Hi TD1290 and PHeobe1980, Is it Schreiner? There are several Schreiner characteristics that say it could be. They are the white cabochons set with dog tooth prongs, rhinestones on wire stems and if I...
  32. Jenni, I knew Searching1 had left, but I was surprised MsCrystalship had also. Thanks again and best to you for a wonderful holiday! Maureen
  33. Newfld, Thanks for loving my big cat! Have you noticed that McCrystalShip has not been on CW for quite awhile and I can't find her posts. Has she left CW? I hope she's okay.
  34. DejaVu2 Since you posted that ad on another post, I searched a bunch of them. I see this brooch figures prominently in an add from 1961, as seen here: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/823666219334439325...
  35. Hi DejaVu2! Thank you for posting the ad and the love! I see this brooch is from the Pirouette series. I also have the Stardust bracelet. So fun to see the ads. This add says it is from 1954(looking a...
  36. That's an unusual design. So sculptural! Just love it!!!
  37. Hi Jenni, Thanks for the comment, love,and news. Too bad as searching1 was an enthusiastic poster. Also thanks to vetraio50 fortapache dav2no1 Watchsearcher for the love!
  38. No doubt about it! They are on the schreinery.com website as verified Schreiner. And the photo reference there is from Caole Tanenbaum, who wrote the book on Schreiner. What fabulous colors! Great fin...

  40. Searching1 My collection is not for sale, it is against the rules to post items here that are for sale on other platforms. Besides, I enjoy them too much to sell them:) Thanks Dawnlady1, I really ...
  41. Searching1 The short answer is yes! My photos from my collection. Why do you ask?
  42. Thanks collectors for loving this Nippon Vase. Do you collect Nippon. I often see the little plates but rarely do I see the big vases. Daisy1000 SpiritBear kivatinitz Newfld fortapache Watchsea...

  46. Awesome fur clip! And even more special as it is an inheritance. Welcome to CW, hope you'll post more treasures.
  47. Thank you maryh1956 and vetraio50 for the resources on dating and identifying this porcelain. You know such much about antiques! Also thanks for the love from these collectors. I love hearing from ...
