  1. 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...
  2. 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...
  3. Many thanks to Jenni, Daisy1000 and Raven3766 for giving these brooches your love. So nice to hear from you!

  5. 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. ...
  6. High quality has staying power. You pay for the design, construction and quality! So it lasts and looks fabulous for decades. Awesome!
  7. 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...
  8. Jenni, I knew Searching1 had left, but I was surprised MsCrystalship had also. Thanks again and best to you for a wonderful holiday! Maureen
  9. 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.
  10. 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...
  11. 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...
  12. That's an unusual design. So sculptural! Just love it!!!
  13. 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!
  14. 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...

  26. Apostata, thank you for loving this brooch and weighing in on the historical period. Very good point, there is always overlap and borrowing.
  27. That's a gorgeous snowflake brooch on the left. It looks like an unsigned Schreiner. Wow! Wonderful and if verified worth $$$! Enjoy!
  28. Searching1 Thank you! That's exactly how I felt when I found it. Sadly this thrift closed 5 or 6 years ago. It was a fabulous place while it lasted. Thanks for the love, too. And to the collectors...
  29. Beautiful micro mosaics! I'm wondering if the the bottom one is a reconstructed Parthenon? The remains don't have their end triangular lintels currently, but basically it was that shaped building.
  30. Just found a beautiful brooch by this maker. This is a lovely example of his work. So elegant, I had to love it!
  31. Thank you Searching1 for the love and compliment. Trifari really had topnotch design and production. I think I'll try wearing this with the back as the front. Love Trifari! And thanks for the lov...

  35. LaurenRedmond Spaniels are so sweet. They do have a way of communicating! I had a cocker spaniel growing up. Now I have a terrier mix who has floppy spaniel ears.

  47. Eileen, Thank you for the love and comment. I was also happily surprised at the condition of the pieces. Baby tooth Sorrento Trifari pieces are exorbitant. I wonder how many people actual pay that muc...
