  1. Kyra, I love the restorations that you do. I have a bug that I posted a while ago that has deep chips in the enamel. How did you do the white fill on the wings? Did you use the ecoline inks for the ...
  2. I love Florenza designs! Very beautiful!
  3. That looks like Shreiner! The long rope construction was a distinctive Schreiner method. Also if I could see the side of the earring it clip it might give a clue also. The open space between the stone...
  4. Hi Welcome to CW. What a fabulous set! This set is on page 199 in the book: Schreiner - Master of 20th-Century Costume Jewelry" by Carole Tanenbaum and Eve Townsend. The brooch is on schreinery.com,...
  5. There is a book Star spangled Jewelry with patriotic jewelry, but lots of costume jewelry also include some patriotic jewels. Good luck on your search. Happy 4th of July!!
  6. PhilDMorris - thanks for clarifying where the company was. This really such a high wattage AB confection from when AB rhinestones were all the rage. Always fun to find a new company. And collectors...
  7. PhilDMorris Thatnks for the love and comment! I always enjoy your posts. And collectors who have have loved this Julinan brooch, thank you for the love! dav2no1 BHIFOS fortapache vetraio50 Ne...
  8. Gorgeous! and Welcome to Collectors' Weekly!
  9. Hello PhilDMorris, as an expert on Canadian rhinestone jewelry would you take a look at my latest post? I have found contradictory evidence as to whether the company that made it is Canadian or Engli...
  10. I think that is Israeli. Look at the mark under the 925. I think it says Israel in Hebrew. Israeli jewelry often has English marks also, hence the S mark. Really gorgeous necklace.

  12. Hi PhilDMorris - Thanks for loving my cameo post!
  13. PhilDMorris - Many thanks for your insightful comment. The stones are gorgeous. I read somewhere that Sherman once considered having Schreiner manufacture some of Sherman's pieces. This didn't go thro...
  14. Hi dali 19 Given the design and construction of this ring, my guess is that this ring is Israeli. The age would be 1940s to early 1950s. It is most probably sterling. The fact that it was so tarnishe...
  15. Phil - Thank you for the kind comment and love for this cameo. It is always a surprise to find an affordable cameo. I prefer the scenic ones as I find the portrait ladies somewhat repetitive. Than...
  16. I have never seen this brooch with colorful stones, only the clear stone version. So bright, love color!
  17. Jenni, Thanks for noticing this set and sending it up with some. Dejavu2 - I totally agree. I thought this post would garner more attention but it hasn't. I think it is beautiful too. PhilDMorris -...
  18. Jenni, Thanks for stopping by and loving this turtle - member of your zebra's Ark Series. I haven't seen any more from this series. I would love the tiger and any other animal! Thanks collectors for ...
  19. Jenni Love this zebra. I have the turtle from this series. The zebra is totally elegant. Awesome find!
  20. I love that necklace! Beautiful!
  21. The symbol is a hamsa, a good luck amulet. Article on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamsa
  22. 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...
  23. 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: ...
  24. Thank you Deja Vu2. I keep finding myself gravitating to the clear rhinestones, especially in winter. They seem so frosty to me.
  25. A wonderful example of ethnic/artisan jewelry. So much detail. I'm with you as I love this style, too.
  26. I love flower baskets. Not familiar with Dorothy Bauer and I've never found it here. This is a beautiful example!
  27. Totally Gorgeous!
  28. 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...
  29. 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.
  30. 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...
  31. 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...
  32. 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. ...
  33. 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...
  34. DejaVu2 -I don't know the name for this design. I have never seen an ad for it. More research to do!
  35. 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...
  36. 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...
  37. 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...
  38. 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...
  39. 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
  40. 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!
  41. 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!
  42. 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...
  43. 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...
  44. 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...
  45. 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...
  46. 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...
  47. Many thanks to Jenni, Daisy1000 and Raven3766 for giving these brooches your love. So nice to hear from you!
  48. Jenni, Thanks for loving this brooch!
  49. 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. ...
  50. 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...
