I think this brooch is probably from the WWII years in the early 1940s. The metal is silver colored- not Sterling, but likely pot metal. The sailor appears to be saluting as his lady watcg=hes holding her fan. Their faces are faceted aqua glass and his shirt and her hate have clear rhinestone decorations. The figures are 2" high and the chatelaine chain i 5". They are in good condition for the age in which they were made and adorable when worn. They are nor marked.

I've had this chatelaine a number of years and have always enjoyed it. The palm tree is 2 1/2" tall ad 1 1/4" wide with blue and clear rhinestone decoration.

That piece is aboou 1 1/4" x 1 1/4" and the chains are about 7" long. The piece has a heavy gold plate and it is in excellent condition...

This is an unusual Hobe set - gold colored filigree metal with plastic orange stones, and white faceted round stones.

The matching earrings are clips and each one is 1 1/4" long with some of the same elements found in the brooch. The set is in very good condition and only the brooch is marked as shown.

This is an unusual set that I have had for years and kept because it is so unusual.

The metal is rhodium plated so it is bright shiny silver. The matching earrings are clips - sort of half circles that imitate the brooch.

The back clip is tight and it has "teeth" to hold onto the fabric. It is in very good condition considering its age, with only two rhinestones that I see that have darkened. It is not maarked.

Think spring - after all, it will eventually, and in the meantime you can warm up thinking about it with these earrings.

This was a "must" for every well-dressed woman in the middle of the last century - a lovely pearl necklace, and since most could not afford the real thing, many companies made quality glass pearls,hand knotted between each pearl to make them lie better, and look more real.

I think this is one of the prettier thermoset necklaces that I have seen because of the rhinestone triangles between the links. They really set off the red and gold.

The matching earrings are clips and each one i 1 1/4" long. The set is in very good condition and it is not marked.
