Avon Elegance Vintage Purse Atomizer Perfume Spray

$45 USDAvon Elegance Vintage Purse Atomizer Perfume Spray

Collectibles:Vanity Items:Avon:Elegance:Perfume:Purse:Atomizer:Spray:Vintage:Boxed:Unused
Elegance by Avon was first launched in 1956 and is now discontinued. This enameled metal Perfume Atomizer Spray for the Purse is still in the original box, and I believe it has never been used - except when I just tried it out! There was air in the tube when I first depressed the top, and shaking the container, it seems to be pretty full. The Avon Leaflet is still present in the box, and from the graphics on the leaflet, I would guess that the Atomizer dates from the 1970's - but that is just a ...

With a scalloped edge and safety chain, the Bracelet is in the Victorian style which had a revival in popularity in the 40's. The Bracelet is in a rich rose gold finish, but not gold.

Fabulous Vintage Aurora Borealis Crystal Bead 2 Strand Necklace

$110 USDFabulous Vintage Aurora Borealis Crystal Bead 2 Strand Necklace

Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Vintage:Aurora Borealis:Crystal:Necklace:Signed
This has to be the best Aurora Borealis Crystal Bead Necklace that I have ever seen! The Aurora Borealis coating on the faceted beads has a dark metallic appearance so that the vivid colors reflected are just fabulous. The coating causes the crystal beads to appear to be a smoky gray color, but they are in fact clear. As was common with these beads, the coating is on one side of each bead. Dating to the 1950's, the Necklace is marked on the clasp 'Hong Kong'. The shortest strand of the Necklace ...

Vintage Italian Faux Pearl Pendant Clip Earrings

$36 USD Offers ConsideredVintage Italian Faux Pearl Pendant Clip Earrings

Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Vintage:Faux Pearl:Pendant:Earrings:Signed:Italy
A lovely pair of vintage Faux Pearl Pendant Clip Earrings which are signed on one clip 'Italy'. The faux pearl beads have the appearance of pearl lined beads, as there seems to be a coating over the pearl surface, but there is a small defect on one of the pendants which can be slightly felt when running a finger over it, so the pearl effect is not on the inside of the beads. Due to the weight of the earrings, I do feel that they are glass inside, but the protective coating on the outside has a ...

Large Antique Silver and Genuine Amber 'Hugs and Kisses' Brooch

$125 USD Offers ConsideredLarge Antique Silver and Genuine Amber 'Hugs and Kisses' Brooch

Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling:Antique:Amber:Brooch
A beautiful large antique Silver Brooch set with 3 carved Amber cabochons, which, with the design of the silver and arrangement of the amber, reminds me of the hugs and kisses symbols. The Brooch is marked on the reverse '835' so is a lower standard of silver than Sterling. Unfortunately there is no maker's mark or indication of the country of origin, but from the style I would think that it is from one of the Scandinavian countries. The Brooch measures 2 7/8 inches across and a fraction over 3 ...

Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Sterling Silver:French:Paste:Galleon:Ship:Brooch
A stunning antique Silver Brooch shaped as a Spanish Galleon and set with the most remarkable Ruby and Clear Paste stones. The antique Paste stones are so beautiful, made to come to life in the poor light of candles so that they looked like real Diamonds and Rubies, the dimmer the light, the more these sparkle!
