Hi People after many years of establishing a retail Jewellery Business...I sold it ....ummummmumm..what is a person to do...Start an on line Business of course...so here goes this is going to be my blog to go with my lovely collection of vintage jewels I will be selling on Etsy (when I can work out how to use it) ... Lets add some photos dont you think .....?? I might go back through the archives and come up with some of the great stuff that I have had and some, still have ..ENJOY
Some of my favorites here ..beautiful Birmingham Silver and these are more like antique than vintage..All hallmarked with the Birmingham Anchor symbol around the time of WW1 ..I believe the horse shoe represented hope ... would have been needed at that time...
This Lovely big Horse Shoe is now in my personal collection ....
Look and weep ..its all mine ...inst it just lovely......!
Some of these pieces I still have and some belong to some lucky people that bought them in the last weeks before I sold my shop? If you want to know more there hallmark dates? size? ect Please contact me ..If I still have them they could be yours...
Oh How did that get in there !!!! Just liked the photo .Great composition ! Note to self get 11 year old son to do shoots for this blog.......Dfiler warhammer built by said son ...orrrrr
A very bad shoot of some very nice brooches ...these always proved to be a great style ..Made in Spain called Damasque (spelling?) very strong brass base with some beautiful gold plating with filigree work over the top , red and Black enamel feature...I think due to the fact that they have a traditional Spanish feel to them ...They always have a old gold look and age well...will be trying to hunt you up some more of these...
Another bad shoot of a great subject ....this is RuPaul named due to his obvious similarity to a stunning drag Queen ...irony a fish named after a Drag queen...getit..
Make it work Ru!
A great read ... Highly recommend...in a book shop near you...If not get them to get it in...

Yours truly in some of my Birmingham Collection....the second more shiny cuff is new ..I love these Buckle style bangles..Hint. If you are considering buying one on the internet the antique ones are often quite small ,make sure you have a good idea of the size of the wrist in question..
Now that is Vintage .....HI dad!!!(hes going to kill me)...
Another great shoot of some good vintage Hi Mum! Hi Marg!(I am so gonna Die)
Flower power .....Now what can I say about these beauties they are the anti-sis of my usual style but I wear them and love them...cheesy, funny, colorful . I have seen and sold a few lately that I think are not old but a newer repo make ...these can be easy distinguished by there very clean new looking enamel and the sparkly plastic stones in the center.
this green one I think is new...but the white with the spot is an old one...of course this is just my opinion .
OH no dont cry ..my lovely chandelier in my old shop ....I do love it and it will always be mine ..in my heart. as long it is still there when I am an old lady I will be happy..
A great Tarot card .....reminds me of the chandelier
What a lovely Pair !
