Fuschia feathers, pearls, chains and a #7




This is one of two feather and coconut-shell creations that were salvaged from a carry bag.
The chains are stainless steel and the pearls are faux. The number 7 is from the 1950s. Each length of chain measures 18cms from the link at the back of the neck to the front. The central coconut and feather creation is 11cms wide, at the widest point and 13cms long from the lowest point in the arc to the bottom of the silver tassle. Like it?

West German glass flowers

SORRY, THIS ITEM IS SOLD





Formerly clip-on earrings, I discovered about 20 pairs of these fabulous glass flowers in Sydney's Photios Bros. The ''clip-ons'' have been removed, and the flowers have been joined by a gorgeous glass diamond-look brooch, early plastic red gem-cut beads and glass seed beads as a ''chain''. The necklace is 46cm long, the glass flowers are about 3cm across and the ''diamond'' cluster is 2.8cm across. Nylon-coated wire and stainless steel links keep it together. Like it?

Multi-coloured plastic bakelite buckles & buttons






Made from a variety of reused buckles, buttons and circles, it is the large vintage buckles that make this a distinctive piece. The necklace is 60cm long, features a duffle-coat toggle closure, the red buckle is 8.5cm long by 5.5cm across and it is linked by stainless steel rings. Like it?

Multi-coloured plastic beads and circles necklace






This piece is made from abacus beads and plastic circles, a duffle-coat toggle fixes it at the back of the neck. It is 60cm long and the large orange and red circles have a diameter of 6cm.
It is fixed with stainless steel links and nylon-covered wire. Like it? Then post a comment or email here and I'll get back to you straight away.
