    Early Jomaz Glass Belly Birds on a Rhinestone Perch Pin

    This pin is so cute! Two love birds, sitting on a perch of clear marquise cut and round rhinestones. One bird even appears to be singing to the other. The birds have pink glass bellies and green rhinestone eyes. The metal is rhodium plated and gold plated. The hallmark appears on the reverse.

    Condition: Excellent vintage. Tiny spot of wear on the reverse in the setting where one glass cabochon is sitting.

    Measurements: 1 7/8" wide and 1 1/2" long.

  • Unsigned Vintage Costume    


  • Unsigned beauties make up a good portion of our amazing costume jewelry offerings. You can see more at our on-line jewelry store. As you may know not all designers stamped their creations with a hallmark or makers mark. Many used paper or metal hang tags, some were put on cards bearing the name of the maker and others were never marked in any way at all. Hang tags were removed, original cards were thrown away so the identity of the maker is lost.  A great example is D&E Juliana. 

    When you are looking at a particularly well made piece of vintage costume jewelry and you can't find a mark, you never know! Some items can be attributed by the way they are constructed or by the materials and techniques used. Some designers/manufactures used techniques that set their designs apart from others, such as the Sherman "hook and eye" construction. Miriam Haskell used a certain type of pearl and distinctive stampings. Others may have used these techniques and items, but it is a good starting point.  

    Often times it is possible to find your item in a costume jewelry book or magazine ad. Investing in several costume jewelry books will pay off in the long run. 

    It is also possible to attribute a piece of jewelry by finding it's mates. Again D&E Juliana comes to mind. We know that the five link bracelet is a design technique that was used by De Lizza and Elster. If you have a pair of earrings or a brooch that is a match for one of their bracelets you can safely attribute the item to D&E.

    Follow these links to our Collecting Costume Jewelry Page or our About Costume Jewelry Page for additional fun stuff about costume jewelry.

    Vintage Florenza Brooch

    TLC-This exceptional brooch features a large faux turquoise center with faux seed pearls and seed beads in an intricate antique finish gold tone setting. This brooch is similar to one I saw in Marcia Brown’s book Signed Beauties of Costume Jewelry on pg.124, except this brooch is circular without the points the Florenza in her book has. My mother-in-law purchased this brooch over 50 years ago. Signed on the back.

    Condition: TLC Good. This brooch needs to have eight of the twenty-eight seed beads and pearls replaced. Easy fix! The pin stem is also a little bent. It does still work however. Measurements: 1 1/4" in diameter
