Wooden Beaded Fringe Collar Necklace |
There's a touch of Egypt in this circa 1930's fringe necklace. A double layer of ivory celluloid links are bound together with brass rings to form a flat collar on which colorful beaded fringe dangles. Just loaded with beads of natural wood and painted red, green, blue, yellow, black and gray, this is a playful, yet sophisticated example of art deco costume jewelry, covertly influenced by the Cleoptraesque resurgence of it's time of origin. Each dangling set of beads, measuring 3/4" long, consists of a barrel-shaped bead and is capped with a little round bead of a different color and attached to the collar with brass hardware. Measures 16" long and closes with an old spring ring clasp. The
celluloid double link collar measures 3/4" wide. The collar along with the
beads measures 1 1/2" total. A truly fab necklace of mixed media and mixed inspiration, all wrapped up into a must have and wearable collectible. This beauty, although gently worn over the years, does have some typical wear to a few of the beads, to be expected, and is still in very good condition and ready to show off to the world again!

Pair of Art Deco Glitter Celluloid Pins with Citrine Stones |
Geometric lines and a fabulous color combination make this pair something special. Think fall, think leaves changing colors, think cinnamon and spices wafting from the oven as the smells of
home cooked love permeate the crisp and clean air. And then think of how good you'll look with these pinned onto your favorite
just-starting-to-get-cool-weather jacket or lapel. Circa 1925. Don't adjust your monitors folks...that little bit of bluish-green on the pin on the right is some unfortunate damage...but I wouldn't dream of splitting up this duo. Each pin measures just under 2 1/2" long and they both close with an old C-clasp.

Front slides away to reveal a compact mirror which measures 1 1/2" in diameter. Heart measures 2 1/2" long by 2 1/2" wide.
