Glass earrings made in England (vintage - not antique)

    I have found some online pages with information about F. Lampl and J. Berger's Bimini Ltd. (later called Orplid) decorative glass and buttons, but have found no examples of earrings, or any other jewelry, for that matter, to determine the desirability of of such items to aid me in pricing. Since these are from after the move to England, I'm guessing from the very late 30's or 40's as the time period.

    Is anyone familiar with Bimini Ltd. jewelry from this period?

    Here are mine:

    The value may be more to a glass collector than a jewellery one. That's certainly why I'd be interested in them - it's the history, and the fact it was a London maker. I don't think they're showy enough to appeal to a vintage jools bunny.

    I presume you found this: http://www.theglassmuseum.com/bimini.htm

    Angela Bowey runs glassmessages so this is a very definitive account.

    You might look for the hatpins, or perhaps base the value on buttons. I've no clue what they're worth. Let me know if you list them, hm?

    Thank you, OBB ... yes, I had looked at that page - it had the most information that I've found yet on this glass.
    I agree about what type of collector will be drawn to these (and I like your term "vintage jools bunny" :) ) ... I was figuring that they would probably appeal to a button collector. Don't expect to list these right away, but when I do, I'll let you know.
