Featured Talk about surprises - pot metal and rhinestone sold for HOW much?

Blimey. Nice one!

 

Congratulations!

I sometimes think @Aznathalie has a photographic memory. She certainly has great jewellery knowledge and can ID almost anything.

So I too searched DUJAy just so I know what to look for. The good news is that I would pick up any one of those I saw, even with out finding a signature. Quality designs. It's like Joan Rivers jewelry - all the pieces I have found I picked up because of the quality of design and later found the rivers mark.

 

I've done that. Grabbed a JR egg once for a mere pound.

 

When Ebay doesn't kick you in the gut-it sometimes makes magic ! That's why we keep up the love/hate relationship with it.

 

These ring a bell, off the check the hoard, maybe not the real ones though. Thanks for posting this @evelyb30 and @Aznathalie.

 

On Etsy-
'Dujay Floral Tracery Sterling Bangle Bracelet (Gb5)Price: $5,525.00' -yikes.

 

Enamel pot metal floral brooch found, alas marked Exquisite

 

Otherwise known as e$pensive??? The bangle would indeed be worth a pile, if not what the seller wants. Glued stones and cold enamel are easily destoyed. I doubt there are many bangles still around.

 

Learning more & more about 'Costume Jewelry' (i still know less than nuthin')-it's nobodies poor stepsister,least not to mere mortals.The Great Aunt used to festoon herself in this stuff at Christmas and everybody thought she was a little loony-now she laughs from the great beyond.

 

Exquisite is nice, but sadly cheap. I need to rummage....

 

One more name to keep in mind.
