    I promise this is the last one for today so thank you for your patience. I plan to sell these 1950's beaded collars and was wondering if they should be sold separately or a group. The middle one is definitely hand sewn, not sure of the other two. I have other pictures of the them separately and the backs if needed. They all have hook and eye clasps.

    Have you taken a look at eBay Completed/Sold listings and then Active listings? That will give you an idea of where collector interest lies and the price realized for similar pieces. Your sales strategy will be clearer then.

    Good suggestion to check Ebay. Definitely look under "SOLD". They used to sell well, but lately less interest, so I'm not sure whether grouping a good strategy or not.

    I think the bottom one is the most unusual, if you decide to sell the three together, definitely take individual photos of that one, because of the rhinestones! I might even try to get a photo with you showing that one in good light (so rhinestones can sparkle) and maybe the other two just in the background as a first photo if you sell as a group.

    If you are selling on Ebay and you sell separately you can always include a photo of the three as your last photo, and instruct people in the description that these are from other auctions. The rhinestone one is the most exceptional, but I almost didn't notice it had rhinestones, so definitely mention and get a really good photo (maybe in sunlight with it sparkling). Best of luck.

    @Lucille.b Thank you for the advice. The last one with the rhinestones actually looks like it has a crochet back. Here's a picture:

    I'd really play up the (pink?) rhinestones. :)

    That last one is interesting! I've not seen another like it. That said, I don't think that it was hand crocheted. Hard to say for sure as your blow up pics aren't clear.
    I think I sold one like the top one a few years back and it went for $7-8 dollars.
    Cheerio,
