[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 1457205, member: 85"]I would not buy the grapes. They are common and still available in today's market. I have some from the 40s before the change of marks. They have a different look and don't look as thick and clunky. The fact that the earrings are pierced indicates that they are fairly current. The original grape earrings were large and clip. I have a pair that I wear. The older ones look different. I like the pearl pin. It is different and would look lovely on a dark lapel. Here is what you should focus on. What goes with your clothes? What will you actually wear? - Keep in mind your tastes change as you get older. What you like now may not be what you like 20 years from now. Sell what you end up not wearing, save for your children the pieces you enjoy - as those will be the ones they remember you wearing. Buy what you like at a price you are comfortable paying. Some people only like gold, others only silver. Some only costume. People buy jewelry for a lot of reasons. Buy what you like and will enjoy.[/QUOTE]
