[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 331907, member: 5833"]These pix do not capture the color well, just putting them up for comparison. The top one is 6.25" & I see is marked Weiss. That & the unmarked one below it are the 2 my mother had in a little collection of vintage rhinestone jewellery. The slender one with the square settings for the round stones is marked Sterling & is something my mother would have acquired & worn in the early 1940s. The one below was also hers, AB stones in a gold tone setting; think it dates to the same period, 1950s latest. The necklace on the bottom is something I bought at a hospital charity shop in a very wealthy community. It is difficult to photograph. Choker length, made of hinged segments, each of which holds a pear shaped jet glass stone & a small white stone that is raised above it. The white stone overlaps the jet stone on the next segment. None of the pieces has been polished. They have stayed bright over the years. I have occasionally worn the ones my mother had for formal dances with much less formal clothes. Feeling inspired to renew the practice. [ATTACH=full]111089[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]111090[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
