BUTLER & WILSON LARGE VINTAGE CLIP EARRINGS


These are very large, round, clip earrings by Butler & Wilson - probably from the 1980's. They are made in gilt metal and have white square glass stones and some round coloured glass stones. They measure 2 inches across the diameter. I love the vintage Butler & Wilson jewellery - it is so individual! I always try to have some pieces in the shop. The earrings are £68. The reference is 400 A172/15.

VINTAGE HAT BROOCH


I have recently been asked for brooches in the shape of a hat - so was pleased to get this one. It is nicely made with sharp detail on the front. It is marked "925" but because it doesn't have an official hallmark I cannot describe it as sterling silver. Anyway it's a great shape and is one of many vintage brooches I have in my shop. It is £48. The reference number is 399 A188/55.

MAUVES STONES AND WHITE BAGETTES NECKLACE AND BROOCH SET


A great set - comprising a French necklace and brooch. Cannot read the signature - except that it was made in Paris. The glass stones are lovely - the square stones are mauve and grey and the oval stones and mauve and lilac. The metal is dark coloured and it has the long, white stones as a contrast. The Set is £120 - or you could buy the pieces separately. This is one set from a large selection of vintage jewellery we have at Vintage Modes in Grays Antiques. Ref. 398 A122/25.

PENDANT NECKLACE - GILT AND CREAM AND GREEN


This is a great 1970's pendant necklace in gilt with cream and green plastic pieces. Lanvin was making great pieces similar to this at the time. I cannot make out the mark on this one. It's a good shape and the condition is O.K. Just one item in the huge selection of vintage jewellery I have at Grays Antiques. It's reference number is 397 A187/6 and it's price is £65.

CELLULOID CAMEO STYLE BROOCH


This is most unusual - it's a large, celluloid hanging brooch - with girl's head (cameo style) surrounded by coloured flowers and hanging from a bar. It's in such good condition - even the fine chord. I have never seen one like it! Its £55 and the reference number is 396 A186/41.

BURBERRYS GILT, HOOPED, CLIP EARRINGS


It is hard to get nice, large hooped earrings - and these are big! They are marked "Burberry's" and the drop from top to bottom is approx. 7 cms. The hoops are patterned. I did have a great pair of Butler and Wilson ones but one of the earrings fell into the water on a photoshoot - and I have not been able to find any as nice. So was really pleased to get these!

AMBER BRACELET


I love this amber bracelet. It has 3 amber pieces - each piece being a different shade of yellow. It is marked "925" and has some other marks - which are not British. The amber is in good condition. It would make a great present!

ART DECO PASTE BRACELET DRGM


This is something I would have liked to have kept. It is a German Art Deco paste bracelet, channel set, and marked DRGM. The paste is not all bright and shiny but the colour is even. It has small, black (?) galalith beads in between the paste rows. These are so Art Deco, and so smart! They are also very hard to find now and I was so pleased to find it! Worth getting up on a Sunday morning early for.

TRIFARI GILT, FAUX PEARL AND PASTE NECKLACE


This is a Trifari gilt, faux pearl and white paste necklace. Good quality and condition. I used to be able to buy lots of this gilt Trifari but sadly now it is much more difficult to buy pieces in good condition. Very classic and smart!

ASKEW CLIP EARRINGS WITH BEE AND BIRD


Not a thing to buy in Cairo so it's back to London! I found these on my return and they are mad! A pair of Askew gilt metal, clip earrings. They each have a bird with faux pearls, and bee and a butterfly - with leaves. They have a faux pearl drop. I love Askew earrings - they are usually quite special! Just the thing to wear over Christmas!
