Women Hand Painted Porcelain Faced Earrings-Different!
I seem to remember seeing these in the stores in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are a silver and irridescent blue painted leather with post backs. Their hats have pronged 'rhinestones' and they each sport one pronged 'rhinestone' earring. They measure approximately 1 1/2" long. The only fault I see with these earrings is that they are missing their post holders. These are easily replaced. Otherwise, they are in very good condition for their age.

Enamaled Metal Floral Brooch
This brooch measures about 2 1/2" long and is slightly under 1 1/2" wide. The pictures make it look as though there is wear on the stem and leafs but there is none. The stem and leafs are shiny gold colored. There is some slight wear to the white enamel along the petal edges but this is hard to see with the naked eye. The closure is a swing barrel type. The center of the flower was glued in and the glue is starting to discolor. This to is not very noticeable to the naked eye. It still is a nice looking brooch.

Ruby w/Pearls Pierced Earrings-Delicate
I can't exactly remember when I bought these earrings but I think it was about 20 yrs. ago. I have rarely worn them. These are nicely designed. The deep ruby glass is facted and prong set. The little 'pearls' and three 'rhinestones' are glued into an etched gold colored setting. The back is also etched nicely. There is a 'barrel' type sliding closure on both. The earrings measure 1" in length. They are in excellent condition.

Bracelet-Ice Blue w/Rainbow Stones-Very Nice!
I'm not sure of the age of this bracelet. I bought it at an estate auction and it was called Swarouski but I don't know for sure if it was made by them. It does look new and shows no sign of wear so I'll assume it's fairly new. The colors don't show well in the photos. This is actually an Ice Blue with rainbow colored glass that picks up any shade that you're wearing. The bracelet measures slightly over 7" and weighs 2oz. The glass is facted and glued into the metal setting. This bracelet is not marked but it is well made.

Lg. Enameled Sunflower/Flower Pins-2
This pin is quite large measuring a little over 3" around. It has the barrel type closure. There are a few light scratch on the brown center but these are hard to see with the naked eye. There is some paint 'flaws' on the tips of the petals at the back that look like either the paint didn't take or it has worn. Still, this is a very wearable pin. The bright orange and pink brooch measures a little over 2 1/2" around. There are very light marks on the enamel that are hard to see. There is some wear to the enamel at the outer edges of the petals. The body and green stem/leafs move somewhat-I'm not sure if this is by design or they didn't get it tight enough at the factory.

Three Strand Beaded Collar Necklace-Plumb/Gold
Although the photos show this to be a deep pink it is actually a light plumb color. This necklace is marked Japan. This is a well made nice looking necklace. The shortest chain would be a choker and the longest chain would just reach to the top of your collar. This would fit a small boned woman best.

Gold Filagree Floral Broach
This is a nice looking small broach done in filagree in a floral pattern. The color is a soft antique gold. I really don't know how old it is but the barrel closure type pin back is not soldered on. A varithane type substance is holding it to the body. The pin measures approximately 1 1/2" around and is in excellent condition. I do imagine it could use a good cleaning.
