Colorful Vintage Dyed & Carved SEASHELLS Flower Bouquet Pin How colorful and unique is this vintage bouquet made of dyed and carved seashells!

Each flower is securely affixed to a metal base which is attached to the stem. The pin has a safety clasp pin. This goes-with everything floral spray is in wonderful condition and with the addition of a simple ring can be used as a pendant too! Be creative and be colorful with these fancy, hand-carved flowers from the sea!

Delightful Enameled Lily of the Valley Pin with Faux Pearls Such happy flowers are lily of the valley—or Muguet des bois as they are called in French—that they make us smile and this quintet seems to be nodding in agreement with lustrous faux pearls. The 3" stem is gold-plated and the sensuous leaf is enameled in translucent green. Opalescent swirling pearl covers each lily cap.

The pin secures with a safety clasp and is in excellent condition. It looks superb on a lapel or the collar of a slanted neckline but I’d even wear it as a pendant on a ribbon or chain—asymmetrically for a more a organic effect, Mother Nature would approve!

Chic & Cheery Silver Metallic, Turquoise & Blue Cord-Wrapped Beads Necklace Silver meets the blues in this attention-getter of a choker necklace made of cord-wrapped spherical beads. The necklace is 16" long and each bead is about 7/8" in diameter. Silver metallic/gray cords enclose half the beads while spiraling turquoise and royal blue cords encase the alternates. A very durable, vinyl-covered metal wire cord runs through the center of the beads and closes with a toggle and ring silver-plated clasp. The beads are tightly wound (great in wrapped beads, not so much in personalities) and the shimmer and color are an instant mood lift. The necklace is in excellent, unworn condition.

The cabochons are set randomly, two are in mountings with all-around beaded frames and one has stations of triple beads at four intervals. The cuff is in wonderful, unworn condition and will certainly finish an outfit with noteworthy style.
