Amazing vintage Trifari set of a choker, dangling earrings and bracelet. Wear them all, or one at a time. It's a classic set that's lasted more than 50 years, and if kept well, will bring joy for many, many more.
Such joy! Hehehe!
Loop it round and round! This chunky beaded necklace with bronze and brown accents have two free tasseled ends that allow you to play with any combination you desire.

Wow! Dramatic faceted black beaded dangly earrings paired with a faux pearl collar that makes a wonderful statement piece.
Tie this round your neck - high, for a more dramatic effect; low, for a can't-care-less effect. Beautiful piece with glitzy gold baubles and faux pearl beads.

A closer view of the horned beast.
1960s charm bracelet with faceted turquoise baubles.
Drop dead gorgeous! 1950s-1960s rhinestone earrings with a coral bead in the middle, citrine marquise stones and a tasselled drop. You can't quite see it here, but three of the four tasselled ends hold three round beads, and one holds, surprisingly, a tiny citrine stone. Attention to detail, is what we say!
Breathtaking! We love this feather-patterned bracelet from the 1950s marked "Lisner". On her finger, a 1960s gold-toned hammered ring with a pearl in the centre.
