Bakelite Rose Lavalier Made in Germany What a fine piece of collectible Bakelite. The drop on this lavaliere is three inches, with the carved rose being 1-1/2 inch. The dainty brass chain is another 18 inches with the ring closure marked Germany. It consists of filigree and ivory colored beads made of unknown material. I have not been able to determine a book value.

Arts and Crafts Movement Flower Pin of Multi Material Wow, is this terrific. I almost made the mistake of listing this as early plastic. While doing my usual once over with my loupe, I found this pin to be made of various materials. The large yellow flower petals are poured glass. A top that is a plastic filament which is topped with a facet stone quarts stigma. The stepals are made of carnelian with more carved quarts beads daggling from them. I am not sure what the small rose is made from, as the resin leaf back covers almost the entire back and prohibits closer investigation. Sorry about the botany class, but with so many materials it was impossible to get away from it. There is no question that this is a one of a kind hand made beauty.

Unusual Brooch with Turquoise Rhinestones Set in Black I've had this brooch for some years and am finally offering it for sale. It is an unusual piece shaped in a hexagon of light weight black plastic. There are some raised marks on the face that look like brush marks with a loupe. All the turquoise rhinestones, with the exception of one, look to be original. Around them, both in the center design and at the edge are impressed nodulars with a metal looking finish, some of which have worn off. I have come across a necklace like it in one of my reference books that dates it between 1925 and 30. Book value was $95 ten years ago.

Super Nice Confetti Earrings These confetti earrings from the 40s are super nice. They are well made, and although not marked, I would guess they are German. The silver tone over brass settings is sturdy yet ornate. The plastic centers are made differently than most confetti pieces. They have a look of oyster shell chips with gold confetti at the bottom and a clear plastic dome top which give them an elegant look. They measure 1-1/4" across and have normal wear on the back clips. Book value is $60.

Too Cool Funky 60s Plastic Necklace and Earrings This necklace and earring set from the 1960s is just too cool. The beads are all plastic and range from faceted, round, and hand painted zigzags. The small spacers are deep green-blue Aurora Borealis facet beads that make the pink really pop. The necklace is 21" and the drop clips are 2 inches. All pieces are marked Hong Kong. This set came from an estate of a woman who collected bead work for decades and had an eye for what was true art.
