Vintage Jewellery News for March 2010 from AntiquesAvenue

Hello, Anne here with your March Vintage Jewellery News from AntiquesAvenue.

Blog:

Just for a change lets start with this Antiques and Vintage Jewellery blog.

Information Videos: As you can see I have now added a section on the right hand side of the page where you can see all my information Videos. Hover over a picture to see what the video is about and click on it to view the vid.  I have received such good feedback ( kind people) on these that I am hoping to be able to show you more about Antiques and Vintage Jewellery in this format. Is there anything you would like me to cover next?

Vintage Jewellery A-Z: I’ve now finished with the letter A for vintage jewellery materials, A is for Agate, Amber, Amethyst and Aventurine. During March I will be blogging on Antique and Vintage Jewellery materials beginning with B: Bakelite, Basalt, Bloodstone, Bog Oak, Brass and Bronze.

Comments and Contact Anne:

Thank you for all your wonderful comments left on this blog but please be aware – I do have an anti-spam program running so please don’t waste you time leaving a long comment advertising your latest pharmaceuticals or adult products. My anti spam program will prevent this from being published. One link back to your site or blog which is Antiques or Vintage jewellery related is welcome where this adds to the article.

Thank you also for all the lovely emails I get from you on a regular basis. I will try and help if I know the answer but cannot spend hours researching your item. Nor can I do valuations . Should you wish to sell you item please contact your local auction house or try selling it on eBay. As a private individual you are very unlikely to get a better price from a dealer than you would achieve yourself by selling it on eBay.

AntiquesAvenue Vintage Jewellery Shop:

There is still time to order your Vintage Jewellery for Mothers day – please ensure that orders are with me by March 11. Easter is coming too, I will be back early next week with a selection of jewellery for Easter ( much less fattening and longer lasting than chocolate) . Think Spring flowers, chicks, bunnies, ducks, egg jewellery. Do you have any Easter theme suggestions I can add?

I have been very busy working on the Shop during February adding lots of lovely fresh stock of vintage jewellery including gold gemstone rings, Victorian silver sweetheart brooches and some nice Scandinavian silver and enamel jewelry. How about this striking brooch :

Vintage Norwegian silver enamel brooch K Rasmussen

What a colourful vintage brooch. This brooch is made of silver and enamel and was made in Norway by Karl A Rasmussen having the KAR initials and the markers mark on the reverse. I believe that this dates from circa 1950s. This brooch measures about 5 cms long .

You can now find a selection of vintage crosses in the shop and coming soon a new department for pearls including pearl necklaces and pearl earrings.  Also coming during March are more wonderful gold and silver charms and I have just receive a nice selection of vintage costume jewellery .

See you soon – Happy hunting
