,  The sparkle, the flash of something spectacular and grandiose gave the women of the early to mid 20th century a feeling or being special and elegant.  The scarcity of precious stones and precious metals did not deter designers from creating some of the best examples of jewelry elegance. Women looked well dressed and their jewelry set off their slender necks, delicate wrists and upturned hair styles by adorning their ears with earrings that made any man's head turn. Yes, the depression hit the country hard but did not take the sparkle out of the woman's wardrobe nor did the war stop men from desiring women that sparkled and gleamed in evening lights and the women were eager to adorn themselves in rhinestones in clear and colors. Looking jazzy was a goal, creating one of the greatest design times ever was the result.

  We choose our items for the design and lines each offers. These are great examples of these times and worth the elegance they will give you. Each has been cleaned and checked so you receive a piece ready to wear and ready to give you the biggest sparkle of your life.
