ORANGE GALALITH VINTAGE BEADS WITH CUT, CLEAR, FACETED DECO PERIOD GLASS BEADS

This is a long row of beads and has orange galalith beads and clear glass faceted beads.  It was put together in a shop in Spain that closed in 1972.  It is a very interesting combination of beads - one that I would not have thought of - but I love it!  There are a number of different designs of the galalith beads and the clear beads have unusual facets.  Ref: 3074 YL Price £95

EMERALD GREEN GLASS DROPS GILT LEVER BACK TOPS VINTAGE EARRINGS

This pair of emerald green glass drops earrings have come out of a shop that closed in 1971.  They would have been made up in the shop from earlier components.  They are quite long at just over 2 1/2 inches - but of course could be shortened by removing the ornate centrepiece.  Price £55 Ref: 3073 YL

LEA STEIN BROOCH - ROLLS ROYCE - BLACK AND RED

Glad to get this Lea Stein Rolls Royce brooch.  Haven't had one for ages.  This one is in black and red.  It was designed by Lea Stein between 1968-1980.  It does of course have the correct Lea Stein Paris pin on the back - I do not sell the cheap Chinese copies.  Full details on my web site.  Price £65 ref: 3072 C68/22

ART DECO PERIOD EARLY PLASTIC VERY LARGE BELT BUCKLE - TRANGLES WITH FLOWERS

This belt buckle is an amazing size!  It is probably make of galalith and consists of 2 triangles - one with red and one with orange flowers.  Metal fittings on the back.  It would make such a wonderful belt - and would not be difficult to do - all the fitting are there.  Be brave and have a go!  Full details on the web site as usual!  Price £78 ref: 3071 C61/15

1960s LARGE VINTAGE SUNGLASSES WITH 'PHOTOSUN' LENSES

A large pair of 1960s unused sunglasses with original 'Photosun Lenses' label in good condition.  Vintage sunglasses really need to be tried on.  I always have a selection at my shop in Vintage Modes, Grays antiques in central London.  Of course the lenses do not have the sun protection of modern lenses so should not be used as protection in strong sunlight!  ref: 3069 C63/6 Price £75.

LEA STEIN BROOCH - GOLDEN AND BLACK OWL

I just love the delicious colours of this Lea Stein owl brooch.  I am very fussy about my colour combinations - as my customers know!  I just look at this one and wonder how it is made!  Very pleased to report too that all the dreadful copies of Lea Stein brooches have been cleared from Amazon.  (What were they thinking of!). A full description of this Lea Stein brooch is, as usual, on my web site - www.gillianhorsup.com - ref: 3067 price £65
