creativity, and collectability - and this demi parure, out of the end of
last century, is no exception. Done for <a href="https://cranberry-manor.com/avon/" target="_blank">Avon</a> as part of their 1989 line, and known as <a href="https://cranberry-manor.com/kenneth-j-lane-kjl-for-avon-undersea-necklace-earrings-torsade-vintage/" target="_blank">Undersea</a>,
this fantastic pendant/necklace combination is executed w/2 stunning,
marbled coral, beaded strands. Accented w/a golden shell that is
decorated w/crystal rhinestone chatons, this set is absolutely
spectacular!<br />
<br />
Several sellers online have the original paperwork for this set and it shows that this jewelry can be worn 6 different ways.<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Pictured is the torsade, the torsade w/shell focal, the simple necklace, the lariat, and the dangling pendant.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Not pictured is the use of the shell focal as a scarf slide.</span><br />

Description ~ this
striking, and large, clear goblet is decorated w/a gorgeous frosted stem
in the pattern of three faces - also known as the sisters, the three
graces, and the three fates - an EAPG pattern classic! This piece is
either the EAPG goblet produced by Gillinder & Sons c1876 or the
reproduction produced by LG Wright in the 30s (as it is unmarked, it is
definitely not the reproduction produced for the Museum of Modern Art by
Imperial) - I am unable to determine its status. It is, however, highly
collectible & displays attractively - perfect for collection
matching and completion.<br />
<br />
Measurements ~ approximately 6.5" tall x 3.25" wide at the opening. Its size makes it the water goblet for the table.<br />

</td> <td valign="top">Cinco de Mayo<br />
<br />
Cinco de Mayo, or the 5th of May, is a holiday held on May 5 that commemorates Mexico's victory, at the Battle of Puebla, May 5, 1862, over the French.<br />
<br />
Often confused w/Mexico's Independence Day, which is on September 16th (the date, in 1810, that the Mexican War of Independence began), it is primarily a American phenomenon, specifically started in California, and signifies a celebration of pride in Mexican heritage and culture.<br />
<br />
Whereas Cinco de Mayo celebrates Mexican victory over the French, Mexico's Independence Day is a celebration of Mexico's freedom from Spanish rule.<br />
<br />
Mexico is a country of vast heritage and exceptional works of art. Some of the more collected, Mexican items in the vintage marketplace are <br />
<ul><li> Sterling Silver Jewelry</li>
<li>Mexican Textiles</li>
<li>Mexican Pottery</li>
<li>Table and Service Ware </li>

The birthstone for May, as well as the stone of the Zodiac for the constellation Cancer, is emerald - a shimmering, green member of the Beryl family.<br />
<br />
Thought to bring, and associated with, patience, wisdom, and understanding, Emeralds are often a wonderful gift a wedding or anniversary, as these traits are associated w/stong, everlasting love.<br />
<br />
The use of emeralds in jewelry can be traced as far back as to the time of the Ancient Egyptians and Ancient Romans.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The Ancient Egyptians associated emeralds with everlasting youth and often carved sybols of leaves into the gemstones. Ancient Romans thought emeralds to represent fertility and rebirth and associated the gemstone w/the goddess of love, Venus. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Some famous sayings about emeralds include the Biblical Quote: “And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.” And the quote from Samuel Taylor Coleridge: “And ice, mast-high, came floating by, As green as emerald.” </span>Kim | CranberryManorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02114892733835960045noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4738969707066083871.post-50974418813646162922011-04-30T20:32:00.000-07:002011-04-30T20:32:06.545-07:00Peggy Sue Went to the PromMy <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/66243768/vintage-pink-rhinestone-daisy-necklace?ga_search_query=pink&ga_search_type=user_shop_ttt_id_5319179">pink daisy necklace</a> was featured in this wonderful collection highlighting items for a vintage prom - there are some wonderful pieces in it, with everything from a vintage tuxedo to the most amazing, rhinestone studding, vintage, cat eye glasses (I love the look and style of cat eye glasses) to a wonderful pink clutch and matching shoes - what a fabulous look for today's prom-goers, and one that is sure to be unique and talked about.<br />

<br />
<a href="http://etsyvintage.blogspot.com/2011/01/theres-nothing-like-trifari.html">EVT Blog</a><br />
<br />
and thought I would recreate it on my own blog :)<br />
<br />
Trifari Jewelry has always been a name synonymous with creativity, quality, and glamour. Even the jewelry made in modern times is of quality and style, and collectible in its own right.<br><br />
</p><p><br><br />
<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v388/cranberrymanor/Blog/Pearly.jpg" align="left" hspace="5" width="250"> The company can trace its beginnings back to 1910 when Italian immigrant, Gustavo Trifari, and his uncle began producing jewelry under the name Trifari & Trifari. Gustavo, 2 years later, decided to branch out on his own under the brand name Trifari. Continuing to produce high quality, costume jewelry, that rivaled the real thing, Gustavo met his partner & sales manager, Leo Krussman in 1917. Trifari & Krussman was later formed in 1918. When top salesman Carl Fishel joined the company in 1923, the name changed again to Trifari, Krussman, and Fishel, and the trademark "KTF" was born (the T in the middle is larger than the other 2 letters, denoting the senior partner, Trifari).<br><br />
<br />
</p><p><br><br />
The 1930s & 1940s was the grand age of costume jewelry for many design houses, Trifari included. This was the time that Alfred Phillipe joined the company as head designer, producing some of the most outstanding jewelry the company has seen. Very, very collectible, Phillipe designs are elegant, glamourous, and timeless.<br><br />
</p><p><br><br />
Some of the company's most popular, and most collected, designers, outside of Alfred Phillipe, include Jean Paris, Andre Boeut, and Diane Love. Pieces by these designers still command some of the highest prices Trifari jewelry can bring. <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v388/cranberrymanor/Blog/APDesign.jpg" align="right" hspace="5" width="250"><br><br />
</p><p><br><br />
Even old magazine and fashion advertisements form a very popular collecting genre of Trifari Jewelry. For a wonderful selection of old Trifari ads, please visit <a href="http://www.morninggloryantiques.com/JewelChatAdTrif.html" target="_blank">Morning Glory's Trifari Ad</a> Page.<br><br />
</p><p><br><br />
<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v388/cranberrymanor/Blog/BlueNGoldNeck.jpg" align="left" height="250" hspace="5"> Trifari Jewelry is marked, most commonly with what is referred to as the "Crown T" mark. Hallmarks w/a © indicate a production date of post-1955. For an extensive description of Trifari marks, please see <a href="http://www.illusionjewels.com/costumejewelrymarkst.html" target="_blank">Illusion Jewels Trifari Section</a>.<br><br />
<br />
</p><p><br><br />
Trifari became part of the Monet group in the 90s, and is today owned by Liz Claiborne and in off shore production.<br><br />
</p><p><br><br />
My personal collection includes a wonderful array of Trifari figurals, and my quest is to acquire each piece in the specific lines, from the pearlescent Fantasia Collection to the oh so cute Pets Collection.<br><br />

Laziness, lack of character, desire to mislead buyers are just a few reasons I can think of.<br /> <p>I am posting this article, because I keep running into sellers who think it's ok to take my original copy from my D&E Studio Girl listing as use it as their own. I am posting my original listing in image form (click on the thumbnail for a larger, more legible version) and will include the list of sellers, and their auctions, who are using my copy w/out permission or notation - who are stealing intellectual property and plagiarizing - both of which are illegal and against venue policy, be it eBay, Ruby Lane, or Etsy.<br /> <p><br /> I am currently dealing w/a seller on eBay who has done what I have described above. While she has apologized, her note back to me stated "<I>I did not consider it stealing just practical but I understand your point</I>". I will list her selling ID and auction number by end of day if she does not remove my original copy from her listing.<br /></td><br /><td valign="top"><br /><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v388/cranberrymanor/DandE/MyOriginalDE207.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v388/cranberrymanor/DandE/MyOriginalDE207_small.jpg"></a><br /></td></tr><br /><tr><td colspan="2" valign="top"><br /> I also found a seller on Ruby Plaza plagiarizing my D&E Studio Girl listing, and it took no less than 4 emails to get this seller to remove my original copy and use his own.<br /> <p>I highly caution buyers against purchasing from sellers who steal from others... it speaks to a general lack of character and honor if a seller is willing to pass someone else's work off as their own, which is a good indication of the lack of customer service they will provide to their buyers.<br /><p>To view my live, original listings, <a href="http://bit.ly/9jGI3N" target="_blank">please click here</a>.<br /></td></tr><br /></table>Kim | CranberryManorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02114892733835960045noreply@blogger.com0
