Finally appreciating my grandmothers “costume” jewellery

[Pennyc]

Sorting through my jewellery box I have many pieces of my grandmothers I haven’t worn or looked at closely but PS members are inspiring me to get them out

Ideas on what things could be made of or era would really be appreciated

In Australia we don’t have that much in the way of estate jewellery and it tends to be expensive so probably isn’t super valuable but would love some PS experts ideas on what things might be

I believe this is from the art deco period. It is worn often with love I know it is diamond and platinum and gold




Sparkly brooch not sure of the material?


I think perhaps marquisite?

Birds of paradise brooch maybe enamel?


I need to get this repaired diamante? Marquisite?


Her watch I can make out CYMA and swiss made

I love this choker as a child. Glass maybe?

Im really happy you are giving nanna's sparklers some love
there are places on estey who specialize in repairing and restoring costume jewlwey but im sure just by googerling you'll find some Aussie plases that do it too
The ring reminds me of Bella Swan's ER from Twilight which was an Edwardian piece

Please give little kid you a pat on the back for being gentle with the choker
i got to play with my great aunty's faux pieces ... and i played with them to death - and they were a lot better made in those days than the fashion jewlery one buys today

Thanks @Daisys and Diamonds thats a great idea. I would love to repair the broken item I am going to try and make a commitment to wear the bracelets more often now Melbourne is finally out of lockdown and I have to get out of active wear
