The "crystal necklace thread"

[JessesGrl]

Sorry HAD to do it!!!
I was just looking through some of my grandmothers old "costume" jewelry that my mom now has and I too found the EXACT three strand crystal necklace, we estimate it is from 50''s/60''s. I fell in love with it and I think I am going to wear it on my wedding day. Toooo funny that so many people have the same necklace from their grandma''s...

hey jessesgrl, do you have a picture of your necklaces?

 

[Kaleigh]

Yes pics please!!

I love my crystal necklace from my grandmother. I wear it all the time. I think it''s pretty cute with jeans and a black tank top.

I wore one to a wedding last year....matched the "look" of my dress....but mine are probably older than that!!!! Someone came up to me, and commented......knew it was old....

It gets even better !

 

[Catmom]

Yeah!! A crystal necklace thread

I have three from my husband''s grandmother, a single strand, a double strand and a lacy collar type. I wear the single and double strand all the time. The collar one is more formal, I think, so I don''t wear it as much. Here is the first......

[Maxine]

[Maxine]

[Maxine]

clear ones....

 

[Catmom]

Ooooh, Maxine.......love the different color of your necklaces!!!!

I have a red one, too!

 

[Catmom]

Here''s a black and white one. Ok, I have to admit that I am a crystal jewelry addict and have collected many sets.

I have several others that are mixed crystal beads and other beads, but I''ll stop now!

 

[Maxine]

How many more are there??????

Go ahead and share............

 

[Catmom]

Okkk...........you did ask!! First though, I have to appologise. I would put them all on the same sceen if I knew how. The only way I know how to show is to do each individually. I''m basically computer illiterate.

Here is a green and pink set. I did have the bracelet to match, but managed to lose it one day. I could kick myself for that one as I''ll never find another one like it.

 

[Catmom]

Here is a cobalt blue and turquois set. I''m sorry these pictures really stink!

 

[Catmom]

I think this one just might be my favorite. It is in the brown and amber tones. It looks great with fall colors.

 

[Catmom]

And finally, the last one!! It''s in black and red tones. I''m sure you are sorry you asked, Maxine!!!

 

[Kaleigh]

Catmom,
I really like you crystal necklaces they are beautiful!! And Maxine yours are lovely too, especially the amethyst one!!!

 

[Maxine]

Catmom, I LOVE the blue one, especially!!!!! That''s the "new" style now, too, shades of blue....

 

[Maxine]

Thanks, Kaleigh!!! They actually look better in person...might start a thread of old pins....probably crystals in them, too!!!

 

[Catmom]

Thank you Kaleigh!! For some reason I just have a thing about crystal necklaces. It must be the sparkle!

Maxine, Thank you!! I love the blue one, too. Cobalt blue is my favorite color.
