We attended our favorite auction house this week for a Memorial Day estate auction. We found some great items like this gorgeous, unsigned, vintage brooch made of deep amethyst color faceted rhinestones, light blue aurora borealis rhinestones, and lavender rhinestones. All are prong set with pave inset in the silver tone metal. The piece measures about 2.5" wide---beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!
We also obtained this elegant, unmarked, cranberry opalescent hobnail double crimped vase by Fenton Art Glass. We are huge fans of Fenton as well as authorized dealers. This vase measures 4.5" in height and dates to 1940-1978.
We found this lucite Sarah Coventry Apple Pin/Earrings set at the Burlington Antique Show a few weeks ago.

More finds to come.....
Although we consider ourselves jewelry artisans, from time to time we take inspiration from craftrsmen outside of our medium. One such inspiration is Sam Maloof, famed woodworker. We discovered him initially in a documentary series showing on PBS entitled 'Craft in America'. I only hope that we are still making our jewelry at age 90 like Sam is. Anyway, check out his beautiful furniture, his foundation, and his web site at http://www.malooffoundation.org/. He is truly an inspiration to us. More information on Sam can be found at the Craft In America website: http://www.craftinamerica.org/artists_wood/story_180.php.
