I have a necklace of graduated oval glass beads--faceted, probably Czech from the '20s, later shortened, in a clear hyacinth blue. Recently I took it out and thought that it might be time to find a top that would show it to advantage...<br /><br />C.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-37857121712259875762011-02-05T13:30:04.911-05:002011-02-05T13:30:04.911-05:00LPC: it's this sort of touch that adds charact...LPC: it's this sort of touch that adds character and texture; good for you!Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-50645337894461080232011-02-05T12:54:20.488-05:002011-02-05T12:54:20.488-05:00I wore a vintage glass bead necklace that I've...I wore a vintage glass bead necklace that I've had for decades, the other day.

A number of years back, my sister and I went to Easter Sunday service and were given small cross-shaped bottles of bubble stuff on strings. We had them around our necks at brunch when a gentleman came up and said, "What a lovely pendant! Is it Lalique?" To which I replied, "No, it's plastique." <br /><br />The girls at the table all had a good laugh, but needless to say, the gentleman did not send us a round of mimosas afterwards!<br /><br />Your suggestions are much more elegant, natch. ;-)Rubiatontahttp://rubiatonta.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-59403419072266588512011-02-03T11:38:05.578-05:002011-02-03T11:38:05.578-05:00I love those Baccarat ones!

And on a mostly unrelated note (except about jewelry) here's a question perhaps you might be able to answer.<br /><br />Maybe 6 months ago I saw a style of earring that I just loved, but cannot find again, nor remember the designer. They were a single semi-precious stone baguette-style with the ear wire going the top of the stone like a hugger hoop. The stone was not bezel set, but rather hung simply and elegantly just below the earlobe, but horizontally rather than like a drop.<br />They were relatively expensive for semi-precious stones--$300+US. The designer did them in many different gems. I have not been able to get these out of my head, but I cannot locate them no matter how much searching. I seem to recall the designer was female. Not Ippolita. <br /><br />Any idea? Thanks for letting me use your space and your good mind! :-)spacegeeknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-33296752336785944562011-02-03T08:26:20.539-05:002011-02-03T08:26:20.539-05:00I love all these Duchesse---especially the Lalique...I love all these Duchesse---especially the Lalique.<br /><br />I also wanted to share this site: <br />http://www.karensugarmandesigns.com/Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12756033682201519150noreply@blogger.com
