Costume Jewelry Trilogy By Eleanore Sue McMillan

The art of reference books and costume jewelry collecting has just been raised to an even higher level than ever before.  Eleanore Sue McMillan has published three huge definitive books on costume jewelry.   Volume I : Icons Of Costume Jewelry, Volume II: Costume & Fashion Vintage Jewelry and Volume III: Costume Fashion Jewelry Unsigned-Orphans Of Beauty. 

Clive’s Unique Jewelry has obtained all three volumes and believe us when we say that Eleanore’s collective is absolutely dazzling.  Each photo is a delight to the eye.   Each piece takes your breath away and all of this collection whether signed or unsigned has been elevated to a higher art form.  These are not coffee table books, but vast informational guides to collecting costume jewelry.

You can read all about Eleanore’s accomplishments…….serious collector, home sales, consulting, fine art appraiser, auctioneer….the list is  as long as two arm lengths.  What she has achieved in these three volumes will be very hard to duplicate.  As Eleanore says….It’s Jewelry To Live For” !

Retro Deco Geometric Necklace Set (GN)

It is always a mystery to us when we see a great unique necklace that is left unsigned.  This is one example. What we have here  are Gold tone matted geometric segmented triangles of varied sizes in a retro Deco design with matching pierced earrings. We feel this set was made in the 1980’s.  It is a multi dimensional necklace that captures light from so many sides.  Webster’s Dictionary never described a Triangle like this unique necklace set.

Ann Klein Golden Vintage Criss Cross Necklace/Choker Set

Clive’s Unique Jewelry is always attracted to something shiny (it’s a good thing Clive doesn’t work in a Gold Mine) and this Ann Klein signed necklace set fits the bill.  The necklace consists of 15 criss crossed plump shiny gold tone hidden hinged designs with a square snap clasp bearing the signature Lion’s Head Ann Klein Hallmark.  This vintage set includes matching clip on earrings.  We are sure that this set was inspired by Paloma Picasso’s criss cross jewelry designs.  This choker necklace measures 16.0 inches in length and the matching earrings are about 1.25 inches wide.  Do you want to wear a classic?…… you have come to the right place !

Gerda Lynggaard Rare, Important Fashion Necklace

Many, many years ago I was at my Distributor for Gerda Lynggaard jewelry and I  met Lynggaard there  ( I also have her autograph) and I purchased this necklace which she  personally designed.  Over the years on  occasion I would display it at various antique shows. This unsigned necklace consists of a variety of materials, including acrylic beads, faux Pearls, glass bugle beads, gold foil ceramic tubes to name a few all of which are randomly placed. It’s secured by a round brass “planetary” slide clasp with a large faux Pearl.  This bib style necklace measures about 19.5 inches across.  The clasp is about 1.5 inches in diameter.  As far as I am aware. this was a singular design .  I have taken exceptional care with this necklace and it is in excellent condition considering its age. I am the primary owner of this necklace.  This is what Clive’s Unique Jewelry is all about.
