Back to the Grind (espresso for preference) Eye Candy Wednesday

No storms this week and no heat wave in my area at least.  Got some eye candy to display anyway?  Please keep the pictures smaller to speed loading, and as usual nothing from a live auction please.  

 

These three are long sold; the pictures were from 2017.  The first is probably pewter and rhinestone.  The second was a honker of a rhinestone pin.  The third was what it looks like - mixed jade beads with a gold clasp.

ev, I like your MCM bracelet.  It looks Scandinavian.  Your honker brooch is a beauty, too!  

 

arlene, I'm a purple girl so I'm with you on the 2nd bracelet, although the first isn't too shabby, either 😆!

 

I'm going to use up my 3 picture allotment on this brooch I picked up a couple weeks ago.  Unusual design with a raised upper layer and a fanned out lower layer.  The outer band of blue stones and the blue marquise stones have an interesting color change effect from blue to purple.  I'm bummed it's not signed 🙁.

Beautiful pieces ladies.  Love the Jade and since February is my birth month, bet you can guess which is my favorite bracelet.  Dream they made a rhinestone that emulated the color change of Alexandrite.  I have a Trifari set that uses some of those stones, beautiful.

 

Some marcasites to go with that lovely amethyst bracelet ... well the stones are the same color!  LOL

I started this collection for Shelby.  When she was about 4 I wore one of my marcasite pins when I was with her.  The sun hit it just right and she was all ohs and ahs.  When I told her it was a marcasite brooch she said "I got to get me some of them there marcasites."  It was just too funny.
