The stuff I really like:

Real costume jewelry! No, that's not a contradiction. By, "real," I mean jewelry that was pricey to begin with, from the right era, signed, and hard to find. Listen, I know you can't take your eyes off those striking photos of me modeling jewelry (that totally matches my outfit) in a consignment shop, but i f you can tear your eyes away for a second, and read, I'll do my best to impart some useful knowledge. Ok, we have two amazing pieces of metal mesh from Whiting and Davis. To put as imprecisely as possible, there's Whiting and Davis, and then there's Whiting and Davis. That scarf is made of metal mesh. It's like silky chain mail. It's possibly the raddest piece of costume jewelry I've ever seen. It comes in the original box. The box has a drawing of a knight on it. There's nothing not amazing about it. Its friend, the metal mesh cape-type thing is also cool. I've had plenty of Whiting and Davis bibs, and they're great for making my customers try them on and act like disco cowgirls. This one is a step above the normal Whiting and Davis piece as well. The mesh falls in the back, which is clearly way better than falling in the front. The clasp has extra detail. It also comes in it's original box with the knight on it.
Next, you'll see a 1940s Coro rhinestone bracelet. It's signed with a pegasus and the name Coro. That means it is from the 1940s. It also has that "Golden Age Of Rhinestone Jewelry" thing going for it. I was pretty excited to find the Coro angel Duette. A Duette is a trademarked design that Coro patented in the 30s. This one is from the 50s. They consist of two fur or dress clips mounted to a bracket to make a pin. You can use the clips or the pin. This is from a series of angels for every month. This caught my eye, but I immediately thought, "looks like that Kirk's Follies garbage," (that falls apart the second you put it on, FYI). Thankfully, I picked it up and turned it over. That's my job. Picking things up and turning them over. Duettes are rare. Coro in it's own right is not synonymous with valuable. But both these pieces count as, "the good Coro."
I'm pretty excited about the French art deco bead necklace as well. It's signed, "France" on the ends of the barrel clasp. How did I ever find the signature? Knowing where to look is half the game. I would've bought it anyway, for it's deco splendor. Maybe I'll wear it this weekend, in tribute to the Williamsburg Savings Bank. What's so great about this necklace? Well, who doesn't love Deco? Furthermore, French art deco is the creme de la creme. France is where art deco happened, in many ways. A piece of 1920s jewelry from France is particularly significant. It was right around then that an orphan named Gabriel started making straight line dresses out of army surplus jersey, and encouraging women to wear glass beads to adorn themselves. Coco Chanel basically invented costume jewelry. She might have sold something like this in her first Paris boutique. Prices? The only item whose price can be expressed in two digits is the Coro Bracelet. It's $75.
