Antique Earrings - Antique Enamel and Diamond Earrings

Antique earrings have a special appeal to me. I like all things old and vintage, but antique earrings are special. Take a look at these fabulous beauties. They are from France, circa 1890.

These were on a classified ads site and have unfortunately been sold. I didn't find them quick enough. But I just had to share my find. I have a feeling they might have been out of my price range though. They are lovely.

Your Vintage Cufflinks Collection

(image "dmc-gmopsq2" by vintage-cove, on photobucket)

Vintage cufflinks are an amazing accessory that every man should own. Vintage cufflinks are not just cufflinks. Their age and charisma are qualities not seen in modern cufflinks.

The fashion industry has seen a recent comeback for cufflinks. Perhaps spurred by the modern trend of neck ties no longer being compulsory office attire in many companies. Many men have found the need to express their flair in other ways - like their cufflinks.

Vintage Cufflinks

There's a new page on our website - Vintage Cufflinks

"Both of these styles eventually gave way to the immensely popular toggle invention that we know today. Designed by Jacob M. Oldak (US Patent No. 2472958), the toggle invention turned cufflinks into an accessory that was incredibly easy to use and opened the door for jewellery production houses to increase production of cufflinks."

 Cheers!

Coat of Arms, Principality of Trinidad

The next that was heard of him, he was in New York having changed his name and status to Prince James I of the Principality of Trinidad. In New York, he called on an unsuspecting printer and ordered a series of stamps for his “realm”.

1897 Eye Glass Hook

Something old and special from Vintage Cove - Mens Vintage Jewellery

This amazing little doo-hickey is apparently from around 1900 and is an eye-glass hook.  These hooks were pinned to the clothing and attached to a chain connected to the eyeglasses. See? Ever since glasses were invented, people have been forgetting where they put them. Hence, the invention of the eyeglass chain and hook.

This item is on ebay at Item No 150423784824
