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

VINTAGE TIE BAR CLIP-MOTHER OF PEARL & PAUA SHELL INLAY

Is it just me, or do they just not make things like this any more?

VINTAGE TIE BAR CLIP-MOTHER OF PEARL & PAUA SHELL INLAY

A beautiful mother of pearl bar with paua shell highlights at each end. I'm sure it looks even more amazing in real life because I know how hard it is to photograph these irridescent qualities.

I found this on ebay at Vintage Tie Bar Clip-Mother of Pearl & Paua Shell Inlay

Celtic Design Necklace Sterling Silver Garnet Jewelry

How amazing is this Vintage Celtic Necklace? I came across this while looking for vintage jewelry. I love it so much I wanted to share it with you.  I love the design of the celtic surround and the silver really highlights the red of the garnet stone.
