Lea Stein "Carmen"
Once I was
attracted to Lea Stein's whimsical pieces, I looked for those in the
colors that I wear. Naturally I couldn't resist this fabulous
"Carmen", aka "Joan Crawford" — she's got it all! I wear her when I
want a powerful but playful look.

Madame Butterfly
These
Japanese ladies are fur clips made of bone and embedded with rhinestones.
Since I love opera and am on the Hawaii Opera Theater board, I see them as
Cio-Cio San (Madame Butterfly) and her maid Suzuki.

Antony & Cleopatra
 |
I'm intrigued by the origin
of these Vogue sterling figurals though I haven't found any info as yet.
To me, they represent Antony and Cleopatra and I just love them!
[Ed. note: the 2006 Jool People Gallery included a similar
Vogue pair that were Romeo and Juliet.]

Hobe Ivory Chessman
This 1930s carved
ivory brooch was found sitting under a friend's coffee table. When
asked about it, she said "that old thing -- it's just costume!" I
happily paid more than she wanted with the promise that I'd always
treasure it.

Tunisian Dancer
I
purchased this brooch, signed
Authentic, at auction with the intention of selling it, but I just
couldn't let it go. I love the enameling, especially her pants, her
gracefulness, the unfoiled stones and the size of the piece
—
over 3" by 2½".

Coro Country Folk
I
fell in love with these quaint
fur clips when I saw them in an antique store case. The shop owner
had mistaken them for barrettes. To me, their patriotic enameling
suggests hardworking, land-owning Americans from days gone by.

Swirling Dancer & Swordsmen
 |
I love
Art Deco and I love figural pins, so these caught my eye.
Purchased separately, they appear to be similar in origin.
Extremely stylized, and full of movement!

Tourist Lady
This little
tourist is tiny, not quite two inches tall, but she is bursting with
personality. Her tiny camera dangles around her neck and she wears an
adorable little polka dotted dress. She is signed Spain on the back of
her head. You have to smile just looking at her!

"High Roller" Brooch
This fellow is special just because
he is so dang cute!
Even though he is
called a crib toy, he is really a toy for us big girls. We love our
jewelry and having a cute guy to play with is something we can all relate
to. He's estimated to be from the 1960s.

Ivory African Woman
Although she was so covered in grime I
couldn't determine the material, I was immediately drawn to the far-away,
wistful expression on this woman's face. I love the stylized
carving, particularly on the nose and that wonderful hair
—
quite captivating!
