Little is known about this company, but
like Weiss, the Regency name and mark is known to accompany glittering
pieces with lots of rhinestones. Regency butterflies are well loved,
and overall the jewelry shows imaginative use of colors and unusual stones.
An approximate time frame for the company is set at 1950s to early 1970s. |

Regency Blue Cat's Eye Cabochon Brooch
 |
Shimmering with life and verve, this
brooch is a study in blues. The cabochons are crackled "cat's eye"
stones while the remaining stones are blue with an aurora borealis
effect. The result is a slightly different look with every motion. |

Regency Layered Root Beer and Smoke Brooch
 |
This stunning, layered brooch is
fascinating for a couple reasons. The color combination is subtle,
but still glitzy: root bear tones and "black diamond" (smoke)
rhinestones. And, it has unusual lozenge shaped stones at the
bottom. Note: the bottom of three loops in the hook-and-eye
construction is missing, but this doesn't effect stability or wear.
Goldtone settings. Marked: Regency |
