Red Rhinestone Vintage Jewelry is a Hot Seller

Anyone who has dabbled in selling vintage jewelry will agree that red is one of the colors that always gets the most watchers and bids. It is so rich and regal, makes a perfect Valentine's day or Christmas present and can be worn anytime and still looks perfectly in fashion.

I have been lucky enough to acquire a fabulous full parure, pictured here, by vintage designer Judy Lee. Judy Lee was a signature used by Blanch-ette, Inc. and was founded in 1949 by Blanch and Aldo Viano in Chicago, IL, and was sold through home parties. It is rare for a set of this condition with all pieces intact to be offered together.

The set consists of a brooch, pair of clip back earrings and matching cuff bracelet with an open back. All of the pieces are set in gold tone metal.

The bracelet has a cut out design with a 1" band, and a front section with red glass rhinestones in dog tooth and prong settings. The earrings have a design which matches one half of the bracelet setting. The brooch features three of the clusters in a modified triangular shape. it also has a bale on the back, so that you can hang it from a chain if desired. (no chain is included.)
