Carmen Vintage Jewelry
Carmen vintage jewelry is lovely indeed. If you like goldtone vintage jewellry, you just might like Carmen.
The Look of Carmen
As I mentioned above, Carmen tends to be goldtone jewelry. And most often you will find it in expansion bracelet form. Although I have seen some earrings, they tend to be few and far between.
Some of the loveliest Carmen (in my opinion) is the jewelry with a Victorian influence. But many of the designs revolve around heart designs.
Here you go, some Carmen vintage jewelry for you to browse and enjoy!

Hobe Sterling Jewelry
Hobe sterling jewelry is pretty rare, as is most jewelry from the 1940s time frame. With the war, the normal jewelry metals were conscripted by the goverment. Therefore, the jewelry manufacturers had to "make do" with sterling silver.
Once the war was over, the pot and base metals were once again used by the costume jewelry manufactuers, and sterling went largely by the wayside. So in general, the use of sterling in costume jewelry indicates it was made in the 1940s time frame -- roughly 1943 through 1948.
One other way to identify if a terling piece is from the 1940s is that usually it does not have a lot of rhinestones. Instead of a plethora of smaller stones, a few larger ones were used. While this isn't cast in stone, rhinestones ceased to be imported from Europe so once again, jewelry manufactuers had to make do with what they had in stoock.
Hobe sterling costume jewelry isn't what you'd call inexpensive, but it is highly collectible. If you find a piece in good condition and a reasonable price, grab it! Meanwhile, here are a few pieces of Hobe sterling jewelry, for your browsing and buying pleasure.

Clover Jewerly
Do you love clover jewelry, and want to either start a collection, or add to your existing one? Then you've come to the right place!
Clover jewelry is most often found in either brooch/pin or earring forms. You will also sometimes see clover pendants as well.
And although 4-leaf clovers tend to be favored, due to their good luck, you can also find 3-leaf clovers. And besides, isn't it more fun to have both kinds?
The jewelry comes in gold-tone, silver-tone and enameled. Various costume jewelry manufacturers made them, so you're even likely to find some signed clovers as well.
So here they are, a field full of clovers for your browsing and buying pleasure. Enjoy!

De Lillo Vintage Jewelry
De Lillo vintage jewelry isn't well-known, possibly because they weren't in operation for very long. However, de Lillo costume jewelry is rare and sought-after by saavy collectors.
Years of Operation and Mark
De Lillo operated from the late 1960s through the mid 1970s. (Like I said, they weren't around for very long.)
The mark is "de Lillo" in script.
Buying De Lillo Vintage Jewelry
The rule of thumb is this; if you can find a de Lillo piece in decent shape with a not-too-high price -- grab it! Prices tend to go up for this costume jewelry manufacturer (a good thing). Added to its desireability, it means that if you ever want to re-sell down the road, you'll likely make a profit on it.
All this being said, here's what you came for -- de Lillo vintage jewelry for sale! Enjoy your shopping.
