Was going thru some pieces of jewelry I have had a long time, to see if I could repurpose some pieces I rarely/if ever wear anymore and ran across this necklace. This one will not be repurposed. I bought it at a flea market in the 80's - don't remember exactly what I paid for it, but thinking about $6. I remember the vendor saying she would not take less because it was an old piece. It is a vintage "Coro" piece (marked on back) , and intact. I tried to get a photo to show the true color of the setting - I guess you could call it a very dark amethyst color. Just thought I would share it with you
I am linking up with Cindy @ "Show and tell Friday" http://romantichome.blogspot.com/ and Laurie@ "A Few of My Favorite Things" http://bargainhuntingwithlaurie.blogspot.com/
Anyone have anything exciting planned for the weekend? What ever you do, hope you have a great one!!

ETA: Update on that "yucky" thing hanging over my courtyard. The tree it is in, is my neighbor's and he said he would get rid of it - hopefully real soon. The problem is, it is up pretty high, so not sure how he will get rid of the thing.

That is beautiful Glenda! You got a great deal there. We were in the 70's today. Low humidity, lot's of sunshine, it was wonderful!
I love hanging clothes on the line when it gets like today.
Have a great weekend too.

Very pretty - Looks like a good deal, maybe you should have it appraised.
About the scary pic below - save that one for Halloween! :=)
Enjoy the pretty weather!
Glenda...this is beautiful! Love the deep purple of the stones.
Thank you for coming by to visit. I had alot of fun today playing with some of my Art Deco jewelry and decided to photograph them with my vintage silver purse. I'll have to work doubly hard tomorrow as I slacked off playing today! :-0
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Genda,
Nice to meet you! I have seen those yucky webs along the highways, and wondered what they were.
This necklace is awesome. What a great price too. Looks like the real thing. Yes, I would definately have it appraised.

I inherited some costume jewelry from my mom and, like your lovely pendant, is is from a known name. I think you might be surprised at home much it could be worth -- I was with several things. But you've got a great eye.
BTW - we have a unique kitchen backsplash giveaway that might be useful to you or a friend. Please stop by our Giveaway Friday! Jane F.
That a beautiful piece Glenda!
Hope your neighbor takes care of the "yucky" thing in the tree soon!

What a beautiful piece of jewelry. I love old jewelry too. That might make a lovely pin too.
Have a great weekend.

It was cool in North Idaho today, too! Over 90 is not for me.
That necklace would look great hanging around my neck. Just sayin'
