Gustave Sherman Masterpiece Collection
Rhinestone Necklace

We have actually had this necklace in our possession for over 6 months. We purchases it directly from Canada, Gustave Sherman's home base.

It is not unusual for us to buy a piece and hold it for use during a particular month; however this is the longest we have done so.

Well, sometimes patience does pay off! We recently, (November) purchased the new book Sherman
Jewellery, The Masterpiece Collection
by Sandra Caldwell and Evelyn Yallen. While admiring all of the eye candy, my mouth dropped when I saw this beauty on page 131 in fuchsia and purple!

We have been lucky enough to procure many Sherman pieces over the years. One year we purchased a lot of eighteen pieces, mostly brooches. We have been spoiled ever since. The price per piece was
outstanding and we cannot match that price today! Not even close.

As with all of Mr. Sherman's pieces, this necklace was made with high quality rhinestones and shows superior construction. In fact
this necklace has unusual dual construction techniques. The metal is rhodium plated.

With the party season upon us, we thought there is nothing easier to wear and nothing more versatile than a stunning clear rhinestone necklace. We can't think of many makers that did them any better than Sherman!

Signed Selro African Faces Set

I can't count the number of unsigned "face" jewelry items I have seen over the years, much of it attributed to Selro or Selini. Some of them definitely are while others are not.

Like most unsigned jewelry, try as we might, we will never know who made them. With other pieces, we can sometimes tell by the construction or we have matching pieces.

Another difficulty in attributing the Selro/Selini face pieces is, this was not the only company that produced this type of jewelry.
Art and Har come to mind.

So, with all that said, you can probably imagine how happy we were to find this signed Selro African face set.
