On the left is one of my "pets" when it comes to vintage crystals by any designer: this brooch and earring set by Sherman has those rare faux alexandrite stones ... the ones that change from purple to blue/green depending on the light shining on them. This particular set is being offered by a fellow I met a while back at the Christies Antique Show. He's based in Quebec. Very nice seller. You've still got 3 days to bid on this set. Bids are currently only at $23.50, but again there's no way that's where it'll end. If you click on the link I've provided, you can see this set under different lighting where the large stones become purple/violet and the smaller stones around it are all blue. Just love how that color changes. Ever fascinating.
And then there are the BINS .. the "Buy it Now" offerings like the one shown on the right. What a spectacular set and color! The seller describes the color as aquamarine (and if you follow my Vintage jewelry blog you know how I love aquamarine ... especially the real gemstone!) It appears to be in fabulous condition and is certainly a desirable addition to any Sherman collection. Both pieces are signed too. But will she get her price of $1200? She's inviting you to make an offer, so maybe you should try yours. There's 18 days to run in this auction, so you've got lots of time. Click the link below the photo to go there now.
And now, here's the cream of the crop, the most collectible of the lot. Even though it may have had alterations, the multi-colored parure, (a book piece) shown below is THE Sherman to buy, and going by the intense bidding so far, others feel likewise:
