Downton Abbey Era, 1920s Green Glass Flapper Necklace

While we are waiting for the next season of Downton Abbey you might want to watch my video on Downton Abbey Era Jewelry. Just recently, I found a beautiful green glass flapper necklace from the 1920s. I love the long look to the necklaces. 

The glass in this necklace is mottled and swirled to look like jade. There are rice shaped beads, and faceted and round beads.  Overall, the short strand of the necklace measures 30 inches in length while the lower round bead with the tassel is 4 inches in length.  Characteristically, the beads are knotted and the clasp is a simple spring ring. 

Lapel Watches Discreet timepieces for business meetings

Hello again. I haven's posted in a long time but I'm back.
Today I'm posting a few photos of lapel watches.  These were all found for very modest prices and I think they are so useful.  You can wear a lovely time piece and know the time without giving it away.  The watch hangs upside down so that you can view by simply glancing down.  No obvious looking down at a watch or very rudely taking out your phone.  I think they are so great in a business environment.

Notice, the last example has the decoration on the front and watch on the back.  You'd have to be a bit more discreet in looking at the time.  Still, would be more inconspicuous that current timepieces.
Here's the last one:

Love this example since it has a second hand.    You could time the toast!
