Have you Seen Darkest Hour?

Have you seen the new film Darkest Hour?  You might be interested in getting you circa 1940  jewelry out for the occasion.  There lots of great jewelry from the time period of course. But if you want to channel the support that Americans felt for the British standing alone in at that time you might look for a Bundles for Britain pin. Sold as a fundraiser these pins generated monies for the British War Relief Society and Bundles For Britian. The United States was neutral until it joined the war in 1941, but U.S. humanitarian efforts were ongoing then.  The pin shown here has the British motto on it Dieu et Mon Droit (God and My Right) and was made by Accessocraft.  Even Cartier produced a design benefiting the effort. You can find one of them here.

The Story of Trifari - a history of the Iconic Company now on Amazon

I recently published a history of Trifari on the Amazon Kindle. It's 247 pages.
"An illustrated history of the beloved jewelry company, Trifari. The book traces the beginning of the company and profiles the principals and their vision. Lavishly illustrated, the book includes patent references, fashion history and hallmarks to aid the collector."
