Vintage Jewelry Boxes by Incolay Stone

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 29 Apr 2019 02:18:00 +0000

Looking for a Vintage Jewelry Box?

There are many styles and sizes to choose from, but a vintage jewelry box will always be a treasure as it sets itself apart from its newer counterparts.

Do you wish to have a vintage jewelry box that will stand the test of time? Selecting a special gift for a loved one or friend? Then consider the option of a vintage jewelry box or trinket chest by Incolay Stone!

Incolay Stone jewelry boxes and trinket chests are durable, easy to clean, and available in a variety of unique styles. Be aware though of the copycat brands that are not Incolay Stone! More about that in a moment, but first let's take a journey into Incolay Stone beginning with a bit of their history, and how Incolay Stone is made...

Where Does Incolay Stone Come From?

Incolay Stone history isn't widely published, but Incolay Stone is a registered trademarked name, and made in the good old USA!

The original company was later bought out. The following information is courtesy of: Michelle Staley author of, "Incolay Boxes, Incolay Trinket Box"...

Incolay (an acronym of “in layers of color”) is made-up of a variety of crushed minerals and the end result is a marble looking substance. The founders, E.M. Bright and his wife, developed the process to create inexpensive cameo-style jewelry beginning in 1966 in their California home. By the early 1970’s they had expanded and included jewelry boxes and a few music boxes to the Incolay line.

So the original Incolay Stone boxes are indeed a vintage treasure. If you're looking to purchase one be sure you look for the registered trademark - in hopes it was preserved with the vintage jewelry box you wish to purchase.

How Genuine Incolay Stone is Made

Incolay Stone was made from a variety of crushed stones or minerals including Onyx, Malachite, Carnelian, Jade, etc. The stone or minerals were crushed and ground into an aggregate, which was added to their coupling agents.

Care of Incolay Stone

Based on the description of how Incolay stone was made, it's much like some of the modern day composites made from crushed stone mixed with resin.

All stone material needs special care, but it's easy to maintain if cleaned properly.

I've read some recommendations to clean with soap and water, however - I would be cautious!

You may wish to test a small area of the Incolay Stone box to determine if your soap will stain it or not.

Although the Incolay Stone is durable there isn't any information to indicate what it's porosity is. All natural stone is porous, which can be permanently stained by some oily substances - even if it was properly sealed.

On the other hand, some composites are non-porous which resists stains. Soap you choose to use could possibly have natural oils that would stain the Incolay Stone.

Citric acid from fruits like lemons and limes can also stain and actually etch natural stone. Some soaps contain acids and oils from citrus! So again, proceed with caution!

You may wish to simply use a durable towel soaked in hot water then wrung out. I was fortunate to find an image of Incolay Stone care instructions.

It does indicate you can use 'soap', and it also states you can seal the stone with mineral oil. But again I would be cautious with the type of soap you may choose to use. At the end of this article there is a short video showing how to clean a stone jewelry box.

Genuine Incolay Stone, or Not?

Again, this is where the manufacturers label will come in handy so you can determine if the stone box you're purchasing is genuine Incolay Stone.

It's always good though to have more information to help you with identification, and especially if you find a stone jewelry box that has since had the label removed.

Or, it may be a copycat - so buyer beware! The best information my research found was from an Incolay Stone collector. Their article is worth the time to read as it will provide you with greater insight regarding details such as the jewelry box hinges and how they were attached.

Great information to identify genuine Incolay Stone! Have fun as you hunt for vintage jewelry and a vintage Incolay Jewelry Box!

Vintage Style Steampunk Jewelry

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 08 Aug 2018 22:29:00 +0000

Are you wondering what "steampunk" jewelry is? Your first clue is that it's not a brand! Steampunk jewelry is inspired by designs and items from the steam era. As an example, you may find some steampunk jewelry for sale, which is made from watch parts combined with fantasy, and science fiction characteristics. The pieces are generally one-of-a-kind, since many are hand crafted masterpieces.

Steampunk works well for creating a vintage jewelry look, and can easily display masculine lines as it is inspired from the steam era. If you're looking for a gift of jewelry with a vintage flair, you may want to consider steampunk!

Watches or parts from watches are often used to create the steampunk look, and it's one of my favorite steampunk styles.

Trifari Jewelry Enamel Vintage Floral Beauties

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 20:49:00 +0000

Trifari Jewelry manufactured colorful enameled classic treasures...

And, they're still cherished today. The first Trifari vintage jewelry enameled set shown below bears the Trifari Crown mark used during the 1940's - 1960's era, but the style of the set would lead me to think it is probably from the earlier time during that era rather than closer to the 1960's - just a guess on my behalf because of the design.

Both of these Trifari enameled sets featured in this article, are colorfully pleasing to the eye, and would look wonderful with Spring or Summer attire - that is if you were the lucky bidder to have won these!

I imagine there aren't many of these sets remaining, and especially not in such pristine condition as these, since the enamel would have a tendency to get scratched and or slightly chipped over the years.

Now don't run off now! Be sure to continue reading so you can see the wonderful Trifari Crown enameled jewelry set!

The bidding action and final prices on these sets speaks volumes of the rarity, condition, and love for the colorful floral designs created by Trifari.

This first Trifari parure included a necklace, bracelet, and fur clip! :) Awesome indeed!

Vintage Watches and Chronographs

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 07 May 2010 05:22:00 +0000

One of the most interesting pieces of jewelry for either a woman or a man are watches.

Available in a wide variety of styles and decorative details, watches make a timeless gift.

Wrist watches, finger watches, brooch watches, stopwatches, and chronographs are all interesting works of engineering due to their moving parts.

Vintage Pocket Chronographs and Watches

Regardless of what type of watch is preferred, well maintained vintage watches make a great collectible.

Although most people are familiar with stopwatches, chronograph isn't as familiar of a term.

A chronograph combines the functions of a stopwatch and timekeeping.

Although they were produced as early as the 18th century, chronographs didn't gain popularity until around 1820.

Vintage chronograph watches in good working condition may be more difficult to find than other types, and if a person wanted a nice one, they would perhaps need to purchase a new chronograph watch.

Chronograph watches are a perfect example of form combined with function, and are enjoyed for many years.

Vintage Plastic Jewelry in Bakelite, Thermoset and Celluloid

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 19:51:00 +0000

Bakelite on Wood

Plastic vintage jewelry comes in a variety of shapes, colors, and styles. Celluloid, the earliest plastic developed, was first attempted in 1856. Bakelite was first discovered in 1897, and thermoset plastic experiments began in 1928. Thermoset was later branded as "Plexiglass" and "Lucite", and like their early plastic counterparts became popular for manufacturers and consumers.

Today, vintage plastic jewelry remains very collectible, with the designer labeled pieces fetching the highest prices. Companies like Coro, Lisner, Selro, Selini, Sarah Coventry, and others manufactured many designs using Thermoset plastic.

With it's capability to be molded into a variety of shapes, Thermoset was formed into leaves, flowers, and a large variety of other designs. Plastic floral brooches, necklaces and sets gained popularity. Many of the semi-transparent molded Thermoset vintage jewelry sets have come to be known as "fruit salad" on popular auction sites such as eBay.

Manufactured by companies such as Lisner, the semi-transparent pieces that appear almost jelly-like often sell for a high amount. Full designer sets known as a "parure", with a necklace, bracelet, and earrings, have sold for more than $300.00, but some for much less if they don't bear a designer name.

Coro Confetti Necklace

Companies like Coro, and designers like Pam, also became known for their confetti plastic jewelry, which had bits of glitter and other shapes like stars mixed into the plastic, which quickly gained popularity and still remains popular today.

Although market trends shift, vintage plastic jewelry will most likely remain quite collectible, and as the pieces become more difficult to acquire and as the demand increases, the prices will continue to add value to your vintage jewelry collection.

Yesterdays Vintage Jewelry and Tomorrows Antiques

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 21:21:00 +0000

Yesterdays vintage jewelry will one day become tomorrows antiques, but when is something considered to be 'vintage' or 'antique'? The answer to that question can sometimes vary depending on what type of collectible a person is referring to, but here we'll be talking about jewelry.

'Vintage' generally refers to an item from a specific time era, and generally it's at least 20 years of age, so it would refer to the time period through the 1980s. For example, you might have a vintage necklace, which you know is from 1950, so it could be referred to as a '1950s vintage' necklace. However, 'vintage' is a loosely used term, and it's not always the correct term to use just because something is no longer manufactured, and that may be when the term 'vintage reproduction' would be appropriate.

On the other hand, if the necklace is at least 100 years old, then it could truly be referred to as an 'antique'. There are times when I will refer to an antique piece as vintage, just because I'm so used to using the term vintage - lol. However, if I were to list a true antique jewelry item for sale, I would definitely list it in the 'antique' section since it is an antique.

If a jewelry item is neither 'vintage' or 'antique', but of vintage style then it could be referred to as 'vintage reproduction'. If you're purchasing an item for your personal collection, the terms antique, vintage, and vintage reproduction may not make that much difference to you, but if you plan to sell the item be sure to accurately describe the item as antique, vintage, or vintage reproduction.

Czech Out This Gold Toned Brooch

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 02:13:00 +0000

Down through the ages, many styles of brooches have been viewed as "classic" pieces of jewelry. Although their clasps, pins, and pin hinges have changed as time has gone by, they're still worn on lapels, blouses, used as scarf pins, and more.

In the earlier years up to around 1900, brooch clasps were an open c-clasp design, and thereafter the locks were an added improvement. Another trait of older brooches is the fact that the pins were made longer, and hung out beyond the edge of the brooch setting.

This Czech or Victorian style brooch has bright clear rhinestones, with the exception of a few that have darkened over the years.

The amethyst glass stone in the center has retained it's liveliness, and overall the classic round gold-washed brooch is in excellent condition, especially considering it may be from the late 1800's.

Vintage 14K Gold Cross Rock Necklace

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 15:15:00 +0000

I'm sure you would agree that there are many different designs of cross pendants and necklaces to choose from, new or vintage, but this 14K yellow gold cross necklace I owned years ago, was truly unique. This is one vintage jewelry item I somewhat regret selling, but I don't wear yellow gold very often so I decided to let it go.

The most interesting point about this cross necklace, is the clear glass bubble inserted into the center, which had what appeared to be a chunk of stone inside. Perhaps a chunk of stone from the Holy Land, or from Jerusalem? That was undetermined, but it was truly unique compared to many other cross necklaces and pendants I've seen.

Since the cross pendant had the appearance of a chunk of stone inside, I referred to it as the "cross rock necklace".

I have many other cross and crucifix pendants in my collection, most of which will go up for sale, but prior to selling them I'll probably share those here too, so if you like crosses and crucifixes, be sure to check back to watch for more in the near future.

Margot de Taxco Enamel Floral Bracelet and Earrings

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 02:23:00 +0000

Margo de Taxco silver jewelry is highly collectible, and the enameled pieces are to die for! As they say, we can't have everything in life, and this Margot de Taxco silver enameled floral bracelet and earrings demi parure, was on my wish list. (Wow, that sentence was a mouthful - lol). I desired to acquire this set, but was unable to splurge this time around.

For me, the next best thing is to be able to enjoy the images of the sets I'm unable to acquire, and I would like to share this set with you. If you're a fan or collector of vintage jewelry, I'm sure you would agree that the next best thing to having the actual set is to be able to at least view the eye candy from these vintage beauties! These images are here by prior authorization and courtesy of the eBay seller, who sold the set. Thank you, Elizabeth of Lozen Gallery for providing me the opportunity to share this beautiful Margot de Taxco set with the readers of Vintage Jewelry Hunt! By the way, at the link above for "Margot de Taxco", there is a brooch in the same floral and enamel setting!

This was the auction description from Lozen Gallery for the set:
(Lozen Gallery is no longer an active link from ebay, so it was removed)

Here's a beautiful and feminine sterling and enamel bracelet and earring set from the celebrated and highly collectible Mexican silver artist Margot Van Voorhies. The bracelet is 7 3/4 inches long and the width is 3/4 inches at the widest. The earrings are clipon style and are 1 1/2 inches long including the hanger and 3/4 inches wide. The total weight is 48 grams. The bracelet is marked Margot de Taxco and Hecho en Mexico as well as the eagle 16 and the design number 5837. The earrings are not marked, but they are identical to the bracelet links. There are 7 petals, 4 of them have scratch marks in the enamel of the front petal, but it does not detract from the beauty of the piece. I see no enamel loss, aside from the scratch marks they are in perfect shape. This set dates to the 1950's time period.

The set was auctioned for $300.00 which by all means is not over-priced for such a wonderful set!

Polychrome Art Glass Jewelry

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 22:57:00 +0000

Polychrome art glass jewelry provides a bright and colorful choice for accessorizing an outfit. Polychrome generally refers to when three or more colors are used, and creates a chrome-like appearance. Most likely if you're a person that likes dichroic glass then you would probably also like polychrome jewelry.

This set, which was a demi-parure consisting of earrings and a necklace was interesting, but it did not have a designer or makers mark.

Although I normally love vintage jewelry made of art glass, this polychrome set was in a gold-toned setting, and the colors just didn't suit me, so I sold it on eBay several years ago.

If it had been in the peacock art glass colors and in a silver-toned setting then I may have decided to keep it for my personal collection of vintage jewelry.

An interesting point about some of the polychrome art glass sets is that the glass is sometimes done in a texture, which was the case for this set.

The blue and green tones are set off by the bright pinkish purple and almost give the appearance of a gem.

The colors in this set were so vibrant, it was certainly not for the person who prefers a subtle style of jewelry, but more for those of us who like big and bold!

A Vintage Belt for Trade

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 05:12:00 +0000

Everyone loves a great thrift store find, but sometimes the vintage bargain you locate at a yard sale or thrift store can cost you more than just the sticker price. A friend of mine recently found a good quality leather belt at a thrift store. He decided to try the leather belt on for size, which fit perfectly so he purchased the belt and returned home.

Days later he discovered he was missing one of his other leather belts. He then recalled his trip to the thrift store and realized when he tried on the belt for size, he removed his own belt and placed it on the stores belt rack, but accidentally left it hanging there!

Realizing it was too late to retrieve his belt, he not only paid the price for the thrift store belt, but he also unknowingly "donated" his other good leather belt - lol. In this case the sticker price for the belt wasn't such a bargain since he unknowingly donated his other belt, but it surely was a good deal for the thrift store, and good humor for those who read and share this humorous story!

Vintage Figural Frog Jewelry

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 02:05:00 +0000

Vintage figural jewelry comes in many shapes and sizes. There's a style, object or shape for just about any man, woman or child. For me personally, I've never been that fond of figural jewelry, but still find those vintage jewelry items to be fun, and they're a great way for a person to add some whimsy to their life.

Enamel cloisonne jewelry will sometimes feature flowers, unicorns, shells, and other shapes, but in this case the enamel pendant features a fun frog! Rib-bit, rib-bit!

Vintage Figural Cat Jewelry

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 19:19:00 +0000

Vintage figural jewelry comes in many styles, but generally is available in brooches, pins, pendants, and charms. As an example, a person who loves cats might want to sport some figural cat jewelry. It's a fun way to express what your love is for a particular animal, gardening hobby, bird watching etc.

Recently I acquired a lot of vintage pendants, and charms, which included some figural jewelry, and I put the vintage cat jewelry together. These pieces will probably go into my eBay listings soon.

The pendant that says, "Here kitty kitty." is inside a bubble like shaped pendant. I suppose if you like these vintage figural pendants, that it must mean you're one cool cat!

Vintage Jewelry in Peacock Art Glass

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 01:15:00 +0000

Vintage jewelry made from art glass is one of my favorites! I acquired this demi-parure set with brooch and earrings several years ago, and I love how the colors are so full of life and shimmer. The peacock colors are beautiful, and vintage art glass jewelry is my favorite. Some people go wild over rhinestones, but for me it's the art glass pieces and sets that attract my attention.

This set is unsigned, but the vintage costume jewelry designer Judy Lee comes to mind when I look at how the set is constructed. Signed or not, the vintage art glass jewelry is truly very collectible and becoming more difficult to locate.

The vintage art glass sets that are made from molded glass shaped into leaves or flowers are especially popular, and a must have for any serious collector.

A purchase of vintage art glass jewelry will always enhance your collection, and most likely you'll be able to fetch a nice price for the pieces in the future if you opt to sell the treasure.

How to Use Broken Vintage Jewelry

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 23:21:00 +0000

Do you have broken necklaces, bracelets, or earrings you can no longer wear?

Before you toss those treasures into the trash, consider using them for a new purpose, or to create a new jewelry item.

If you don't wish to make use of the items, please don't throw them away, as there are many artistic people who would love the chance to re-purpose those items!

Broken vintage jewelry can be used in endless ways, and here are just a few examples:

Use strands of beads for drapery tie-backs, holiday decorations, or to embellish pillows.
Use earrings to add to a bottle top for decoration.
Create wine glass hangers so your guests can identify their glass.
Add to napkin rings to dress them up, and to give your table setting a unique flair.
Create new necklace pendants, or bracelet charms.
Use beaded strands to decorate lamp shades and chandeliers.
Decorate plain perfume bottles to add some interest to your dresser or countertop.
Save the items for dress-up day for your children or grandchildren.
Create princess tiara's for your little princess.
Make crown decorations for your little king.
Adhere pendants, earring rhinestone clusters etc., to an old jewelry. box lid to give it some sparkle.

By now I'm sure you have some new inspiration for how to use broken vintage jewelry, and you'll feel much better about giving those treasures new life rather than tossing them away.

1928 Vintage Jewelry

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 19:42:00 +0000

Vintage styled jewelry by 1928 began manufacturing their treasures around 1968, with the goal to produce jewelry that emulated antique and fine estate jewelry. I'm sure you would agree they were indeed successful with creating jewelry items with a vision of the past, so much so that some copy-cat manufacturers attempted to compete.

For me personally, in the 1970's the 1928 vintage jewelry line became one of my favorites, although I didn't purchase many pieces. Of course now that so many years have passed, I wish I had bought more than just a few items of 1928 jewelry in the 1970's, because now it is a vintage collectible!

Vintage Jewelry Passion

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 09:03:00 +0000

As your passion for vintage jewelry grows, so will your frustration when you miss out on an opportunity to acquire that special piece or set you had your eyes on. I experienced that frustration first-hand about three

years ago while shopping on eBay.

While attempting to bid, my bid didn't go through, and I missed this unsigned set, which went to the only bidder for less than $15.00! When I contacted the well-known auction site to report my frustration, they informed me it was most likely a cookie-issue or cache challenge, but that of course didn't soothe the pain of losing out on the opportunity to own that wonderful set!

Ugh! I was sick about losing the opportunity to purchase the brooch (with pendant bail) and earrings. Since that time I've never seen another set like this same demi-parure. I also later learned it was probably a Juliana designer set!

Recently, I did acquire a very similar set in a different color-way, but it was also somewhat different than this set. Plus, I really had the desire to find the iridescent black colored set as shown in the photo. Although the demi-parure was not signed by the designer, as I mentioned above, it possibly could have been a Juliana set.

Life goes on when you miss out on the chance to acquire a set like this, but the odds are that the price in the future will be far higher, IF you even find the same vintage jewelry treasure again.

But, don't worry, be happy and continue your search for other vintage jewelry pieces and keep up the passion for the eye candy. Although you may not ever find that special set or jewelry item you once had your eye on, you'll find some other fine treasures along the way.

About Vintage Jewelry Hunt

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 08:00:00 +0000

Around 1985 I purchased my first vintage jewelry treasures. Two necklaces caught my eye, which I purchased from an antique dealer. After making those first two vintage jewelry purchases I didn't realize that it would become my passion years later.

In January 2003 I signed up for eBay and quickly discovered how easy it was to collect vintage jewelry from my desk chair! Coming around to the current time, I now regret the fact that I didn't hunt down lots of vintage jewelry from antique stores, flea markets and yard sales when the prices were still quite reasonable. I also have the same regret in regards to not buying more on eBay, when the prices for the unique sets often started at only $9.99, and when fewer people collected vintage jewelry.

Many of the sets that I would have gladly purchased at such low starting prices, cannot be purchased or won for less than hundreds of dollars! Designer sets from Selro, Selini, Judy Lee, and Juliana, are only a few examples that were once reasonable, and easier to come by. Now that vintage jewelry treasures are becoming more difficult to locate, and due to the increase of collectors, "quantity and demand" equates to higher prices.

As any collector of vintage jewelry, I not only enjoy the eye candy that comes from a vintage jewelry item or set, but I also enjoy the hunt for the treasure, and especially when out of town exploring new places. It's always a good way to remember a place that you visited, if you purchased a special treasure to connect the time and place.

When I purchase vintage jewelry on eBay sometimes it ends up being a disappointment, but most of the time I'm happy to receive what I won and purchased. The vintage items of jewelry that don't suit my fancy go back up for sale, with the hope that another collector will find them during their hunt for vintage treasures as candidates for their personal collection. As they say, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." and with the variety found in vintage jewelry, someone is bound to enjoy an item that I may have found to be less desirable.

Years ago I thought about starting a blog about my passion for vintage jewelry, but now that I'm ready to sell vintage jewelry on eBay again, I thought this would be a good time to start blogging about my passion for vintage jewelry. When you visit Vintage Jewelry Hunt, you can enjoy some of the vintage jewelry in my personal collection, vintage treasure troves I find along the way, and you can also snoop through my listings of vintage jewelry when I'm selling on eBay.

Have fun with your hunt for vintage jewelry and treasures, and be sure to come back and frequently visit Vintage Jewelry Hunt; where your love for vintage jewelry is transformed into a treasure hunt!
