Need help please, have looked in books almost everywhere. I have never seen red jappaned jewelry. The red rhinestones have gold foil backs. I could see the edge of one from a close inspection, The red almost has an aurora borealis effect, you know, reflecting extra purple,vilolets and blue hues. No plaques or signatures anywhere.
They sparkle plenty and are 'cherry cute'
I want to list them for the holiday [Valentine's] So, come on experts tell me what you think. All input greatly appreciated.:adore:

I would call it Japanned. The red rhinestones could have an AB (aurora borealis) coating - they come in all colors. I would date the set early '60's. Perfect for Valentine's Day!

NATURAL LIGHT PHOTO for the RED JEWELS

I took a natural light shot.. you are so right you can see all the details in the twine-ing red metal, the little flower petals around the red stones and the twists which are actually vines.
the pic is on the original post [black background]
 
Linn uses a scanner, which is fabulous for detail, too. i find shooting in natural light on a white or light surface usually draws attention to the piece and shows detail best for me.

i can't remember...that was soooo long ago...most SC was marked, too...so maybe it was just similar and from the same era, and yes 1960s.

and thanks @ the mannni. she's one that i bought from Marge Crunkleton ~ i just love her, too! :)
