 Magazine advertising from years past is one of the most exciting reference sources for attributing and dating vintage jewelry. These wonderful old ads illustrate how jewelry was worn, when it was made, and how it coordinated with the styles of the time.

GINGER MORO is the author of  the magnificent book, "European Designer Jewelry". She was kind enough to share photos from her days as a Starlet, and a beautifully bejeweled one at that!

  GINGER SAYS:
"Yul Brynner invited me into his dressing room on the Paramount lot when he heard me singing French songs outside his window. Turns out we both sang at the same cabaret in Paris, altho' 10 years apart. He sang Russian songs and I sang in French. He was charming, as you can imagine, and took that picture of me wearing the Haskell earrings. He had several gallery shows of his photography which was more than a hobby with him. He was a multi-talented artist."

  This picture was taken by actor Yul Bryner.  Shortly after this, Ginger moved to Paris for 16 years and got involved in the jewelry business. The white bead earrings are Miriam Haskell

The man being interviewed on the right was actor William Holden.  Ginger's black velvet dress was worn by Liz Taylor in "A Place in the Sun" (designer Edith Head). Jewelry is a strand of faux pearls tied with a matching black velvet ribbon.

TO ORDER

PLEASE NOTE: Regretfully, it is no longer possible to respond to individual questions regarding jewelry history, identification or value, or to offer written or verbal appraisals or opinions. The demand for this kind of information is absolutely too overwhelming for one dealer to fill. 
I love jewelry, but appraising and selling are two entirely different businesses, and I choose selling as my business.

Instead, articles are added on a regular basis to JEWEL CHAT on line Magazine, a wonderful reference for  information on many makers and styles of vintage jewelry.
