One of my favorite parts of having Jean Jean Vintage is all of the jewelry research I get to do. I've got two big piles of reference books (almost two dozen now!) next to my desk and I love trying to figure out the mystery of a jeweler's mark, the dating of a transitional piece, or the name for a particular type of faceting. It fulfills the graduate student in me.
Sometimes, though, there are things that you can't find in books. Like the symbols on this bracelet I found last week. I had fun figuring out what they mean and I thought you might, too. If you want to play this sleuthing game, here are the rules: Send me a note via the Say Hello tab on this blog properly identifying the six enamel charms on the bracelet and you'll be entered to win a coupon for 15% off your next order in the shop. The game lasts 24 hours. I'll announce the winner in this post!
Update || These charms are European road signs, probably ca. 1940s-1950s, counter clockwise: Parking, No Parking, Dangerous bend/curve, Gated level crossing/railroad, Crossroads, No waiting/parking. Everyone did a great job but the official winner is Anneke! Thank you for playing!
