Beautiful
1976 'Romanesque' AVON Silvertone Filigree Cross
An example of the best in Avon jewelry featured in several books, this pendant is one of the most popular and beloved pieces of Avon jewelry. My mother had one of these, and I have my own and wear it occasionally. Beautiful multi-colored glass navette cabs imitate different colors of gemstones--faux lapis, jade, turquoise and coral. The round center stone imitates hematite very effectively. The setting is a remarkable antiqued beaded filigree openwork which includes heart-shaped motifs. Well made with a good weight, the dimensions of the cross is 3" long x 2" wide, and is suspended from a textured 23 1/2" textured link chain with spring-ring clasp. Signed Avon in back. Excellent condition. $24

Avon Summer Lights Wide Multicolor Lucite Stretch Bangle Turn you summer outfits from plain to snazzy with this bangle. Nobody did thermoset like Avon. Once you've handled some of their older thermoset pieces, it's clear the quality is as high as Lisner and Kramer thermoset jewelry. Thick thermoset wave pieces are seamless Lucite with saturated color, some swirly. Separate white pieces are lodged between two by two arrangements in each bright color--true RED, banana yellow, royal blue and pure color- crayon green (which, for some strange reason, looks light blue inn the Side view scan). The bangle is 1 3/8" wide and heavy for it's size. If your wrist is small to medium, this one will fit perfectly. If you have a large wrist, this bangle won't fit you--yes it stretches, but it will squeeze like the dickens if you wear the wrong size.Excellent condition. This will arrive in the original box, but the box is in poor condition, so the price is no higher than it would be without the box. A bargain at $28.
