What's In The Box: Lucite Jewellery Stash

This small vintage suitcase has been sitting in my office for months, unopened. As a holiday treat to myself I decided to finally open it and liberate its contents. Oh the joy of a “what’s in the box?” moment! Here's what I found inside...

A mountain of beautifully hand-painted lucite jewellery. Made of solid colour moulded or cut acrylic each piece is beautiful hand-painted with a small picture or floral design. There are bracelets, calendar tiles and hundreds of brooches.

Hand-painted vintage lucite bracelets

Hand-painted vintage lucite brooches

The painted details range from flower baskets to bluebirds. A homage to Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, calendar tiles dated 1952 and a group of brooches illustrated with images of Ceylon date this jewellery to between 1948 to 1951. All these brooches will make their way into the vintage jewellery section of our shop over the next two months.
