Vintage Regency Three Piece Rhinestone and Glass Set|Amazing Adornments Jewel of the Month






Vintage Signed Regency Three
Piece Rhinestone Parure

Some of the most elaborate stones I have ever come across have been on jewels by this New York company. 



It is thought that the Regina Novelty Company began producing jewelry during the 1950s.  There isn't an abundance of information about the company, but their pieces are well made and are often compared to Schreiner jewels. 

The rhinestone butterfly pins produced by Regency are best sellers. They are often confused with Weiss and DeLizza and Elster butterfly pins.  


This is a beautiful set consisting of a bracelet, necklace and clip- on earrings.


The larger stones are baroque faux pearls in cream and brown. When you view them up close, you can see delicate
contrasting stripes. Some of the navettes have an iridescent coating that
shimmers when the light hits them.

Rhinestone and Glass Parure
 Most of the company's pieces are pricey, especially the ones with elaborate stones.  I recently saw a set that used saphiret stones in a costume jewelry book valued at $600.00!  Pieces found online or at auctions can also command top dollar again depending on the stones used.


 Happy Halloween!
