Description: Part of Avon's collectible Frost Lights line, this pendant centers a softly carved pink camphor glass panel — its starburst rays fanning outward from a single sparkling clear rhinestone — set within an ornate gold-tone octagonal frame trimmed with beaded detailing and scrollwork bail. Camphor glass, with its milky translucence and frosted surface, was a hallmark of Edwardian jewelry later revived by mid-century designers for its quiet, otherworldly glow. The pendant sits at a flattering length on a delicate rope chain. A well-loved collectible in wearable condition.

Two heart-shaped stones nestle together in an offset toi et moi setting — one deep garnet red, one clear crystal — each bezel-set and accented by small prong-set rhinestones at the corners.

A bold piece from Avon’s glamorous 1980s design era. This 1984 Avon “Pavé” statement necklace pairs structured geometry with fluid chainwork, creating a piece that feels both architectural and softly draped.

Multiple woven chains form a flexible collar that gathers into a dramatic drop, accented with rhinestone-set bars and a central square pavé crystal panel. The clustered stones create a surface of light, catching reflections from every angle while the gold tone mesh chains move naturally with the wearer.

This necklace captures that era beautifully — structured, glamorous, and unmistakably vintage.

There’s a calm elegance to it—mid-century in spirit, but timeless in form. Light, fluid, and quietly expressive.

Three deep forest-green baguette stones set diagonally across the face, flanked by rows of prong-set clear rhinestones, a composition that nods to Art Deco geometry while sitting firmly in the 1970s.

Description
A marquise-shaped panel of oxidized silver-tone filigree frames a single purple rhinestone at its center — petite teardrops and a beaded border arranged with the quiet geometry of a medieval reliquary.

A large emerald-cut aqua blue rhinestone dominates this silver-tone Avon ring, set high in a four-prong corner setting with open scrollwork shoulders that keep the design light despite the stone's scale.

A sleek vintage expansion bracelet with a quiet, modern presence. The design features a continuous band of narrow black panels set into a silver-tone expansion base, creating a striking contrast of dark gloss and cool metal.

Cobalt and ice-blue enamel layered over a sculpted gold-tone body — this parrot perches on a naturalistic branch with the casual confidence of something that belongs in a terrarium or a rain forest, not a jewelry box.

A pink rose floats against a sky-blue enamel ground, its petals rendered with a confident, unhurried hand — the kind of detail that asks to be looked at closely.
