Seen here are a marriage of three pieces from the Stylebuilt/Saks Fifth Avenue line of vanity or dressing table accessories that your grandmother or even great granny might have used from the 1950's. The gilt or overlay here is rhodium which is actually in the platinum family. The stones are turquoise, aqua-ish thermoset ( except this example which I sold last year that has a rare red thermoset stone), and all rhinestones have an aurora borealis or irisdescent rainbow overlay.
The lipstick caddy that is round with green stones is further accentuated with pearls. These are my babies, my gilty pleasures. I have more than I need so I keep buying anyway. Why? because I am addicted to their beauty, the stories real and imagined of the women who may have used them in their beauty regemines/rituals, and most of all the shine and flourishing glory that is eye candy for me. I can endlessly arrange a collection on a vanity stand or dresser with differing laces and long necklaces or shawls, purses and the like depending on mood and desired effect. They appear in gold, silver, rhodium and it has even crossed me mind to alter some of the worn pieces for a more gothic boudoir look. Ah, the purist in me has a hard time with this, but the temptation is there.

Here are a couple of other pics that I will be adding to a listing in my shop on Etsy. I am running so far behind here due to have a lumbar fusion last fall and a corrective procedure for that done a month ago.
Can you possibly imagine the fun that that was? Anyway, it's good to be back and to put a stronger effort in putting out the word on behalf of gilty pleasures and vintage adventures.
