This was just a sad little jumbled heap in the Value Village jewellery case, but the deal diva in me was sure she'd picked up the scent of something special when she saw it there. A double strand plastic necklace with a clasp stamped "West Germany", this amazing find was a mere $4.99. Not sure of it's worth or even it's era (it's got to be post WWII ... I'm guessing 1950s or 1960s), though I've seen West German plastic necklaces on the website of vintage jwellery doyenne, Carole Tanenbaum (www.caroletanenbaum.com) selling for $300-$500. I have some people in mind who may be able to give me a sense of its history, so I'll report back with any news. I have heaps more thrift store jewellery news and an article I wrote too, which I'll post soon!
