Rare Mirella Jewellery by W A P Watson

Following an very wet and hail stormed weekend, this week has been one of change.
First our teenage daughter has brought her first car. Her brother is a bit more laid back and is still looking. Thank goodness as I do not think I could cope with both at the same time

She is still a learner driver and will be taking her test soon. So for the last few days she has cleaned, added air fresheners and customized her little black car

Took her out driving yesterday evening and it was one of the few times we fell out!
Am I so out of date with driving correctly or has the whole lesson and testing got sloppy?
Well needless to say she is being quite frosty towards me last night. I am worried that her driving lessons are not teaching her the basics and she won't pass her test. Maybe when she has calmed down this morning we can talk it through. Or she may do the teenage thing and go off in a mega sulk!!

Well just a quick look at a piece of vintage jewellery that I brought on Ebay a few months ago now. I did not realize that W A P Watson also produced jewellery under the Mirella name as well as Exquisite. The seller had 2 brooches for sale but some one had already a bid on the one so, I went for the other only.

The second signature says REG.

Very rare jewellery as I have not seen any other jewellery in the last 3 years that I have been actively looking. This is now in my own collection and not for resale.

Exquisite jewellery for sale on our website Jewels and Finery

Pretty diamante stone brooch Signed Exquisite

Mother of Pearl Brooch signed Exquisite

The last brooch is heavier than the other brooches that I have in this style. So believe this is an earlier made version compared to the other two same brooches I now have.

Still to come in this blog: vintage jewellery book reviews, dating vintage jewellery and how to replace stones.

Also an announcement on our website redesign that we are so excited about
