Featured A vintage Le Rage powder compact bracelet.

Hi all!
I got this in a lot, and thinking it was a marriage junk piece, was about to give it to a little girl...
It appears they are collectable, and Le Rage (what a bizarre name!) is a good brand!

Diameter 4cm, all original parts!

Any compacts collector around to shed some light on this, I couldn't find same in my searches

 

Thanks Davey! Via Pinterest I found one on Ebay, sold for 100£

 

I buy compacts a lot here, and I've never seen that one. Super thing.

 

Ha, so, it seems to be a rarity
The seller I got it from even not said it was a compact... I got too a very nice memorial pendant, gold rose cut diamonds and hessonite garnet cabs... In a lot of costume jewelry....

 

Wow, gorgeous lot of jewels. Love, love, love the garnet cross - so unique (or at least unique to me).

 

Lovely lot! Nice find on that compact. I have never seen similar either and clearly has some resale $$. Fun to see these!

 

Yes Davey, a six pence 1887

 

Thanks for the wow, tie.dye
The cross was my goal for winning the bid, it has a tiny compartment at back with woven hair. The gold was oxydized from age and contact with silver in a confined place, that's why it was confused with costume

 

I looked in my book on compacts & checked the IPBA website's virtual museum, but did not see anything like this piece.

Last year the IPBA added compact collectors to our group & there is one lady who is sort of in charge of the compact division. If you would like I could see if I can find any contact information on her. She has a huge collection of all sorts of compacts.

BTW - I would have been all over that lot of jewelry. You got some stunning pieces that is for sure.

 

Now I must begin to sell, still keeping things from lots which aren't my alley

 

Wow, bercrystal, this is so kind of you that would be fantastic!
For the lot, it is the same seller I got the jade butterfly from, and some other goodies... No need to say I watch her listings

 

Very nice lot, kyra. Really love the hessonite cross, a true beauty.
The little bible, is it jet, bois durci, or something?

 

Yes! I'm totally pleased with my buy
My favorite garnets are rhodolite, love their pinkish hue.
The little bible is jet (light weight and signs of cutting.

 

Wonderful. There are collectors of bible jewellery, and jet is an added bonus of course.

 

Wow, so... another goodie
The adjustable bangle is pristine condition, 1/20 gold, wearing it just now

 

The tooth may be shark...with a gold cap.....
Great find, all in all.........good eye Kyra..!

 

Aren't shark's teeth triangular?

 

ya, but not all.....
there are many types of sharks.....but i said 'may' ..as I cant see it that well....
It doesn't look like a claw from here, or a talon.....so....?
