<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BMRT, post: 826383, member: 10892&quot;]Just sharing where my latest mania is leading me: David Andersen’s line particularly the pieces Willy Winnaess made.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]193483[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>A bunch of this period had the small double leaf design, the smaller single leaf design, and the large single leaf. Bracelets, necklaces, brooches, and earrings all appear with this style. I have yet to stumble on a single ring. I don’t believe they made rings in this design. However that single red clip earring above may just end up on a ring with my local jewelers help. It was tossed in with the purchase of the red pair of earrings, so why not?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]193480[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>What I’ve found accredits Mr. Winnaess’ contribution to the David Andersen line around the 1950’s. The leaf designs I’m in love with all bear both the David Andersen brand and Willy’s hallmark.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]193477[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>There is such an understated beauty in the lightly gilded sterling and enamel that I never get tired of seeing.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]193482[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I’ve begun actively hunting for their pieces and am shocked at how polar opposites I am finding them in price ranges. The cheapest I’ve scored was $10 for a pair of earrings and $10 for a brooch. However I’ve watched ebay sellers gather around $40-60 for the same items. The necklaces and bracelets tend to go higher.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]193478[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope eventually I gather a parure without breaking the bank. The colors they made these in are dark blue, light blue, white, an icy grey/white, black, red, yellow, purple and my favorite the apple green.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]193487[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope you’ve enjoyed peeking at the pieces I’ve gathered so far from this style. Thank you for letting me share!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]193488[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
