FEATURE: Rainbow Iris Glass Beads

What is Iris Glass?

Thanks to www.glassmenagerie.com for the information

Iris  or "Iris and Herringbone" was produced by the Jeannette Glass Company of Jeannette, Pennsylvania.  The Jeannette company existed from 1898 and closed for good in 1983.  The Iris pattern was so named because of the full relief molded leaves and flowers of Iris decorating the main body of every piece and surrounded entirely with a fine Herringbone pattern.  All bases in the original production lines had a "rayed" base pattern as well. 

MY STYLE: Whispers of Autumn, Woolen Weave sweater, boot warmers, and vintage pin

FEATURED: Marcasite Brooch

What is Marcasite?

Here is Wikipedia's Answer: 

"The mineral marcasite, sometimes called white iron pyrite, 

is iron sulfide (FeS₂) with orthorhombic crystal structure. (different from pyrite.)"

However, marcasite is not typically used in jewelry.  Here is wiki on the matter:

"Marcasite jewelry is jewelry made from pyrite (fool's gold), not, as the name suggests, from marcasite.[1] Pyrite is similar to marcasite, but more stable and less brittle. Marcasite jewellery has been made since the time of the Ancient Greeks.[2] It was particularly popular in the eighteenth century, the Victorian eraand with Art Nouveau jewellery designers.[2][3] It is frequently made by setting small pieces of pyrite into silver.[3] Cheaper costume jewelry is made by glueing pieces of pyrite rather than setting.[2] A similar-looking type of jewellery can be made from small pieces of cut steel.[1][2]"

FEATURED: Marcel Boucher Brouch Set

"Wikipedia  states that "Marcel Boucher (1898–1965) was a French jeweller. In the early 1920s, he moved to New York City where he developed a passion for jewellery design, studying under Pierre Cartier as an apprentice.^[1] By the 1930s, he was working for Mazer Brothers. However, in 1937 he decided to establish his own company, which he called Marcel Boucher and Cie."

Illusion Jewels states "  Mark:   LeC      with number   -- short for "Le Couturier" rare mark for high end line of Canadian made Marcel Boucher jewelry. Photos and information courtesy Sheryl Hamilton from research of Terri DeLany."


Both the brooch and earrings has the LeC marking. :)

FEATURED: The Royal Scots

Wikipedia has so many interesting details to say about the Royal Scots, I enjoyed reading these and thought perhaps you might also.  For more pictures view here.

"The Royal Scots (The Royal Regiment), once known as the Royal Regiment of Foot, was the oldest, and therefore most senior, infantryregiment of the line in the British Army, having been raised in 1633 during the reign of Charles I of Scotland. The regiment existed until 2006, when it amalgamated with the King's Own Scottish Borderers to become the Royal Scots Borderers, 1st Battalion of the newly formed Royal Regiment of Scotland. ....

Nicknames[edit]

Their nickname as Pontius Pilate's bodyguard, originated from a 17th-century boasting contest with the French Regiment of Picardy, who boasted that prior to the Resurrection Christ's tomb was guarded by the French regiment. Both claims are, of course, baseless.

The Royal Scots were also known as "First of foot, right of the line and the pride of the British army". The 9th (Territorial) Battalion (later after amalgamation with the 7th Battalion, known as the 7th/9th Battalion) was known as "The Dandy Ninth", being the only kilted battalion of this lowland regiment which was originally formed from highlanders who emigrated to the Edinburgh area.

The 9th were originally one of the Queen's Edinburgh Rifles volunteer battalions. The 2nd Battalion was sardonically referred to as "The First to Foot It" during the Battle of Hong Kong.^[50]"
