Bracelet with Rhinestone Telephone Box
Cute bracelet with a telephone charm attached. The phone box opens up and can be used to hold change, pills or whatever you can fit into it!
This bracelet can be found in "Unsigned Beauties of Costume Jewelry" by Marcia "Sparkles" Brown on page 165.

Miriam Haskell Pin
This is a very old Haskell pin that I sold last year. I believe it is from the 1940's. Mother of Pearl shell with pate de verre beads, brass (?) and wood accents.
Miriam Haskell jewelry is very collectible and can sell for a lot if you have the right piece. Her baroque pearl necklaces usually sell well. But most people prefer the flashier necklaces that are just dripping with beads. Her items have a distinguished look, which makes way for lots of fakes and look-alikes. Be careful when purchasing Haskell jewelry, try to know something about it besides the name. I would refer to as many costume jewelry books as possible and research Haskell style and eras.
Here is another Haskell piece that I used to own:
