Rhinestone Purses - Fact & Tips

 


Lovely Vintage Rhinestone Evening Purse


<<<< Back to Rhinestone Purses

 

This vintage 1940's rhinestone handbag is very sweet and appealing with all prong set clear white stones, all present.

The tone on this rhinestone purse has a softer more subtle sheen, not as stark as some rhinestones, but certainly not dull at all, in fact, it has a wonderful vintage look with plenty of life.




    

The body of this purse has three gentle pleats up towards the frame, on both sides and is very well attached all around.  The front of the frame has a decorative embellishment of pasted rhinestones in a scalloped overlay that is secured to the frame, all stones accounted for.   This purse is not signed but it set with a specific flat backed style of rhinestone that I have seen used on signed Czechoslovakian and German rhinestone handbags.  The kissing closure is in solid working order and the snake chain handle drops the purse by 5 inches.

    

The interior golden satiny lining has a pocket and is in very fine condition as is the entire purse.  The frame and chain shows a little aged patination and wear here and there but not offensive in my opinion.  The kissing clasp has a nice snug closure. Sitting, stuffed with tissue paper, this adorable little purse measures 4 & 3/4  inches tall by 6 & 1/2 wide and the body bulges out about 2 inches.  I believe you'll enjoy adding this vintage rhinestone purse to your wardrobe accessories.  It is in very wonderful vintage condition with very few stones showing any darkening at all, a treasure to carry.
