Prehistoric animal jewellery display

 Showing my prehistoric jewellery display

Over the last 2 months. I have had a Halloween display and then changed it to a prehistoric animal jewellery display. Next of course will be some of the Christmas jewellery that I have collected. 

Annual jewellery collections:

One of my yearly collections a few years back was to source cheap and cheerful costume jewellery in the shape of prehistoric animals. It had to be either new or second hand. At the time it was not popular, but the year after it took off. But I was onto another themed collection by that point. So this was the ones I collected.

Dinosaur bracelet stretch type

Silver metal stretch bracelet with black dinosaur images on. Brought this one new. Can change the images as required. 

Green mammoth dinosaur brooch
Brought this at a Christmas fair at a school. It was a hand made mammoth dinosaur brooch in green plastic. Unfortunately the glue holding the mammoth was not strong enough. So will have to repair this one.
Ancient horse prehistoric brooch
