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.

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

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.

Found this unusual ancient horse prehistoric brooch in ceramic. It depicts a horse that was drawn by a prehistoric man on cave walls. Had this up for sale for ages. No one was interested. So it went into my personal jewellery collection

Tyrannosaurus Rex dinosaur necklace in green Perspex plastic with a silver tone chain. Brought this new at a Clothes Show at the NEC a few years ago. 

Tyrannosaurus Rex dinosaur glow in the dark necklace. Only it no longer glows. Brought this from China new a few years ago. A plastic dinosaur animal with a ring attached to hold a chain.

Pterodactyl dinosaur brooch in a pewter metal. Brought second hand from a vintage fair a few years ago now. Well made and I haven't seen one like it since

Brought these brooches from a car boot. Brought quite a lot that the sellers had for sale. Kept one of each and sold some of the rest. Unfortunately some perished in storage in a fire. There is a triceratops brooch by BJ in gold tone.  A stegosaurus dinosaur pin brooch by BJ in gold tone. Three plesiosaurus dinosaur brooches in enamel colours of green, blue and bronze/gold. All signed BJ. 

T Rex small hook earrings for pierced ears. In a gold tone and found second hand at a car boot sale. Both dinosaur are in a different posed shape. 

 Triceratops dinosaur necklace in a bronze tone metal. It has an unusual part to the bale of a tulip. This is on the reverse - last picture. Not sure if this is just a mark or a copyright signature?

Tyrannosaurus Rex dinosaur keyring and a Godzilla dinosaur keyring in plastic. Both brought second hand at a car boot sale. 

Brontosaurus dinosaur pendant necklace in an antique silver tone. Brought from a car boot and originally made in China

Now to put together another display. So have a good month. 

Dinosaur jewellery fun to collect review

Each year I usually choose a geek theme to collect in jewellery. In 2013 I choose dinosaur jewellery as that years theme. It has to be cheap and fun to wear. I set a limit at about £15 but rather pay just 50p or less if I can. Pound shops always seem to have the fun jewellery that is aimed at children. Yes I don't think that I will ever grow up! Back to the dinosaur jewels - it can be previously owned or new stuff. Not that I ever wear any of it. I just see what I can find and show here on my blog. So after 2012's alien jewellery collection - here are the photographs of what I found in jewellery with prehistoric dinosaurs...

This is hard to see, but its a skeleton of a Tyrannosaurus Rex necklace. Fashioned in opaque white plastic and quite big.  Brought this as a pre owned piece. Most of the dinosaur jewellery appears to be made from the children's plastic figurines. Now that's an idea to try!

Large dinosaur keyring. Not sure what sort of pre historic animal this was and what it was actually called. Again quite large in plastic. Think this one looks like Godzilla!

Cute pterodactyl brooch in pewter. Found this at an antique fair! Unusual and just what I was looking for... Maybe I would wear this to a dinosaur convention if there is such a thing!

This I brought new. A stretch bracelet that you can add the links in with different pictures on. So here is my dinosaur bracelet with different animals on.

Again another new buy from that great auction website that you can get so much stuff that you didn't realise you wanted!! This dinosaur necklace is in an all silver tone. Quite cute if you like dinosaurs, especially when this looks like a Loch Ness monster necklace!

A big horned dinosaur that is very familiar but for the life of me I could not name it - so googled and found this was a Triceratops necklace.

Last for now is this green Perspex Tyrannosaurus Rex (T Rex) necklace. Medium in size and fabulous kitsch wear. Now unfortunately we had a bad 2013 family wise and so my collection took  a step back. But in 2015 I am able to revive it and so will add more through out this year as well as aliens. Because when you start something like this its difficult to stop. But for 2015 I think the theme will be witch and Halloween jewellery. I already have a few pieces which I will show in a future blog. Have fun with your own geek jewellery collections..
