Phew, the time really flies! I have so much to show you! First I just have to share the most gorgeous vintage rhinestones I bought. These were made by Swarovski and are still in original package with K. S & Co writings.
The faceting in square shape is crisp and sharp! The color is marked "Rauchtopas" for smoked topaz in German. But it doesn't look anything like color "Smoked topaz" Swarovski is producing today. These stones have the softest color more likely to be described as champagne or such. It reminds me of the citrine stones in antique jewelry.
