Next to this is a wonderful movie clip of the 1936 screwball comedy "My Man Godfrey" (William Powell) showing Carole Lombard wearing a blue star sapphire and diamond clip at her throat and a matching ring on her finger (not shown). If you are a lover of 30's jewelry, become a fan of the Turner Movie Channel where so many of these 30's movies can be seen, commercial free. It is a real treat for both vintage jewelry and classic movie lovers like me!

An advertisement from the Marshall Field's Christmas 1939 catalog.
The caption says, "Rhinestone set in rhodium-finished white metal for the
bracelet.  $6.50  Matching clipmate brooch which separates into a pair of
clips.  $6.50". This also tells us that they were using rhodium plate as early as 1939.
