Vintage Gemstone Clip Art


"These gems have life in them:
their colors speak,
say what words fail of."


~ George Eliot ~


These vintage gems are
ready to be used in your artwork.
The first 3 images are in their original
color. The others were altered, but
not to be the color of any particular
gemstone. They all have a
transparent background.


I found the original gems
on birthday postcards:


November ~ topaz
April ~ diamond
February ~ amethyst



Thank you for stopping by!

1902 Music & Pink Roses




Because

Because you come to me with naught save love,
And hold my hand and lift mine eyes above,
A wider world of hope and joy I see,
Because you come to me.

Because you speak to me in accents sweet,
I find the roses waking round my feet,
And I am led through tears and joy to thee,
Because you speak to me.

Because God made thee mine,
I'll cherish thee, through light and darkness,
Through all time to be, And pray His love
May make our love divine,
Because God made thee mine.

~ Edward Teschemacher ~


The "Because" sheet music title page
(copyright 1902) as well as rose postcard
are images from my personal collection
of ephemera.  Feel free to incorporate
them into your artwork!
