Hello Peggy and thank you for your inquiry. The best place to look for old jewelry ads is in vintage magazines from the era. You can find them at thrift stores, antique stores and sometimes for auction at ebay.com.  Look for old magazines at garage and estate sales. Some of the magazines that had ads are Post, Better Homes and Gardens, Vogue, Town and Country, and many more. For years most people collected only the covers of these magazines and the ad contents got destroyed.  It's a fun area of collecting.  I've listed a site below that has a lot of these ads but I don't believe they are for sale. You might try contacting her for some additional information. Just copy and paste the below url into your browser address field.  Good luck !
