Vintage Costume Jewelry and You
Costume jewelry is one of those things that you don't think much about, until you have that "ah-hah!" moment.
I mean, we pretty much all grew up with some form of jewelry, even if it was just hair ribbons. And as we grew older, we graduated to department store jewelry. Then eventually, the jewelry store called our names. We got our 14 Kt gold, our sterling silver or other precious metals, and called it good.
But wait. Where's the joy in in? When did it disappear? I think somewhere between the department store and jewelry store is where we said farewell to costume jewelry, even if we didn't realize it.
We miss the sparkle and flash and the fun! We're so used to wearing what's "right for the office" that we forget to wear jewelry for ourselves as well. We wear what pleases us, and I think you'll admit -- you like sparkly jewelry, too!
This site is dedicated to the person in all of us who loves jewelry, especially vintage costume jewelry. It's for anyone who wants to learn about these wonderful baubles that so enchanted generations before us.
It's also for anyone who wants to learn how to buy it, safely, without paying a too-high price by accident.
And of course, it's for anyone who just loves looking at beautiful items. Whether precious metal, silver-tone or gold-tone, we love our wonderful vintage costume jewelry!
For today, I'll leave you with one of my favorite costume jewelry designers, . I'll talk more about this fabulous designer later, but for now, it's time for eye candy!
