Collectable Christmas Jewelry

It may seem a little early in the year to be talking about Christmas costume jewelry, but not really. You see, Christmas jewelry (especially Christmas tree pins) are collected year around.

Collecting Christmas Trees

Christmas Tree Pin Signed Gerry

I haven't gotten much into Christmas tree pins yet, but I know it won't be long before I succumb. Back in the mid-80's to mid-90's, I bought lots of contemporary Christmas pins, to wear in November and December. Sometimes I kept the pins, sometimes a stone fell out or I just decided I didn't like it and...bye-bye pin!

I'm a little more careful these days with my pins; you can see one to the right (and you can click to enlarge the photo). It's signed "Gerry's" and since it's relatively recent, it's not in high demand. Guess I'll have to wait a few more years for that. Meanwhile, I do think it's pretty, and it's in excellect condition. One day!

There are some beautiful and very collectable vintage Christmas tree pins out there. Most of the major manufacturers made them, and some like Beatrix really specialized in these little pieces of art.

Let's see, who else made some gorgeous pins? Weiss and Eisenberg certainly. JJ made some nice trees, as did Hollycraft, Art and Coro. Really, the list could go on and on.

It's never too soon (or in my case, too late) to start , be they trees, weaths, figures or something else that fits the holliday. Meanwhile, here are a few for you to peruse -- enjoy!
