Vintage Jewelry “Redux”

I love collecting signed costume jewelry, but what about the unsigned beauties? How about some vintage jewelry redux?

You know, I recently came across a gorgeous vintage clear rhinestone brooch that alas, had no signature. It very much looks like a Juliana piece, although it probably isn't (I've never seen a clear rhinestone Juliana). Nevertheless, it's a lovely pin, and I bought it anyway -- it deserves to be loved!

Vintage Jewelry Redux

My friend Jennie sent me an email this morning, regarding a book called Vintage Redux: Remake Classic and Collectible Jewelry. Thank you, Jennie, it gives me an idea of what I can do with some of these unsigned beauties! I immediately went to Amazon and put one in my cart.

There are all kinds of interesting unsigned vintage jewelry pieces out there, and some are very lovely. Don't forget there are also lots of vintage beaded necklaces, unsigned (especially faux pearls). Wouldn't it be neat to put the various pieces together to form new jewelry, but with a past?

Well, once again I like ebay for vintage jewelry supplies. Look for where you can get all kinds of neat supplies. Click on the link above for a big list, and below is a tiny example of what's available.
