My first encounter with colorful costume jewelry was as a child when my Dad spoiled me with wonderful barrettes and necklaces, and later to elegant rings. That was some 50+ years ago and I'm still drawn to beautiful things ... classy, flashy, elegant. They all find a place in my personal collections to complement my many personas. But one thing in common they must all have is quality. No flimsy fakes. Don't get me wrong, I love and collect vintage costume jewelry that mimics the real thing, but again I'm talking quality.
And that's exactly what [you will find here] I search for and sell ... quality. I don't buy anything that I would not be proud to wear myself and/or add to my collection which is ever changing or I'd go broke. My favorite jewelry eras are the Art Deco period and the Transitional period when the elegant filigree Edwardian jewelry was popular. I'm also drawn to antique cameos and am in awe at some of the intricate hand carving that has survived over the years.
I pride myself on selecting unique quality pieces [for my customers]. Though pre-owned you will find all items are in very good condition with minor flaws noted.
... and yes, you are right. I still do have those wonderful pieces of jewelry my Dad gave me. Eventually my granddaughters will be the lucky recipients of them.
