I love vintage jewelry. I have several pieces from my Grandma and a couple that I bought at flea markets. I really like that they're different from the "run of the mill" and the detail and quality is amazing. Here's just a few of my favorite pieces of vintage bling. 
The pins...A beautifully carved red coral, a pink glass bow, and the blue rhinestone is a Weiss. I wear the blue bracelet all the time.
There are two hinged enamel (container) pieces. I think the pink roses one is a pill box and the Egyptian is a pendant and has a small mirror inside, probably a compact.
I think there was an Egyptian revival sometime in the 1920's, so it probably dates to around that time. I also love this hand painted pin with gorgeous violets.
The flea markets around here will be starting up soon. I can't wait to get out and find more treasures.
I am also coming up on my one year Blog-iversary and I'll be doing a Give-away! Please stop back to find out all the details. :)
Pretty jewelry Kimberly!!

I love vintage jewellry. There is something about it that is so fascinating. Who were the ladies who wore it? Where did they go? How did it end up in a vintage store?
ReplyDeleteThey are all just lovely!
Hope all is well...
