I used to thrift shop as a teenager and bought costume jewelry for cheap. Not as many people collected this stuff back then. Plus the older women that were getting rid of their jewelry had been young during the 20s-40s. If I could go back I would not be so lazy and work harder for money to get more of these beauties. It wasn't long before lots of people were searching for vintage jewelry and the prices shot up. Oh, to find 1930's brooches for 25 cents again!
What does vintage jewelry have to do with sewing? If you haven't noticed, nearly everything I make is out of solid colors or subtle prints --all the better to load the vintage jewelry on!

Great post! I love the old fashion jewelry. Leaves are so fun to wear to. Also ,perfect for pinning scarves.
Just a thought but did you know that you can both loosen clip earrings so don't pinch and get comfort cushions so it's just right? I know some brands like your Sarah Coventrys, come very tight by default which I guess you can understand as some people have slender lobes whilst others have more generous ones.
At any rate, they are far too gorgeous to stay on the dresser gathering dust! What a find!
No, I didn't know that! Thanks!
