I wear mostly vintage jewelry, I always have,
my love for vintage and antique jewelry stated over 30 years
ago when my MIL gave me a few of her mother's
necklaces that dated from around 1900..
Here are just a few of my favorite pieces.

These cameos my mom got
at a tag sale in the 70's for 10 cent each.
She was always able to find exceptional stuff at tag sales.
she gave them to me as a gift in 1991,
I was one happy girl that day.

I display the cameos on top of a pile of old buttons
placed in an opal hob knob vase...
I don't like to hide favorite pieces away.

A Persian turquoise pin from the late 1800's .
The beads are Navajo Pearls from 1942...
I wear both of these a lot...the pin looks great on a jean jacket.
