Fabulous 40's and 50's...Fake is fun!!!

Precious jewelry and its value is almost always based on current market value for the metals and stones that it is composed of...Costume jewelry...on the other hand can rapidly climb in value based purely on demand from trends in fashion and rarity...decades after its hay-day...

Below are a few examples of some that I have run across in my estate sale travels...
The first photo is a Coro locket brooch, the second photo is a cuff bracelet with a snake- skin texture...

Pretty Vintage...

Vintage, retro, antique...these are more than just adjectives to describe something in a "prettier" manner...They can be synonymous with valuable, collectible, and precious...A healthy fascination with history in general fuels my appreciation for pretties that have seen better days. Clothing, purses, costume jewelry, perfume bottles, etc. name just a few of the beautiful little things that brighten my day. I love the idea of where and with whom these items have traveled....From odd to ordinary in their respective decades of production- having a chance meeting with even the smallest token is a moment to remember...

Here are a few that I have run across and been able to find enough research to establish their history... This one is a vintage gold tone La Rel shades of yellow glass rhinestone bracelet with hinged closure
