I have not had much luck lately in my hunts but I nabbed these from a few thrift stores. Both the bracelets are unsigned, The silver flower brooch is KJL, Brooch on the bottom is BSK and the green flower is unsigned.
BSK is one of my favorites, I think you got some cool looking pieces!
Hi, I just took a look at all your pieces and of the several bags of this type jewelry I have, it looks as if it came from the same time period and maybe from the same store. There are some that have matching pieces such as a necklace and matching earrings, Bracelets, broaches and such. It would be an all day and all night affair X two just to sort it all out and take the pics. Then the listing/posting of the same really looks like a quite massive undertaking. I have taken literally 300 pictures of at least half that many items and I've only scratched the surface. I am beginning to think I have a problem collecting all this stuff, but question whether I'm ready for a "hoarding intervention". At least I can still walk comfortably through my house. Actually I use to be able to. Now I have stuff all over the floor, couches, tables and chairs out to photograph. I'm glad I work for myself so I can take all the time I need. Sorry for the "rambling". But these pieces you have here are very nice. And all of the others as well.
I know what you mean with taking pics and listing, it can become tedious. And if the items are not something that you treasure or hold interest it can be even worse. Look for pieces that are signed or lots of rhinestones these are what collectors generally look for. Are you interested in trying to sell your jewelry or just curious as to what you have? Sorry I gotta ask its the collector in me! I myself have felt like a hoarder, but I love all my things and display them all proudly. But I do have a rule for every thing I find that I want for myself I have to get rid of two. Looking forward to seeing some more of your collections. Happy hunting!
I know it's "taboo" here to talk of selling but there are quite a few of my things I would consider letting go of. If it's something I wouldn't part with, I probably mentioned that in the description. With all due respect to your love for that type of jewelry, all of what I have has no special place in my heart. I would just use whatever proceeds to buy more silver & gold "anything". Coins are my "thing" but precious metals in all forms are definitely a "weakness" I have. Maybe a possible trade may be in order?? My email address is in my lengthy description of my Ludwig banjo uke. It was the very 1st thing I listed/posted here. If you were to write, please put vintagemad in the subject box so I don't "trash" your email by accident. Take care, Kerry
My email was actually in my comment to another comment below the description of that instrument. Don't know why I'm being so cryptic. I could have just said it here but oh well.
