What do you do with the vintage jewelry you collect? Do you wear it? Do you display it? Do you craft with it?
I remember last year at Christmas time, there were several ebayers selling the COOLEST shabby chic type Christmas trees that were laden with vintage jewels. They were absolutely STUNNING! In the last thread, an ebayer said she creates new jewelry with the old, mixing the old and new together - very clever!
There are a few pieces that I really, really want to keep and wear . . . but they would really require an evening dress and night out! I don't have the occasion for events like this anymore. (Hmmm . . . maybe I need to create some.)
I'm thinking I want to display some . . . right now that means it is laying out on black velvet waiting for a buyer or photography. There must be a better way! I plan to redo my bedroom with a boutique hotel theme using my Grandmother's antique bedroom suite. Maybe I can create a couple shadow boxes with my favorite pieces?
Tell me, tell me . . . what do you do with your vintage jewelry?
