Vintage Jewelry Huntress

Posted by Sanity |

I have taken up a new title and hobby..."Vintage Jewelry Huntress".
This all came about one night when I was sitting around the dining room table with three wonderful women ...rummaging through one of Kevin's Nanny's jewlery boxes. Over an hour went by and we untangled most of the necklaces, earrings and bracelets, each one of us found a little treasure to take home with us. There were some really beautiful pieces, some vintage and some not. One bracelet had a signature and thank goodness for the iphone or I would have never know that the bracelet was made by a well known designer from the 1970's and this bracelet was in fact vintage.
This night sparked an idea...how cool would it be for us to carry vintage jewlery at Sanity along with our other jewlery collections.
So i went searching...first researching and then SHOPPING!
I have found some really wonderful pieces so far. Many ranging from the 1950's to the 80's. I couldn't believe that a piece from the 80's was vintage, but as long as it's over 20 years old, it's considered vintage and over 50 years old is considered antique.
My goal is to find more pieces from the 1930's and 40's...so my search continues.......
