People ask me all the time how I find such great stuff. There's really no hidden tricks or method...I just know what to search for, I don't mind searching through endless lists of items, and I also save sellers that I know offer things I like and I check their stores on a constant basis. It's like any great hunt...you have to put the time and effort into it! :)
The following are a few photos of my favorite vintage/antique jewelry finds on eBay to date.
This was the one that really started it all...a black vintage locket I scored on eBay for $5 a few years ago. It's my favorite piece and I wear it tons!
This was a major score on eBay...this photo really does not do this watch necklace justice. It's in absolutely superb condition, works, and was like $12.
I feel in love with this bracelet the first time I saw it and knew it was to be mine. I love that it's a double-bracelet, so you get this awesome effect, but they're one piece!
This silver bracelet I really wasn't sure about when I bought it off eBay, but for $5 I took a chance. For some reason, I get more compliments on this bracelet than any other jewelry I own!
And lastly are screw-back and clip-on earrings. I had to let my pierced ears close up when I was in college due to infections and such. And let's face it -- clip-on earrings in places like Claire's and such suck! LOL But that all changed when I started looking into vintage screw-back and clip-ons and my collection grew quite a bit! Below is my current collection...one board has gold-tone and the other are silver-tone. The majority of my earrings were purchased off eBay, with others from local antique shows and stores.
