Vintage Jewelry

I had some time to go through my grandmother's pieces. We do have different tastes so there are only 3 pieces I will keep as is to wear, enjoy and stay in the family.

The flower screwbacks are sterling silver with an amazing patina! While I'm not used to wearing earrings for non-pierced earrings, but I think I can handle wearing these.

Pearls are always up my alley! This long costume strand of pearls will get plenty of wear.

This bracelet looks beautiful on! It is probably not that old. 

When I Googled paz jewelry I couldn't find anything out about this. There is an Israeli designer but it appears he only works in sterling silver. The rest of the Googling brought up Pez candy! If you are familiar with this, please share. 

With some of the brooches, I'm thinking of working them into necklaces!

With clip on earrings, I'm thinking cocktail rings!

There was also a costume scarab bracelet with 2 of each stone so these may be really sweet as earrings.

I love old white plastic beads. There were 2 strand I have undone. The beads need to be cleaned and then they will work great into summery pieces.

It is time to say Happy New Year already! I wish you all a happy and successful 2015. 

2014 was a crazy year for me quitting my full time job to go self employed, selling my house and moving in with Jim. All those transitions went incredibly smooth ensuring me that the decisions were all good ones. It will be my first full year being self employed. Yay! 

Thank you for stopping by! Enjoy moving into the new year. ~Val
