My Vintage Love

M For the past year everyone I know has been talking about blogs, and the truth is I didn't really understand them until I saw the movie Julie and Julia. Cheezy as it may sound, that movie has opened my eyes up to the world of blogging. I actually had a really hard time getting to this point because I rarely email, or text, and I don't have a Facebook page.
I make vintage jewelry out of vintage jewelry. All of my materials come from antique stores around San Diego and L.A. I love old jewelry because I feel like it has a story to tell when you wear it. Kind of like if you were wearing these earrings, and someone came up to you and said, "I LOVE your cameo earrings!" You would reply, "Thank you, these beads came from an old 1950's bracelet."
I have taken crystals from chandeliers, purses, and even lampshades. So, I decided to post these earrings, along with my first blog- dedicated to the telling of these stories! They are sterling silver with white beads from the 1950's and the shell cameos are set in 14k white gold. They are one of a kind, and sell for $135.
