vintage costume jewellery

I just bought this item off of ebay (not sure if you can see but here’s a pic)
http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-KC-DESIGNS-amber-topaz-brass-angel-pin-brooch-/280529038903?pt=Vintage_Costume_Jewelry#ht_1603wt_704

any ideas?

This is a pin (brooch) already, so I’m guessing you that what you want to do is to turn that pin/brooch into a pendant to then hang from a necklace?

If so there are various ways to turn pins into pendants–from simple ways to a little more complicated, from purchased findings to do-it-yourself.
Check out some of the suggestions on this page at my site:
http://glassattic.com/polymer/pendants_cording.htm (click on the subcategory almost at bottom of list called *Pins Into Pendants*)

(The previous suggestion to thread a jump ring over the pin of the pinback, then to thread a necklace or cording of some kind through the jump ring will work, but the jump ring could slide from side to side on the pin if you don’t anchor it–perhaps with small beads on each side, or by gluing it in place, tec. And also, depending on how far down the pinback is, doing that might also make the top part of the pendant tip outward/forward a bit.)

Since there just happens to be a natural "loop" at the top part of this pendant, the easiest thing would probably be just to put a jump ring through that loop, then thread a chain or cording through the jump ring.

It is a size 7 ring with flowers and pearls. I’m sure it’s vintage and I got it from an antique fair. Here’s the link to a picture with it and more details: http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Signed-Avon-Silver-Tone-Faux-Gem-Ring-Size-7-/380089810684?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Vintage_Costume_Jewelry&hash=item587f1e3efc

I have some items i want to sell on Ebay, however with it being summer, less people will be on ebay searching for stuff, right?
So, i was thinking of waiting abit for the months to get cooler - autumn/winter time, then list the items. Most of the items i’ll be listing is vintage costume jewellery.

So do you think it matters what time of year you list things, = the more bids you’re likely to get?

Christmas is the biggest selling time of the year by far.

But you can sell items anytime.

Good luck.

My style is very vintage sort of Audrey Hepburnesque. I don’t even own a pair of pants and I like costume jewelry, tights and little vintage hats. What sort of shoes should I get that aren’t ugly athletic shoes? I mean, people walked a lot 60 years ago wearing rubber and leather shoes. I’ve been wearing 2 inch heeled Mary Janes and my knees are killing and my feet full of blisters!

sketchers do some pretty shoes which are made to be active in but still have pretty straps and designs. granny shoe shops will have comfy walking shoes or Doc Martens are legendary when it comes to comfy soles and funky designs

60 years ago people had a lot more injuries and didnt live as long from bad footwear probably. Lol.

I love the Romantic Style of interior decorating, but need to do most of my own projects. I have seen many beautiful picture frames, ranging in size from 2"X3" to 11"X14". They are usually gold-tone or silver-tone metal frames (simple to ornate) and have been embellished with beautiful jeweled objects d’art…some look like old costume jewelry which has been reworked…some look new but are of a vintage style. I have a tax identification number, as I make jewelry, but I don’t know where to find these. Can anyone help me, please? Thank you in advance……:D

Thrift stores are a good place to find more unique costume jewelry.

POSH SPICE! Little black dress

I would pick Posh Spice, but if you have to wear the shoes for awhile, it might be more comfortable to go with Bret Michaels. He’s a fun guy. If you have a friend to go with you, she could dress as the woman he picked (Jes) to be his soul mate on "Rock of Love"
