Just a quick post to let you know... we have moved to our new home on the internet here
In the last couple of months I have been fascinated by charms and charms bracelets- both new and old. Here's a lovely charm I recently acquired. It's a ballerina- but not just any ballerina... doesn't she look remarkably similar to Edgar Degas' "Little Dancer of Fourteen?"
Before the economy went belly up- I sold just about any kind of jewelry on eBay. Since things aren't selling I have narrowed my focus down to jewelry I really like and that sells. Lately I have been selling a lot of Victorian jewelry, vintage lockets, cameos (real and faux or resin), costume and sterling rings, vintage sterling charms and bracelets, and sterling. It seems like at least for me- the market has really tapered off for rhinestone jewelry and signed costume pieces.
Here's a recent piece I sold. I love the shape of this old locket and the coastal scene is just beautiful.
I am still here- really...
The reason I have not posted any new pictures is because I was working on a new website for Vintage Jewelry Pictures off of blogger (blogspot). Actually my husband is working on it and I did not want to have to transfer any more posts then necessary. I thought I would have the new site up by now- but after the holidays things just got so crazy.
First my husband thought he would make me a fancy Drupal website- but after about two weeks of development he realized he was making it more complex then need be. Just last week he agreed that what would be best would be a blog on Wordpress. He started work on making the template more to my liking- only to get the flu this weekend. So instead of being up and running- here I am still posting on this old blog on blogspot.
Not that I don't appreciate Google blogger- I do. It's simple to use and free- it's just that the comments on here drive me batty and I want a little more flexibility.
If I knew it would take over a month for my new site to be ready I would have kept posting- because oh the pretty jewelry we could have looked at together. Hopefully- I'll be up on my new site soon- it'll still have the same web address so it will be easy to find.
I missed you all & posting the jewelry pictures.
Happy New Year

PS the beautiful brooch at top is a signed Weiss rhinestone brooch. Yummy - I love green!
New to my store this week is this old sterling locket. I love lockets- you can never have too many.
I photographed these beautiful signed Garner clip on earrings today. This is what they look like in natural light. Garne is considered rare vintage jewelry and from what is know about the company they were in business for a brief period in the mid forties to possibly the mid 1950's.
