Jewelry Collection Story - @vintagegems_nh ๐๐ผ
โHow long have you been collecting?
๐บ Iโve only been seriously collecting fine jewelry for the past decade or so, but my passion for treasures and trinkets started early on. I remember being four or five, losing time in a costume box my grandmother put together for us kids. It was filled with accessories sheโd collected over the yearsโbeaded purses, silk scarves, and costume jewelry from the 1920s to โ40s, mostly all Art Deco style. Deco jewelry has become one of my favorite eras to collect, and I believe this magical childhood memory was the spark that ignited my passion.
My โunseriousโ collecting started as a preteen. If I had money I was spending it at the โ10 for 5โ clearance section at Claireโs in the mall. Y2K Claireโs was an experienceโI could dig through those racks of cheap jewelry for hours. It wasnโt about value (or the fact that every pair of earrings turned my ears green)โit was about the thrill of the hunt and finding pieces that felt like โme.โ
