Let’s look at some jewelry today. Here’s a statement necklace that used to be a brooch. It hangs on a silver-plated chain that measures 18 inches. The neutral sandy tones make this a great choice for accenting Fall wardrobe colors.

Recycled Brooch Spiral Necklace
$14

Another statement piece, this time let your fingers do the talking. Vintage earring mounted on an adjustable ring base. This is the sort of ring my daughter loves.

Filigree Cup Ring
$12

I love this vintage cuff bracelet. It’s 2 inches wide and 7 inches around. The seller is not positive what metal it’s made of, but it’s a lovely piece. Bold, shiny, with a bohemian flare.

Cuff  Bracelet
$10

Take a look at this… a set of 5 vintage brooches featuring gold and silver-toned leaves and swirls. One reminds me a sea anemone. These would look cute on a lapel, scarf, or pinned to a plain clutch bag. It doesn’t say what size they are, but as with any Etsy purchase, you can contact the seller with questions.

Five Brooches
$8

It’s made from recycled comics that are glued to the back of a glass tile , and then sealed with Diamond Glaze.

 The glaze makes the pendant glossy, but not waterproof. It’s hung on an 18 inch green ball chain. 

I’m featuring Buffy, because she’s my girl, but Lucie39 carries other comic and superhero stars, as well. These include Dawn, Vampirella, Madman, Supergirl, and Death.  You can find them here and they range in price from $10-$13.

Woodland Lovers – Pendant
These earrings remind me of fossilized ferns – exquisite greenery captured for all eternity in stone. Well, these ferned earrings are not quite that old, but they are made from vintage brass. They are strung on gold-filled wire and topped off with a copper love knot. Pretty. The Ferns Unroll Their Woolly coils earrings are 3.5 inches long, they are item #e24, and they retail for $55 at the Anna Vintage Jewelry shop.
