Was digging through some old auction boxes where I wanted one thing out of the box and the rest goes into the shed. Found this small tin with some costume jewelry wrapped in cotton in one of those boxes. Couple stones missing in bracelet and shoe clip broke, necklaces seem ok. Looked on eBay but they have no real following or bids on this type of jewelry, might be looking in the wrong place, not sure what they call them other then rhinestone jewelry? Are these worth repairing or even collectable? Find cool stuff and then look on eBay and find 399,236,000 active listings for .99 cents?
Thank you valentino97, one says icing but looks to be the cheepest quality and newest of the bunch. I will put them in my maybe fix later list. Thanks for the information.
Thanks for mentioning rubylane, never been on that web site. Much easier to see what you have then all the repros on eBay. Would take months going through all the stuff listed as vintage antique that were made last week. Much better avenue on vintage costume jewelry values. Not worth a whole lot of money but not giving the stuff away at .99 cents.
Yes, hate giving stuff away too, unless it's to the battered womens shelter. Send boxes of stuff through the YWCA to their shelter because the location is a secret. They even take fridges and washers and dryers, whole bedroom suites. Go to alot of estate auctions where no one is bidding on bigger items. To much like work I guess? Drops low enough I will haul it to the Y.
Have a police scanner and understand that many women and children have to run away with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Was my police scanner and a couple officers conversation that keyed my interest in donating to the shelters through the YWCA.
