Vintage Jewelry - Collections and Lots

I've recently purchased a very large estate collection of vintage and costume jewelry which is much more than I need for sales in my online locations. I've decided to break down part of the estate into smaller sized lots. If you don't like paying normal prices for individual items, this may be something you would be interested in.

I have listed several of these collections in my ebay store Carolina Collections Vintage Jewelry and will have many more that I'll be listing during the summer months.

I've grouped the items into different "types" of jewelry. Some are sorted by style of jewelry (Southwestern, copper, Thematic, etc) and some are sorted by price range (mainly costume, designer and rhinestone, high end, etc.)

Here are some that I listed last night, followed by a few overview photos. You can click the photos to go to the listing page. Many of these collections work out to $2-$4 for each piece of jewelry, and you can even make me an offer if one of the collections appeals to you but you would like to purchase it for a little less than I am asking. I'll consider reasonable offers on them.

• All New Rhinestone Jewelry (unsold dealer stock - never worn - shown in the picture above)
• All Flower Jewelry
• All Butterfly and Bug Jewelry
• All Copper Jewelry
• All Southwest Jewelry with some genuine turquoise
• All Christmas Jewelry (Think Christmas in July)
• All Thematic Brooches (three different collections)
• Plus several large collections of mixed vintage and costume jewelry in varying price ranges

Here is a peek at the collections. Photos show only a part of the collections and will take you to the listing page. Have fun shopping.

Bugs and Butterflies - Vintage Jewelry for Spring

Spring is here and it's time to spread some wings - those of the critter kind. With all the bulbs and seedlings starting to grow, now is the perfect time to wear those butterfly and bug jewelry pieces you have in your collection, or to find some new ones to add to it.

Wearing butterfly jewelry lightens the hearts of those that see you in it, and makes you feel special yourself. And since a butterfly symbolizes renewal, a piece of butterfly jewelry is the perfect anniversary gift!

Spring fashions are usually full of color and butterfly jewelry makes a wonderful accent. Although you can find some with subdued colors, most designers of butterfly jewelry take great delight in combining a myriad of stone colors together to make the wings sparkle and stand out. This lovely demi parure uses a combination of pink and purple - both great colors for spring, and it has both a brooch and a pair of matching earrings. It is really romantic and feminine.

This Joan Rivers lucite butterfly pin is a good example of a combination of colors that isn't too bright and would look stunning on either a white or black jacket lapel. I love the layered look of the wings and the clear diamante rhinestones add just enough bling to make it sparkle and shine.

And for those of you who like a bit more of the creepy crawly jewelry - look at these unique bug pins. They should appeal to the budding entomologist in you. Just enough of a crawly look but not creepy enough to make those who see it run away.

Be sure to visit the Butterfly and Bug jewelry page on Vintage Jewelry Lane which has an insect jewelry piece which will appeal to all tastes and budgets. All of the jewelry pieces featured here are available as well as many more. Spread those wings and fly!!
