The Fascination with Collectible & Vintage Jewelry

Published on 20 August 2025 at 17:24

What is it about jewelry that fascinates me? I am not a big fashionista. I have had my ears re-pierced 3 times, trying to encourage myself to wear more earrings. However, it never works out, as I don't wear any jewelry regularly. As soon as we opened our Etsy store, I became fascinated with discovering collectible costume and vintage jewelry. Why? Is it the nostalgia and emotional state that it evokes, a certain aesthetic, being part of that culture of collecting, or maybe the history behind the jewelry? Some magical appeal draws me to jewelry. I may not wear it but I love the memories it evokes.
