One of my passions is buying and selling old treasures. I also sell handcrafted jewelry from other artist and thought I can make my own jewelry just as easy, so I did, using some of my old treasures that I find when I'm out treasure hunting. You can purchase my jewelry at http://www.pangaeaoutpost.com/
I ran across this vintage white flower choker and just had to get it. It is a wonderful piece for spring/summer.
This is sort of a funky piece that I made and by the way looks great on. I used an old clock piece and a vintage chandelier crystal. Most of the jewelry findings I use are by Vintaj which I sell at http://www.everafterscrapbooks.com/
I always pick up old keys when I'm out. They always come in handy for some art project. I had a bunch of glass beads laying around that I bought off my friend who designs jewelry http://shoplilygirl.com/ I didn't know what I was going to do with all the beads and have been holding on to them for years. Well while creating my jewelry I thought how perfect. Old door hardware make perfect pieces to embellish the necklace as well as old jewels.
A little bit of this and that and look what you get.
There is a gal that sells at the Urban Barn flea market. http://urbanbarn155.blogspot.com/ She always has tons of metal shapes. I bought a bunch one time, not knowing what I was going to do with them, but they sure came in handy.
Never pass up broken pieces of jewelry. Sometimes you have to think outside the box and just visualize. Keys, keys keys....great finds.
Another great find is this vintage gold choker with the ball. Looks great and very interesting.
One thing I love is vintage buttons. I have a ton of them and use them for all sorts of projects. This vintage button I turned into a ring. It is big and fun.
Another vintage jewelry find. This piece is super long so you can layer it up or just wear it long with a bunch of other pieces. Great color for spring/summer.
