Second Market Shopping with Tinka and Boosha » Persephone’s Haven

Vintage Jewelry

Tinka: Another thing you can buy on the second market, which a lot of people don’t realize, is jewelry. You can buy some of the most fabulous costume jewelry you’ve ever seen! For $2.50, you can buy a very high quality vintage pin, and if you get a book* and really know your jewelry, you can find something that is a real treasure, like Sarah Coventry, which now has gone out of sight.

But you just have to go around — you know, once a week — if you are on your way home and you pass a thrift shop on the way home, and they’re still open, just drop by and walk around the store for ten, fifteen minutes and see what you can find. You are bound to find something you want to carry home, and you’re talking under two dollars. Where can you go find a treasure for two dollars? You can’t, not in this day and age!

If you like vintage jewelry, the second market is the market to find it. I have a gorgeous little humming bird with a movable wing. If you bought it in an antique store, you would pay $12 for it. I’ve got another one that’s a very pretty enameled fish. Another pin I have is from the 50’s. In a consignment shop or a re-sale boutique, you would pay $15 to $25 for this one pin! But if you’re willing to go around and look, you could buy that same pin for 50 cents, if it’s your taste.

*Note from Vivienne: I have added a new Vintage Jewelry category to the Second Market Shopping bookstore just for you: http://astore.amazon.com/persshave-20?_encoding=UTF8&node=63
