Vintage Rosary, Prayer Card and Rhinestone Jewelry

Lots of new pretties have made their way to the website this week!

I just adore the vintage patina and sparkle on old rhinestone pieces. I am a purist with my jewelry finds as I prefer to leave them in their “as found” state. I do clean them and very lightly polish them to bring out a touch more sparkle and remove the gunk that has accumulated over the years. I also try to purchase only pieces with all their original rhinestones attached and I avoid the pieces with missing, yellow or blackened stones. Sometimes those pieces can work, but for the most part, I prefer pieces that you can tell were taken very good care of. They cost me more, but their more pristine state is appealing to me. I also prefer not to age the metals with chemicals or acids. Me + toxic chemicals = trouble!

I also finished a new batch of my popular Vintage Prayer Card and Rosary Necklaces. Each one I make is different and no two are alike. They are beautiful dressed up or dressed down and I always receive compliments whenever I wear these pieces. They go fast, so click HERE if you wish to grab one before your favorites are gone.

My plan is to pretty much list one to several new pieces each and every day from now through the holidays. My calendar is filling up with short buying trips and also visits to top antique jewelry and gems shows looking for new treasures to turn into sparkling vintage and antique revamped jewelry. Please stay tuned to the blog and visit the website often so you can be among the first to catch the new items. Merci ~ xoxo ~ Joy
