all that glitters...

Today I found a wonderful gentleman selling beautiful jewelry.  
Off to the side he had a pile of "junk" jewelry.....to me the very best kind!
Jewelry that is broken, missing parts and pieces, the lone earring missing its partner...the necklace that is missing some stones or clasp....
I love this stuff!  I break the backs off the earrings or cut the necklaces up into parts.

They make wonderful rings, magnets or additions to other jewelry.
Here are some shots of my beautiful "junk jewels"!

    What a find!! At one of my favorite shops they have Christmas "trees" made out of cones covered in costume jewelry, and they sell for hundreds of dollars. Just think of the pretty one you can make for yourself!
