Time Traveling with Jewelry When I think back on the different eras of jewelry, I remember in the 1950's playing with my Mom's jewelry, walking around with strands of beaded necklaces. Then when I became a teenager, taking the brave step of piercing my ears. Most of the jewelry I remember from that time were studs, simple and sweet. Then in the 1960's, I had lots of plastic earrings, dangles with flower power. In the 1970's, I fell in love with the 1928 Jewelry Co. brand and had loads of the delicate Victorian style collar pins, earrings and choker necklaces. In the 1980's I remember the shows "Dallas" and "Dynasty". The women on those shows wore the big bold chunky earrings that were such power statements. I was never that crazy about the big hoops or chandelier style earrings - I was always afraid I would catch them on something and tear my earlobe off. Ouch! From the 1990's on, I've been drawn to earrings that bring...

Sorting & Selling Jewelry on eBay During the Covid Years

One good thing about the COVID pandemic years - I finally had time to start going through the boxes and boxes of stuff in my basement. There were no more excuses for me to delay. I had accumulated loads of items over the last 25 years from estate sales, moving sales, garage sales, antique and consignment shops. My Mom was a collector of vintage jewelry and we used to have so much fun looking for it. She encouraged me to start selling on eBay so I started selling some of her jewelry and I got hooked. This was my method for sorting thru the jewelry items. I would take a box of jewelry and empty it out on the table on a piece of foamboard so I could easily move items around. Then I'd sort by type - necklaces,earrings, rings, brooches, bracelets, etc. Next step - start looking for signed pieces and group them together. Signed pieces sell the quickest for me on Ebay but unsigned beauties will also sell. Oftentimes at an estate sale, you have to act quickly. Occasionally I w...
