Here's an urban-esque shot of me wearing my latest vintage costume jewelery acquisition, picked up at the 7th annual estate sale of Toronto vintage shops Gadabout and Eclectisaurus.
I bought this 1960s-70s? necklace from dealer Angela McCool.
It isn't signed but I just love it; it's a real statement piece necklace and it has purple glass beads and faceted pieces.

There are also tiny purple faceted pieces at the end of the gold fringe on the bottom.
The trick with a statement piece necklace is you don't want it to compete with other elements of your outfit.
The scarf may have been pushing it, but I only wore it outside as it was cool-ish the other day.

Just remember that a piece doesn't have to be 'valuable' per se for it to have value for you.
I found a couple more vintage costume jewellery pieces yesterday during a Value Village dig on my way home, and I will share them this week along with my reason for buying them - I also almost picked up something marked 'Sherman' but decided it was a fake.
Remember: vintage bling sale in Toronto this Saturday, April 24 at Leaside Memorial Gardens.
