I am a jewelry junkie! Not the fine jewelry kind, honestly, I would rather buy a piece of furniture than a diamond, but it's the costume and vintage beauties that call my name- LOUDLY! Accessories are the easiest, and can be the least expensive way of expressing your personality daily. I need a little glamour everyday and think a gorgeous old rhinestone bracelet can take your ordinary jeans and white shirt from boring to glamorous in a heartbeat! The prices are good and the quality is amazing, as the stones are usually glass and the settings metal. For a few dollars, you can find stunning and unique pieces on the internet, at estate sales, on Etsy and even Goodwill. And as it's highly unlikely that your best friend will have the same piece, vintage jewelry makes a fantastic gift! So every Tuesday, for the eight weeks we have left before Christmas (Yikes!), I will find four beautiful baubles we could give as gifts, or keep for our very glamorous selves, for under $100! Let's start shopping!
How perfect is that first bracelet for your best friend? I know my mom would love the Wedgwood ring! And well, green is my favorite color! Would any of these work for you or your friends?

I'm loving the green drops. The Etsy site says they're art deco inspired. No wonder I like it. Unfortunately, it's sold out.
Oh, I love the ring, and the fact that it has a little black in it, makes me like it even more. Great picks. Looking forward to seeing your additional picks for this series.

Good job! I really like your style and design!
Good luck!
This is such a great series idea and especially considering the holidays, as you say. I'm totally with you, too... costume jewelry is the best!! It is always the first thing that catches my eye when I am antique or thrift shopping.
Looking forward to future posts in this set!
And by the way, I'm seriously thinking about #2... it is so gorgeous and totally my style!
