Vintage Bling Giveaway!

I had such a great response from all of you during my Christmas Jewelry Giveaway that I decided with New Year's barreling down on us, it would be fun to give away a gorgeous set of 1950's vintage bling!

Anyone who loves glitter will just adore the sparkle created by the vintage pieces of the 1950's. These are so well made compared to the reproductions available today. Each and every sparkling clear crystal or rhinestone has been set in the shiny rhodium backing by hand. These are NOT the glued in stones you see today that fall out the minute you turn your back, these are claw set, ie, sturdy and durable and will last another 60 plus years if cared for properly.

As is usual in many an earring of this era, these sparkling beauties are screw backs so no matter what your lobe thickness, you can be sure to find the perfect comfortable fit. The tops of the earrings are approximately 1/2" x 3/4" in size.  The matching necklace is 13" in length with an additional 2 3/4" in extenders for a custom fit.

  4. This is gorgeous! I just love vintage stuff. They definitely don't make things like they used to. My wedding band was my grandmother's and it is just so simple and pretty. I love pieces with some history to them! It's fun to think about who wore it and the experiences they had, etc.

  25. i would love to win this glam giveaway. Screw back earrings are the only things I seem to be able to wear these days (plus it always feels so retro to just pull an earring off one's ear!)

  27. Now that is a beautiful necklace! Not something I would wear, but very pretty.

  28. I just read a novel set in the
    30's and screwback earrings are mentioned several times. That got me thinking about my aunt who always wore them and now here you are mentioning them. Funny how we hear something we haven't heard in a long time and then we hear references to it several more times right after.
