Holiday Jewelry Pick 9/30

Well, I should have known I'd never be able to keep up with a pick a day. But at least I was ablw to get back to it before the week was out.
And, now that Sept is just about officially over, we start holiday shopping season in earnest. At least online we do.
Here's todays pick, I love the colors, perfect for most of my wardrobe:

Found at Jennifer Lynn's Timeless Jewelry

Today's Vintage Jewelry Pick

Some of you may know I collect vintage bowling theme jewelry, I have a pretty extensive collection. One genre missing are bakelite bowling pieces, they are usally out of my reach. But, since hubby's going to buy (we hope) I've found this brooch:

Found at Time Dances By

For other fun themes, see the figurals page in my store.
What do you collect that's really unusual? What jewelry collection can you begin this holiday season, something that speaks to your individuality? Like mine.....guess what? I'm an avid bowler! Did you guess? :-)

Vintage Jewelry for the Holidays

Continuing my search for vintage jewelry to put on my holiday wish list.
I found this Art Deco black bakelite and clear rhinestone bangle:

Found at Roslyn's 24 Hour Vintage Cafe
I love Deco, you all know it's my personal favorite by now. And though I'm usually not to much into bakelite, I think this one is quite striking with the clear rhinestones.
More bakelite from my own store is here.

What vintage jewelry do you want for the Holidays?

I'm starting a new feature and plan to run it through Christmas, maybe longer. It's called, simply enough "What do you want for the Holidays?" or "If Santa-hubby-partner (or whoever brings you gifts) could bring you any vintage jewel, what would it be?"
I'm going to scout the vintage jewelry world online and every day (I hope) find some piece of jewelry that I have to have. My husband will have access to this blog, in fact, he'll be sent a copy to his work email every day. :-)
I will post my find every day, with the picture and which site I found it on.
I invite you to join in. If you find a jewel you want, post it here, whether on my site or elsewehere, just be sure to mention and link back to the site where you found it. Feel free to send this blog to your gift givers as well.
I love pink and I LOVE Schiaparelli, so the first piece on my list is this pink glass Schiaparelli bracelet:

Found at Morning Glory Antiques & Jewelry.
More Schiaparelli is available in my store here.
