I have a lot of vintage things. The first two pieces are from my grandmother. The pin is 18K and quite large, 2 1/2" long, so I don't wear it, but it's fun to look at.

I don't wear these pearls either, as they're too formal for my taste, but again, I like looking at them.

This is my favorite, a jewelled Victorian-era watch. The watch is under the blue stone.

Pinstripes--your antique slide bracelet with watch is great. I have an Art Nouveau gold slide bracelet, and a Victorian slide bracelet I made for my daughter. No pictures yet.

Gorgeous photos all!

I'd really love to get myself a vintage piece. I found an 1860's peridot ring at a local antique store, but it was very pricey and I'm not able to buy it just yet.

I love vintage jewellery, especially rings. I've just inherited a 22ct gold wedding ring which was my great great grandmother's. It dates to 1852. I love the fact that her name was the same as mine - it's like wearing a little piece of history.

Love vintage jewellery! All of you gal's pieces are fab. I've been trying to talk grandma into letting me have this beautiful coral/gold necklace she NEVER wears... but she refuses. I'll try and sneak a pic in here!

Hobe and Haskell, oh my!

I love vintage jewelry, especially 50's. Now that I have unearthed my digicam I'll have to take some pics!

Rondafaye - your art deco wristwatches are stunning and so unusual! I've never seen anything like it.

I love antique jewellery - there is something so special knowing that they have such history behind them. Unfortunately my collection is not so big!

This is an antique Asprey brooch that my husband bought for my 30th birthday - its dated from 1800-1820 with rosecut diamonds. (I've also posted this in the reference thread):

Now I'm getting the urge to add to my collection.

WOW everyone has such beautiful jewelry! I don't know if mine is antique or vintage enough. I inherited the pearl pin & the jade set, I was told they are from the 70's. I'm not sure about the last piece, it's costume but totally fell in love with it. I got it from an antique store in Hawaii.

Those are gorgeous pieces twigski.
