Did you know that a single new 1/3-oz, 18K gold ring creates about 20 tons of mine waste? Think two big garbage trucks. For one ring. It shocked me to learn that. Check out Ideal Bite for more tidbits of information like that.
I LOVE vintage jewelry. I love looking at it, handling it, hunting for and discovering new pieces and most of all, I love finding new homes for these orphans that might have been on their way to a landfill. Perish the thought!
One of the things I love about the vintage jewelry business is that I get to help the environment in one more small way, by encouraging re-use of unique and vanishing jewelry. So next time you are looking to make an addition to your jewelry box, or buying a gift for graduation, Mother's Day, that special someone's birthday, or hey, your WEDDING (bridesmaid's gifts?), think outside the box. Go Vintage!
Check out my website for truly affordable gems from the past that will add a unique touch to your style. True, some of our items are higher end estate pieces, but we make every effort to provide a wide selection in every price range. There's something for everyone at PastGems.com.
Keep coming back to check our blog. We have plans to share with you our resources and information regarding cleaning and caring for your vintage jools (I love that word), history of some of the well-known (and maybe some lesser known) designers and whatever else we think might be important enough to pass on. Or maybe sometimes just some ramblings.
Anyway, thanks for stopping by and taking time from your busy schedule to read this. Remember, Think Green and Buy Vintage! Have fun out there!
