Well, I'm back after an extended illness. Kind of back. Still sick.

But on with life!

Here's why I like vintage jewelry: it feels good, and looks good.

I'm to the point now in my vintage jewelry collecting that I can almost always tell by the way a piece feels if it is vintage or not. Vintage pieces feel heavier, and feel better made.

The styles are very classic as well. Although there were definate trends - art deco is decidedly different than retro - there is still a classic look to jewelry made before the 1980's.

Just a couple of reasons why I like collecting vintge jewelry.

This next week, I will be getting my jewelry back online - so be sure and visit my ebay store: http://start-your-biz.com/r/ebay_store.htm

I include a gift box with every piece, and you can get 1-3 auctions shipped for the same price. That is a better deal than any I've seen on ebay before.

That's all for now - watch for a new article this weekend.
