Second-hand jewellery I don't have definitive plans for

Sometimes I buy second-hand items that I think are beautiful but that don't necessarily suit me or fit into my life in an overtly apparent way.

Like this brooch I bought from a lady who sells second-hand bling.

It was only $5 and it's a signed enamel piece, obviously handmade. So beautiful. I can maybe see it on a coat in the fall, but for now it's tucked away until the right moment - or the right person - calls for it.

Ditto for this belt buckle with tiger's eye balls embedded in it.

As with the brooch it was only about $5, so I picked it up.

I could turn it into a huge pendant, or string a pretty satin sash through it, as the lady who sold it to me suggested, and wear it with a pretty dress.

  1. The last piece has so many possibilities. Good luck in deciding which way you may go. Belt buckle looks good to me.

  2. I know, I think I can get really creative with it! Will keep you posted!
