As a result of my roamings in my new town, I recently found an auction house that features an indoor market where sellers rent out cases showcasing vintage and antique bling, paintings, pottery and other goodies. I've been sans hubby this week and was feeling sorry for myself, so I popped in and found this amazing bracelet ... for a pound ninety-nine!
I'm not sure how to begin dating it but it's tiny, which could be an indication of its era as people were much smaller in, say, Victorian times. It has a slight ethnic look to it too - very pretty boho, in my opin.
Not sure if you can see but it's quite rough-hewn, so maybe it was handmade. Any ideas out there as to its provenance?
It reminds me a wee bit of the vintage bracelet I picked up in TO (for $35) at a vintage shop, though this one looks more new and is obviously more blingy. I don't often wear bracelets so it takes something special to stop me in my tracks.
Needless to say, since the prices for bling there are so fantastically good, I'll be visiting that auction house again. There are also auctions every three weeks and I plan to drag the hubby to the next one to see what's on the block!
Ooh I love it! It's gorgeous and what a fab bargain price too. Sarah xxx

Thanks Liz, I thought it was different too although I still can't place the era.
DeleteWow...i love your two pounds find...it looks very charming and eclectic. Isn't thrting exciting....you never know what you are going to find. I get really hyper when i step into a thrit store. Very much like a vulture seeing a piece of meat...sounds gross out but it is really so graphic...haha

Mongs, that's too funny, it literally is like the thrill of the hunt (I feel like an eagle with an eagle's eye!)!
DeleteP.S. Thought of you today as I went into a charity shop with NO fitting rooms - bought two pair skinny jeans for 2 pound each ... and they fit perfectly!
That is a vry pretty bracelet! I would definitely be going back. x
ReplyDeleteThanks, they'll be getting to know me better there, that's for sure!
