About Linda's Jewelry and Collectibles

                                        "Did You Wear Jewelry Today?

                                                 Was It Beautiful?

                                              It Could Have Been!"

I am a person who loves to Buy and Sell Vintage and/or New Costume, Gold and Sterling Silver Jewelry.  I also Repair and Customize Gold and Sterling Silver Jewelry, and Repair Costume as well. 

My specialty lies with Diamonds, Gold, and Silver, but I am also turning the leaf into Costume Jewelry, which I am constantly learning more about every single day!

With the desire to learn as much as possible about Costume Jewelry, I became a Registered Member of the organization called Jewelcollect. This group consists of a large and wonderful membership of elite Collectors and Book Authors who are willing to share their expertise in all areas of Costume Jewelry with me!

I also have a vast interest in Genuine Indian Jewelry.  I learned alot from an acquaintance that lived temporarily on Indian Reservations to learn their trade and trade with them, then he would return to my area and I would buy from him.  I also attend Pow Wows and purchase hand made quality items from the Indians themselves.  I do not buy from Indian assembly line factories.

With everything I dabble in, I do not know it all and am constantly researching in all types of sources available.  I have a large reference book library, belong to the local library, and of course, find quite a bit of information online, not to mention the club I belong to.  Then there are the times that people visiting my site are generous with their own personal knowledge and point me in directions that I may not have known about, for when I have a piece I don't know much about, I post in the description of the piece that any information would be appreciated.
