Filed in archive Costume and Fashion Jewelry , Jewelry Designers by tammy on April 29, 2006

To some, it's just junk jewelry, something you'd toss in a Goodwill box or give to your children to play dress-up with. For those with some knowledge about costume jewelry, antiques links

, and an eye for design, people like Tamara Schafhauser, junk jewelry can be turned into treasured mementos.

Here's her story according to her website:

Since childhood, Tamara has always enjoyed the "hunt" for treasures. From scouring flea markets to digging through New York basement bead houses, the thrill of the "find" is her passion.

She learned a lot about "living a simple life" from watching her father-in-law William. He was a master plumber by trade and loved creating things with his hands. Together with her husband, many of William's treasures left behind were carefully sorted and selected to be included in this collection.

Each piece is crafted by Tamara using aged hardware in combination with semi precious stones and jewels. The look is fresh, unique, and all about dressed junk.

Add your response to Junk Jewelry: Response from: tdrghtdf (09/17/09 12:04pm) Allen Iverson broke out his newest signature shoe, the Reebok Answer XII, during the first game between the Buy Reebok Answer XII Invictus Shoes in November 2008. The Reebok Answer XII Invictus On Sale basketball shoe features a leather upper with internal mock bootie construction that provides maximum comfort. The Nike zoom BB IIreceived its design cues from Japanese-born Reebok designer Nike Zoom BB II Basketball Shoes, who also designed the Answer X. Both Winfield and Kanata have been trading off between the past three Buy Cheap Nike Zoom BB II Men's Basketball shoes to allow for a longer design window and more attention to the development process. It could be argued that Iverson�s series lost its gusto during the VI to IX era. Luckily, for Iverson and his fans, the line has been in good hands the past three years. The mid panel is also generously perforated for greater breathability and the Nike Shox Vc IV Men's Basketball Shoe Black suede toe sets off a nice balance to the simple yet sharp overall look.? The outsole features a sticky rubber wavy herringbone traction pattern and cushioning comes via DMX Ride. Response from: Char (09/26/09 3:53pm) Beautiful stuff! I love the use of things that would normally be thrown away. ~Char http://www.junkyardjewelry.biz
