After seeing that Earthly Adornments added a new line of vintage jewelry to their inventory, I realized, duh!, I should have a category for that here. Funny how I can write about jewelry year after year and never get it completely covered.

So, onto their news though....They are announcing this new addition of vintage jewelry, originally acquired from a large estate jewelry collector:

Webstore owner, Caryn Naiditch, recently traveled to the east coast from the Sebastopol, California based Earthly Adornments to acquire the jewelry collection from the estate of lifetime collector and world traveler. This unique collection of high quality vintage jewelry will delight customers.

"Finding a collection of this caliber is always exciting. One of the most fascinating pieces in this new Collection is an Egyptian revival jeweled collar that Katherine Hepburn reportedly wore in a theatrical production of Cleopatra in Connecticut. Imagine wearing a piece that was worn by a screen legend. The history of these pieces is part of the fun in owning them," said Naiditch. "My mother and sister were avid jewelry collectors and this woman's collection rivaled theirs in the uniqueness and variety if not the sheer volume. I work hard to find the most wonderful and distinctive pieces to offer at EarthlyAdornments.com. This amazing vintage jewelry collection certainly fits the bill."

The bracelet pictured above is art deco constructed with filigree brass with a Czechoslovakian glass cabochon in the center. Here are some more items from the collection, but to see it all head to the site. There's a lot there!


Carved from a solid block of midnight-black onyx, the body of the locket holds a recessed compartment hidden in the back that can hold a memento, photo or painting.
