He said he'd come into about a million pounds of costume jewelry, and that it was all mine, if I wanted it.
So here is the Cavernous Box, mirrored and filled to the brim.
Chloe is interested...
There are at least a dozen huge cocktail rings:
Huge broaches:
Statement necklaces like nothing I've ever seen:
About 20 pounds of clip on earrings:
(I have no idea what I'm going to do with all of these, I'm sure there is some crafty application, but there are just so many!!)
Here are some of the quirkyest:
And some of it is understated and elegant:
Really old, really real gold bangles:
The first thing that jumped out at me was this bracelet, and since it went with my outfit, I put it on right away!
