<p>[QUOTE="Michelle Collins, post: 603922, member: 10705"]That is what I told my mother in law. She had to clean out her closet (which is actually a room) and I helped her. We got to the back of the room and all of the jewelry boxes. She was like "I don't know if any of it is real?" She has always had big shopping addiction so I wasn't about to toss the boxes. Plus some of it was her mother's. </p><p><br /></p><p>I found several Sarah Coventry pieces and asked her about them, she said yea they lived in Newark were Sarah Coventry all started. </p><p><br /></p><p>So I found myself sifting and matching earrings and looking at stamps. I couldn't pull myself away. She was like "Are you sure you want to do this?" I told her: " I don't know why but I feel like I found a treasure and cant stop." </p><p><br /></p><p>So now I have an addiction, partly because of her addiction. LOL. I will admit it. My husband thinks I am nuts. I had all of this jewelry spread all over the dining room table, the bar. I should have taken pictures, now that I think about it. He said: "it looks like a bunch of junk to me." That did not go over well, it only made me more determined to prove it was not junk.</p><p><br /></p><p>So with all of the "junk" so far I have found 6 14k gold necklaces a 10k gold bracelet, a 10k pendant (not sure if the diamonds are real, but that is for another day) a silver shell cameo and 14k pair of shell cameo earrings, a bunch of silver and a lot of signed costume jewelry already mentioned Sarah Coventry, Coro, Weiss, Trifari, Monet, Vargas, Avon etc and some I am still researching. And my favorite is this brooch-pendant that drove me to this site to share it. It is really awesome looking and I wanted to know what it was. When and where it comes from, and here I am.</p><p><br /></p><p>In addition she had all of her old 80's earrings some still on the card. I still have pearls to go through.
