Message:: [QUOTE="Raccoon1977, post: 3679041, member: 17253"]So just to start a discussion, I have found a caveat for me and was wondering if others felt the same way. I’ve been selling vintage jewelry for about five years now, been in jewelry  business in some way since I was 16 (so about 28 years). I used to find so much more jewelry that was exotic and unusual than I do now. Take Damascene for instance, I used to love it and now it’s just something to sell. I still think it’s pretty but it’s not unusual anymore. My mom will ask me about an item that I have on eBay up for auction, and I reply to her that “it’s OK“. She says “is it not pretty?” And I tell her that no - it is but I’ve seen so much of it, it’s just, “common” (said in an uppity British accent - cause redneck just doesn’t have the same effect). Has anybody else experienced this? I look for what sells but there’s not much that I want to keep anymore (well that I can afford at least). I’m trying hard not to be a jewelry snob, I know there is something for every taste. Mine is just stuff that isn’t mass produced.[/QUOTE]
