[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 1344793, member: 85"][USER=13177]@mekanah18[/USER] Before you spend any more money, I would like to suggest that you go to the library and check out some books on antique jewelry. Familiarize yourself with the different styles, materials and stones used during different time periods. Also visit your local mall with large stores and some of the discount stores, look at the costume jewelry. Look at the construction of better costume jewelry as opposed to cheap costume jewelry. Also check out the fine jewelry departments. Then start looking in the antique stores. Hopefully you will be better able to see the differences in the older and newer pieces. Bottom line, you buy what you like at a price you are willing to pay. It doesn't all have to be old. I wear combinations of old and new all the time. I base what I'm wearing on color more than style.[/QUOTE]
