Housing Works Fall Event Jewelry Preview

So, I work part-time at Housing Works thrift shop. I have been working for the company for about 5 years now, and I am the jewelry specialist of the Chelsea store. Now, this coming Wednesday, September 8th, we will have our Fall Preview, where people line up and pay (donate) 10 dollars to get the first crack at really rad fall merchandise. I have been saving jewelry for about 5 months for this, and its really great. I have curated some AMAZING pieces, and want to give you all a little teaser as to what we're gonna have! We will be open in the evening only on Wednesday, but resume normal hours as of Thursday!!!!

Big, beautiful ethnic silver collar, possibly Middle-Eastern.

Another ethnic silver piece, this one looks Tibetian, or Nepalese or something....

BAKELITE!!!!

Cloisonné bangles

This is a gorgeous vintage piece, possibly re-worked a bit...

I did a little repair work on this guy....

These bracelets have amazing detail. Two of them have really cool enamel work, and another has awesome filigree....
