Here are some vintage inspired two sided pin-keeps that I just made. I really like how they turned out. When I had completed one I thought to myself, "These would be great at showcasing an old piece of jewelry".....jpg)
Soooooooo taaaaaaaaaaa daaaaaaaaaaa now I've got some vintage inspired jewelry holders! The jewelry piece in the center of this one pictured below is a pin-backed piece that is indeed old... I found it in amongst some buttons in a tin that I picked up for $2~.jpg)

That is a pretty collection of cameos. I have some I bought to repurpose in jewelry, but have not done anything with them yet. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDelete$10.00 is not enough for that lovely hand work and amount of time, plus materials. Would you consider making $2.00 an hour out in the real world? You should at the least charge $15.00. They are beautiful and I hope you do well with them. The possibilities are endless when it comes to specific kinds of jewelry holders you could make. Good Luck. Jackie
ReplyDeleteCheryl thank you for showing your cameo collection.. It just reminds me so much of my mommy, she passes away in 2005. She had many cameos. My sister got her cameos,that is what she chose. They were beautiful.. I think your pin keeps are adorable and you should mark them higher at first and then if they don't sell and you want to take less, that would be the way to go..
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cameos....I LOVE cameos and they don't need to be expensive!
ReplyDeletewow those cameos are so elegant and pretty... yesterday I was at a craft store for the first time... and they have some and I bought about 5... thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteI think you could get $10 for those -- very cute! I had a lovely cameo that I splurged on in an antique store in Maine, but sold it because I never wore it. Maybe someday I'll replace it with one I think I'll wear...yours look like fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous collection!
ReplyDeletem ^..^
I think $10 will generate interest. There's always shipping and people are hesitant to spend on extras right now.
ReplyDeleteI love what you did! I love cameos too. My husband is a jeweler and do you know for YEARS I have been begging him for a cameo, it's been 14 yrs later and I still don't have one. I might jut have to get one for myself! And $10 sounds like a great price. I would certainly purchase those for my coworkers b-days and for my mother and sisters! Thank you so much for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteI love your cameo collection!
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to tell what to charge for things, isn't it! I struggle with that all the time!
