Something Blue

I fell in love the first time I saw this vintage 1950s necklace on Etsy: sparkling rhinestones in a favourite shade of periwinkle blue, and a darling bow tie with dangles. But priced at around $75 – far too high for something only 60-odd years old I thought – I regretfully had to pass it by.

One day, after finding another much sought-after item at The Cat Eyes Vintage (a red beaded shell top), and looking through the seller’s other items, I saw another necklace exactly the same for only $16! And it had a matching pair of earrings too. It was really meant to be.
