I thought it might be fun to share some of the vintage jewelry that we wear this time of year. Here are a few pieces I enjoy wearing over the holidays:

Lovely! Is the Schreiner brooch as big as it looks to be?

The poinsettia pin is my fave, I think--I love jewelry that incorporates plastic...

Bet you'll have fun choosing your jewels on Wednesday!

That plastic poinsettia is my favorite too, it's really a delightful piece!

I love that fabulous poinsettia brooch too!

My sister took this picture for me last year, of an amazing selection of vintage Christmas tree brooches in a London shop window (sorry, she didn't note which one it was!):

Sorry for the link, I don't know how to post flickr photos here.

This is my favorite brooch for the holidays, its marked "Eisenberg Original." Someone added the long dangly earrings to it.

Linn, you have the coolest vintage jewelry! Thanks for sharing your holiday jewels with us.

Sarah, I added your sister, and she added me back on flickr. That's a great picture.

ookoo, that is great! What a uniquely amusing attention-getter.

Thanks, everyone!

I wore this one the other night with a '50's dark plaid Suzy Perrette. The pin is probably late '30's but it looked great on the fabric. I do have fun - that's for sure!

It's signed Clements NY - a mystery mark.

Here's the back - it's pretty unusual!
