How to Find Gothic Jewelry
Over the years I have found beautiful ornate pieces of gothic jewelry for my collection from unusual places. I got my first gothic necklace from my grandmother, it was a marcasite cross. I loved it so much I tried to find other old pieces of jewelry so I started looking at garage sales and found an old spider ring with red gem eyes.The lady I bought it from wanted $20 and did not know anything about the ring, it had been given to her. Maybe you think that $30 for a ring from a garage sale is crazy but I knew this was a beautiful ring and I had to have it. I took the ring to a jeweler friend of mine who told me that the ring was gold and the eyes were small rubies. Ever since I found the spider ring at a garage sale I started going to garage sales regularly. I would check the newspapers early in the morning and select several sales that were in the same area. I also look for old beads, pins and beads that I disassemble and make new pieces of gothic jewelry from. Over the years I have been able to collect many fine pieces of gothic jewelry from garage sales. The most comments I get about my gothic jewelry is for the pieces that I have made from random parts of older jewelry.
