Costume Jewellery

I am crazy about costume jewellery, because I prefer to have many cheap things to choose from than a few fine jewellery.

Within the last few years I have fell totally in love with vintage costume jewellery and it has become a kind of hobby. I am especially crazy about lucite jewellery and charm bracelets from the fifties. The fifties has always been my favourite era. But I am crazy about everything old, because it has soul - new things never have. I love everything special and hate everything ordinary. As my mother in law says: she has an odd taste. But as my brother says: bad taste is also taste! :)
