Antique Victorian Black Mourning Necklace with Black Beads and Pendant

I developed a love of small, intricate objects when I was a girl; a passion that became a vintage jewelry obsession as an adult. Eventually, I curated such a robust collection that I opened a brick and mortar store in the historic town of Ellicott City, MD. In 2016, a monstrous storm devastated the town and we lost everything except the small number of pieces of jewelry we were able to rescue from the wreckage. Despite this horrific experience, my love of vintage jewelry continues, a passion that I now pass on to my twin granddaughters when we play jewelry store. Peek inside my VJA store with hundreds of individually curated items. You may be delighted at seeing a piece from the past smiling back at you.
