Pink Saturday - Jewelry

People! Beverly at How Sweet the Sound hosts Pink Saturday. Pause at her Place to see Plenty of other Pretty Pink items that Precious Pink Participating People are Putting out for Presentation.

Funny, as I age I find that my things are VINTAGE. There are two groups of synonyms for vintage. I think I'll choose Group 1. If you'd like to chose Group 2, please don't tell me!

Group 1: classic, typical, traditional, essential, prime, pure, first-rate, first-class, archetypal

Group 2: out-of-date, dated, antique, old-fashioned, old, outmoded, antiquated

This is a scatter pin. It's made of some kind of metal. It did not cost much, and it lives in my jewelry box. I may have worn it once or twice.


Here is another metal scatter pin with matching clip-on earrings. Remember those? OUCH! My ear lobes would stay red for the longest time after I removed them! Because this was a matching set, I wore them more often. However, I haven't worn them for thirty-six years--ever since I got my ears pierced and found pain-free earring beauty. I do prefer pain-free beauty, don't you?


They live in my jewelry box too. My fifteen-year-old granddaughter, Jenna, loves to rummage through my jewelry box and try things on. Whatever floats your boat!

Check out the BOOK GIVEAWAYS in my sidebar. Happy Pink Saturday.

    Oh I remember them but because my mom & Grandma had them... I loved playing with them too... by the time I was able to wear earrings piercing was in... So I wore pierced earrings forever... I love your pink flower set... Maybe you could have them converted... Have a wonderful day... Is it cool there??? IT is cool over here in Pinellas County...

    Memories, Mary... My mother used to wear jewelry like that. When she died, I inherited her jewelry box. I still have it--tucked away somewhere. Wonder what will happen to that old jewelry (none of which is worth much money-wise). Maybe a granddaughter will want it someday.

    Hugs,
    Betsy

    Going through my jewelry box is on my To Do list. I also remember clip ons, eek! I love the pinks. There should be some way to incorporate them into present day crafting. Scrapbook embellishments? Glued on a painting? Garden art?

    I had some of that enameled jewelry when I was younger too. I haven't managed to keep it, though, it's all disappeared.

    Hope things are nice in FL this week - we are spending some time in Tampa.

    Happy Pink Saturday, Sal!

    I must be the only female in the universe without pierced ears. Yes, I wear clip ons and yes, they pinch and hurt. LOL Your bright pink offerings for Pink Saturday remind me of Goldie Hawn in Laugh-In. Was that the name of the show? LOL

    I'd wear this set all the time, Sally! I had all of my mom's clip ons and screw ons changed to pierced. It really wasn't much money.

    Happy Pink Saturday Sally
    Those were cute little pink earrings and clip. I remember how they hurt too. They would come out with different kinds and they still hurt! I wonder whether they could be changed into pierced earrings?
    I would imagine they would be fun for your granddaughter to play with.

    I hope you are having some nice warm weather...and having a great day!

    I choose number 1 too, Sally. Your jewelry is pretty. I think I am in the very rare group that does not have pierced ears! I bought some clip ons for a recent class reunion.

    Sally your post today gave me a good chuckle. I choose #1. Your scatter pins and earings are very pretty in pink. Thinks like that are just not the going thing. Maybe you should give your granddaughter some of your jewelry now. I bet she would be thrilled. I am seriously thinking of giving some of mine to my granddaughters. I just don't wear so much of it anymore.

    Love your pink post today.

    I remember those metal flower pins during the 60's, but I had pierced ears. I do remember my mom rubbing her sore ears from the clip on earrings though. ☺

    Sally, very sweet PS post! I agree with the first group of words for Vintage, as do you. At my age I think everything I've had for the last 10 years qualifies.

    The pink daisies are special. I adore daisies! :-)

    Happy Pink Saturday!!

    Lol Sal....I have such a lovely collection of vintage ( consider myself part of group #1 also) "OUCHY" earrings! I inhereted lots of the "ouchys" from my Noni,and because of that (especially when they have a matching pin) I hate not to wear them! So...I have started to use the on the points of a collar,on lapels on a blazer,on a plain bobby pin(oh god that is aging me too)and it is a great way to still use them! I have some vintage rhinestone ones that I mix up on one side of a black blazer ....and girl...I'm BLINGIN!

    Hi Sally!
    making my way to the Pink Saturday girls that I couldn't get to. Wow, it has taken me three days to leave 147 comments but I didn't want to leave anyone out! This has been so much fun!

    I have similar pins...you should wear yours! I was fortunate enough to inherit my collection of pins from my grandmother and my late mother in-law. I always try to wear one piece everyday.

    Lovely Pink Post!
