Something old….Wedding sales on Etsy

One of the things I love most about selling on Etsy is talking to the customers. I get to talk to people all around the world. I sell everything, but the store focuses mostly on jewelry. Recently I have made two sales to women who purchased my jewelry to wear on their wedding day.

Josie, from California, bought these earrings. Her wedding is tomorrow, June 8th. Vintage Dangle Earrings. The earrings are trimmed in marcasite. The bottom is black enamel, with the top circle in Mother of Pearl. These measure 1.75 inches long and .5 inches wide. They are marked “925” and signed by “NS”. It will be raining in RI tomorrow, but I hope she has beautiful weather for her wedding. I have never been to California, but I imagine that they always have beautiful weather 🙂
