When I first started selling jewelry, it was a bit of a fluke. I purchased a large box (the kind a ream of paper comes in) FULL of costume jewelry from the 40’s & 50’s from an estate. Started throwing it up a piece at a time on ebay with no reserve and was just amazed at the prices it was bringing.

You upload or paste the URL where an image is located and it gives you everywhere it is being used online, as well as similar ones. My first thought was it was http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AntiqueJewelryFromPerfectjewelsnet/~3/cfmMqniy5tA/cool-new-site.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Antique Jewelry from Perfect Jewels)1http://victorianjewels.blogspot.com/2008/09/cool-new-site.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639341934263296984.post-973137791891679480Sat, 23 Aug 2008 11:43:00 +00002008-08-23T05:02:26.986-07:00Well, in addition to our website, we started offering our items two months ago on GoAntiques. This week, however, we received an email announcing that GoAntiques has been sold to something called the WorthPoint Corporation. Sounds disturbingly similar to the Hanso Foundation from the TV series Lost, which I freely admit I am addicted to.
