Although for the right piece, I would splurge.<br /> Here you can get some interesting pieces at pawn shops, particularly for watches, and Mexican and Native American jewelry. If you talk to an owner they might show you the cool stuff in the back room, where they break out the precious and semi precious stones in the less pretty pieces and sell to jewelers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-would-you-start-your-hunt-for-vintage-jewelry#post-1484941 Fri, 01 May 2015 11:26:30 +0000 chadya 1484941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>start with tag sales, estate sales, you will get the best deals there. </p> but get there as soon as you can before the dealers ☺ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-would-you-start-your-hunt-for-vintage-jewelry#post-1484917 Fri, 01 May 2015 10:23:28 +0000 dakotacheryl 1484917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yup, Estate sales and antique stores would be high on my list. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-would-you-start-your-hunt-for-vintage-jewelry#post-1484915 Fri, 01 May 2015 10:22:02 +0000 Anonymous 1484915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Estate sales. &nbsp;You will be amazed at what you find. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-would-you-start-your-hunt-for-vintage-jewelry#post-1484902 Fri, 01 May 2015 08:46:41 +0000 san 1484902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What in particular are you looking for in vintage jewelry Debbie?&nbsp; Cameos and that sort of thing? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-would-you-start-your-hunt-for-vintage-jewelry#post-1484745 Fri, 01 May 2015 05:48:52 +0000 Ledonna N. 1484745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Estate sales rake your phone with you because you can google anything now a days.
