144/365 Costume jewelry

Costume jewelry is one of those things that they just don't make like they used to.

My grandmother has oodles of old costume jewelry that is 50 years old or more, and so much of it is still beautiful.

Over the years we've sold pieces that she doesn't have a use for any more, but I've snatched a handful for myself, like a few of these. Some I'm able to wear to work, others I've worn for more formal occasions. I like the thought that at one time, she -- or my great-grandmother -- wore them, too.

Camera: Canon 40D with 60mm macro lens and external E-TTL flash, 1/125s, f/2.8 at ISO 100.
