    Hello everybody! :shame: I am a 28 yo Romanian lady who has recently-ish started collecting jewellery around 1 year and a half ago and have developed a knack for vintage and antique pieces. So my knowledge is not fantastic but I am a keen learner and curious to find the history behind different jewellery pieces. Mostly costume jewellery but a few months ago I've acquired some antique gold brooches. Victorian, Edwardian, Czech, plain weird and wonderful pieces have been welcomed in my collection. I like colourful pieces, everything gold and bronze tone, colourful stones and enamels. As I know it is for most, hunting for these pieces is a thrill of mine and something I occupy my time with to distract from my OCD and depression (not to sound gloomy haha). My OCD also serves as a help for my collecting or may I say, hoarding impulses. :p I might post some of my finds here soon.

    Long-ish post, I'm happy to be here and meet you all! :)

    Welcome! We do weird here! I say I collect jewelry older than I am and crazier than I am, but it's difficult to find anything crazier than I am.

    Hey! I feel you, we do refine our tastes the longer we collect, ain't it right? I find myself being pickier now. :p
