<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marko, post: 174162, member: 210&quot;]My jewelry collecting started at a young age.&nbsp; My mother wore a lot of costume jewelry, and when I was ill (which was frequently as a child), she let me sit in bed and play with her jewelry box..&nbsp; My favorite aunt always wore a lot of costume sets, too.&nbsp; I started collecting at a local flea market as soon as I was old enough to drive, age 17,&nbsp; so that makes 42 years.&nbsp; One of my best Christmas presents comes from my family not having enough money for Christmas for my sister and me.&nbsp; My dad only had $10 a piece for us back in the 60s.&nbsp; My mom made this very special.&nbsp; She took us to Lee Jewelers in Pleasantville, NJ, and she had them bring out trays of rings for us to look at (birthstone rings, alexandrite purple spinels for June.)&nbsp; We were so excited and felt all grown up.&nbsp; I guess this has always stayed with me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
