When my mother passed away, I inherited her gorgeous pieces of jewelry, old and new. I could not part with anything so I use it throughout my home year round as well as wear it on occasion. Mom would have loved to see her pretty pins gracing my favorite pillows, candles and decorations. Her clip on earrings used in fun unique ways and her pearls and necklaces accenting vignettes.
My dining room table below shares a centerpiece designed using natural elements and candles wrapped in burlap, vintage ribbon with vintage pin and earring set. I can change these up for the season and the candles are faux with a warm glow. No melted wax to ruin the bling.
Dress form wearing lots of vintage pearls.
Below the last treasure my mother created and the pearls she wore all her days.
I love cameos and have many pretty ones to wear and display. This one is pinned to my dress form below.
Hope you have a wonderful Autumn and Happy Decorating.
Hugs, Celestina Marie

Your vintage bling is sooo pretty Celeste, and so full of precious memories!... I know your mama and grandmother are happy to see you having it out to display and enjoy... I love those pumpkins with the leaves and pins on them... everything is so gorgeous for Fall, and year round too... Happy Autumn to you!... xoxo Julie Marie
your home is so beautiful
Celestina,
What a great idea to use your mother's jewelry for Fall decorations. I love the vintage pearls draping over the frame and the vintage pin on the candle. When my mom passed away, I was handed down a few pieces of her jewelry too. I think I will be creative like you and use some of them. Such a lovely idea, and it brings us close to our moms again.

Your moms jelewry is something to be kept precious, youre so right! I know I keep mines, and I think what you do with is is creative and beautiful and most importantly, you interact with the things, not just keep them stuffed in a box!
Hugs,
Dearest Celestina Marie,
You found excellent ways for decorating your Mother's vintage custom jewelry.
Guess this used to be a lot more American style for using custom jewelry. My Mom mainly used real jewelry, the few pieces she possessed. I myself don't have any custom jewelry either and I'm not that much a bling lover. But the way you did it here is great and above all, you use your mother's things.
Hugs to you,
Mariette
Hi Celestina! You look like your enjoying fall :o) The centerpiece is gorgeous...I like how you used the beautiful pins from your mother and incorporate them in your decor...that just makes your decor more special and a beautiful reminder of her. I hope your doing well and that you have a wonderful fall weekend! Hugs Jennifer
Great ways to use that vintage jewelry! I love the look of the earrings on the leaves of the pumpkins
Love it all, yep, a little bling changes everything!!!

What a great idea!! I have jewelry inherited from both grandmothers and some my mom has passed on to me. Nothing's really the style I might wear, and the clip on earrings while not comfortable for wearing would be great in this sort of use. Better than just sitting in jewelry boxes unseen. I had used a few in some of my Christmas ornaments this past year just to get them out and in use.
Good Morning Celeste Sweetie...
What a beautiful share today. I love seeing the gorgeous uses for your sweet Momma's treasures. You can pick up each piece knowing the love that was given in selecting it, and then display it proudly in some small way that you love as well. It warms your heart and makes you smile as you pass by.
You have such a gift with displays and creations. I have not seen one thing of yours that has not been absolutely exquisite. You truly have a gift sweet friend.
Thank you for sharing today. I so enjoyed my pop by. Many hugs and much love, Sherry
The bling in your decor is quite subtle yet truly adds just the right amount of eye candy. Falling into Autumn Bliss...
Dear Celestina Marie,
I know your Mother and Grandmother must have been beautiful Ladies.
You must be so happy to have all their pretty jewels and pearls to remind you of them.
Love how you have decorated all the house with the most beautiful treasures.
Autumn is such a wonderful time of the year and also love your pretty flowers in the cup.
Hugs
Carolyn
